I missed you Slog while I was gone. I did think of you all when sitting with the Roma people who beg in St. Peter's Square in my IGB shirt. And in the ruins of Pompeii where the brothel was one of the best preserved buildings and I learned that nearly every building has a penis carved on it has a sign of protection and request for fertility. Specifically I wondered what C.M. would have to say about them?
Dan, you really should have been listening to Weekday on KUOW this morning. They plugged you and Terry's "It'll Be Alright" project...multiple times...eek!
It was Marcy something-or-another. Though the guest, Armistead Maupin, was wonderful and spoke well of you. Still can't get over the "It'll Be Alright" project, maybe you should change the name.
@kim in portland, welcome back! I've been to Pompeii once and had similar reactions to those Roman-style decorations that are usually not discussed in highschool Roman history courses.
Instead of "Puerto Rican Diet Plan," how about simply an "Arango"? It can be a verb too, like "goatse." Instead of Rickrolling or goatse-ing your friends, you can Arango them.
Thank you, ankylosaur. I thought of you specifically in Rome at the Basilica di San Clemente, partly because of the buildings beneath ( 4th century CE church, pagan temple dedicated to Mithras, and 1st century public building) but mostly because amongst the 9th to 11th century frescos there are tributes and frescos to Saints Cyril and Methodius as there is a story that the two brothers began developing the Glagolitic and Cyrillic alphabets upon their return to Rome with the body of Saint Clemente from the Black Sea still with anchor around his neck. We were told Saint Cyril's remains were interred there as well. It would have been interesting to hear your thoughts as well.

Weiner was a class act compared to this :-P (I also noticed Weiner didn't try to claim weight loss in his case, heh).
OK, so how quickly is this asshole going to be railroaded out? I really hope it's not *crickets*...
also: Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo, senator Arango
Normally when somebody comes up with a really good joke, it's called a rimshot!
In this case....well, er....

Anyway, all the best sex acts have place names in them. It's how you can tell it from just a regular steamer or an ordinary diet plan.
Others should post similar @ urbandictionary.com.
@12 -- Ah! Quoties iam te monui!...
LMAO. This made my Monday morning. :)
'Yeah, I was texting this guy and I thought he was hot, so I Arangoed him (send him a pic of my asshole) and we hooked up a bit later."
Or
"The guy had a nice face and good enough pecs, but then he Arangoed me, and man, I'm not sticking my dick in that bunch of grapes!"
"Arangoed" is better, shorter, and less likely to flirt with bigotry than "Puerto Rican Diet Plan".
