In more interesting news, when I was growing up we called it a "snuggie."

Si, man; the vubbleyew is uncommon in Hebrew, see man. "Snuggie" sounds like a diaper (pertinent tangent: during my first attempt at diapering little Mini-Bone, I gave him a rather severe wedgie, according to a displeased Mrs. T-B.). Didn't you vote in the poll, nu man?

I arrived home yesterday and have so far performed my husbandry duties and administered two wedgies but will finish the quota I have set for me before I leave this Friday.
Excellent, si man. Just tonight, I administered a wedgie that even Mrs. T-B. admitted was a winner, whee man. I am now under obligation to accompany her to Victoria's Secret to replace what was irreparably damaged, sigh man.

Zero chance, sigh man, especially when they flash their brown puppy-dog eyes and say "Sometimes, husbands take their wives to Victoria's Secret to buy them some..."

I knew that the ring was irrevocably inserted in my nose when, shortly after marriage, I found myself standing in a long checkout line at V.'s Secret with BOTH hands filled with on-sale women's underwear, die man.

The good news is that Mrs. T-B. seems to have a newfound respect for moi, even 24+ hours after the championship-grade wedgie, si man.
