Linens and Things.

The other day Joe called me to find out where my brother is registered at for his wedding. I told him Bed, Bath, and Beyond. I thought that was where it was. I mean.. doesn't that seem right? Apparantly it was not. Here is a transcript of the conversation we had about it:

JoJoD272 [9:34 AM]: How do?
CPT2117 [9:36 AM]: well haloo!
JoJoD272 [9:36 AM]: You lied to me.
JoJoD272 [9:36 AM]: Patrick is not registered at Bed Bath and Beyond...
JoJoD272 [9:37 AM]: LIAR!
CPT2117 [9:37 AM]: i know. i'm sorry. my mother said you called.
JoJoD272 [9:37 AM]: I did...
JoJoD272 [9:37 AM]: I talked dirty to her for a while.
CPT2117 [9:37 AM]: perhaps i meant a little BEYOND Bed, Bath, and Beyond...
JoJoD272 [9:39 AM]: Ahh, it was like a Da Vinci Code riddle that I had to unravel...
JoJoD272 [9:41 AM]: Bed, Bath, and Beyond.... Hmmm... three B's
JoJoD272 [9:41 AM]: Bluebonnet begins with a B'
JoJoD272 [9:41 AM]: But there is no Bed Bath and Beyond on Bluebonnet!
JoJoD272 [9:42 AM]: Bleah...
JoJoD272 [9:43 AM]: Did you know that the "things" in Linens and Things are sex toys and illicit drugs?
JoJoD272 [9:44 AM]: Patrick will be receiving a set of anal beads and 1/8 of an ounce of crystal meth for his wedding.
CPT2117 [10:04 AM]: that is fantastic.
CPT2117 [10:04 AM]: i guess "Linens and Illicit Drugs and Sex Toys" was a little too long of a title.
JoJoD272 [10:05 AM]: exactly...
JoJoD272 [10:05 AM]: My mom used to always call tampons "things"
JoJoD272 [10:05 AM]: What if they only sold linens and tampons?
CPT2117 [10:05 AM]: then they'd be "Linens and Tampons".
CPT2117 [10:06 AM]: I think that would be wildly succesful.
JoJoD272 [10:06 AM]: How about a store called "Used Linens and Tampons"
JoJoD272 [10:07 AM]: How would that one fare?
CPT2117 [10:07 AM]: Hmmm... Maybe "Linens Used For Tampons"
JoJoD272 [10:07 AM]: Or tampons used for linens
CPT2117 [10:08 AM]: That would look good spread out on your bed. Your Used Tampon douvee.
JoJoD272 [10:09 AM]: They would be all the rage in Paris.
CPT2117 [10:10 AM]: For all we know, it already IS all the rage.
CPT2117 [10:10 AM]: What's up with that phrase. "All the rage".
JoJoD272 [10:11 AM]: It sounds like it wouldn't be a very good thing...
