i've been to Tupperware parties in the past and i damn sure don't want to see those women learning to pole dance. trust me, i would not be a pretty sight.
Posted by: wickedwitch | February 26, 2007 at 02:27 PM
Do they still teach you how to "burp" them afterwards?
and FIRST!!!
Posted by: Layzeeboy | February 26, 2007 at 02:29 PM
I've danced with Poles. They're usually not very coordinated.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 26, 2007 at 02:30 PM
YAY JG!!
Might be interesting bu I'd probably hurt myself trying.
Posted by: Siouxie | February 26, 2007 at 02:30 PM
Maybe this will finally lead to a decent state motto.

Tupperware parties with margaritas and drag queens. Really. You don't remember what you bought, but boy it was fun.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 26, 2007 at 02:34 PM
*adds a 't' up there*
Posted by: Siouxie | February 26, 2007 at 02:36 PM
Was going to add an r to my first post but decided it's funnier the way it is.
Posted by: Layzeeboy | February 26, 2007 at 02:38 PM
"portable pole" is a euphemism with which I am unfamiliar. BOB?
Posted by: Nurse Tammy | February 26, 2007 at 02:40 PM
In a related story: Poles 'vital for climate science'.
Who would have guessed?
Posted by: jon | February 26, 2007 at 02:42 PM
again no photos
*sigh*

Hey, a new career for Twitney once she gets out of rehab!
Posted by: marfie | February 26, 2007 at 02:44 PM
I thought Pole dancing was the Polka.
Posted by: pogo | February 26, 2007 at 02:44 PM
She'd stick to the pole, marf.
Posted by: Layzeeboy | February 26, 2007 at 02:45 PM
But have the RBR performed the "Pole Dancing Song"?
Although I suppose that could be taken in ENTIRELY the wrong way.
Posted by: sthnbelle | February 26, 2007 at 02:46 PM
Y'know, I used to hope that Mrs. H. might someday host one of those lingerie parties... but I can see where this would be WAY more fun for me to stay up in my office, ignoring completely, and respecting everyone's privacy.

If pole dancing replaces tupperware, what am I supposed to put my tuna salad in when I bring lunch?
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | February 26, 2007 at 02:51 PM
Eewwwe! Grandmothers too! Well, it might would keep her busy for a while...
Posted by: Beppie | February 26, 2007 at 02:52 PM
ewww Layzee!
Posted by: Siouxie | February 26, 2007 at 02:52 PM
Gadfly I saw this article with a photo. All I can say is be glad this has none. I mean it was like a nursing home except with stripping.
Posted by: Edgar Greenberg | February 26, 2007 at 02:53 PM
DPC - major faux pas, talking about fish at a time like this!
Posted by: Nurse Tammy | February 26, 2007 at 02:53 PM
Chris - you eat lunch while you pole dance?
Posted by: marfie | February 26, 2007 at 02:55 PM
"Sexual Kitten" WBAGNFARB. Or a pole dancer, come to think.
Posted by: WriterDude | February 26, 2007 at 02:55 PM
The bot is being VERY passive-aggressive today...
Posted by: marfie | February 26, 2007 at 02:56 PM
"WriterDude" would be a good name for a pole dancer, doncha think?
Posted by: marfie | February 26, 2007 at 02:57 PM
I think it's time we formed a Bot Posse. Get me some rope!
Posted by: Beppie | February 26, 2007 at 02:58 PM
marfie, I'm gonna have to pole dance for the bot. It started on me!
wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Posted by: Siouxie | February 26, 2007 at 02:59 PM
Maybe, marfie. The visual reality, not so much.
Posted by: WriterDude | February 26, 2007 at 03:01 PM
I've been tangoing with the bloody thing all day. I think it's a stalker at heart. Give it a go Siouxie (and *snork!*).
Posted by: marfie | February 26, 2007 at 03:02 PM
*chanting*
Kill the bot!
Kill the bot!
Kill the bot!
Kill the bot!
Kill the bot!

You might check with Mrs. WD before you give up on the idea completely. There pole dancing and there's *pole dancing*, if you know whut I mean...
Posted by: marfie | February 26, 2007 at 03:04 PM
1) But I like fish. And tacos. And fish tacos.
2) I have a pole, and I dance, but I do not 'pole dance'. And I don't eat while I'm doing it.
3) There (still) is no 3.
4) I have been known to snack while my wife was dancing on my pole...
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | February 26, 2007 at 03:05 PM
Do you dance on a pole, with a pole, around a pole, up a pole...? The mental images are endless.
What do the Poles have to say?
Posted by: "John Galt" | February 26, 2007 at 03:07 PM
DPC... well said.
Posted by: Nurse Tammy | February 26, 2007 at 03:07 PM
Alrighty then, Chris!! Carry on...
*reminds self to get extra batteries for her portable pole*
Posted by: Siouxie | February 26, 2007 at 03:10 PM
I am pretty sure this is not Polka which is far more difficult and fyi (Annie), not readily accomplished by klutzes.
Posted by: tjblaze | February 26, 2007 at 03:12 PM
*snicker*
I have been up blogging too long. Have lack of sleep headache approaching. Thanks for all the snorks!
Posted by: Nurse Tammy | February 26, 2007 at 03:12 PM
Hey! I can polka!
Nite Nite, Tammy!!!
Posted by: Siouxie | February 26, 2007 at 03:15 PM
JohnGalt, any or all of the above depending on the music and mood.
Posted by: Dagney | February 26, 2007 at 03:18 PM
Nobody is ever allowed to say anything bad about New jersey ever!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: Addicted to 24 | February 26, 2007 at 03:18 PM
Where I come from we learn to polka before we learn to walk. There's a local band that has 12 Grammys for their polka albums ISIANMTU
The pole dancers aren't too shabby either.
Posted by: Layzeeboy | February 26, 2007 at 03:19 PM
**snork** @ Dagney
Posted by: Clean Hands | February 26, 2007 at 03:20 PM
Or else they'll get whacked, At2?
(Sorry, grew up in Vermont, where just the words "New Joisey" were snicker-inducing, except when uttered in Town Meeting, usually in the context "Well, back where I came from in New Joisey, we..." Then it was groan-inducing.)
Posted by: Clean Hands | February 26, 2007 at 03:37 PM
CH, were you anywhere near St. Albans or Montgomery Center? I've met some great people from that area.
Posted by: Patrick O | February 26, 2007 at 04:02 PM
Jimmy Surr, right, Layzee' ???
Posted by: OtheU(manity) | February 26, 2007 at 04:02 PM
You got it, OtheU
Posted by: Layzeeboy | February 26, 2007 at 04:04 PM
Grew up in the Lake Champlain Islands -- about a 20-minute drive to Snalbans, in the summer. (In the winter, sometimes "ya can't get theah from heah.")
Posted by: Clean Hands | February 26, 2007 at 04:45 PM
Gee, I go do an errand and nearly miss the thrill of snorkage induced by my own contribution (alas, not tax-deductible, but possibly charitable).
When I saw Dave's headline, I wasn't sure whether he'd posted this scintillating item from Meanie's neck of the woods: N.J. Town to Set Time Limit on Barking . Or this other heartwarming tidbit: N.J. accountant figures tax-filing, bars are a good mix .
fkaM: If DIY pole dancing is overtaking multi-level marketing as a social pasttime, wouldn't it be more like an indecent state motto? ;-) The current one only dates to 1959, which was about the time that farmland started being paved over in a really big way... Tho' when I was a sprout, you could still smell the pig farms in Secaucus.
Posted by: JerseyGirl | February 26, 2007 at 05:06 PM
Now, sadly, you can smell Secaucus from the pig farms.
Posted by: Clean Hands | February 26, 2007 at 06:47 PM
JerseyGirl, Its not indecent, its culture. I think it certainly qualifies as performing art. Can they get a grant?
Posted by: The blog reader formerly known as Matt | February 26, 2007 at 06:55 PM
fkaM, I didn't know you're a vulcha fa culcha. ;-)
CH... When I was in college, the fragrance of the Rhinegold Brewery used to waft over from Orange when the wind shifted... Now that was a treat.
*starts singing "My beer is Rhinegold the dry beer" for DPC on the earlier thread*
As for the Jersey Meadows, I'm not sure where the pig farms are nowadays. Maybe way down in South Jersey... or over in Pennsy.
(BTW, I've been up to the Lake Champlain Islands... lovely country up there. Also used to go to Lyndonville for the American Society of Dowsers conference at Lyndon State College... Lots of interesting kindred spirits there, just like here on the blog...
Posted by: JerseyGirl | February 26, 2007 at 10:42 PM
Does this mean that Dave will be writing "The Pole Dancing Blues" soon?
