No f***ing way.
I'm amazed. The Vermont Country Store has a website. This is a little like discovering that your grandparents are still having sex, but without all the weirdness*.
For those of you who were raised in a cave, The Vermont Country Store is a company that carries products that make you say, "I had no idea they still even made that." For example, Chatty Cathy dolls, hot water bottles and home hair-drying helmets. My mother loved the VCS; we ALWAYS had a tin of Common Crackers on the kitchen counter, and to this day she carries some Beeman's gum in her purse. I am so going to place an order. _______ * Not that I have anything against the elderly having sex. In fact, when I was in graduate school, specializing in sex therapy, I had a class that focused on "sexuality throughout the life course." The professor felt that, in general, people are uncomfortable with the sex lives of older people because people don't see very much elder love. So, in order to make us more comfortable, he showed us videos of people over the age of 80 having sex. I'm not kidding. |
