And I read this limerick on Jay Nordlinger's most recent Impromptu's. I actually laughed out loud when I finished it:
There once was a poet named Todd
Whose meter was seriously flawed.
His limericks would tend
To come to an end
Suddenly.

Seriously, is this the most manly bedskirt you could find?
No wonder you connect so well with gay men.
If you're going to remain heterosexual and buy a a bedskirt it needs to have skulls and guitars- with out pleats. It's the only way to find redemption-
Either that or just cover your box springs with an extra large white sheet so it's a make-shift bedskirt- and totally not gay.
I didn't bother trying to find a "manly" bedskirt. Is there any combination of words that would ever lessen the impact of the noun bedskirt itself?
I think what might be more important is changing the word itself, maybe something like box-skin, box-condom, or bedkilt. Something that implies something about the fact that I have male genitalia, and don't use it in some distorted way.
i second the notion that that picture couldn't be more gay. you should have just scribbled a bed and with lots of scratchy arrows, pointed to the area in which the bedskirt is located.
I do agree that the word bedskirt (and throw pillows as well) were invented by gay men.
Well done, I wouldn't have spelled chintzy right without first spellchecking it.
