Me and Machine B

Ahhh...good times with good friends. Well... maybe it's more than just friends. Me and Machine B have been seeing quite a bit of each other lately, and actually, I think it's a lasting love that we have for each other. I've just never felt this way about a motor driven device before. How could you not fall in love with 100' of twisting coil?

Now, I know what you're thinking...how can you be so cold as to have someone on the side, while your loving wife is pregnant? Ready to pop any day. I really don't know. There must be some sort of disconnect from reality when we're spending time alone, down in my little dungeon of love.


The wife...oh she knows something is going on. She won't admit to it, but she knows. Every time I bring my "friend" over for a visit, she suddenly has an errand to run. And rarely does she come home before we've finished our business and cleaned up. It's almost as good as the guilt free pass.


I see so much of Machine B, that I thought it would be nice to have a portrait of us together. This will look sweeet as a 30x40 canvas print in my workshop.


I just have a problem with all the looks and stares as I push Machine B back and forth into my house. I know that my neighbors are talking about me. And so, it's here, on Pbase, that I proclaim my love for Machine B for all the world to see! I'm tired of hiding my feelings, and I just don't care who knows!

Lovin' the cheesy grin....It makes the whole picture. Kinda scares me that you seem so happy with the ever-elusive "machine B", though.....I can only imagine what you've been doing with it! Seriously, though...Looks like a commercial advertisement. Good shot!

You are too funny - give Margaret a hug for me - waiting for the day!!!!!

You know John, if you talked nice to Margaret, maybe Machine B could move in with you, stay in that little room in the basement, you could feed her once a month and never would the neighbors have to know a thing! (and in the long run, it might be cheaper than having to rent her as often as you do) Nice shot, taken low, just like you keep telling me!

Man this is funny....I'm still rolling over this one....Good one Mr. Buffin....

I am not so sure that without the cheesy, overly done smile this would have worked. The story is equally fantastic. I laughed through the whole thing. Well done John, all around. Good stuff.
