Jason: One can be appropriately slutty?
I like that.

It's true, Cat. One can be. And one should be.

Re: Carwash

There's a self carwash near my house, off of White Bear Ave and Larpenteur, where you can still buy a car wash for a dollar. Two dollars and you'll get enough time to wax.

Re: DeRusha
It takes a brave man with taste to buy clothing for his wife. I salute thee.

My fella showed me that article, Jason, and I couldn't stop laughing about the "slutty" comments...then I shouted, "$400 dress?! Ohmygod. Don't ever buy me a $400 dress. We can go on vacation for that."

I payed $9 for a car wash last weekend...but I'm lazy, so I'll cough up the extra dough to just sit in my car and be pulled through the brushes.

wow, that is big money. i hope DeRusha buys me a dress some day.

I wouldn't pay $400 to put a dress on a woman, but I might pay that much to get it off of her.

jderusha10:17am

I should clear up that I didn't actually buy that dress for my wife. Not that I don't love her, but $400 buys a lot of dresses in our world.

The assignment was to select a dress, The Rake would photograph it, and return it to the store.

jderusha10:18am

And apparently the assignment was also to use the word "slutty" four times in one sentence.

And here I thought you lit Cuban cigars with $100 bills, Jason.

Cat  url10:19am

$400 seems inexpensive for appropriately slutty. You could probably do inappropriately slutty for a lot less. But, maybe that's the point.
Is it always cheaper to be inappropriate? Or only when slutty is attached.
Sorry, I just like saying slutty. It's my eight year-old word of the day.

It's fair to say the word "slutty" is not appreciated in my house today.

Love in our house equates to $10 DVDs previously viewed from Blockbuster and the occasional surprise frozen Totinos Party Pizza. Of which I received two of this week, so I know my husband loves me a lot.

Very cute dress, but not $400 cute.

Mine is weiner, Cat. WEINER WEINER WEINER!

Cat  url10:25am

Well, when you say it like that, Alie. I immediately got the giggles so now I will be saying:

slutty slutty slutty
WEINER WEINER WEINER!

Maybe I'll go grocery shopping and randomly shout this out.

aliecat  url10:32am

You have to do it in a sing song voice and drag out the syllables when you go to the grocery store for the maximum effect! Hehe!

mb2110:33am

And make sure you're carrying a package of hot dogs in both hands.

dude, we're in the post-Paris Hilton era. slutty is the new black.

That's exactly how I was saying/singing it in my head and prancing around like a kid does.

And make sure you're carrying a package of hot dogs in both hands.

I'm crying I'm laughing so hard. I will be at the Edina Cub Foods @ 2:30pm if anyone would like to join me in the "slutty weiner shopping extravanganza."
I won't be wearing the appropriately slutty dress, though. More like hoodie and jeans.

Cat - keep an eye out... maybe I'll come along to pick up some more bananas.

i've been finding ways to say "moist" and "discharge" as much as possible today

Cat  url11:16am

I double dog dare you to wear bring the sock monkey out in the afternoon.
Well, you prolly don't want me to be there when that happens as I guarantee that I will bust out the loud laughter.

That is way too funny, mb21.

And spaceman, as much as I love your words, they may not be a good fit with either slutty or weiner. That moves quickly into grooosss.

mb2111:18am

By the way the sock monkey is relevent to the thread becaue it was my answer to not going as a slutty _____ for Halloween.

It took me 3 weeks and 74 trips to JoAnn Fabrics to complete.

spaceman11:20am

yeah, not funny words per se, but definitely fun to use in a legit sentence in the office environment . . . gotta get my friday kicks somehow

haven't used them both in the same sentence yet . . .

mb2111:21am

relevent = relevant

I blame the pain killers for my spelling errors today.

I recommend not using the word "slutty" anywhere around the word "wife".

Women are hung up on that word, for some reason.

It's the mixed signals our society sends them....

What's the old saying about the perfect wife? A gourmet in the kitchen, an intellectual in the parlor, and a whore in bed.

I think.

Hrm, that about sums up the fiance', so I guess I did well. Huzzah!

Looks like Jason did too, although he didn't say anything about her cooking.

teucer12:09pm

I bet most fiances and wives tend to get a bit crabby when the word "whore" or "slut" is applied publicly to them in any way.

Besides, I don't know if being described as a "whore in bed" is all that complimentary, if it means "faking enthusiasm while privately wishing it would all be over as quickly as possible so you can pick up the money off the dresser and leave."

ceci12:16pm

I don't think any woman likes to be called "whore" or "slut", reguardless of whether they happen to be a fiance or wife. One day we'll move away from these old, tired, classifications for women.

teucer12:22pm

Yeah, but wives and fiancees were particularly germain to the thread.

Sheesh.

Cat  url12:28pm
Feb 1

Wait, this didn't start out with anyone classifying women.
It was about inappropriate slutty vs. appropriately slutty.
And slutty behavior does not a slut make.
Of all the things to be offended by, this is the least of my worries.

"faking enthusiasm while privately wishing it would all be over as quickly as possible so you can pick up the money off the dresser and leave."

this differs from a wife how?

money on the dresser. duh.

Don't we get to see Alyssa in the dress?

I ain't paying $9 for no gas station car wash. Hell to the no, Bobby B! Maybe $9 for the ride-through kind if they towel me off at the end. For that much, I'd rather just pay the extra $3 to go to the Mermaid where they clean out the inside for me, too.

jderusha02:42pm

Erica, we did go back to the store, and Alyssa tried on the dress. She looked incredible.

Sadly, $450 for a dress is not in the DeBudget; but we found another really nice option at Stephanie's.
