Finally! A Festivus for the rest of us.

I know men (plural!) who lack, on average, three outta four of the aforementioned articles. If I have to:
a. put my dirty trash into my clean purse,
b. tote said trash across the den, or
c. ask for assistance
you ain't gettin' no second date.

Hear hear, jennarenn!! Why can't guys keep their gorram bathrooms properly stocked?!**
**(In the interest of full disclosure, it should be said that I ended up marrying a guy like that.)

I say you give him his own bathroom and don't stock it.
Wait...that probably won't bother him. ;-)

I don't want to imagine chained_bear as married. I want to imagine her dragging men back to her lair, devouring them with a bottle of ketchup in one hand a thesaurus in the other, then heading out to root around in the forest for elusive wild testicles.

reesetee commented on the word festivus
Haha! That's chained_bear, all right. But it's mustard, not ketchup, bilby. French's yellow mustard. Nothing else will do.

You're right. I'm lousy at observing ungulates closely when they're going condimental.

Running to check...
By the bathroom criteria, I would warrant a second date! Of course, I'd probably say or do something terrible to offend her, but at least I would have been prepared.

chained_bear commented on the word festivus
Well... actually... that's exactly what happened, bilby.
Only reesetee is right: it's yellow mustard. None of that Grey Poupon shit.

reesetee commented on the word festivus
Right. Elusive wild testicles are very good with yellow mustard.
