  • Real Life Pick-Up Lines

    Add Comment

     

    Cheeseball #248Cheeseball #248A few weeks ago, after  careful and extremely scientific Facebook research,  I posted some of the more interesting and unfortunate pick-up lines my friends endured. Unfortunately, some of those I queried were a tad slow in their responses. So, without further ado, a few more pick-up lines. And, again, it's the same as in Jackass, for the love of God, please do not try any of these at home. Also, in case you were wondering, the latest responses have proven beyond a doubt that all men within two degrees of separation from me are total and complete cheese balls.

  • Spinster? Sex Fiend? In-Between? Get Tested.

    It seems like we don’t hear much about HIV and AIDS anymore these days; in fact, South Park even did an episode about how cancer is today’s “big disease” and how AIDs just isn’t important anymore. Many people believe that since there have been so many advances in technology and treatment that HIV isn’t as much of a concern.

    But in reality, HIV still develops into AIDS. About 14,000 people die of AIDS every year. Every nine and a half minutes, someone in America is infected with HIV—and of the million people living with the virus, 20% don’t even know they’re infected. The longer you don’t know and treatment is delayed, the more your chances of survival decrease.

  • Crowd Control: How To Successfully Involve (or be) A Third

    Add Comment

    Monogamy can be a wonderful thing. Two people can achieve deep levels of intimacy by excluding physical and emotional relationships with other people, developing a partnership that can last a lifetime. But strict monogamy is not the only option, especially for those with the responsibility to be careful and educated about bringing other people into the relationship. Whether short or long term, bringing a third person into a romantic relationship, or being that third person, can be a rewarding experience. Of course, it's a narrow path through a minefield of potential emotional and physical problems. Here are some things you need to do before inviting someone else into your relationship, or joining someone else's established relationship.

  • Human Trafficking: Kidnapping, Rape and Modern Day Slavery

    1 Comment

    The word “traffick” conjures images of bumper-to-bumper taxi cabs, women applying lipstick in smudgy lines, and men screaming obscenities at whatever unfortunate creatures that happen to be deadlocked in front of them. After the award-winning fillm Traffick hit theaters, the public may have become more aware of what the word can really mean. But human trafficking, the most heinous form of the word, is the third largest industry on earth, just behind the arms and drug trades. (Hopefully Liam Neeson's latest hit movie Taken will alert the public as Traffic previously did.)

  • The Stench of a Woman

    2 Comments

    Perfume BottlePerfume BottleI hate your perfume.  Yes, I know it is probably expensive and has a French name with a rather delicate flower on the label. I know the bottle is crystal and that you feel womanly and sexy when you put it on, but I will say it again, I fricking hate your perfume.

    Whenever I step into an elevator with you, I feel like my skull is going to explode because your fricking expensive French perfume stinks to high hell. Not only this, you usually don't have the good sense to use it wisely, with discretion. ie, a little bit at a time. No, instead, you dowse your whole entire body with the she-ite as if you are ready to go into a chemical warfare battle.

  • Affairs: Is Anyone Loyal These Days?

    I am sure there are several couples who are not in the media who are and will stay loyal to their spouse, and the media always does the best with bringing out the worst, but you start to wonder, is anyone still loyal these days?

  • Free Boobs for Nurses

    Add Comment

    Hot NurseHot NurseIf you are a nurse who values a good boob job over a decent salary, the Czech Republic may just be the place for you.  We've all heard of a world-wide shortage of nurses and medical personnel, but did you know that nurses in the Czech Republic have "special" bonus incentives to keep them in the country? Complimentary German lessons, five weeks of vacation and free liposuction and silicone breast implants.

    The nurses can choose from a full range of surgical procedures and not surprisingly, "it has proved more popular than the free German lessons." One clinic has seen an increase in 10% in nursing applications since implementing the policy.

  • Girl Time=Increased Progesterone=Good Health

    Add Comment

    Girls on the TownGirls on the TownGossiping is good for your health. Thank God because I hate to think I've been wasting my time talking smack all of these years.

    In a recent University of Michigan study, 160 female university students were partnered up and given very different tasks. Half of the paired groups were told to edit and proofread a botany paper (I really hope they got paid for their time), while the other half was given a much better task- getting "chatty" with their partners and learning about their lives. The goal was to determine whether or not the progesterone levels of the students talking to each other would increase as opposed to the students given the responsibility of editing the botany paper.

  • Help: My friend is Married to a Jerk

    Add Comment

    Surfer Lifestyle=Pretty SweetSurfer Lifestyle=Pretty SweetWhat do you do when your friend is married to a jerk?  "Katie" (not her real name is case you were wondering) is not a cougar per se, but she is married to hot surfer from South-East Asia who just happens to be six years her junior. He not only surfs very well, he looks fantastic. He has long, dark hair, and a surfer's chest and abs. He also happens to be an extortionist and a free-loader.  

    She, being American and highly educated, has much more earning potential than he does, so has been footing the bills for the last five years of their marriage. They have no children and during this time, he has not only not worked, he has maintained a surfer's lifestyle on her dime while she has worked off and on in other countries to support his lazy ass.

  • Rebuild Your Life Month

    Add Comment

    Now there’s a gripping headline for a task. Sure, you might think, I’ll wear a pink ribbon for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and I’ll wear a red one on World AIDS Day… but rebuild my life? No thanks. Too much work. I will go back to my workaholic, eat-a-holic, sleepless, haphazard self, thanks.

    The thing is, it’s always the right time to make a change. It doesn’t take much. Alter your routine just a tiny bit, and then keep adding a little, and a little more time, until boom—the quality or habit you always wanted is now yours. Below are just a few things you can do to conquer your own life and start filling it up with the things you want in it.

  • Spinster

    Add Comment

    The current core definition for Spinster is according to the AHD:

    1. A woman who has remained single beyond the conventional age for marrying.
    2. A single woman.

    Spinster has been equated with "unmarried," in modern English. But historically, the third definition was the only meaning: " 3. A person whose occupation is spinning."

  • Redefining The "Real Man"

    1 Comment

    We're living at the beginning of a new century. Arbitrary as it is to expect radical innovation as a result, there's still a nice ring to the phrase, "In the 21st century". One of the developments I know I'd like to see in our culture is a general re-evaluation of gender roles. Speaking as a young male in this oh-so-swingin' century of ours, I believe there are certain qualities and responsibilities my gender ought to uphold in ourselves. Without a doubt, there is still such a thing as a "Real Man", it's just that the definition has changed as values have evolved. So, whether you're someone trying to be a man or someone looking for a man to be with, here are a few clear indicators of Real Man-ness.

  • The Numbers Game-How many is too many?

    Add Comment

    Sexual PartnersSexual PartnersBecause of AIDS, it is now almost mandatory to ask someone how many sexual partners they have had before you sleep with them. What's even more frightening is that is mandatory to tell all of your sexual partners how many people you have slept with, too. It's a kind of numbers game, and I think that women and men are not being judged equally still.

  • Drunk Girls

    3 Comments

    Is this a Mating Call?Is this a Mating Call?I know that "I'm so drunk" is viewed as a mating call by the cheesier half of our species. Friends don't let friends drive drunk. But, seriously, should friends let friends sleep with guys they shouldn't? I have a rule about this, if I am out with a single girlfriend, and she meets a guy she wouldn't sleep with after four drinks, there is no way, no how, I am going to give that guy the chance to sleep with her after ten drinks.

  • Free the Condoms!

    Add Comment

    Personally, I think condoms should be free—or at least dirt cheap, and definitely covered as a type of health cost. I know that some gynecologists and clinics give them out for free, but with so many doctor’s offices distributing free samples of Claritin and other drugs, why don’t they all give out condoms? After all, not everyone needs allergy medication—but most people could use a condom sometime in their lives.

    Dirty Old Man!Dirty Old Man!I never realized how many dirty old men there are out in this world.  What is really pathetic are the ones that are married and are still dirty towards other females (if only their wife could see what they were doing).  Why are men like this?

    The 30'sThe 30'sThere are certain advantages to getting older. Wrinkles, sun-spots, a saggier body and increasingly yellower teeth are not among them. Despite the downward trend in my physical appearance, I am happier, more self aware, and slightly more confident than I was in my 20's.

    Tramp StampTramp StampMaureen Dowd recently posed the question, "To Tweet or not to Tweet". As prodigious of a writer as she is, I somehow don't think she came up with that all by herself. So, my question, following along the same lines, is "To Tramp-Stamp or not to Tramp-Stamp"? This my friends, is a question for the ages and one that should be truly considered.

    Thailand Lady BoysThailand Lady BoysSome time spent on the beaches of Thailand taught me that not all ladies are created equally in the eyes of man. That is to say, not all ladies have the same body parts. The "lady-boys" or "Katoys" of Thailand have fooled more than one drunk tourist and even a beauty pageant judge into thinking that they were 100% female.

  • Friends with Benefits

    Add Comment

    Casual SexCasual Sex"Friends with Benefits" has existed for all of eternity, but has sometime in the last decade gained popularity as a term to describe sexual encounters with friends on a strictly casual basis. Whether or not this is a good thing is not for me to judge, but sometimes I wonder whether the women involved in this situation really benefit from the "arrangement" as much as the men.

    Check out the fine specimens below. Not only do we girls have the pressure to look hot for the possible normal guys we may happen to meet when we Sexy?Sexy?are out and about, we also have to put up with the jerks around us who have nothing better to do than get hammered and harass enough women in the hopes that one of us will be either drunk enough, blind enough, or quite possibly deaf enough to go home with them.
