Re: You Know Me, Sir

Somehow the familiarity of those times survives the years; we chatted amiably for hours, noting that we'd both lost touch with the folks we'd been dating.

I've read this story before. That's not the ending. Everyone! TiVo resettage!

I guess Unf will have to go find himself a new blog to hide from the in-laws, Alameida-like. And decades from now, some enterprising young blog-historian can trace the connections of secret blogs hiding secret bloggers in the face of marriage.

Think of it, ogged. If you met a girl of whom it was true not only that you could tell her about unfogged (which you'd be forced to do eventually anyway), but also that you could tell her parents, wouldn't that mean that she was The One?

Though I suppose this means that the ex's parents were in the dark.

ogged,

I really don't fit the part of the actor/friend in "Sideways" but dude - "Engagement party," "old friend," "canoodling memories."

I mean, c'mon, you aren't going to get a better setup than this. Ever.

Chopper,

Nice, very nice. Sold out both nights, future tickets selling well, standing ovulation. Thanks for asking.

One bit of lowbrow humor - I lift a cast member as she runs in the air to get away. Saturday I must have lifted her a little too close, her heel plunked me in the wedding tackle.

It was one of those cases where the sensation starts small and grows. Totally my fault, but this bass was singing soprano until the end of that song.

I won't make that mistake again!

And from the sound of it, it was low-impact canoodling at that. Ogged and his special friend were probably just hugging.

I took

The area where the penis meets the groin would seem to fit this definition: A joining of two things or parts so as to admit of motion. Unless there is something wrong with my joint. In which case I should get that movement checked out.

Also, w-lfs-n, SB, FL, or Weiner should really use their analytic skills and define under what circumstances we can consider ogged's TiVo reset. What if he decides to switch teams? Must he be a top? Etc. Failing to plan is planning to fail, people.

Boy, my first boyfriend was always insisting that he had an abnormal penis because you could move it around like a joystick. Not knowing better, I believed him, until I encountered others. He was relieved when I informed him that in fact, he was just like everybody else.

I think anatomical jointhood implies a meeting of ligaments and bone. What you have there is a cock nexus. I mean, you can tense and relax, tense and relax, tense and relax your buttocks, but what you have there is not, by dint of your waggling, a joint.

SB:

There are ligaments associated with the penis, and we do call inserting one's penis in another "boning," so I think we're at least metaphorically close even on your definition.

On 40, I want to say that the real question is in a disaster, if you had to choose, which would you save, your penis or your cat. But that's too easy. What about: your penis or your mom?

OK, back on topic:

I don't see what incentive Unf has not to tell FILTB about the blog. It's not like he ever posts anything revealing (or anything at all).

And--"ah, so you're the other half of Unfogged"--clearly he did not mean the other half to Unf, since Unf does not take half the burden. So you must be the other half with respect to another participant in the conversation--that is, FFIL. And who's the other other half? Labs. So FFIL is Labs. As well as w-lfs-n. He gets around.
