Smick is right there is nothing wrong with being excited about things and having a rich fantasy life rather than being resigned to the grey monotony of adulthood.

Did he stick the tongue in though?

No, and I was careful to wipe off any lip gloss evidence.

Good to know, I was sure he was a gentleman.

I just bought this poster. My wife asked me to get it for her. It should be home when I get there.

Dammit you guys, stop being awesome. Sigh. Someday I will have an awesome husband who is an amalgam of all the gentlemanly awesomeness that I have witnessed on this board. And someday I hope to be half as rad as the badassed ladies of TOUAMB. It has been a wonderful time here, I must say.

Did ever tell you folks that at around 12 I had a poster of a teen heart throb of the day on my wall, and that I would kiss it when no one was around?  Is this... is this... okay?

I know a guy that owns an adult-themed store. He has a cushy, well-paying job at the airline, but he's thinking of giving it up early to devote more time to the store, which is his real moneymaker. It's located across the street from the main gate to a Naval Base, so it's pretty foolproof.

Anyway, he told us of a story about one of his regulars. He had bought a sex aid similar to that foot in the other thread, but a bit more "normal," whatever that means in this story. He came in later and told the pilot that the product was great. "In fact, I took it, and stuck it in a tennis shoe. Then I bought a Britney Spears poster, cut a slit between her legs, and laid it on top of the shoe on my bed. I fucked Britney Spears alllllll night."

So I think you're okay.

It's just like back in the old days, when you had more of a personal relationship with the fellow who ran the five-and-dime, when you went down to get your penny candy.

I should not be surprised....but that's the funniest/saddest thing I have heard today. The dude got it on with a tennis shoe, a poster,  and his imagination. That takes a strange combination of gumption and desperation. Is he one of the guys who wants to get a realdoll so he can tie it up, but can't pony up enough scratch to do it?

Golf, if there is ever a TOUAMBIE award for "Post I'm Sorriest I Read," that one definitely has my vote. And that's saying something.

Ah, yes, kissing a poster seems so innocent now.  Thank you for that.

utter disappointment: the posters arrived crumpled into a shoebox, with wrinkles which will have to be pressed out. They are currently sitting in an unpleasant pile on my floor.

I am going to choose to interpret this as some sort of commentary on Onstad's crumplebrain.

You should e-mail him.  Every time he's addressed a customer service type issue on the board he's seemed very concerned to make things right.

I am 90% sure I can flatten the posters out and they'll be fine-- but I am pretty set on emailing him to make sure this doesn't happen to anyone else.

My posters came folded in half within a Priority Mail rectangular box. The box had gotten rocked pretty hard by the post office, but the posters were fine. I'd shoot him an email just to let him know. I guess the free boxes are cheaper than buying mailing tubes.

Might I recommend some Gustave Courbet? Ours is right above our bed.

Y'know, in all seriousness, I wouldn't want a poster that'd been folded for delivery. Guess I'll go look for some Art Frahm stuff for the new workshop.

Jesus H. Christ on a pushbike, I'm retarded. I cannot seem to get anything communicated clearly, and I should not have used the term "folded" because that implies that they were creased heavily in half.  This communication SNAFU has been a recurring Problem in my life lately.

They weren't folded as in creased, they were just lightly bent in half and placed inside a larger box so that they weren't bent too terribly. They were much easier to smooth out than if they had been rolled tightly in a tube.
