AliceTheOwl Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER YEARS ago, my parents bought me a cedar trunk for my birthday. It was very nicely carved, finished, very smooth and pretty. One day, there was a mass moving party, to help me and Josh move out of our burned apartment, and help our future roommates get all of their things into the moving van. It involved me, Josh, Ben, Wolf, Ben's parents (Barbara and Jim), Ben's brother Brandon, one of Brandon's friends and, at one point, my sister and some friends of hers. While Barbara was helping me move the cedar trunk, she remarked, "Nice chest!" I replied, "Yeah, it is nice. I got it from my parents, for my birthday. It's where I keep my sweaters." L.

Cancer Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER I think it is. It did overtake the late, lamented catsuit thread before the latter was expunged a few months back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliceTheOwl Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER No love for the story about Barbara admiring my chest? Hm. I guess you had to be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Marcus Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Oh? . . . Oh! Chest! Hee hee hee . . . It's still a tradition in these parts to give girls a bride's chest. She's apparently meant to fill it with linen in the years before her marriage. Is your chest something like that?

AliceTheOwl Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Yes, very much like that. The above exchange occurred while we were moving things into the van, and two people, Barbara's son and his friend, were sitting around the corner, listening. They both had to clap hands over their mouths to keep from laughing aloud when they heard the exchange. They told me what I'd said over a late lunch. At which point, I turned scarlet, cracked up, then added on further entendres: "Yeah, it's nice and big and smooth, isn't it? The cat likes to sit on it sometimes."

AliceTheOwl Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Oh, yes. I can see where you'd've gotten that. I was trying to make the distinction, so you'd know early on that I was talking about a large wooden, hinged box, rectangular in shape.

AliceTheOwl Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Ah. I think I'm getting them kind of piecemeal, actually. This isn't the sort of thing I have a lot of control over at the moment. I'm relying on the kindness of generous friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
