We got a delivery at my workplace for Blowfish today. I saw it in the back as I put something out for a UPS pickup. It said, in our receiver's handwriting, "delivered to wrong address". When I saw who it was for, I called over two other pervy co-workers who happened to be walking by.

"Oops, my box knife is accidentally cutting the packing tape," I said.

What would it be? The anticipation was killing us as we all tried to get the first glimpse beyond the styro peanuts. Would it be a case of dildos? A box of condoms and gloves? Bad, big-haired porn? One of those scary butt toys bigger than my leg? Bulk lube?* I lifted the invoice out. . .

The box contained one case of "massage oil". Yep, the lamest possible thing to buy from a sex toy distro with the possible exception of a "tickling" feather.

I sealed the box back up and returned it to the UPS pile.



* To their credit, I believe bulk lube is available at the Olympia Food Co-op. Though I'd hate to have to be the cashier who has to touch the recycled containers.

i had the exact same series of very weird thoughts. why would g. expect to find dildoes in the box for the sushi restaurant?

I take offense at that! I prefer to think that I am unaware of this Blowfish because I choose to support Good Vibrations who are a co-op and therefore have no need for some presumably male-run sex shop.

I was about to say that I am good at pulling those out of my ass, but in the context of this conversation, that could mean something else entirely!

Nope, while not a co-op, Blowfish (http://www.blowfish.com/catalog/) is full of pretty cool folk spanning the gender spectrum.

(But I had the same sushi assumption, too.)

Apparently I have just been living under a rock!

Or maybe the supply room full of dildoes and lube downstairs has made shopping for such things unnecessary and way less fun!

yes, I'm a little bit embarrassed by the SF people on this comment thread. thinking of "hip" sushi before sex toys. . . You'd think this was LA or something.

Crushing disappointment, I imagine. I'd have been bummed. They could have at least ordered a cock ring or something that you could have terrorized customers with.

well, it was going *to* the sex toy distro not from it. Evidently we have a distributor in common.

nope, no worries. The Bath and Body department carries some of these products.

i can't wait until we get the box in. i will sneak it off into the back room and rub myself against it. i will lick the packaging tape where your box cutter has been. it makes me so hot, just knowing that you have touched my case of massage oil.

i have no idea why they would mis-ship that to you. i think the mail boy needs to be flogged. this is not an empty threat.

From: [identity profile] gordonzola.livejournal.com
well, it came from Vitae (sp?) who we get a bunch of stuff from. The UPS guy just left an extra box so he's the one who needs to be disciplined. The mail boy did everything correctly though whatever works for internal procedure, ya know. . .

as for the rest, wow. don't fetishize the handwriting though, it's not mine.

well, damn. the box hasn't actually shown up at blowfish yet. i really need those smelly oils, too. are you sure you didn't make off with it?

by the time the box actually reaches me, all of your cooties will have worn off of it. can i bring the box back to rainbow and rub it in your armpits? gordon cooties are really a big part of my whole sneaking off into the back room and licking the packing tape scene.

I would have just called you to pick up the other one but it was after (your) hours when I found it. I was originally just going to send you an e-mail but when I started writing it, I realized it was too good a ptential LJ entry to pass up.

Maybe I'll pack you a special box full of used cheese aprons, tape it up, and deliver it to you personally.

From: [identity profile] wookiepocket.livejournal.com
oh, this would totally do it for me. living in a town full of perverts, it's so hard to find a unique fetish. cheese aprons! pretty soon you'll have cheese apron fetishists sneaking in to rainbow just to lick the 3-week-old splotches of crusty brie off of them. i smell a money making opportunity here.

speaking of which, i'd be willing to pay big money for pictures of you wearing nothing but a cheese apron. or, we could barter. i know how you commie co-op types dig that. plus, there are few things sweeter in life than bartering for smut.

i can't believe the place has a taxidermied blow fish wearing leather gear for their logo! when i moved into my last house in atlanta, the owner left a giant taxidermied blowfish behind. we felt terrorized by that thing.

and this:
One of those scary butt toys bigger than my leg?

ha! ha ha ha ha haaaa....

dod you keep the blowfish? Sounds like the kind of thing one would fall upon during a drunken party and be rushed to the hospital for. (uh, it's late I know I should rephrase that sentence but. . .)

From: [identity profile] teabee.livejournal.com
well, we never touched or moved it. so it stayed exactly where it was the entire time we lived there (hanging from a hook on the porch - not gruesomely from the mouth, but from an invisible string somewhere, making it horizontal).

i think when we moved out, whoever was helping us really liked it, so we told him he could have it, though i'm really not certain of its fate.

we mostly didn't look at it or even notice it whenever we were on the porch (which was a lot) because we'd gotten so used to it being part of the scenery.

(okay. all of these sentences - and their structures - are fucked up. hopefully my head will clarify as my day moves on).

I saw "blowfish" and the only thing that came to mind was the sushi restaurant. So I'm sitting there thinking, "Why is he so interested in restaurant supplies?..."

My thoughts exactly.

To their credit, I believe bulk lube is available at the Olympia Food Co-op. Though I'd hate to have to be the cashier who has to touch the recycled containers.

Remind me never to get a job at the Olympia Food Co-op.

Well-lubed shirtless hippie dudes... ew!!!
