Dear Flannel and Glitter...

Dear Flannel and Glitter, 

I have a relationship issue I need help with. There's this guy I like and we have so many things in common. I fell for him pretty quick, but he hasn't done the same for me. I could list off all the things I like about him, but that'd be way too long. I'm just hung up on one thing: he's a huge Slut-Slut McSlut Sluttiest Slut Grand Prize Winner. In short, he likes sex with a lot of people. He's never had a relationship longer than a month, and I'm a long-term kind of a guy. What do I do?

-Don’t-want-the-clap

Dear Don’t-want-the-clap,

First of all, what are you talking about? Clapping is fun! Have you ever heard the song, “If You’re Happy and You Know It”? 

Now, we understand that you want a long-term relationship, but you have to understand that relationships are all about compromise. We suggest going with him on all of his adventures, and even joining in on his bedtime antics. This will show him that you love him for who he is, and that you accept his alternative lifestyle. 

Besides, monogamy is boring. Doing this, your life will be a perpetual game of Russian roulette. Nothing adds passion to a relationship like the unexpected. 

-Flannel and Glitter

P.S. If you’re looking for someone to offer their services, our rates are very reasonable. 

Dear Flannel and Glitter,

My girlfriend and I have been dating for a year now, and she recently cut her hair really short. She’s quite obviously a lesbian, which is of course, really, really hot. I tried asking her for a threesome (which I know is every lesbian’s dream) but she said no. How can I convince her?

-Three’s a party

Dear Three’s a party,

The first thing you need to remember, is that you have to be very careful, because lesbians can be a bit touchy. Even though we know that all lesbians are secretly straight (I mean, come on, who can resist the allure of Axe Body Spray and sawdust?), they keep up the charade of homosexuality in order to add excitement to their mundane lives. 

The best way to get your way is to lure her with candy and chocolate. Lay down a trail of mints leading to the bedroom, where you will be waiting with the hot lesbian who you bribed with free steel toe boots and flannel shirts. Next, put some Indigo Girls on the stereo, and start a pillow fight.

Once the pillows start flying, they won’t be able to resist stripping down and french kissing each other. Then, before you know it, you’ll be in the midst of doing the flying purple fox. 

-Glitter

P.S. What the hell, man?! I’m gone for one day, and the whole operation is in shambles. No lesbian wants to have sex with a man, that’s the whole point! Hell, even straight women don’t want to have sex with men. 

-Flannel

P.P.S. If I learned anything while working at the Boom Boom Cabaret, it’s that the customer is always right. I felt it was my duty to give this man the advice he requested. Though I don’t know why he wants to sleep with women. Blech!

Pick-Up Lines

We know it’s tough out there when it comes to finding that special someone. So we’ve put together a list of the most extensively tested pick-up lines known to man. Tested first in the lab, under controlled situations, and then out in the field by yours truly, these are sure to alleviate your physical yearnings. 

For Straight People (i.e. Breeders):

There aren’t enough people in the world. Let’s make more.

You’re a man. I’m a woman. It’s meant to be.

My biological clock is ticking.

We could’ve written more, but honestly they don’t need any more help popping out dozens of screaming larvae that will one day grow up to become as dumb as their predecessors.

For Lesbians:

My rent is getting to be a little too much. Want to move in with me?

I have all six seasons of “The L Word” on DVD.

My girlfriend just broke up with me and she left me with a lot of emotional baggage.

I’m working on a documentary about feminism post 9-11.

Hey, do you want to adopt a cat together?

Do you want to go with me to the WNBA game? We can listen to the new Indigo Girls CD on the way there.

I’m headed to a rally for women’s rights. Want to join me?

I have a coupon for the vegan buffet at Flannel World. What do you say we make a night of it?

Did I mention my bra is made out of organic hemp?

Nice mullet.

Nice motorcycle.

There’s nothing I love more than the environment, except protesting.

What do you say we put on wife-beaters, lift weights, and watch Saturday Night Live?

I’m a high school gym teacher and I volunteer at an animal shelter on the weekends.

Will you be the Bette to my Tina? 

I’m eighteen now. It’s time I settled down.

My two favorite things are commitment and changing myself.

For Gay Men:

Look, an empty room.

I’m single.

I’m in a relationship, but he’s cool with it.

I just got tested. I’m all clean.

Found a condom.

Excuse me, I seem to be suffering from a rather serious snake bite. Do you think you could suck out the venom?

Boxers or briefs?

Top or bottom?

My boyfriend is out of town.

What’s your favorite Madonna album?

No one is looking.

So, we’ve been dating for three whole hours. I think it’s time we took this to the next level

This bed is comfortable. Join me.

The backseat of my car is really comfortable.

Hey.

What’s up?

*Wink*

Dear Flannel and Glitter...

Dear Flannel and Glitter,

I’m getting on in years and I feel I’ve lived a full life. I’ve done the career thing and made my mark on the world, but now I’m so sick of people I can barely stand to look at my co-workers without projectile vomiting. My 26^th birthday is around the corner and I’m dreading seeing all those people staring at me with their sickeningly joyful faces. It makes me want to scream! So, as a present to myself, I’ve decided to become a hermit. How should I proceed?

-Frustrated in Fargo.

Dear Frustrated in Fargo,

Good for you! People are disgusting, horrible lumps of carbon. Your choice sets you apart and potentially removes you from the rest of humanity, which makes us like you a little more – not too much though. Unlike all those useless people who just produce waste and convert valuable oxygen into carbon dioxide, you’re doing something useful.

The first step is to remove the influence of people. The best way to do this is to quit your job, stop bathing and stop shaving. In fact, stop all hygienic practices of any kind. Sell all your stuff (we would happily take them for a “reasonable” price) and move into your car while you find a suitable cave for your future home. In order to survive, you’ll need to hunt. Make sure to stop by the Medieval Weapons section at your local Wal-Mart (see previous post on how to survive a grocery store) to pick up a spear or two.

The next step is start talking to yourself. Mumble often and randomly jerk your arms as though you were in the throes of a small seizure. Scream at any person or animal that comes within 100ft. of your cave. This will ensure that people know you are serious about becoming a hermit and encourage them to leave you alone.

-Flannel and Glitter.

Dear Flannel and Glitter,

My long-term boyfriend is really pressuring me to take our relationship to the next level. We’ve been dating for three whole weeks and we just click, you know? Like, we know everything about each other and even finish each other’s sentences. I feel like I’ve known him my whole life. My friends think it’s weird for us to be so serious in our second year of high school, but they don’t understand what it’s like to be in a mature relationship.

My parents always taught me that I shouldn’t have sex before I’m married, but T-Bone says it’s totally rad and my parents are just old-fashioned.

What should I do?

-Horny in Hamilton.

Dear Horny in Hamilton,

T-Bone is right. Sex is totally rad! Especially if it’s with someone you barely know. Of course we know you want the experience to be memorable, so we have a couple ideas to make it a night you’ll never forget.

Start off with some some romantic music to set the mood. We recommend either Eminem or Kevin Federline. You could also turn down the lights and set some candles aflame, just like your passion for each other.

A lot of people mistakenly make their first time boring and trite. You can avoid this by having a threesome. Ask T-Bone if he has any friends who would be willing to offer their services for the evening. If he has more than one, invite them too. The more the merrier! Your parents were right about one thing: sharing is good.

-Flannel and Glitter

P.S. Bring a whip.

-Flannel.

P.P.S. Don’t forget your leather corset and chaps.

-Glitter.

P.P.P.S. Chaps are for men. Try edible underwear instead.

-Flannel

P.P.P.P.S. That’s right. Sorry, I don’t know anything about women's fetish clothing.

-Glitter

P.P.P.P.P.S. And don’t worry about condoms. You can’t get pregnant the first time.

-Flannel
