So when Germans play baseball, and a batter is really hot, that means his runs batted in count for the other side?

I volunteered to go along, because having led a very sheltered life I’d never been into one of those shops, and thought it might be educational. It was ASTONISHINGLY educational. I had NO IDEA that it was possible, let alone legal, to do some of the things that this particular shop can equip you for, but I suppose that what informed consenting adults want to get up to is their own business. What really amazed me was exactly *how* educational it could be; the staff were lovely, no-nonsense people who clearly have dealt with clueless twerps before. They also have instructional DVDs for, well, EVERYTHING, from How To Use And Take Care Of Your Very Interesting Piece Of Glasswork, to How To Use And Maintain Your Strap-On And Harness (don’t want the leather perishing, it has to be cleaned and oiled just like saddlery), Proper Safe Use Of A Particular Battery-Powered Item, the list was endless. One of the glassware items was actually quite sculpturally beautiful, in blue and green glass, and if it hadn’t cost so much I might’ve bought it to use as a paperweight on my desk at work. (Then I could go “Aha!” at anyone who appeared to recognise what it was…) I was intrigued by the blow-up man dolls, and considered bringing one home for further study, but decided that I didn’t want my husband to feel like I was commenting on him. Or, worse, I didn’t want him asking if the doll could join us for a threesome.

Gotta watch that in German; saying “I feel hot” means “The temperature is too high for me”, whereas saying “I am hot” means, well, I bat for the other team, as it were.

When visiting an adult entertainment shop (I was accompanying a workmate who was shopping for items for a hen’s night pass-the-parcel game) I was truly astonished to see the number of, er, items made out of glass. “Isn’t it a bit dangerous?” I asked, but no, apparently not. When you buy such an item, you get a little DVD that teaches you how to look after it. I wonder if the tap has watched the DVD?

Hope I don’t see you tomorrow! (Nothing personal, I just vaguely recall that those hangovers where I had also, say, fallen out a window (or fallen onto someone’s fist a few times, or wrecked a car, etc., besides getting drunk, made me none too pleasant company.)

There are many meanings of the word, hot, and for some of the meanings, some of us like it very hot indeed.

Yes, I had this unusual summer gig, my second trip through graduate school, in an experimental program where I was teaching probability to third and fourth graders. The first day I told them I was in school, too, and so one of the kids raised his hand and asked what grade I was in. Rather than explain the whole system of post-secondary education, I did some quick mental addition and said, “The 24th.” Their eyes all got real wide, whether out of awe or terror I couldn’t say. I did another year after that, and so if we count my current on-line studies, I am now beginning the 27th grade. But the 24th was where I ran into multivariate analysis, where you have more than one output variable in a study as well as multiple input variables, so your results are in three-dimensional matrices, which rather taxed my powers of analysis to comprehend. Plus the program the prof insisted we use was a major pain in the arse, the most user-unfriendly program I ever ran into, where a line of code might consist of 27 spaces followed by a period, 11 more spaces and a 3, etc., and one space off made the whole thing run wrong. I got SO tired of counting spaces…

I often get complimented on my nice round glass.

By: JohnB

It’s just very strict about safe secks. In fact, I think the glass must be sterilized first, and you must wear latex gloves.

Doesn’t say whether the glass needs to be hot or cold.

Perhaps Chihuly can do something with this one.

It needs to be pleased without being touched.
Then only with glass.

Some get pleasure by providing services to others. It pleases this tap and its boiler to provide hot water for your glass of tea or soup. It truly feels sorry if its hot water injures you in any way.
