The Spankbank Caper


So, S & I are having lunch the other day at one of those brewery places that makes terrible beer but has terrific food and an even more terrific patio and cute boys to look at.


Usually S likes to cuss and discuss matters of a political nature, but that day was different apparently, so it was refreshing when we started talking about the current storyline on Denis Leary's "Rescue Me." We love Denis Leary, in a "oooh, I'd like a little of that bad boy" way. Combine that with carrying a fire hose and it's the stuff that dreams are made of.


Anyhoooo, we started talking about an episode or two ago when the guys of the firehouse were discussing who was in their spankbank and if you don't know what spankbank means, you really need to go on vacation or have a cocktail or two. I assume you can figure it out, my little pervs, um readers.


Natch, this led to me sharing that I'd bought myself a prezzie for my birthday. (Side note: I apparently wasn't "the only living female to not have one" before then, by the way!) Her eyes widened and she calmly asked me who was in my spankbank.


You must understand that S & I do not have these kind of convos. Nun-unh. I've tried before but she's a private person and apparently, I like to step on her toes figuratively at times, so I usually back it down a notch and save that stuff for Merv.


I was in mid-bite of my salad with light lemon caper vinaigrette dressing and started to laugh uncomfortably. I swear a caper moved up into my right sinus cavity from the pressure.* I can still smell vinegar now, two days later.


It was difficult to compose myself, but I managed to name off a few boys that came to mind. (hee, I said came) And S & I became closer friends that day as we found we've got at least one or two guys in common, spankbank-wise. Apparently, we both have John Mayer in the top 10. I think we also found out Mr. Leary is in there, too. Who says friends can't find things in common even after knowing each other all these years?


Anyway - so today, I was taking a little break from work and thinking about what to blog about and this spankbank topic came (heh, there I go again) up in my brain and it made me realize that spankbank is really a term for guys. So what would the female equivalent be? Dream Desk? Fantasy File? Vibra Vault?


Whatever it's called - anyone want to name names right 'cheer in this here blog? Who is in your spankbank/vibravault? Awwwww, come one, come all! (there I go again.....)


*Get the title of this post now? Hee. Caper. Get it? I crack me up sometimes.

  2. A few years ago, my boyfriend at the time told me the 'spanky' behind the counter at the mini mart was ogling me. I've found spankies ever since... When my friend from Phoenix was in town we went out partying & found a spanky celebrating his 21st birthday. I got behind him, she got in front of him, and we formed a spanky sandwich & dirty danced. He later asked for seconds, & told us we MADE his birthday!

    I'll be back with my top 10.....

  6. Oddly, I don't have a list. I usually just imagine him faceless. Eh. Whatcha gonna do!? As for the whole present to yourself... I did the SAME thing. Only when I turned 25. Is it weird I haven't bought a new one since?

    ReplyDelete
  7. Sassy B - oooo, I might need to add Gary Sinise to my own list. That's a tasty morsel.

    Tug - I'm so glad you explained the Scott Peterson reference. I was thinking of that murderer. But come to think of it, he was pretty darn cute, too. Hey, no need for a connecting factor - variety, baby! Ooo, I just noticed Jon Bon Jovi on your list. Nummy nummy. *adding to my list* Geez, I need to get busy.

    tfg - You like to live on the edge, don't you?

    Rockdog - It's the "holes" at the donut shop, isn't it? Eeeeewww, I just grossed myself out.

    Thatgirl - I don't know if it's weird - does one get tired of their special friend and have to get a divorce and upgrade?

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  17. Sassy B - I've just got to hear this story now. He's so intense. Yumm.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
