#2 #1 "Oh my goodness, I seem to have dropped my garter!..."

heh Rantburg Service: I'll lend Joi a silk pair and help her with the fit and such!

note to self; I better see TW quick and buy a pair of Silkies from the Rantburg Store first.

#3 "Oh my goodness, I seem to have dropped my garter!..."

I can think of a few places I would like to look for it.

#6 But your wife is the sexier of the two, right, JASPo'D?

Especially if she reads Rantburg.... ;-p

#7 My wife NEVER looked like that. She was a redhead.

(We'll celebrate #42 in two weeks, and I've NEVER regretted a minute of it. She doesn't read Rantburg, either.)

#8 She looks like no one I've ever dated. Maybe if you mix and match pieces, but that's kinda sick.

It's cultural. In a certain other culture you'd have been titillated by seeing just the bridge of her nose and one eye. "What we're fighting for," as the girly posters used to say, is the literal truth -- our freedom to see and be seen, full members of the world. Fred's little daily reminder that this, too, would be taken from us by those who seek to conquer.

RD dear, I'm quite, quite sure you'll be able to handle that on your own.

#13 TW, I always appreciate your "in-spades" wisdom.
Even if someone may see your contribution to a betterment of mankind as not spectacular, let it be known that you are leaving a shiny trail.

... sounds like an obit.... ;-)
I mean, hope that you'd continue, unimpemded.

#14 twobyfour, I'd honoured to have that as my obituary. The odds are high, however, that I'm going to live to 120 or so, at the rate I'm going, so I'd appreciate if you'd keep the thought safe until then. Apparently not dying is a developed habit as well as a genetic likelihood, so my odds are much increased beyond likely, which I find a comfort, as I haven't died even once, yet. Nonetheless, I just asked trailing daughter #1, who promises to let Rantburg know if I should experience low-probability statistics. So you needn't worry, 'k?

#15 Oh Absolutely, My spirited long legged gorgeous wife is the sexiest woman in the world.

Joi Lansing and her could be twins.

How do I tell her that without the "How do you know what Joi Lansing looks like?" and getting her to believe I saw her picture on a politics and world affairs website.......

I guess there are somethings that have to be kept close to the heart.

#16 Show Mrs. JASPoD the Defender-Scimitar& Times-Picayune, dear Junior Assistant Sock Puppet of Doom. Fred's article sub-headlines are a stitch, and being compared to what nowadays is a relatively innocent picture of a lovely olden days movie starlet certainly wouldn't ruffle my feathers. Besides, your original comment was utterly charming, I thought... and wouldn't you rather the stunningly beautiful Mrs. JASPoD knows you're hanging out at a world affairs blog owned by a retired military intelligence analyst, or that she thought you were going to girly sites of the kind the trailing daughters won't explain to me?

#17 Oh, and I just showed the DS&TP to Mr. Wife, and he says to show/send her the link, too. Of course, he'll be fifty in a few years, and a corporate middle-manager who's spent entirely too many years of our marriage in various somewhat exotic parts of the world without me, so his advice may not apply to your situation.

#18 And to think I was born in Lansing (MI that is)
