Biffle evolves again

Yes, once again the (in)famous Biffle has found a new career choice. He's now offering services as a personal masseur. or, to put it bluntly, a vibrator! Available too, in two convenient sizes, as well as various accessories. Bondage Biffle. Parisian Biffle (in pink!).

I think certain fans of Biffle may need to look into expanding the collection.

BTW, Sparky, do I have your new address???

Screwy Oklahoma

This is not late December weather. Yesterday, the 26th of December, we had all the windows open, and the screens in, and the fan on. It was F***in' HOT. Ok, 73 degrees is not really hot, but come on. It was still 70 when I called my parents at 8 pm. My parents are in KEY WEST and they said they were only at 78! All my friends in various parts of the country are under snow. Rockford has at least a foot. I want some snow. Instead I'm chatting to my parents whilst sitting on our back porch wearing only sweatpants, no shirt.

We had a doozy of a rainstorm last night. Wake-you-up-out-of-a-sound-sleep thunderstorm.
This morning is cooler, especially with the window still open. Maybe cool spring or summer morning cool. The kind where you cuddle up under the second blanket and delay getting out of bed as long as you can, before you have to put on the slippers and hurry off to the hot shower. But you know it's gonna be a hot summer day so you don't worry about the morning chill, or think twice about leaving the window open. Yeah, that sort of morning.

Shortly before we left Rockford, Wife got addicted to the bar shuffleboard. You know the tables that are 10 or so feet long and covered with sand to make the pucks glide better. Wife has been seeing them in catalogs and really wants one. So, for Christmas, I found her a shuffleboard table, or rather a tabletop shuffleboard. One of the many, many, many catalogs we get is Bits and Pieces. A fun catalog of puzzles, games and things. They had a tabletop version. So I went ahead, hid the catalog, and ordered it. I did the obligatory shipping to work so I can bring it out at the last minute (Wife has NO patience and is very much into instant gratification). She had no idea, and loves it. We played for about 3 hours last night.

Well, happy winter to all my readers. I'm gonna go work on my tan. (ok, not really, you know me too well)

the Obligatory

Merry Christmakwanzukkah-al Eid.

"HEY you left out Solstice"

ah, never mind. Happy Thursday.

I'm doing a bit better this Christmas. Not as Scroogelike, as much of a Humbug. But I'm actually trying, 'cause the Wife likes Christmas. Well, not the Christian celebration, but more the traditional 'memory of Christmases past' sort of thing. She's actually more into Solstice. Which is cool with me. I can get more into that than Christmas. Although the big debate now is What Solstice means. Wife, as well as mainstream media and conventional wisdom, says that Solstice is the first day of Winter. I think that, since it's when the days are shortest, and that afterwards, days get longer again, that it's actually MID-winter, half way to spring. She even talked me into letting us open one gift on Solstice night. Maybe we'll do it that way next year, we'll see. The 24th/25th. is such a dead time otherwise, what'll we do, go out for Chinese and a movie?

There are other ways that wife's attitude begins to annoy me. The whole presents thing. Not so much between us, but from others. We don't do much outside gifting. Mostly just parents. Can't really afford to do much else, shipping costs etc. But this year, for the first time, I got a gift from the Director at work, the head of the department. A $25 Barnes and Noble card and a tin of cookies. Kinda cool, and Barnes and Noble is ALWAYS good. Wife started grousing about the size of it. "Hey," I said, "It's $25 more than we had before, and more than we got last year, so don't knock it." She just think I deserve more. Well, hell, who doesn't, but I'd rather see it in my paycheck. Failing that, I'll take what I can get. I'll just get something for me. She can have the shortbreads.

Our big gift to ourselves is a Wii. It's actually turning theraputic. Wife is getting more exercise, and using her arms a lot more than she used to. I almost got her a Wii game for christmas, but decided on DVDs instead. When we bought it, we got the Wii Sports and the Wii Play games. One has the bowling and tennis and baseball, etc, and the other has ping-pong, shooting (reminiscent of the old 'Duck Hunt' but without the dog), cow riding, and billiards. Wife wants the StarWars Light Sabre duels game but I'm waiting for the price to drop a bit first, if that ever happens.

Last night we tried a new dinner: mussels. Turned out pretty good. Even I was impressed. Sautee garlic and onion minces in a pot. Add wine, cream, butter, and the mussels and boil for 15 minutes. Serve with crusty bread. Really nice. Only had one mussel that didn't want to come out to play. Wife thinks this is a new Christmas eve tradition for us.

Anyway, I hope everybody is safe and healthy. And warm, since evidently, Oklahoma is the only place in the country that is NOT snowbound. We're expecting 70 degrees here today. Needless to say, no snow, no ice, just wind.
