Friday Ephemera (807)
Little Daphnis making waves. || Like he’s doing it with his mind. || Look away now. || On the near-continual laying of eggs. || The thrill of testicles. || Big piles of enrichment. || Hairdressing… for Men? || Mixed messages. || Symbolism. || The ice king of Boston. || You know, I’m beginning to think it should be a slur once again. || Gentleman caller, a possible series. || He has a jingle. || Oh gender heaven. || Hides of note. || Hours of fun. || Water, water, and milk. || Within six months. Oh, and womanliness is all about “make-up, fashion and clothes.” || Assorted Star Trek merchandise, including the Star Trek metal detector and the vocal stylings of Janice Rand. || Smooth operator. || Personal space. || Apollo 11, in real time. || Tool of note. || Room enlargement. || Quality employee. || Skills were deployed.
