I saw a video about this new perfume called “Virtue,” and was fascinated. “Inspired by the Bible,” it costs $80 (or 293 shekels) for a 1.7 ounce bottle.
“Wow,” I said to Tom. “There’s a new perfume that’s supposed to bring you closer to God.”
He looked at me for second and asked, “What does it do, kill you?”

LOL. OMG that was too funny.
It’s like the Olive Garden commercials, “When You’re Here You’re Family”……..Who the hell wants that? Does a waitress come by the table and say, ” you’re not going to eat all that ……….are you? You’re really packing on the pounds.”

Oh my god, that is so funny. Hilarious. And so is Alyson’s comment!
And as I understand it, people in biblical times didn’t smell all that great.

@ Lucky:
@ alyson: HA! Now you’ve got me laughing, and I’m wondering what other things they’d say! “Are you really dating HIM?” “Those shoes look awful with that outfit.” “Is that a zit on your nose?” What a dining experience!!!
@ Wendy: Ewwww… camel dung and unwashed armpits, with just a hint of sewage.
@ brightfeather: He definitely has his moments!
I messed up on posting the link to the Virtue site, but I think it’s fixed now.

That was really funny. I want to smell it. I wish my computer had scratch and sniff software.
I just read last night in my bathroom trivia book about some Queen who only bathed twice in her life. I forget which queen. She probably could have used some Virtue or maybe she had her head chopped off and she got closer to God.

@ joan: Was it um…Queen ALONE? Queen Friendless? Queen Stinky?
I’ll bet it was Queen Mary. She didn’t look so hot.

I’ve got all the virtue I can handle right now. I need something more like “Very Sexy for Her” or some such to bathe in. Maybe theeeennnnnn the guys will ask me out. LOL.

@ LM: So you’re saying Virtue is overrated?
Have you tried any online dating? Or supermarket man scanning like romi does? She writes the “Year of the Chick” blog (on my sidebar), and she’s on a major manhunt. I don’t know what perfume she’s wearing, but I think it’s something like, “C’mere Right Now!”
Little Miss said,
February 5, 2008 at 9:49 pm
Oh, Virtue is soooooooooo overrated.
I’ll go check out Romi’s blog and if her perfume works, I’m going to by a truckload of it. Oh, and yes, I’ve tried the online dating. I can’t see paying $50 a month right now though for the chance to talk to someone 20 years older than me. (Think: eharmony.) Plus, their algorithms are off. I selected to be matched with someone within 25 miles from me (I’m in Washington state) and they keep sending me people from Idaho, Oregon…. you get the drift.

@ rain: Heehee. Kurt Cobain is rolling over right about now.
@ LM: Yikes- that sounds like a waste of money, especially right now. You’re so cute and smart and sweet– maybe they’re all “blind men.”

I think you read too much Fox news. It is not a good place for information. I only wanted to see what they said about these primaries. It was very hard to find. There was something on the botteom left under a little heading “Gosspi”. Beneath that there were two little links: Celebrities and elections.

cantueso????? Perhaps Fox News should be carrying Moonbeam’s blog!

Okay, where did the dollars-to-sheckel converter come from. I’d be interested in obtaining that information…

That’s a good one!
By the way, did you heard of Triond site? Supposedly, you write stuff and eventually they pay you?
moonbeammcqueen said,
February 6, 2008 at 12:28 pm
@ gingatao: I agree with your assessment of Tom. Consider him back-slapped.
@ cantueso: I’d get my election information from someplace a little more reputable. Like the National Enquirer.
@ betme: Ha! I agree! And they should pay me handsomely!
@ Reformed Faith:

No. There has to be more about Paris Hilton. There was also this : “Human Tongue Accidentally Served Up in Hospital.”
Notice: ACCIDENTALLY.
Now that is the kind of thing you can’t get here.

@ alyson: Me too!
@ cantueso: I was looking for a good “tongue on a plate” story, but I just couldn’t find one, which is why I posted this instead.
@ avid mass: I’m glad you thought so!

So now we know…you are not the only one that is funny!!
So from now on if you can’t write for some reason..we expect Tom to take over.
moonbeammcqueen said,
February 6, 2008 at 9:11 pm
@ gypsy-heart: (whispering) Shhhhh…nooooo… he’s really not that funny– he just had a moment. We don’t want him to get too full of himself. (Not whispering anymore) But it is hilarious to think about how different my blog might be if he took over. I might have to have him guest write one of these days.
Actually, when he said this, I laughed hysterically on and off for hours. He was so surprised. I think he was half serious.

Yay Tom! These moments are pure treasure. What would Jesus want us to smell like? Cookies!

@ David: Not just cookies– home-made chocolate chip cookies, fresh out of the oven.

Mwwwahahahaha!
Virtue is indeed massively over-rated. I have spent a lifetime dedicated to its elimination.
Shouldn’t that be “Smells Like Nine Inch Nails”?
Then again, if it was “inspired by the Bible” perhaps it smells like ancient loaves and fishes. Wonder if there’s a market for a cologne inspired by the Dead Sea Scrolls. Or maybe the Rosetta Stone?
Jackie Collins?
moonbeammcqueen said,
February 8, 2008 at 6:46 pm
@ Metro: I think you’re on to something here– a whole line of ancient scents. You could have the ones you mentioned, and even a line of men’s colognes. Holy Moses (smells like burning bushes), 40 Days and 40 Nights (animal feces and seawater), and Pharaoh! (a subtle blend of locusts, frogs and sweat, with just a hint of firstborn child).
LOL @ Jackie Collins.
