These Are a Few of My Favorite Things!
Know what I love about you, my loyal readers -- and commenters? You're at least as funny as I am. And when funny people read my blog, it means I can believe that I'm funny.
(You like how I do that? Turn it around and make it all about me?)
So here are some of my favorite comments from recent posts. These aren't the only ones that made me chuckle and snigger and guffaw. It's just a smattering.
(Those are fun words!)

Re: The car disintegrating around me so that I scooch to a halt on my smoking buttocks, legs splayed out in front of me, still holding the steering wheel, a la Wile E. Coyote.
"This whole entry was just an excuse for you to talk about your 'smoking buttocks,' wasn't it?"

"In 1986 I would have worn it with a black turtle neck, black mini skirt, cobalt blue tights, black socks and penny loafers with dimes in them. With a banana clip and big earrings. Oh! And cobalt blue eyeliner."

"I was in a band back in high school called 'The Salty Pirate Verb' -– we were a Queen cover band. Had to disband though. The football team kept beating us up at our own gigs. I don’t know why. They may have been uncomfortable with my sequined jumpsuit that highlighted my 'bulges.'"

Re: Me buying a pink fanny pack
"Wow, Wenchie, on the off-chance that you have British readers, do you know what 'fanny' means over there? *cringes*"

[Seriously, I have no idea what “fanny” means in England, so if someone could enlighten me…?]

Re: A list I made of Anne’s nice qualities, cuz I was talking about Heather waaaaaaay too much.
"I can't believe you would even think about writing about someone else, Wenchie. after all we've been through together! I mean, I read stuff! AND I know stuff about things!!! THINGS!!!!"

From: And I Thought MY Dog Was Weird
Re: My sister's dog eating frogs.
"Frogs, worms, rabbit turds (nature's Milkduds), dead birds (she'd eat live ones if she could catch one, which she tries to every day), grass (seriously, she grazes like a cow), and flies! She actually caught a fly in the house yesterday. It was very entertaining to watch and I was happy to be rid of the little bugger. At least she's good for something!"
~ My Sister
And of course, there are the inevitable comments from people who want me to loose weight, borrow money from them, or enlarge my PEN15, but they're just not funny.
Okay, the PEN15 ones are a little funny.

Uh-Oh! You just posted a flashback post. In TV terms that would equate to a "we've run out of ideas" episode and therefore a sign that you're about the jump the shark!
Tonight on a very special Pirate Wench. . .

I have plenty of ideas. I'm just lazy today.

my sources say "fanny" in the UK is "cooter" here in the US.
so, basically, my darling wenchie, should she ask for one of her beloved fanny packs while in the UK, may very well provoke a deep, mortified blush. or perhaps a smack?

"Fanny" is UK slang for VAGINA. God, that looks so majestic in caps.

the second British definition (noun)...
although i'd give my left nut to be physically present when you asked, say, muskrat_john to explain it to you.
Oh, wait. I don't have a left nut...

Fanny in Britspeak means one's womanly parts. Which is why the notion of a fanny back is coffee-snorting amusing to a Brit, no doubt.

ok, we've just established that your dearest fans all love vagina.
or, at least, love to type it.
vagina vagina vagina.
be sure to let us know what your web search terms are this week, in your stats page!

Ahh, so refreshing to see your readers are up on slang ;)
So next time you don your pink-fanny-pack, just remember.
*evil chuckle*

I'm so calling it my Vagina Pack from now on.
And it's somehow appropriate that it's pink...

Pink VAGINA Pack...sheer brilliance. I've decided to now use caps at all times when typing VAGINA and will use the word as often as possible. Heather & PW, I genuflect before you both for giving us a forum to express our appreciation of the VAGINA.
And Heather...can you believe you typed a sentence that says "your dearest friends all love VAGINA"!?!? That is why you are most excellent. It's SO TRUE too! I mean, I'm really a big fan of them.

"I'm really a big fan of them."
Aren't we all?
