Dave Barry's Blog: THIS IS SO OVERDUE

OT: Is anybody else experiencing weird browser behavior (Internet Explorer) with the DB Blog site? My pages keep automatically bouncing to Google with “ Your search - http://media.adrevolver.com/adrevolver/banner?place=21153 - did not match any documents.” on any DB blog page I visit. This isn’t happening with other sites, just this blog. Anybody? Bueller?

No? OK. Never mind.

insom, do you mean you took Google out of your toolbar? I tried that, cleared my history and temporary internet files, etc., and it still does it.

Dave,

Please add the following clarifications:

(1) On guys.

(2) On any women whose robust figure results in said tights exceeding the recommended PSI for said tights.

(3) In a situation where said tights are upon a gorgeous woman with the appropriate physique, said pants are considered pants so long as a "sweatshirt flap" is not adhered to the posterior area. Such attachment of the sweatshirt flap results in a tights / sweatshirt flap combination making said tights actually tights.

Thank you for your attention.

Thank you, Pants Czar, for the third clarification.

I have a feeling, though, that this particular protestation (adding that to my "list of cool words I made up") is geared towards clarifications 1 and 2.

Thanks none the less.

these anti-tights people have too much free time.

Although they are preferable to rump hangers that cover only the legs of boxer shorts.

This also applies to carrot-juice-swilling wiry folks of all genders on whom tights hang like pants.

some women look okay "smuggling yoyo's"...
others, not so much

Hey, jazzzz, that's a new one on me!

I love men in tights1

Jazzzz,

I think you mean "smuggling yoyos".

Posted by: Bournemouth Council Licensing Chief Steve Wright | June 01, 2008 at 11:35 AM

ok..but it's OK for ballet dancers of the male kind?? Right?? Nothing wrong with gawking at the bulgingness.

whatever

Posted by: Jazzzz | June 01, 2008 at 11:46 AM

there is a whole culture out here that is "apostrophe challenged" ....we can't help it. Some of us have diseases that have progressed to include semi-colons, and overuse of periods. please don't make us feel "out of place"

Posted by: Jazzzz | June 01, 2008 at 12:41 PM

Jazzz....I don't have any recommendations for the high semi-colonics, but there are pills now for the overuse of periods.

Posted by: Betsy | June 01, 2008 at 02:56 PM

I'm sorry, I'm going to have to call a judges ruling on this one; Smuggling Yo-Yos?

(apparently, y'all are hyphen-challenged, as well)

Posted by: Brian | June 01, 2008 at 03:42 PM

*snork* @ Betsy...
Brian... hyphen, lowphen...you get the "picture"

Posted by: Jazzzz | June 01, 2008 at 03:51 PM

I knew a girl who lost her hyphen while horseback riding.
