    Just one more thing ma’am…

      heh heh

      To those who are fewer than 25 yrs old …thees ees a specific reference,
      to a tv cops show BEFORE CABLE television existed !!!! [dun dun DUN]

      [actually I'm goin' out on a limb sayin' that but I'm pretty certain of the dates involved]

      • Gigi says:

        You are being kind, the original series was from 1971 to 1978, that’s the one I remember most. But there were Columbo TV movies after that and they ended in 2003. I always forget that not everyone is as old as I am :lol:

        • kimmaroo says:

          I attended high school and college from 1971 to 1978 and I remember Columbo (and that line) very well. I actually saw Peter Falk in person on a business trip to L.A. in 1991. We were driving thru a residential section of Beverly Hills and he was driving a Jeep Wrangler with the top down. He was stopped to make a left turn and we were headed in the opposite direction. If I hadn’t been with business colleagues, I probably would have rolled the window down and asked him to repeat after me, “Just one more thing ma’am…”

    • Rosewolf says:

      Columbo rocks!!! I wasn’t even born till ’83, but I have seen every movie and episode. Love that show.

    Ham and eggs?

    I know we’ll have nuffers, and I have plenty of popcorn ready for the inevitable . . . (passes around white ceramic bowl with “popcorn” in blue letters, filled to the brim with salted buttery goodness . . . )
    But I’ve gotta be honest. . . a rack is a great place to carry stuff ‘specially when your hands are full. Not to mention that it is a lovely, soft, warm, calming place for wee vulnerable ones to snuggle in, which, frankly, is why we have las boobitas in the first place.

    • Sharpy says:

      i wonder if you have just written the official explanation for our love of the boobehs on CO.

      • Fird Birfle says:

        *excusing self from this round,
        since I’m sometimes a bit nuffy about Racks photos ….*

        Signed,
        YUP.
        I DEFINITELY ‘got milk’.

    • Bluebird says:

      So true that it’s a safe place for little ones. My rat liked to hide there now and then, especially if we were in a scary place (i.e. the Vet or sometimes the World). Mystery writer Patricia Highsmith was said to keep pet snails in her bra–now that’s dedication.

    • Moo says:

      Las boobitas (or biocides as my phone helpfully suggested) = yayy!

    • kimmaroo says:

      Plus, a rack is a handy place to stash your big bills. Not that I’ve ever tried that. I’m just sayin’….. *looks up and whistles innocently*

      • Angel says:

        I once lost a twenty dollar bill in las boobitas and was embarrassed to have to fish for it. Now I stash my cash in my wallet. Gack!

      • BB/VA says:

        Also good for spare Kleenex. I learned that from my MIL.

      • Fird Birfle says:

        @ kimmarroo –
        ??? There are “BIG” bills ????? who knew? Certainly not moi.

        *goes over to search behind sofa cushions,
        for spare change to buy Ramen for dinner*

      • victoreia says:

        Not to mention, a natural repository for escaped popcorn while at the movies……

    Hammie looks a bit squooshed, but content. :-)

  5. RJ says:

    Either that’s a huge hamster or a very petite woman.

  6. SlaveToCat says:

    Automated zipper puller upper.

  7. ashagato says:

    umm….is this a dig about the girl being somewhat petite on the chest area?

  8. jen says:

    is this unusual? i always keep my hammies there.

  9. Loris says:

    I love everything about this, but particularly I love that he seems to be doing the Tiniest Gangsta Lean.

    • Skip says:

      He does! That one casual arm (leg).

    • Fird Birfle says:

      WOW
      I’m so nerdy and unaware, that I di-unt even KNOW ’bout a
      Gangsta Lean. Color me impressed with this social information. Thx!

    • pyrit says:

      Gangsta hamstah!

      • ratchic says:

        I have a pic of a rat that has a ‘gangsta lean’, not in my rack though, or it would’ve been more of a falling off the edge of a cliff kind of look….

        I should submische it!

      • Fird Birfle says:

        @ pyrit ….
        your phrase “Gangsta hamstah” leads, nearly unavoidably, to the observation
        “It’s HAMSTA time !!!!!”

        …… [at least, it did, within the cobwebs in MY cerebellum.... :) ]

  10. Jeffray says:

    That’s not a nice thing to say to a lady!

    (They’re not THAT small… I mean, they probably aren’t! I wouldn’t know, ’cause I didn’t look! Honestly!)

  11. flutterby says:

    Yeeeeowwwch!

  12. T.U.M. says:

    What do we get six more weeks of, if he sees his shadow?

  13. Hey, it’s warm and cushy, and full of snacks! Oh don’t go there….
