God loves a cheerful giver.
The puppy shirt sent me to urbandictionary.com where I found the definition I believe you are referencing, and it also told me about t9 which I went to wiki to look up and now I know why eddie is always quoting my texts and saying "t9" where before I just figured he was an idiot.
So thank you, on behalf of eddie. I no longer think he's an idiot.
just to share with the group:

I wonder what happens if you type in "Girl, when I get home I am going to make some sweet potato pie love with my mouth and tongue to the exit chute of your baby factory"?
Someone try that, I can't bring my phone into the building.
How do you reconcile promoting one item based solely on its socially responsible identity (mattandnat accessories) and then going the opposite direction with metallic leather gloves? Do shiny objects make you lose all sense of your values? Not a sermon, just a thought.
Myron, how are gloves to be considered the opposite of socially responsible?
you know what would be really socially irresponsible? going to that heifer.org bsite and giving the gift of a pig or a cow or chickens to some impoverished community knowing full well that they are only gonna kill it for food.
fucking savages.
Chad, do you know what would be funny though? Donating a cow to some impoverished community in India. Let's do it.
I'm not vegan, so buying leather goods doesn't bother me. But I have had a lot of people ask me where they can get good vegan bags and shoes. So I thought I'd share.
and yes, shiny objects tend to distract me. ooh look... a penny.
