I'm a pretty good sister - also Vagina Dentata discussion.

[Laurie]

I got it! YAY! I spent the night with some really nice folks, talking about monorail cat and Juggernaut cat and BRB Going to the Moon Cat and invisible bike cat and invisible sandwich cat and do not want dog and lime hat cat and orange hat cat. It was fun!

[SamStone]

I actually stood in Times Square at Toys R Us for about 6 hours on launch night to get one.

It was actually pretty fun.  Everyone I met wasn't a complete psycho like I expected.

[Sarah]

Inevitably, I am now envisioning a bunch of people waiting in line to buy the latest scary vagina dentata device chatting cheerily about all kinds of cats (and, no, I don't mean pussies), in a scene worthy of that oh-so-sentimental tearjerker Boogie Nights.  A heartwarming Christmas story, much like Jason's penny tale.

The notion of a vagina dentata raises some interesting issues.

So where would you get your vagina dentata checked out?
OB-GYN or at the dentists?
Can you eat with that thing?
Could the act of coitus technically be regarded as oral?
FWD or mouthwash?

Inquiring minds need to know.

[Laurie]

Can you eat with that thing?

I think so, yes, but I'm pretty sure you don't want to know what its diet consists of. I just ended a sentence with a preposition.

[Sarah]

What about flossing?

[Tyrannosaurus Rocks]

Flossing would probably be much more enjoyable.

This will be playing at Sundance in January. And I thought horse-sex was extreme.

[Laurie]

Oh god, the creepy kid from Nip/Tuck is in that movie. His eyebrows are at least ten times scarier than a toothy vagina. He looks like Michael Jackson.

[elisaWA]

Yes, his eyebrows are creepier than a toothy vagina. Good call. I'd like get get a t-shirt with that quote but...well...bad idea. OK, I have fulfilled my yearly use of the word "vagina" now so I'm not allowed to say it again till December 19, 2007.

 This should make your next visit to the gynecologist more interesting than usual, no disrespect intended.

[Sarah]

Nah, Stan.  In my experience, the word "vagina" has never cropped up during a pelvic exam or the formalities that precede and follow it.  "Cervix," maybe.  More usually, the conversation focuses on the weather or some other neutral subject.

[Laurie]

Question: Is it just my gynocologist, or does ever gynocologist do this? They say, "This is my hand, this is the speculum," et cetera, et cetera. I mean, what else is it going to be? My gyn is a woman, so it's not going to be her dick. Unless, of course, she intends on using a dildo. Seriously, though, I'm not a horse. I'm not going to be spooked. Jesus.

[elisaWA]

Laurie, thanks for the laugh - that is so true and so funny. Yes, they do that. And like Sarah said, we basically want them in and out (um) of there as quickly and painlessly and with the least amount of embarassment as possible so if there's any conversation its about something entirely unrelated.

Most of it is like, "You are going to feel something very cold" or "this may pinch a bit" or "how bout dem Eagles?"

I guess it could be best compared to the awkwardness of a prostate exam.

[Sarah]

"how bout dem Eagles?"

You mean "nem Eagles"?
