I want my SLUT for Christmas! Put me down for a few extras, please.
I like my sluts of the male variety, tall, not fat, dark haired and blue eyes. Smart. Do you have a slut for me, Matt Potter?
A slew of sluts will be piping hot and bedside for Christmas!
Order me one too, will you please?
I'll make sure there's a slut under the Christmas tree for JLD. . .
MaryAnne, what type of slut for JLD? Gee, maybe we should start a new interview column: Name Your Slut Type... tee hee...
Piping hot and bedside for Christmas, says Matt Potter. gee, they almost sound like scones... with jam and clotted cream?
Definitely want one piping hot and somewhere under the Christmas tree! The jam and cream don't sound bad either!
Looks great, Matt!
I read that "Slut!" in translation of a Swedish folk song means "All done!" "The deadline is slut!" Leave the past alone. C'est fini!
Susan, Rest assured there will be only one slut in this house on Christmas eve. Although the arthritis in my knees might make getting under the tree somewhat difficult. . . .
@ Ann, how interesting that slut means all done.
@MaryAnne, I'm happy to hear that you are a one-slut household. For those knees, you might try... oh, never mind...
and Sally Reno ... and Pedro Ponce ...
Sally Reno should be able to dish up a pretty good slut.. Sally do you hear me?
and Nathaniel Tower ...
phew! That's the last!
