I have created a sleuth miracle!

IT IS THE UNHIJACKABLE THREAD!

Go ahead and try, but this thread is about anything and nothing, all at the the same time!

This is the place where Al can talk about world domination, Crunch can worship David Hasselhoff, SS can try and find even more complicated questions for his pub quizzes, Nikkie can advertise for Tim Tams, cfm can troll for more Sharpie victims, JR can beg for the chance to win Bobo back, and bedazzling can be a way of life!

So go off, rant and rave, talk about anything, i don't care, I just wanted to see my avatar on the page (when its actually me anyways)

So go ahead, I dare you all to try and hijack me :)

The bathing suit fit all right, but unfortunately it only fit those bits of me willing to stay inside it. The rest of me oozed out rebelliously from top, bottom and sides. I looked like a lump of play dough wearing undersize cling wrap.

As I tried to work out where all those extra bits come from, the pre-pubescent salesgirl popped her head through the curtains "Oh, there YOU are!" she said, admiring the bathing suit. I replied that I wasn't so sure this suit would work and asked what else she had to show me.

I tried on a cream crinkled one that made me look like a lump of masking tape, and a floral two piece which gave the appearance of an oversize napkin in a serviette ring. I struggled into leopard skin pieces with a ragged frill and came out looking like Tarzan's Jane on a bad day. I tried a black number with a midriff and looked like a jellyfish in mourning. I tried on a bright pink pair with such a highcut leg I thought I would have to wax my eyebrows to wear them. Finally I found a costume that fitted. A two piece affair with shorts-style bottoms and a halter top. It was cheap, comfortable and bulge-friendly, so I bought it.

When I got home I read the label which said "Material may become transparent in water," but I'm determined to wear it anyway.

Crunchputty: a couple of pages ago, he mentioned a snow storm during which he was forced to wear leggings. Who'd 've thunk it..but he was actually ahead of this time! Listen to this:

"Milan - Now I know there are many out there who will think I have lost it when I write that a key, new must-have for men this coming fall will be a pair of leggings to be worn outside, not just in, the house, but that was the big message at the debut Marni men's runway show this morning in Milan.

Leggings made of microfiber cotton and wool, shown in violet, forest green and Milan fog gray, all of them with stirrup straps, except of course for a couple of them cut above the knee, accompanied half the looks in this poetic, polished and unexpected collection."

We all knew it and now the world knows it too: the man is a revolutionary!

Oh, gosh to all o' ya! Hey! I'm back, but I may die laughing at this stuff!

I was driving to work this morning and heard something that just cracked me up (but take that with a grain of salt..I am easily amused)

They were running down the words of the year and these two came up. See if you can tell me what these mean, sleuthians:

Australian Word of the Year: Muffin Top

U.S. Word of the Year: Whale Tail

can u figure it out?

Jan-26-2007 12:22

Unfortunately I know what both of those words mean, and what the corresponding fashion looks like.
