Sex bolts.

[dalesql]

For Valentines day, I got to go to the store and buy some sex bolts. And I have to admit, my inner twelve-year-old is taking inordinate glee in letting folks know I have to do that. *giggles*

Yes, they are a real hardware item, Also called chicago screw or barrel nut.

Google Images made me scroll rather a lot to see very little in the way of content likely to titillate our inner twelve-year-olds. But it did offer up lots and lots of photos of bright'n'shiny sex bolts in a variety of lengths and widths.

See you soon!
