so… gray whales had a chaperon to keep the mating season in action?

Grey whales have the ultimate wingman.

You know, I am not sure I want to know how whales mate.

Thanks – Fifty Shades of Gray Whales…

Wow! A mating helper!

Save the bales…. I mean whales.

Gee, don’t things like drinks or certain dishes get named after someone famous because it’s something they enjoyed? There’s a hot dog place somewhere that wanted to name a hot dog after Betty White, so they asked her what she liked on hers. Turns out, she doesn’t like any condiments. So they called it the Betty White Naked Dog. Or those big sandwiches that are called Dagwoods. So how did the Shirley Temple get it’s name? The first I ever tried of those though, the place didn’t call them that. They were just called a kiddie cocktail. I didn’t know a Shirley Temple was the same thing until my aunt’s wedding reception. I ordered one and it tasted exactly the same.

The cola version of a Shirley Temple is called a Roy Rogers. Both are made with grenadine. Shirley Temple is made with lemon-lime soda and the Roy Rogers, of course, is made with cola.

A bit late for the Halloween reference.

Glad to hear it.

I’ll give you the formula for maximizing your Halloween hall: A king size pillow case, A costume good enough to elicite “Awwwws” but does not restrict movement or sight, a ride to and a map of an affluent neighborhood. Every child that has been around the block a few times knows this.

There are a million guys out there tonight who are going to try to twist the whale item in an attempt to persuade their significant others into a three-way.

What does Mickey Finn like to drink?

I think that Shirley Temple was an abstainer and did not want to introduce children to the idea of a kiddy cocktail.
