I have no desire to cover it in Pepto Bismol rubber either. Sometimes the price of beauty is too high.

Is it? Because that doesn’t look the least bit appetizing to me. I need my meat to bun ratio a lot lower than this.

Would duct tape work just as well?

I saw this remarkably accurate John Wayne doll in an antique store the other day and was ready to lambaste the seller for spelling effigy incorrectly…. until I did some research and discovered Effanbee is a company that produces collectible dolls. It’s a good thing my husband didn’t see it. I don’t need that horror staring me down in the man cave bar.

I see your dogs playing poker velvet wall hanging and raise you one toothless, cigar smoking set of gambling scallops.
My money’s on the straight flush mollusk.

John Wayne was my least favorite ‘actor’….until Donald Trump played a President. 😉

I worked as a waitress in college in the midwest and I can confirm those awful breaded pork tenderloins were popular– and totally disgusting. 🤢

There needs to be a sign ‘Do not break glass, not even in emergency.’ Pretty much all these things can go in little glass boxes with warning signs.

So……duct tape does work just as well. Yes I tired it and remarkably it held the entire night. It had to try something, I was wearing a backless dress and it worked for me.

I was at a company Christmas party years ago, when I was less old but no less bold. The wife of a friend was sitting across the table in a silver strapless dress, cut low in the back. Her incredible cleavage compelled me to ask how she was getting that look. She said she found these stick-on cups that you push under your man distractors and, well, stick on. For all the awkwardness, we could have been talking about snow tires. The bruise where Cathy punched me on the arm went away in a week or so but the memory goes on forever.

And hey, some of these women perform magic feats of engineering, I’m sure she appreciated the recognition.

You obviously put the scallops playing poker in the wrong post. Everyone should want one of those on their coffee table…

The scary part on those scallop thingy was that they wanted $32.50. It lacks a $32.50 WOW factor, but I can clearly hear the $5.00 “tacky” screaming at me.

It did seem to be more of a Goodwill find than antique store ware.

I’ll vouch for the legitimacy of the pork tenderloin sandwich, too … and yes, the tenderloin is always bigger than the bun, but not by that kind of margin. Culver’s makes a pretty good one.

Even with a slightly bigger bun it doesn’t really interest me.

Not only is the breaded pork tenderloin a classic in the Midwest, it is against the law to disparage it.

That face mask comes in different colors. I guess it is cooling and does work but it’s a bit expensive in my opinion and I didn’t see it in Purple.

I collected Effenbee dolls as a kid – their Countries of the World (or something like that) collection. The dolls were dressed up in their native costumes – mostly European. I wonder if that’s where the travel bug first infected me…
