<AMY>: Did not think you would actually cut the tie! Greg, I hope you find another one and they will leave you alone and let you wear it!!
2007-02-16 05:47:40.0
WHNT Moderator: Oh, Greg has plenty of ties. Most of his others look pretty good. He generally has good taste in ties, I think.. but this one was rough. :))

<Valeria>: greg..of course the booth rental was obtained buy just giving the business name. I wish i could remember it. It was very innocuous sounding until you knew it was sex toys

<JimJr>: Valeria i dont agree with that i think whoever was in charge of the fair should not have let them in
2007-02-16 05:49:03.0
<d.c.shields>: There is a time and place for all things. A public display of sex toys is not in good taste, however, I do NOT want anyone to dictate whether or not I can purchase them.

<d.c.shields>: Our motto was, "Classy, not trashy" and if we ever did a booth, we were NEVER allowed to display toys, only lotions, potions, discreet lingerie, etc.
2007-02-16 05:52:06.0
<Mart>: I'll be back to vote !
2007-02-16 05:52:11.0
<Valeria>: OK, here's a little blurb about it I found on the net....Katherine Williams was kicked out of the public library's community flea market in Spring Hill, Tennessee, in October because she offered for sale a yellow duck-shaped bath sponge, larger than a football, that happened to vibrate (to the delight of her child, she said); city officials (who were apparently focused on the word "vibrate") concluded that it must be a sex toy and said her booth violated the town's adult-business law.
2007-02-16 05:52:36.0
<Colleen>: Hmmm I'm female and I really didn't see anything wrong with that tie,,,,Claire's blouse wasn't any nicer do you get to cut it off her?

<Vanessa Schaarschmidt>: What's the big deal on this pleasure place. This is a business you choose to go in, does that mean bars should be closed because I don't like bars either.
