Does everyone know what a "steeley dan" really is?

[thefool_wa]

Quick! Answer before the thread gets locked!

(with all the posts about the band I thought we should all be clear on this issue :))

[ok_cpu]

1. Yes

I do like dil pickles.

:evilgrin:

[thefool_wa]

14. That's great!

Dil pickles do it for me too.

[idgiehkt]

2. I don't

and I have trouble sometimes with euphemisms, so spell it out really clearly, ok?

[Blue-Jay]

4. Rent "Looking For Mr. Goodbar".

or read it, guess...

[idgiehkt]

8. I have to rent a movie to find out the definition of a word?

no fair.

[Blue-Jay]

10. You'd be doing yourself a favor. It's a good movie.

[idgiehkt]

12. okey-dokey

I harldy every rent movies (I'm about to lose my queer cred for not even having seen "Brokeback Mountain" yet) but if'n there comes a time when I'm renting some I'll check it out...

[struggle4progress]

59. Or read William Burrough's Naked Lunch

[Floogeldy]

6. It is a sexual tool.

Ahem.

[idgiehkt]

7. Is it something we can't say on DU?

will it get the thread locked or something?

[Floogeldy]

9. I think it is a dildo.

[idgiehkt]

11. I was hoping to drag this out a little more...

hmmm, that's interesting. Wonder why it's called 'steely'. Steel seems rather cold and unappealing...

[thefool_wa]

15. Apparently

In the 60's the first line of stainless steel marital aids was produced, and they were actualy called the "Steeley Dan" model.

[idgiehkt]

20. "marital aids"?

:rofl:

okay. warm that sucker up, though.

[thefool_wa]

23. I'm sorry

I was trying to be tactful, but if you're going to laugh I'll just say it:

DILDO!

:rofl: :rofl:

on edit: over 1000 posts since may! WOW, that's impressive. Welcome Aboard!

[idgiehkt]

27. I wasn't laughing at you

I can just totally see that on the box, "marital aids... to help with your heterosexual, monogamous marriage", because God knows the only people that ever use dildos are married heterosexuals, lol. Sorry if you thought it was you I was laughing at...my snark was aimed at the p.r.

on edit: it's obvious I have a big mouth and I'm short on tact...I'll try to mend my ways.

[thefool_wa]

34. Oh, go ahead and laugh, I don't mind

I was being funny by taking the terminology back to how it would have been billed back then. Marital Aid is probably the dumbest ass name for a vibrator I have ever heard. If we want a marital aid we'll invite my wife's girlfriend over :)

Snark away, I'll make more :)

no hurt feelings....

[Blue-Jay]

3. I know!

[Zomby Woof]

5. I have read 'The Naked Lunch', yes

[xmas74]

40. So have I.

I thought everyone knew what it meant.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

13. A fucking dildo.

From Naked Lunch.

Any Danfan knows that!

[thefool_wa]

16. Don't use obscure euphamisms

Just come out and say it why don't you!

:sarcasm:

:) :) :)

[WritingIsMyReligion]

29. Well, hell, pussy-footing around does nada...

:evilgrin:

[idgiehkt]

22. is there any other band that sounds like them?

I think not.

Here's to Steely Dan for carving out a unique sound, all the while named for an instrument of sexual pleasure.

:headbang:

[thefool_wa]

26. Lots of grunge

is filled with buzzing noise, does that count?

[idgiehkt]

28. you so

mean...I love grunge too but they don't really remind me of Steely Dan...no one does, really.

[thefool_wa]

31. Oh, you were talking about the band

I thought you meant the other Steeley Dan...

(I am so surprised this thread hasn't denigrated into discussion worthy of being locked, I have failed miserably)

[idgiehkt]

32. perfect example

that was suxh an incredible double entendre and my dense ass missed it completely...sorry, it's a thing with me, I can't help it.

Bravo, though.

[thefool_wa]

35. Just one more service i provde (nt)

:rofl:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

30. The answer is "No," of course.

:D :P :D

[Writer]

17. If only their music was just as stimulating...

:hide:

[bleedingheart]

91. bwahahahaha

[Wapsie B]

18. IBTL

I honestly never knew that one.

[thefool_wa]

19. Unknown Acronym Alert...

Define IBTL for me, I am having a lapse at the moment.

[Critters2]

21. In before the lock

You know, before the thread gets locked, as happens with sexual threads.

No sex....much like rl for me!

[RetroLounge]

36. "much like rl for me!"

Hey! Whatdoyamean?

RL

[Critters2]

37. Yep...I'm celibate

Pretty much. Tho a priest friend pointed out that, technically, I wouldn't meet the Catholic Church's definition of celibate. That's right--it could be worse.

:yoiks:

[thefool_wa]

54. Hey, no sex is no sex

It takes strength to go the distance with planned celibacy. Kudos! (and just because you aren't "priest celibate" doesn't mean that it don't count).

I think including actual definitions of celibacy would be the straw that broke the moderators back and get this locked. So feel free to elaborate.

Fortunately for me I have no such compulsions. But I am married to the most beautiful woman in the world and she would kill me if I ever talked of celibacy (not that I would mind you) - that or hold me to it :) which would be WAAAAAAY worse than death!

[Critters2]

58. Two words: Electric boyfriend

Or should I say battery-powered plastic dan.

[MissB]

24. "In Before The Lock"

[Wapsie B]

25. In before the lock

[MrScorpio]

33. Yes, we do

Old news

[TheFriendlyAnarchist]

38. How is this not looked? It's about, God forbid, MASTURBATION!

[Critters2]

39. Give it time nt

[TheFriendlyAnarchist]

42. No! Threads about self love should be locked immediately!!

:hide:

[thefool_wa]

48. I'm actually disappointed

I was hoping for this to be my first locked thread.

Is there no moderator who will usurp my sultry attempt and baudy conversation!


:cry: :cry:

[TheFriendlyAnarchist]

51. I know! They locked my thread about pubic hair, why not this?

:cry: :cry:

[thefool_wa]

55. Sleeping at the wheel (nt)

[idgiehkt]

41. what?

I thought this was a music thread...

where am I? :shrug:

[Critters2]

43. Yeah, that's what it is....

a music thread. B-)

[idgiehkt]

44. I'm relieved

because god knows I'd never be involved in a sex thread....

[Blue-Jay]

85. looked?

[TheFriendlyAnarchist]

95. yes. Looked.

[Fuzz]

45. I saw you at Rudy's, you were VERY high

[WritingIsMyReligion]

46. I can't cry anymore, while you run around...

Break away,
Just when it seems so clear
That it's over now
Drink your big black cow
And get out of here...

[thefool_wa]

49. That wasn't me...

I swear! I don't even know a guy named Rudy!

:) :rofl:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

52. Do you know a guy named Deacon Blues?

How about a chick named Aja?

;)

[Critters2]

53. No, we got nuthin' in common. We can't dance at all.

I loved that album. I'm old.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

63. Which one?

Aja or Gaucho?

Because tonight when I chase the dragon...

:D

[thefool_wa]

64. Chase the dragon...

Now there's a euphamism I know!

[WritingIsMyReligion]

67. And it's referred to in an SD song!

:rofl:

[thefool_wa]

70. Wow

Good to know that wierd names for self-pleasuring devices come and go but drug references remain the same...

:)

[WritingIsMyReligion]

72. Oh, the 'Dan is riddled with drug references.

All sorts of 'em. ;)

[yellowdogintexas]

106. the water will change to cherry wine....

[thefool_wa]

56. I have a feeling

I am being subject to song lyrics I am unfamiliar with. :shrug:

Please note that I am a much bigger fan of the Steeley Dan that I started th thread over than the Steeley Dan which tours. I've never even heard a song by them...

[Critters2]

61. Proof positive

I'm old.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

65. Yes, you are.

:evilgrin:

The "Rudy's" line is from the SD song "Black Cow," off of the album Aja. "Deacon Blues" and "Aja" are songs from that album as well.

[thefool_wa]

66. Thanks for cathcing me up

I was a little lost there...

[WritingIsMyReligion]

69. No problem.

:)

:hi:

[Critters2]

68. Isn't "Hey 19" from Aja, too?

[WritingIsMyReligion]

71. No, "Hey Nineteen" is GAUCHO.

Gaucho is even sleeker than Aja, but Aja has more soul.

[Critters2]

73. Yep, you're right

Now that I think about it.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

75. I know a lot of 'Dan titles and the corresponding albums.

Especially the big-namers. :D

:hi:

[Critters2]

76. My college roommate had a great stereo and lots of albums

I listened to hers (or was in the room when she did) and bought very few of my own. She had both of these. Boy, did I miss her when I went to grad school!

[WritingIsMyReligion]

77. AJA is definitely worth a pick-up.

No matter what medium you get it on. Sublime album.

[thefool_wa]

78. HEY!

The actual Steeley Dan thread is

<------- over there!

We are trying to have an off color discusion of a frank an sexual nature here. Please keep your legitimate band discussion in the proper place.

:rofl:

(I hope the sarcasm there came across without the smiley, I'm just pullin yer chain)

[WritingIsMyReligion]

80. Oops. Sorry.

My thread sank, though. So yours is convienient. :P

So. Off-color topics, eh?

[thefool_wa]

79. HEY!

The actual Steeley Dan thread is

<------- over there!

We are trying to have an off color discusion of a frank an sexual nature here. Please keep your legitimate band discussion in the proper place.



(I hope the sarcasm there came across without the smiley, I'm just pullin yer chain)

[Critters2]

81. If I were a mod

I'd be locking this, ya know! :)

[WritingIsMyReligion]

83. Ah, but you aren't.

So there's no need to give them any ideas, 'k?

:P

[Critters2]

84. Yup, I aren't

and I've never understood the rule against frank and mature discussions, anyway. I mean, I understand the rule...I just don't see why.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

86. Because this discussion is the epitome of maturity.

:evilgrin:

[Critters2]

87. Ain't it, though? nt

[WritingIsMyReligion]

89. Well, I'm listening to AJA right now.

So anything makes sense at this moment. :evilgrin:

"Deacon Blues" is the tops, though. Wow.

Learn to work the saxophone...

:bounce:

[Critters2]

93. Great, great album

Kids today don't know what they're missing. :)

[WritingIsMyReligion]

96. Well, I'm not missing anything.

All I want for my 15th is Pretzel Logic and maybe Katy Lied.

:P

[thefool_wa]

88. Hon, if a mod was reading

This thread would already have been locked!

;) :) :P

[Critters2]

90. My point precisely

While the cat's away, the mice should play!


Keep your eyes peeled for a cat!

[WritingIsMyReligion]

94. I haven't seen a mod in a while now.

They must be hottubbing.

Either that or checking the validity of the statement that Steely Dan is, indeed, a dildo.

First-hand experience, and all...

:evilgrin:

Locking in 3, 2,...

:P

[WritingIsMyReligion]

92. They got a name for the winners in the world.

And we sure ain't winners right now.

:P

Sorry. Another 'Dan ref.

[Critters2]

97. I want a name when I lose

Oh, wait...it's mycritters2!

[WritingIsMyReligion]

98. They call Alabama the Crimson Tide...

Roll, tide, roll!

:crazy:

[bridgit]

47. yup, like a baby's arm holding an apple...

:-)

[thefool_wa]

50. Wow!

Now that was tasteless and un-called-for!

EXCELLENT!

:rofl:

[begin_within]

82. She was merely quoting "What Do You Want From Life?" by The Tubes

[Rabrrrrrr]

57. No, not everyone.

I'd be surprised, anyway, if everyone knew.

[thefool_wa]

60. I actually only found out a couple of months ago

Around the time they grabbed another couple of minutes of fame by slamming Owen Wilson for the Dupree movie.

Maybe they should sue a vibrator company if they are that hard up for press.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

74. I really don't think Fagen and Becker care about press.

:evilgrin:

But the Owen Wilson business was funny. Only Steely Dan could earn a bit of fame for a joke--which it largely was, I bet you, if Fagen and Becker are still Fagen and Becker, though it does have some uncanny truth to it--like that one.

[Critters2]

62. I don't think there are any moderators around

Cat's away!

[alarimer]

99. well I guess it's true you learn something every day

I must lead a sheltered life not to know this.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

100. Where HAVE you been hiding, cat?

:P

:silly:

Peg! It will come back to you!

:bounce:

[Critters2]

104. It's your favorite foreign movie nt

[WritingIsMyReligion]

105. Now I am on to "Home at Last."

Well, the danger on the rocks is surely past....

:P

[Critters2]

101. It's not knowing....

it's LOOKING like you know.

That's my secret.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

102. Bwah!

:rofl:

[Critters2]

103. Really,

a little piece of wisdom that has served me well over the years.

[TheFriendlyAnarchist]

107. Can someone explain how this isn't locked YET? Seriously, the mods

are falling behind here

[Blue_In_AK]

108. Never mind.

[fishnfla]
