It is pretty tame. But so close to Christmas I worry that Jesus might be watching – he could tell Santa about my naughtiness and I will be left with nothing but a lump of coal and a satsuma in my stocking!

Depends on the stockings, I guess.

I shall leave out my very best pair, just in case. To make doubley sure – I’ll be wearing them.

One can only imagine what your very best pair of stockings actually is! Best at what? Best to who?

The best ones for enticing a magical elderly man with a bulging sack, of course!

Okay I need a shower.

I knew I’d hit the gutter eventually.

That’s what it’s there for.

Bwahahaha!
I can’t believe you blogged this. Too funny.
The cat’s ass is a huuuuuge compliment, by the way. And as we have no other voters, obviously I am right.
I think it’s a legit compliment! In the UK we say ‘the cat’s pajamas’, which is a bit nicer than ‘ass’. Either way – you are very worthy of this high accolade, I assure you.
I have heard of the cats pajamas. I think I saw it when they first started changing movies from black-and-white to color, or no wait maybe it was when they first added sound to them. So how far back are we going for these references?
I trust you though Lucy. You won’t steer me wrong, I’m sure.
I think we have had a few conversations worthy of copy/pasting into a blog. I seem to remember a couple during the time I was going through Poggi that nearly killed me.
The cat’s ass and the bee’s knees!
Bees knees, I had heard of. Cats ass, no.
Oh yes… a phrase we always used in my family. So, for around 60 years…
Which one, though?
Both!
Ha! Okay.
I can confirm the ‘bees knees’ – a favourite expression of my nan!
Grannie praise. Am I that old?
Not old – just experienced 😉
Experienced. Now I’ve lost track of the entire conversation. What were we talking about? Is it getting warm in here?
This is a regular feature of our conversations. Not complaining.
Pfft. This is tame for Lucy.

And I know you would never steer me wrong
This was the best Christmas present ever. I’m still laughing!
Good. Merry Christmas.
This was way cheaper than mailing you another T-shirt. Who has $40 laying around for the Canadian postage?
Lmao. No one.
Damn straight. I hope you use that hairbrush every day. It cost me a fortune to send it to you.
Hehe. I do. I use it every day. I hope you didn’t get charged extra for the amount of hair that came with it.
Well I wasn’t going to clean it. Paying $1 million to send a hairbrush to Prince Edward Island was enough.
The Bare Naked Ladies would have made a hair shirt with all that hair.
It’s the thought that counts.
And my thought was: why am I mailing this hairbrush to Canada when it costs a bazillion dollars
…when you could be making a hair shirt for free?
Yeah, that.
Canadian postage sucks a dick…not a compliment, in case you were confused.
Ha!! Yeah, good to clarify that, I guess.
What would be absolutely hilarious would be if I had copy and pasted the whole conversation. Jennys Messenger convos are a scream.

It is a much-used expression still, I’ll have you know! If you don’t believe me, ask my mum. She would never lie to you, Daniel.
Okay. I’ll trust mum.
I think we have had a few conversations worthy of copy/pasting into a blog. I seem to remember a couple during the time I was going through Poggi that nearly killed me.
Ha. No doubt. You’re funny.
Well, hells bells! That’s a new one for me. But nope wouldn’t care for it. LOL
My dad used to say Hells bells all the time! Well, not all the time – just when we were in trouble.
🙂
Never heard this one – but then I’m English. Over here we say: the cat’s whiskers or the dog’s bollo**s! So I suppose it could be right!
Geez.
At least she only called me a cat’s butt and not a dog’s balls.
I’ve not heard that expression. I will say I have two cats and their asses are things I try to avoid. Silly Canadians.
Yes. Right.
Cat’s ass = not a compliment.
