Today's the anniversary!

What did you do for your one-year anniversary? I need some suggestions of what to do.

I'm not sure what is going to happen by MartiniPhilosopher (4.00 / 1) #3 Mon Mar 27, 2006 at 10:51:51 AM EST

On my first year anniversary. I'm thinking that it will involve a good deal of sobering up as my 30th birthday will be the day before it. Although at this point I have no idea what that party will be like as my wife is being somewhat secretive about the whole thing currently.

and a lot of sex.

First year anniversaries are simultaneously the most and least important. That's why it's the paper anniversary (according to old tradition): important things can be on / made with paper (contracts and the like) but they are still temporal, subject to destruction. You must be careful with paper!

If you're a traditionalist, go with paper. Origami. The New York Times, say. And sex. Sex is always a good idea. And maybe a nice watch. And a bottle of whiskey. And a decent Willie Nelson album. And maybe a new pair of assless chaps.

in the ass-less chaps.

But according to Martha Stewart they should be made of paper.

Always fold the creases outward, or you may suffer from very irritable and embarrassing chafing paperburns in unspeakable places.

It'd be sort of creepy to strap a couple of assless guys to your legs. Though they might offer more protection than cowhide.

Regarding the chaps, by skippy (4.00 / 1) #30 Mon Mar 27, 2006 at 05:06:02 PM EST

is it even possible to buy a pair of fully-assed chaps? Or is the term "assless chaps" simply redundant?

[ Parent ]

You can buy by blixco (4.00 / 1) #31 Mon Mar 27, 2006 at 05:17:55 PM EST

full chaps, half chaps, "Western chaps" (the assless variety) and something called an English Quarter chap. No idea about the latter.

Full chaps are still assless, sort of: they have a slit that goes up the ass, and the crotch is cut out, but the insides of the thighs are still covered. Mostly worn by amateur rodeo guys, they offer a bit more protection than your standard assless chap, mainly in the thigh region. And the legs are more like pantlegs with these big damn flaps.

gosh-durned! And even my formerly-in-4H-riding-horses-and-beating-up-cows wife didn't think that there were mostly-assed chaps available out there.

kids and amateur "cowboys" with 'em. They're closer to crotchless leather pants.

Welsh Girl and I ... by atreides (4.00 / 3) #6 Mon Mar 27, 2006 at 11:07:35 AM EST

...went back to the place where we had our first date and had tea followed by ice cream and sex.

How's that?

First date. by calla (4.00 / 2) #10 Mon Mar 27, 2006 at 11:19:25 AM EST

Not going back there.

The ice cream and sex sounds good.

Not at the same time, right?

On a completely unrelated note... by atreides (4.00 / 1) #23 Mon Mar 27, 2006 at 02:05:05 PM EST

...so I been listening to Donald Fagen's new album and one of the songs reminds me of you, specifically The Night Belongs To Mona. Whether that is a good or bad thing is your prerogative.

30 seconds of Mona sounded good. by calla (2.00 / 0) #24 Mon Mar 27, 2006 at 02:27:58 PM EST

What do you think of the whole album?

[ Parent ]

: As a whole, it's good... by atreides (4.00 / 1) #25 Mon Mar 27, 2006 at 02:48:38 PM EST

Two tracks in particular (That's What I Do and The Night Belongs To Mona) are stellar. The rest are good. My only problem with the album is that it sounds a little too over-perfected. It's like a knife that been sharpened one too many times. Something gets lost when it's too right. That and it's no Kamakiriad...

Maintain eye contact and hum by Rogerborg (4.00 / 3) #8 Mon Mar 27, 2006 at 11:13:41 AM EST

I can only maintain occasional eye contact.

Shouldn't I do something different? Today is special.

socks by Kellnerin (4.00 / 1) #9 Mon Mar 27, 2006 at 11:13:51 AM EST

We bought each other socks. Oh, and we also did a weekend trip to the lakes region of New Hampshire, went out for a nice dinner, etc. But socks were what we wanted most at that exact point in time. Whole big quest thing actually -- it was fantastic.

Socks? by calla (2.00 / 0) #11 Mon Mar 27, 2006 at 11:25:25 AM EST

I could really use some socks right now - but I don't see anything fantastic about going shopping for them.

[ Parent ]

: it's all context by Kellnerin (4.00 / 2) #34 Mon Mar 27, 2006 at 07:13:46 PM EST

It probably won't be socks, for you. But maybe, something, that will be exactly what you need.
On a completely unrelated note, on your recommendation I Netflixed the Wonderfalls DVDs. So far I haven't seen any of the episodes that I didn't catch on TV, but man, it is as silly as I remember. Thanks for the tip.

Easy by Bob Abooey (4.00 / 3) #17 Mon Mar 27, 2006 at 12:24:45 PM EST

Snuff films, hookers and crack.

And of course a good book on relationships for you to read while ti is partaking in the above.

Warmest regards,

So we should do a little role reversal on our anniversary?

Here's what I did by jayhawk88 (4.00 / 1) #26 Mon Mar 27, 2006 at 02:55:41 PM EST

I made weekend reservations at the bed and breakfast we had our wedding at. Of course our anniversary fell on like a Tuesday that first year so it was like 4 days after the actual day, but you get the idea.

is a good time to invite your man to perform the dilation and curettage procedure on you. For fun and laughs, of course, and to see if he's any good at it.
