That explains the cr0tch itch and why my Doctors haven't found a cure.

AHHHHH! a little more to the left...yeah! that's IT!
Posted by: Siouxie | January 31, 2008 at 05:57 PM
Er, to get to the other side?

Fish scratch themselves? With WHAT?
Posted by: DeskDiva | January 31, 2008 at 06:01 PM
I really don't appreciate my skin and my brain communicating behind my itchy back.
*rubs back on door jam like a bear*
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.......

"And "anything" may even include electric catfish."
I suppose it would kind of have to, wouldn't it?
Posted by: SpamLamb | January 31, 2008 at 06:38 PM
Don't get me started, Diva.

It itches? Doesn't explain why Brittany scratchs her crotch when she imagines herself as a British woman?
Posted by: lilrascal | January 31, 2008 at 06:56 PM
If itching is so addictive, why are itches all in places one cannot reach (in a polite manner)?

Brittany? Why all the talk about that crazy chick??
Posted by: RB | January 31, 2008 at 06:58 PM
Brittany is our top government official in Britian. Paris controls the armed forces. Oprah confirms new law and rules our Executive branch. And Sally Jesse Raphael needs more names.
Posted by: lilrascal | January 31, 2008 at 07:03 PM
D*mmit, I've been itching like crazy as I was reading that article! It's worse than when you read an article about yawning!
...
*yawn*
D*mmit.

I wonder if this will put the Cortisone people out of business.
Posted by: Elizabette | January 31, 2008 at 07:37 PM
That explains the "compulsively itchy dog" syndrome nicely doesn't it?

For CJ. (Don't knock it, I got ya the exec version.)
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 31, 2008 at 07:56 PM
I'm not even gonna mention crabs. nope. wouldn't do that. not here, not ever.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | January 31, 2008 at 08:13 PM
Confidential to Doc again: Oops. He says it's not him. Never mind!
Posted by: DeskDiva | January 31, 2008 at 08:20 PM
hope that had nuthin' to do with crabs and itchin, Diva. just sayin'.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | January 31, 2008 at 08:21 PM
Wyo, the only crabs that interest me are the ones they serve at Red Lobster. ;-)
Posted by: DeskDiva | January 31, 2008 at 08:31 PM
Wyo, I bet crabs do itch. Look at the funny way they walk.
Posted by: baligurl | January 31, 2008 at 08:31 PM
bali, it's all that sand in their underwear.

scratching activated areas of the brain associated with memory and pleasure, while at the same time it suppressed areas associated with the sensation of pain and emotions.
Duh!
(scratch, scratch)
Posted by: Mike Huckabee | January 31, 2008 at 08:45 PM
That explains a lot, Diva, and I don't mean just about the crabs. The beach just gets funner and funner!
Posted by: baligurl | January 31, 2008 at 08:45 PM
Does someone need their back scratched? I just got my nails done. ;-)
Posted by: Meditrina | January 31, 2008 at 08:46 PM
The good thing is the chitin of their shells completely satisfies the itch.
Posted by: circuit7 | January 31, 2008 at 08:46 PM
A meat fork works well for where humans can't reach...
Posted by: circuit7 | January 31, 2008 at 08:47 PM
I use a letter opener. Not NEARLY as sharp!
Posted by: DeskDiva | January 31, 2008 at 08:54 PM
Youse guys are just askin' for a CJ monologue.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 31, 2008 at 08:55 PM
Door jambs are handy for parts of the upper torso. On the other hand,door knobs suffice for the nether regions. CAUTION!! Don't get 'hung up' on those newer lever handles.

*zips™ in* (gracias, El)
*watching LOST* (woo hoo!)
*zips™ out*
Posted by: Siouxie | January 31, 2008 at 09:28 PM
ItchX. My kids' allergists turned us onto it. It overrides that hooty-tooty, scientific mumbo jumbo, and just stops the itch.
Posted by: Meditrina | January 31, 2008 at 09:29 PM
To heck with ItchX. I need BitchX for some of the people I know!
Posted by: Auntie M | January 31, 2008 at 09:30 PM
LOL, AM. Me too!
Posted by: Meditrina | January 31, 2008 at 09:31 PM
lol, Auntie M. and I don't LOL much. just sayin'.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | January 31, 2008 at 09:43 PM
Hey, I just try and speak the truth here. Now I have to go to bed so I can fend off this stupid sore throat. Night! (I know, I'm a wimp.)
Posted by: Auntie M | January 31, 2008 at 09:48 PM
Wyooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!
I'm itchin' for sour cream & onion potato chips and a coors light. Is there a cure for that?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 31, 2008 at 09:49 PM
I find when it itches, it helps to lick.
Posted by: Jazzzz | January 31, 2008 at 09:51 PM
Auntie, if they ever come out with that I know the first person I'm going to use it on.
Posted by: Doc Rick | January 31, 2008 at 09:51 PM
And no, it's not you Annie. The 14 year old step-son to be precise. My ex-wife isn't as moody as that kid.
Posted by: Doc Rick | January 31, 2008 at 09:52 PM
!!!ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooyW
Annie, I've got s/c & onion Pringles™ and a Heiny. Good enough?
Posted by: Siouxie | January 31, 2008 at 09:54 PM
Is it a Cuban Heiny?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 31, 2008 at 09:56 PM
Does your Heiny itch ? ;-)
Posted by: Jazzzz | January 31, 2008 at 09:56 PM
*smacks Jazzz with Siouxie's heiny*
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 31, 2008 at 09:57 PM
You bet your butt, Ms. Annie.
And no, Mr. Jazzzzzzzie ;-P
Posted by: Siouxie | January 31, 2008 at 10:00 PM
whut?????
Posted by: Jazzzz | January 31, 2008 at 10:05 PM
*wonders why Wyooooooooooo was so quickly associated with heiny*
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | January 31, 2008 at 10:05 PM
hey Wyo my friend...Cold up there?
Posted by: Jazzzz | January 31, 2008 at 10:06 PM
*gets hit by the rest of Sio's butt, falls over*
Sorry Sio, Annie told me to say that.
Posted by: CJrun | January 31, 2008 at 10:09 PM
Don't know if anyone is interested, but I found this today. Not really thread worthy, but funny nonetheless. Good to know the writers are keeping busy during their strike. It does contain foul language for anyone with small children within earshot of your location.
Posted by: Doc Rick | January 31, 2008 at 10:11 PM
ya mo funny, Doc
Posted by: Jazzzz | January 31, 2008 at 10:20 PM
There are 10 more in that series Jazzzz. The first two in the series made me cry from laughter. Funny stuff.
Posted by: Doc Rick | January 31, 2008 at 10:26 PM
You're welcome, Siouxie. :)
I have a wooden back scratcher with a little painted face on it. Strange....
Also, people who talk about secrets in front of others should share with the class. At least that's what my 5th grade teacher always said. :)
*waves hi to Jazzzz*
Posted by: Eleanor | January 31, 2008 at 10:38 PM
Hiya, Jazzzz! Don't see you for days on end, now it's a few in a row. Lucky us!!!
Posted by: DeskDiva | January 31, 2008 at 10:44 PM
He El!!!! Got my new baby!! Also will be up early for you know who.......I'll catch you then....
Posted by: Jazzzz | January 31, 2008 at 10:45 PM
HE EL???? ....HEYYYYYYY El!!!
Posted by: Jazzzz | January 31, 2008 at 10:46 PM
Somebody has secrets? I didn't think this blog was capable of keeping secrets. ;)
Posted by: Doc Rick | January 31, 2008 at 10:47 PM
Jazzzz - you have a BABY?! ;o)
Posted by: DeskDiva | January 31, 2008 at 10:48 PM
Lookin forward to it, Jazzzz!!!! ;)
Posted by: Eleanor | January 31, 2008 at 10:52 PM
El & Jazzzzzzie?? Share with the rest of the class!!
Posted by: Siouxie | January 31, 2008 at 10:54 PM
Well Diva....my new baby has strings and frets
Posted by: Jazzzz | January 31, 2008 at 10:55 PM

Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | January 31, 2008 at 10:57 PM
Hmmm.... Jazzz, is your baby acoustic or all hooked up? Inquiring minds wanna know. ;-)
Posted by: Meditrina | January 31, 2008 at 10:59 PM

Posted by: Meditrina | January 31, 2008 at 11:01 PM
Both Med...I had them (Gruhn Guitars of Nashville, where I got it) install a pickup that you can't see. I will take pics soon. It's gorgeous
Posted by: Jazzzz | January 31, 2008 at 11:05 PM
OOh, I wanna see too, Jazzzz! You can bring it to Show and Tell on Monday. :-)
Posted by: DeskDiva | January 31, 2008 at 11:10 PM
Make, model? anything?
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | January 31, 2008 at 11:11 PM

Posted by: Jazzzz | January 31, 2008 at 11:13 PM
LOL, Jazzzz - you're a riot.
Posted by: DeskDiva | January 31, 2008 at 11:14 PM
Wyo.....It's a Martin HD-28 ("1833 Restricted" model) Only 7 made. Has a light brown "sunburst" finish.
Posted by: Jazzzz | January 31, 2008 at 11:15 PM
Oh, my god. A Martin HD-28? I am in awe. Seriously. Those are awesome. Sorry to drool. They are truly beautiful and sooo smooth to play.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 31, 2008 at 11:19 PM
trying to catch my breath. can't wait for the photos. congratulations, really.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | January 31, 2008 at 11:20 PM
Thankee....it is sweet....I'll get some pics together in a day or two.........
Posted by: Jazzzz | January 31, 2008 at 11:23 PM
Jazzzz, you may know that I'm a fiddle maker. as such, I have a great appreciation for fine instruments.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | January 31, 2008 at 11:26 PM
OMG!! A Martin HD-28?? that is WAY betterer than the HD-27!
I'm off to bed, now I can sleep. Niters, muchachos & muchachas!
Posted by: Siouxie | January 31, 2008 at 11:26 PM
What Wyo says... I haven't played one of those in nearly 20 years and I still remember the experience.
I gotta go sit down.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 31, 2008 at 11:26 PM
Siouxie - it really is an incredible guitar. Don't know how to explain it, didn't mean to drool, but....wow. Beats the patootie out of my Stella.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 31, 2008 at 11:30 PM
Jazzzz - you need to make some recordings and post 'em here for us!
Posted by: DeskDiva | January 31, 2008 at 11:33 PM
I believe you! Didn't mean to make fun. I personally prefer the organ and I also drool over a great instrument. ;-P
Buenas noches!
Posted by: Siouxie | January 31, 2008 at 11:33 PM
I once had a Takamine 12 string, jumbo body. Not a particularly noteworthy model, but this particular instrument had something special. Every once in a while, there's just an exceptional combination of luck, craftsmanship and material. something divine.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | January 31, 2008 at 11:38 PM
Aria Pro-IV - so sweet it was stolen. :(
Nite, Sioux.... I will shush now.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 31, 2008 at 11:41 PM
Stolen sucks.
Posted by: DeskDiva | January 31, 2008 at 11:52 PM
Annie....when I was younger, (I still owe Moses 5 bucks) I had a "regular" D-28 that was stolen. It broke my heart as I had owned it for 20 years. That was 15 or so years ago. I have others, as I also collect, but it was always that guitar I thought of. Well, the stars came together, and I located this beauty at Gruhn. They are the premier Guitar (banjo, mandolin) shop in the world. Mostly vintage instruments. Liz and I drove (400 miles) to Nashville, and I played it, then they shipped it to me after doing the install. It looks almost just like my old one, but plays, looks and sounds BETTER! It is truly sweet. They made 7. If you go to "gruhnguitar.com", then "inventory" then "Martin flat tops", they have one almost like it (Gruhn got two of the 7) It is the "HD28 custom 1833 Restricted". A lot of cool guitars here. Even a 1942 Martin D45 just "reduced" to $150,000.
Wyo.....didn't know you were a luthier. I would love to see some pics of your work. I also have some vintage pieces (Gibson ES175 / 1950 Gibson lap steel) you might like. We will "get together" on reg e-mail. Off to stroke my baby ;-)
Posted by: Jazzzz | February 01, 2008 at 07:51 AM
Jazzz - I know who Gruhn is. I got to play a Martin at McCabes Music in Santa Monica. I was doing a showcase there and they actually let me touch the thing. Playing it was incredible. Enjoy your new love - it's definitely worth the trip to get it!
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | February 01, 2008 at 09:26 AM
Jazzz, I live not too far from the Martin factory where they give tours. Unbelievable.
Wyo, my Takamine 12 string is my all-time favorite. (Mahogony finish).
