Sex Toys And Mashed Potatoes. (Or, A Look At No Love Thursday.)

Last night was the meeting of the Nanook of the North Chapter #469 of the No-Love Drinking Club and Mutual Aid Society. The actual meeting was extremely brief, made briefer because the seargant-at-arms had had several cocktails by the time official business was conducted. Present at various times, due to the deteriorating condition of the roadways of this fair city; and the staggered work schedules of all, were: John Q. Public, his lovely bride Mrs. JQP, Pastor Bob, BBG, M. Chamberlin Newspaper Man, Tony Two Times, President Flavia Puff, Sky Captain, Pete the Fireman, and this reporter (an impressive turnout considering the 4 inches of snow that had fallen since noon.)

Cocktails were had, and civil conversations ensued, except for a slight difference of opinion concerning U2 and the poor and starving between myself and Tony 2X; and a confession from one member (FP) concerning the correct way to use a certain type of sex toy, for which we all gave pointers and a few hearty laughs. It was a remarkably low key evening for a bunch of high strung members of the intellengensia. Songs were sung, toasts were given, and the usual witty chatter and sex talk was bantered around. With the exception of what may be the most pathetic excuse for a hot toddy in bartending history (it tasted, all members agreed, "like foot",) it was a cordial and friendly gathering. All in all, a refreshing evening.

I encourage other locales to start their own chapter of NLT. Contact this reporter (National Director of Membership) for more details on how to bring this fun loving celebration of 'life and its pitfalls' to your neighborhood bodega, public house or inn.
