Here you go. My Shelf of Shame. Why do I call it that? Because it is a rather inclusive compendium of the things my fellow bloggers have gifted me with. Wonderful stuff. And I say shame because I have never reciprocated at that level. Shame, shame on me. But I can give you the blow by blow:
Monkeys: I bought the cymbal clapping thing, and named him Robbie at Jekyll, but he belongs in the tribe. The cocoanut head monkey? Some poor lass gave it to me, and she must remesmerize her name in my comments. I forgets! Think she was hot, though. Are you, hon? History here. Don't be afraid.
And of course the Curious George lunchbox from Eric. Sa-fucking-weet! Ever so often I take the George box to work with a hard on and an attitude. Banana inside. George would want it that way. Eric would want it that way.
Hats: See the beautiful fedora from Elisson? Mother, Mary, and Joseph as the Romanists say. Or Oy Vey! as Elisson would say. Dat are fine hat! I am almost as sexy as Elisson wearing it. I do pose about the Velocihovel with it on, sometimes in vigoro, if you know what I mean. Damn, I am a dashing figure!
The straw thing I came staggering out of a bodega on Bourbon Street wearing. Wanted a pack of smokes, came out with a hat. I was tore the fark down. But did I look hot in it? Bet your fucking bippy.
Travel goodies: I ate, well threw up the Marmite Chrissy gave me, but it is there in heart. And that Scottish snuff? Weird. I think my brother gave it to me, but if not Chrissy, I am so bad. Showed you the MRI, though. Looks terminal, don't it?
Birthday goodies: Well, the wonderful leatherclad hip flask Kelley gave me. Something about Kelley and black leather gets me all a whompus. Indeed! She sweet to me.
Unlike you people! Step up to the plate. I covet things like leather clad flasks.
The Rockin Rabbit. This is some type of egregious sex toy. Egregious in that no man is necessary. The Bride bought this because I kept disappearing on blogmeets. I like it. Kind of. Takes the pressure off me, but then there is the whole replacement issue. I think the Rockin Rabbit has my Social Security Number and my game. Fucker!
Key: There has to be a whole section devoted to Key, because she is a gifter to people. When I first met her she had like 3 foster children, a totally giving soul. And I think she looks at me that way. An unbathed retard, spawn of methamphetamine addicts, who must be freshified, made acceptable for decent society. A challenge. And I would agree. Although my Spanglish is pretty friggin decent!
Howsomever: witness the crowning glory of my Key Blogouvre: the Pimphat, as birthday present. Add one part voodoo doll in New Orleans because I was bitching about my boss, a doo-rag you can't see, a Zippo lighter for my birthday, and a faux testicle I won in a contest. Slam dunk! Key wins the prize. I have no idea what it is, but the point obtains.
Did I mention my cowbell? Leslie gave me a cowbell and shirt! And she in Chicago tonight at a blogmeet, otherwise we would be discussing said bell in a hot tub, I reckon. Hit's clain, I say.
I also have a small purple devil hanging from my rear view mirror that Maeve gave me. It has a double jointed silver cock, the more to bring the dry cleaner closer. I swear! That a strange tale.
And so: Shame? Oh yes. I can never repay this largesse. My peeps are too good to me. And I appreciate it. As Mickey Rourke said in barfly, To All My Friends!!!
Update: Ach! Elisson reminds me I forgot to mention the Blown Rectum Spidum Yabu gave me that led to those misunderstandings of the liberties of breaking left. I had it hanging below the pimp hat, but I must have posted the wrong pic. Probably deserves a post of its own, though.
Update 2: the pic is fixed. Long live the Blown Rectum Spidum.
... Dude.... you owe me.....
Posted by: Eric at July 15, 2006 10:44 PMWhat can I say? You're fun to buy for. I buy Priss $300 worth of clothes from Limited Too, and she smiles and says, "Thanks Mom!"
But buy you anything that can be displayed on your head, and voila...Velocigiddiness! A sentiment that will put little girl's glee to shame. (If only I'd known that all I had to do was buy a $2 doo-rag from the corner drug store in Nola, I may not have ever splurged on that pimp hat!)
What's this? More than one hat? Jeez.
Posted by: Cythen at July 16, 2006 1:55 AMMy 9 year old male spawn collects all things simian. If I didn't know better, I'd swear you my baby's daddy, because he surely didn't get that from moi.
Cymbal banging monkeys make him run away and cry like a little girl though.
Posted by: Chablis at July 16, 2006 8:19 AMThe greatest love of my life collects hats and monkeys too but he's got you beat. He owns a real, cigarette smoking, beer stealing simian. He keeps her in Ghana though. She refuses to travel...
Posted by: Libby at July 16, 2006 8:26 AMIs that a pr0n magazine, and if so, why is it on the shelf of shame?
Posted by: sadie at July 16, 2006 11:19 AMI should've ransomed that monkey in Helen. You gotta make the CAP...again...this year...tradition and all that.
Posted by: Yabu at July 16, 2006 11:45 AMHe is being coy, Yabu, won't even commit to attending!
Posted by: Key at July 16, 2006 12:04 PMI'll post the recipe. How about that?
Posted by: Velociman at July 16, 2006 12:09 PMYou have it hanging on your review mirror?
ROFLMAO!!!!!!
Well, Maeve, I had it on the carseat but it accidentally got scooped up with my drycleaning. When I fetched the clothes the Greek girl handed the devil to me, shook the little tallywhacker, and said Very Hippie! No?!? So now it's my version of Mardi Gras beads.
Posted by: Velociman at July 16, 2006 12:33 PMThere's something missing: the lucite Blown Rectum Spidum lavalière that Yabu got you in Helen last year. You know, right after ya hit him with the Velociprobe.
Posted by: Elisson at July 16, 2006 12:59 PMCorrection: Almost hit me with the Velociprobe..., but it wasn't for lack of trying...Break Left!
Velocimen is a sick motherfucker.
Having said that...he still needs to make the Hunch Punch.
Posted by: Yabu at July 16, 2006 1:21 PMBUH HA HA HA HA HAA!
You should of seen the look my husband's face when I made the silly thing.
He's learned over time, "just don't ask".
I'm glad it gave the dry cleaner clerk a chuckle for the day.
Heheheh... the Velociprobe story cracks me up!
I'd have payed moneys to see Yabu shooting towards the ceiling...
Posted by: That 1 Guy at July 16, 2006 9:31 PMI've already posted the recipe for CAP. But a recipe is only a recipe. There's that certain ineffable Velocitude that only the V-Man can add to the mix, a sort of je ne sais pas. I don't know what.
Posted by: Elisson at July 17, 2006 1:28 AMEllison is correct, it ain't the same without some VelociJuju. That's a fact.
Posted by: Yabu at July 17, 2006 12:49 PM... what about that book of freaks I sent you?...
Posted by: Eric at July 17, 2006 6:29 PMAnd you were such a handsome dude in your red hat,,,
Posted by: Michele at July 17, 2006 7:17 PMDamn, Eric. The freak book. Told you it was only rather inclusive. I forget things. Witness Helen. I couldn't even find my damned drawers. The freak book got its own post though!!
Posted by: Velociman at July 17, 2006 7:56 PMAt first I read Yabu's comments and thought, "Hey, fuck the punch. Just show up, dude." But then I noticed that you left off the Red Hat-themed outfit which was used as a special outfit for that bottle of Grey Goose that I gave you in Jeckyll. Fucker.
Posted by: zonker at July 18, 2006 6:42 PMI'm here, lurking around! The sender of the Yankee coconut monkey head. During my junking expeditions, I'm always on the lookout for more, scarier monkeys just for you. The mate to your monkey is around here someplace. We I find it, I'll send it. They ought to be together.
