Didn't they also make hardware FOR different sized nuts?

A friend of Marty's (female, unschooled) who is 18 asked me if it would be
okay with me if she gets him a gift certificate for Castle Superstore for his
birthday Tuesday. He's turning fourteen. She wants to do it as a gag gift.
Castle Superstore is a VERY large porn shop, in the full size building of
what used to be Standard Brands Paint, which sold paint, flooring and art
supplies for most of my life.

I was surprised 18 year olds could go in there, but she said they could.

So I said I doubted the certificate would last until he was 18, and that he
would probably just be happy to put it on his wall, but he might want to send
someone to actually get him something before it expires. She said SHE
wouldn't go get him something.

I've been in there. There is a whole wall of dildos. But the reason I went
in was to get a t-shirt for a friend in England who asked me to look for it
and it turned out that's the only store that had one. It was Horton the
elephant sitting in a tree (I think) with money in his... hand [foot?] and
there was a very Dr.-Seuss-looking woman posing in a cartoon sexy pose, and
it said:

"Horton Hires a Ho"

It was very strange being in that store, because it is SO big, you can't hide
like you can in a little dark little nasty-movie store (where I made Keith
take me once, but he wouldn't rent anything because he's shy and a little
prudish). This is BRIGHT and OPEN and I'm OLD and the fairly predominant
mother of Several Children.

It's like WalMart.

Dh and I went to that store once when the kids were gone for a weekend.
They have several of those stores here in Phoenix.
You're right, that store is the Walmart of sex stores.
I was very overwhelmed!
We didn't buy anything. But it was fun browsing. <g>
