If You Say So...

"This is not something that just the lunatic fringe does."

"The Iraq war...was kind of a boom for our company."
-Steve Rhodes, president of Sinulate Entertainment

I'm trying to figure out exactly how the war has been a "boom" for the company.

Is that goat Jordanian or Danish?

A field dubbed "teledildonics" already allows people at two remote computers to manipulate electronic devices such as a vibrator at the other end for sexual purposes.

I just don't know what to say, really.

Would that make the repairman a 'teledildonictechnician'?

I'm assuming the boom is in growth between separated couples...? Sailors on different ships...?


Austrian, Jeff. The goatherder's lonely, ohdilaydeedoo.

I wonder if Tipper invented the "teledildos" to go with Al's internet?

That is a thought truly too awful to entertain.

Wasn't one of the phone companies' slogan "Reach Out And Touch Someone?"

I hope that they have the computers in individual, sound proofed rooms.

NO WAR FOR REMOTE CONTROL DILDOES!

BUSH LIED! ONAN DIED!

(Does the plural of 'dildo' have an 'e' in it...?)

Posted by: tree hugging sister at April 19, 2006 10:47 AM

Yep, just like 'potatoe'

Posted by: Mr. Bingley at April 19, 2006 10:52 AM

Just so you know, the plural of potato is spelled with an e. Oh, and "potatoe" is an acceptable spelling; Quayle's actual mistake was in attempting to correct and already correct (and preferred) spelling.

Posted by: Ken Summers at April 19, 2006 12:05 PM

Just checking.

Correct and already correct = overcorrecting?

Posted by: tree hugging sister at April 19, 2006 12:15 PM

zackly

Posted by: Ken Summers at April 19, 2006 12:51 PM

So, Ken, is the plural of "goat" spelled "goate", or is it spelled "Summers"?

Posted by: The_Real_JeffS at April 19, 2006 01:42 PM

Actually, "potatoe" is an archaic spelling. NOT a correct spelling.
Via Wikipedia
"The Oxford English Dictionary lists potatoe as a variant form, the most recent usage cited being from 1880: "She found the parson in his garden..making a potatoe pie for the winter." However, in modern English it is considered a misspelling, since although the English plural, potatoes, is spelled with an "e", the singular is not, and no dictionary considers potatoe to be an acceptable modern spelling."
