HNT - Not Always Better
So... this afternoon I got some spam today that hinted I enlarge my penis by 3". As it happens I was unpacking decades old boxes and found strong evidence it's not always true that bigger is better.
Funny fact: While it's the size and shape of actual cell phones in the late 1980s, that's actually a water bottle some business promoter was handing out at a health club one day.
Update: I've corrected the typo in the title. I think it's all the spam I get -- the title for one I got as I was composing this post said "Ram ladies with your enlarged pinis." Whatever that is.
Happy HNT (or Half-nekkid Thursday!)

Random Stuff





Oh, I remember the big phones! You're right, definitely not better in this instance. (But as a water bottle? That's pretty cool!)
You saw that you were one of my HNT favourites last week, right?
xx Dee
[Hi Dee. Yes I saw last week but I'm still just so flipping backed up in real-life my comment responses are just down the drain. My sincerest apologies for not replying to yours. And thanks for your kind words! Happy HNT. --fl]
Oh I agree bigger is not always better! LOL - like your photo - especially of the dinosaur phone - hehehe - Happy HNT!!! :)
[It was funny back when I got it. Who knew it would be educational and illustrative now? :-) Thanks, Baby! Happy HNT to you too. --fl]
I agree whether you are talking about a phone or any other instrument... however I haven't seen one in about 3 months...sigh.
[Yikes, LM! I hadn't seen that "phone" since maybe 1990 but I'm highly sympathetic at your three-month wait! Good luck! Happy HNT too. --fl]
Nice examples there.
HHNT!
[Thanks, BW. You're looking extra sharp(ie) this week. Happy HNT to you too. --fl]
Oh my. I wrote a big report on "mobile phones" for the California Public Utilities Commission when I worked there - which was about the time when cell phones looked like your, uh, water bottle. Are you suggesting I missed a major application?
[Nah, those phones didn't even vibrate when they rang. :-) Thanks, Sungold. --fl]
Wow. I'm afraid to say I don't even really remember cell phones being that large. :)
No, bigger is not always better indeed. Happy HNT!
[Hey, and those were considered amazingly *small* compared to the ones that were around just a year or two before. For that matter I'm pretty sure Rabbit-style vibrators were either not yet introduced or else very, very new back then. Who says there's no such thing as progress? Thanks, Ms.I. And happy HNT to you too. --fl]
A water bottle like that kept me giggling for hours one night.
[Yup. I remember totally cracking up when I saw the first one. We all thought the real thing was so pretentious back then. 20 years later and they're indispensable. Thanks, Darkneuro. --fl]
Those big ones didn't last as long either :-) Happy HNT.
[Exactly! Excellent point, LR. Thanks! And Happy HNT to you too. --fl]
When you said "it's the size and shape of. . ." I definitely interpreted the antecedent of "it" to be your penis. . .and I got a little too excited. Now that I noticed it referred to the water bottle, I'm still excited; I want one! Hehe!
But you're right: while a tiny cock will probably never get the job done, an average or even large cock worn by an irresponsible owner probably won't either. It's funny how many times I've had to say that this week. Heh.
Happy HNT, sexy!
[Nope, I'm neither as large as the fake phone, nor small as the little phone. But I've always tried to be enthusiastic and conscientious about my perfectly average self. Thanks, Ser. And happy HNT to you too. --fl]
i remember those large phones .. so heavy, weighing down my bag.
The imagery of well-washed cotton against a firm, tanned thigh is perfect; you have undone me, figleaf
[Thanks for your very kind words, Carnalis! --fl]
Lol! In this instance, I definitely prefer smaller. =x Great post. Big chunky cell phones like that bottle is meant to mimic look so silly to me now. Happy HNT!
[Thanks, AR. I totally get that some people enjoy large ones but I also totally get that small ones fit more places more comfortably. Like one's pants. :-) Happy HNT to you too. --fl]
Now that's the kind of birthday present I'm talking about. You look great in those pictures and bigger is definitely not better in that case.
[Hey, happy birthday, KS! Glad you enjoyed the photos! Thanks. --fl]
*snort* Remember those BAG phones?! LOLOL
I can just imagine the spam you get on your site. *shaking head* ....
happyHNT Love :)
[The spam's always a drag but I have some of the best real commenters in the world. Thanks, Vixen. And happy HNT to you too. --fl]
Ok that is hysterical. And I have to agree with the fact that bigger isn't always better on either account!
Happy HNT!!
~Lily
[Thank you, Lily! Happy HNT to you too. --fl]
I get offers to enlarge my penis all the time. It's so damaging to my self-esteem...
[Every now and then I wish I was bigger. But then every now and then I wish I was smaller too. On average, though, I'm very glad I'm average. :-) Thanks, Biscuit. And happy HNT. --fl]
I know I was supposed to be looking at that "portable" phone, but I couldn't get past those forearms of yours *wink*
[Glad you like my forearms, Dana. Thanks for reminding me that not all erogenous zones get covered up in normal wear. --fl]
Weren't they awful?!? We found my moms old "bag phone" for the car, ohmygawd it was funny.
Yes, it took me a minute to notice the little phone, too, was distracted ;)
HHNT!
[Do you remember when they were even bigger, the ones with the big battery and the separate handset? I think Gucci (sp?) made designer cases for them. Glad you were distracted too. Happy HNT. --fl]
Those huge phones were something else back in the day!
Happy HNT!
[Thanks, Rage. Happy HNT to you too. --fl]
oooo i remember those phones! i even had a car phone that HAD to be plugged into the lighter, had it's own case and there was cord for the receiver... damn i'm showing my age now! poo!
[The car phones were something else. Since I got around a lot by hitch-hiking back then I got to see a couple. As I recall calls were a dollar a minute or more too. Thanks, Essence. --fl]
Let me grab that phone to make a call! ;)
HappyHNT!
My HNT!
[Thanks, Mariposa! Happy HNT to you too. --fl]
