Re: "She stops stocking yogurt"

I would also like to register my distaste of the evidently highly productive technique of taking any common noun or adjective and appending "play" to convey that something sexual is intended.

Somehow I doubt this is precisely what's going on with the term "oral-sex play."

That's right, somehow "play" and "job" become synonymous in this context. Never thought about it that way before. One for Richard Lederer!

"She stops stocking yogurt"

A stocking would be useful for draining yogurt to make yogurt cheese with - after which, you can use it to club the target of your affection into yougurty submission.

that is admittedly more difficult than mixing powdered sugar into butter, but isn't it occasionally worth the extra effort?

You could just rub them all over with butter and then salt them.

But someone worried that melting chocolate might render it too hot to touch probably hasn't a whole lot of baking experience, I suppose.

Nor a great deal of experience with S&M either. They should consider chocolate syrup, which won't harden and rip out tiny body hairs.

appending "play" to convey that something sexual is intended.

Better than 'felch' you must admit.

4: so, "rim play"?

Obviously "rim play" would be a collection of activities of which rimjobs might be one.

Other candidates:

Ricola play
Iliac crest play
Lobe play
Skull play
Paint play
Light bulb play
Osmotic play
A play
Denim play
Loose leaf tea play

Egg yolk play seems unorthodox but effective. Also, oyster play.

10: And live prawns! I saw that movie at fifteen or sixteen with a non-romantic male friend, and was both seriously intrigued by that scene, and somewhat wistful about not having seen it with someone I was dating. Conversation after the movie was somewhat awkward.

It strikes me that most of the author's questions could be asked without letting on that the intent was sexual. (Just as I could write this comment without letting you know that I am doing so from the toilet.) That is, she could just say, "I want some frosting that isn't too sweet," and not let on that she was hoping to engage in frosting play.

Could it be that the goal of this piece was not just information, but also, titillation?

Any of these, if they occurred as part of what subsequently became a political sex scandal, could then be further modified with '-gate'.

This youtube comment to the Black Kids' "I'm Not Going To Teach Your Boyfriend," is pretty nice. The writer is responding to a series of commenters who are anxious because the song, which is sung by a male vocalist, contains the lyric, "you are the girl I've been dreaming of ever since I was a little girl."

Well, everyone technically starts out as "girl" when they are a fetus in the mother's womb. I take it as a comment on the fact that the girl he's yearning for is like the dream chick he's been yearning for since, quite literally, all of his life.

re: 9, 10 and 13

Shortly after I saw that, I saw his 'Minbo no Onna', aka Anti-Gangster Lady in which a hotel menaced by Yakuza hires a middle-aged women to get rid of them. One of my favourites, ever, and completely impossible to find on DVD [I've tried].

Or better yet, a good stiff ganache.

Speaking of icing, if Obama wins, watching Republicans knife each other after this election will be the delicious icing on the victory cake. Fred Barnes says Nicole Wallace is to blame for buying all those clothes for Palin and a McCain adviser tells Mike Allen that Palin is "a whack job."

I was just wondering whether any children of slaves had voted - I remember hearing someone saying during Katrina that this was a hell of a way to treat the children of slaves, and thinking at first that it was a metaphorical way of saying "the descendants of slaves", before working out to my surprise that it was actually perfectly possible that there were some children of slaves actually living in New Orleans.

On the subject of slavery -
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/7692396.stm

A West African court has found Niger's government guilty of failing to protect a woman from slavery in a landmark case for the region. The court found in favour of Hadijatou Mani, who says she was sold aged 12 and made to work for 10 years

Mani vs. Government of Niger could be the new Summerset's Case...

good day everyone. I'm actually into shoes and I was digging allowing for regarding that particular make. The prices as regards the velcros are all over 340 bucks everwhere. But completely I found this area selling them for half price. I absolutely love those prada shoes for man. I will probably purchase them.
