Thou Dost Protest Too Much

Spokespeople for the newly launched "Organized Resistance Against New tax on Gamma Ray Exposure" (ORANGE) gathered on Capitol Hill today to state their case against the new 10% excise tax on indoor tanning that goes into effect on July 1, 2010.

  1. That cracks me up. I'm thinking about getting a full body tan this summer. What do you think? Can I get arrested for laying in my hammock in the buff?

  2. I don't think much of it.

    In fact, I slather-on sun block all of the time. I cannot wear shorts just yet since my white legs would blind you.

    Having said that - we here at the platz don't really care much if you were to lay-about in the buff. We have a hot tub, chaise lounges, etc. And only six neighbors within a mile.

    I'm not inviting you but you know what I mean.

    You sun bathe where you are at your own risk.

    On a completely different tangent -

    Because you and I go back so far as internet pals I (impulsively) purchased for you an honorary membership in the Shady Thicket Curling Club.

    (It was a weak moment at the spring banquet - but consider it a worthy cause.)

    You're not a curler but I think you might make a decent curler. And I have selected the perfect name badge for you - all free for the taking.

    Just let me know by hook or by crook how to convey this relic to you.

    I'm discreet. Confidentiality is assured.

    I'm thinking you might even post your one-of-a-kind name tag on your blog...
