The comic strip Jump Start once had a Sunday strip (24 April '94) in which main character Marcy discovered that her husband Joe disagreed with her about the proper way to say a certain well-known expression:  she was sure it was "Kitten caboodle," while he insisted it was "Kit and caboodle." She inquired among their friends and relatives and was astonished to realize that "Everybody is using the wrong expression except for me!"

If you want to see what that looked like in real life, go to Margate, NJ and check out "Lucy", the other one they built, which is still around:

Even better, it's on AirBnB if you want to stay overnight in it.  ($138!)

If I correctly recall the video I saw on the origin of Coney Island, I think the thing was supposed to be a brothel.

Yeah, I kind of swear it's "you can go without a bra, right?" and "just use one of those self-stick supporters" from some of these clothing makers.

Uh, no, and uh, no. This is, sadly, not up for debate. And I'm not buying a bra just for one single top.

(Sorry, I may have gone into Rant Mode. Ask me about pockets sometime.)

I used to date a woman who had the build to buy slacks and jeans in the men's department, and did so. I know where you're coming from re pockets.

Yeah, and it really, really doesn't help that I'm pretty much a skirt girl at heart. It's bad enough with jeans and usable pockets (and I refuse outright to buy pants with illusion pockets that can't even be used for quarters, much less anything of volume, if you can put in the illusion of a pocket, you can put in a damned real pocket), but skirts and dresses I think I have one of each that have any sort of pockets.

I'm going to need to just make more skirts so I can have more pockets. Even enough to put my cell phone in would make me nice and happy.

The weirdest thing is, it used to be that skirts had pockets. Sure, often cunningly disguised pockets, but pockets. And not those 'you'd be lucky to fit a single coin' pockets either. Deep ones that'll fit your hand with room left over.
