Seven naughty nurses and a waitress

Abe Books sent ’round a cute bit about romance book covers (and the sheer weight of nurses involved), in honor of Valentine’s Day.

Long-time readers may recall this is our anniversary.

The third for Uncle B and moi. Our favorite nice restaurant went out of business, so we’re going to get Chinese takeout and watch something on the box. We did chill down a nice bottle of Mumm we’ve been saving, though, so that’s okay.

But it’s also our anniversary — five years to the day since sweasel.com went live.

Happy anniversary! Smoochies! (But no champagne for you; my upload speeds aren’t up to it).

Thenk yew.

Some time during the snow last week, probably, some poor rat came in out of the cold, had a nibble of the poison in the attic and expired. Stinks to high heaven in here.

I turned to Uncle B and said, “darling, they’re playing our song!”

Happy Anniversary!
PS – I’ve dated nurses. They are twisted sisters! And can be fun!

I married a large chested red head nurse. Fun for a romp, dangerous for the long term. Boobs good, redheads with bad tempers and a knowledge of human anatomy, not so much.

Paring knives can be dangerous.

Just saying.
And Happy anniversary, M’dam Weasel and Sir Badger. Best wishes to you both.

Your collection is clearly incomplete, it doesn’t even have “Nazi Space Nurses From The Moon”.

Oh, and Happy Anniversary.

“Romance” is how they used to spell “soft porn”…

There are only three sure things in life: death, taxes, and a nurse.

That is a splendid stuffed weasel, Gromulin. I very nearly bought one myself, but it was dusty and worn and tiny and they wanted STUPID money for it.

Anniversaries are so nostalgic.
I remember my first hairy trucker at the diesel depot in the Mururoa Karekare. It was an awakening. I crack a big stiffy every time a delivery truck drives by.

Gromulin: Oh, no, nono, nononononoooooo…

Getting Stoaty Weasel and the Bloggess together could only lead to disaster. We should all be thankful the Atlantic is (barely) wide enough.

Happy anniversary, Sweasel and UB! May you have many more.

Me, I sometimes take this time of year to tell people “Happy VD!”

But they take it wrong, for some odd reason.

Third anniversary? Congrats! That’s leather, right?

And, a little something for the blog.

Many happy returns!

“Romance” is how they used to spell “soft porn”…

Not when those books were published. Until relatively recently (I think mid-80s, but since I was never a great reader of romance, I couldn’t pinpoint it from personal experience) romance novels were rigidly moralistic, and nobody engaged in sexual relations on screen, or before the final closing. Nowadays–well, that’s a different story. Stuff could curl your hair or fry your toes, judging by the one example I incautiously read on the recommendation of a friend. And it’s still short on plot development, weak on character delineation, and awash in dumb dialog. . .

Oh, yeah–happy anniversary, mustelids!

Happy Anniversary Stoaty and Uncle Badger! Hooray!

May you two do something wonderful on your anniversary… and may nobody catch you at it! `/;)

Happy Anniversary, Stoaty and Uncle Badger, I hope it’s an awesome one, and a prelude to many more delightful years to come.

You could add this to that collection for a modern touch…

Happy Anniversary on all counts. Hope it was a good one. And chinese take-out… if only there was good take out near here. The best chinese take out is the stuff I make. The Nurse doesn’t seem to mind though, he loves my cooking. (see what I did there? ;P )

Congrats and Best Wishes, Sweasel and Uncle Badger! I will pop a bottle of champers in your honour this evening! Thanks, too, for your blog–I’d be stuck in the middle of the Atlantic somewhere without it!

Day late and a dollar short….again!

Blessings on ya both, and to the blog! You’ve created a great little garden of educated whacky doodle meanderings in the desolate wasteland of Cyberia. Who else has a celebrity dead pool?

Hahaha…I’m such a banana. I never mean these things to turn into “post nice things to me” threads, and I never see it coming.

Nieta, your nurse is an Englishman, whose idea of good food was that which didn’t kill him. Wait until he gets here and tries real Mexican food, mmmmm

(And congrats to Nieta de Bob for passing her UK driving test, which she says was extremely hard and she completely understands the problems the Stoatress has had with the dang thing.)

Beware: more than one link in a comment is apt to earn you a trip to the spam filter, where you will remain -- cold, frightened and alone -- until I remember to clean the trap. But, hey, without Akismet, we'd be up to our asses in...well, ass porn, mostly.
