Pop into the Buttonarium. You may find it fasten-ating.

I read that as "Butterarium" at first glance and thought that you had misspelled "fatten-ating".

Punny you should say that, cortex. I read it as "Buttarium," and thought "Assin-ating" had been misspelled.

This is exactly like when I was little and visited my grandmother. If I complained about being bored or got too rowdy, she'd shut me up by giving me a giant jar of buttons and forcing me to count them.

Punny you should say that, It's Raining Florence Henderson. I read it as "Muttonarium," and thought "feasten-ating" had been misspelled.

*needles brain_drain for beating me to awful joke* I guess I'm just . . . WAIT FOR IT . . . reaping what I've "sewn." See what I did there? That's totally not the right word! And I used it anyway, as a pun! And that is how you comedy.

tastybrains: You're lucky your grandmother wasn't my neighbor, who has almost two million buttons. This thread is already getting naughty, and we haven't mentioned the buttonholer.

"Baby Got Tack" [Intro] Oh, my, god. Becky, look at her buttons. They're so big. *scoff* She looks like, one of those designer guys' girlfriends. But, y'know, who understands those designer guys? *scoff* They only talk to her, because, she looks like a total seamstress, 'kay? I mean, her buttons, just so big. *scoff* I can't believe they're just so round, it's like, out there, I mean - gross. Look! She's just so ... buttoned! [Sir Mix-a-Lot] I like big buttons and I can not lie You other brothers can't deny That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty sweater A round thing pinning it together You get sewn, wanna pull out your buff 'Cause you notice that button was stuffed Deep in the sweater she's wearing I'm latch-hooked and I can't stop staring Oh baby, I wanna get wit'cha And knit your feat-chas My homeboys tried to warn me But with that button you got makes me feel so horny Ooh, Button-o'-sweaterin' You say you wanna get with my Singer? Well, use me, use me 'Cause you ain't that average clothier I've seen them stitchin' The hell with tattin' She's a sweater set, Got it goin' like a serger, weft I'm tired of patterns Sayin' small buttons are the thing Take the average tailor and ask him that She gotta tack much placket So, fellas! (Yeah!) Fellas! (Yeah!) Has your girlfriend got the button? (Hell yeah!) Tell 'em to shake it! (Shake it!) Shake it! (Shake it!) Shake that shiny button! Baby got tack! (LA fabric with New England clasp) Baby got tack! I'm so not doing the rest of the song. That's trauma enough for one day.
