Alrighty.
So... it was The Christmas Stripper G-String, technically. But that sounds all dirty to me. So for the sake of my delicate sensibilites I'm gonna continue to call it The Christmas Thong. But Paslea Pooh is correct... it was INDEED a G-string. Fit for a pole-dancer. A Christmas Northpole Dancer. Ahhh. I'm getting carried away here. So... onwards:
Well. My ever-thoughtful Kind Cruel General had bought Me(l) a
Festive Christmas Stripper Thong. Which can be handily hung on a tree. Too. The hilarity began with the screaming. At the sight of the thong. Which caused a chain reaction of sorts. More screaming, and laughing, pointing, cursing, the poor old dog (named Penny... now deceased) started shaking and nearly wet the carpet and my beautiful Bride Mellyman took off for the kitchen. To get out of Dodge. And get more coffee. Most likely with whiskey in it.
As with most happyhaunt holiday festivities... Christmas at West Point is a busy Gong Show. It's like an Open House... with an open bar. Friends, family, neighbours etc. in and out. All day long. Phone calls, pets, food, music and the occasional plugging of a toilet. Usually by Calvin. And this one was particularily fun. For me. Because everyone asks "What did you get for Christmas?". And I was not ONLY going to tell everyone that The General had given me a
Christmas Stripper Thong but I was, also, going to wear it. To SHOW off my lovely gift. And really stick it to The General. But, please, this is all in fun. This is the way our wonderful, twisted dynamic works. Me and The General. And... TRUST ME here... I get back as much as I give. Perhaps MORE. Truth be told.
So I spent the rest of the day wearing the THONG and visiting with family and friends. I wore it in different ways. I would wander into a room where The General was talking with someone, or cooking or relaxing... with the THONG on. On my head like a disco headband. Sticking out of my pocket. Wrapped around my wrist. Tied on the poor old dog's collar. Draped across the diningroom table centrepiece. Placed strategically in the Nativity Scene under the tree. Or wearing it properly... in the right place... but OVER my clothes instead of UNDER. But the best... THE BEST... three places. Which STILL make me giggle when I recall them were:
1. Under The General's napkin on her plate at dinner.
2. On my head like a Pirate's Eyepatch. Arrrrggghhhh!!!!
3. Tied around my upper thigh like Chachi from Happy Days.
Haaaaaaaaaa Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa Haaaaaaaaaaa!!! Whew!!! The memory just caused some things to function, here, and others to stop functioning.
Help me.
MEDIC!!!!
There. The End. That's all folks!!!
Now I gotta run and do some things in my real life. Groceries. Get the kids from school. Haircut for Bama. Bring a bundt cake to ZZUB's pitbull of a secretary as a peace offering. Even though I REALLY don't like her.
Later, Mel.
