Now for the fellas who are having that kind of issue with their ladies, maybe this will help. A handy User’s Guide, about women by a woman, about which we learned by passing through The Saloon.

And finally, how can any comment about The Sisterhood be considered complete, without a nod to the classic Ladder Theory.

Everybody Hates Bluetooth

Monday, March 19th, 2007

Funny video about a man running into WAGTOCPAN on a bluetooth. Twice.

I have a list of bluetooth etiquette rules that I keep forgetting to upload. Someday I’ll have to get on the stick about that. Of course, since I actually have a bluetooth and use it regularly, my list is different from most others…Don’t use the damn thing isn’t on my version. If memory serves, rule #1 is actually something like “Talk about important crap or don’t talk at all,” which applies to non-bluetooth cell phone users as well.

We bluetooth users do have pet peeves of our own, believe it or not. Yes, we do. For starters, whether you feel yourself abused and somehow entitled to do so, or not, it does nothing to help you or anyone around you to come up to us and start a conversation with us about how cool it is that we have a hands-free earpiece while we are already on the phone with someone. What is this, some kind of misguided sense of retribution? Like “you’re self-important and I have to figure out what’s going on, so I’m going to act self-important and you can try to figure out what I’m doing while you’re on the phone and that oughtta show you?”

Some of us really do stay off the phone unless it’s really important. And then we tell the other person, “okay, we’ll have to pick this up later because I’m going into a meeting (theater) (restaurant) etc. etc. etc.”

So save it for the clamshell people. It bears repeating. Save it for the clamshell people. Why are they spared all this wrath. They tend to be the ones jibber-jabbering nonstop about nothing, which is a paradox I’ve never entirely understood. “Oh nothin’…what’re YOU doing? Really? Cool!”

And for the record, the sexy brunette is being just plain rude. In such situations, you make eye contact with the confused person — point vigorously at your ear. Unless you’re playing a bluetooth practical joke, which incidentally stops being funny much sooner than you think.

Remake of 1984

It is unknown who produced the ad, which features Hillary Clinton speaking on television screens…Officials from Obama’s campaign have denied any involvement in creating the ad.

So earlier in the week it was Penis Day over at Miss Cellania’s. Which means it’s a special day over there…or was on Tuesday. Incidentally, when you’re a single dad and your kid is over for the night, that’s work. So means I don’t get to look at stuff. It’s Friday and I’m just getting my first opportunity now to look at stuff she put up Tuesday. Hey, life’s full of little challenges.

Just my opinion, but raunchy SNL skits are hilariously funny and should be replicated by everyone, immediately. Yeah, even now.

It’s , I think I said. Got that everybody? . So don’t click if you’re at work, or have a moppet looking over your shoulder, or are one yourself. Got it? Good. On with the show.

Memo For File XXXIX

The name of the song is Ailein Duinn. Karen Matheson sings it in this movie, which is highly underrated, at 0:47:46.

It is the same hymn you hear in this video game as soon as you boot it up. And, when Lara is in a motorcycle chase in Kazakhstan. And Paraíso.

It’s the same music. Not very many people know that.

Fifteen Strange Products

Tuesday, March 6th, 2007

Check out this list, within which the “Girlfriend’s Lap Pillow” is Number Eleven…
Girlfriend's Lap

This rather unique pillow, known as the Girlfriend’s Lap Pillow, is supposed to let us chaps feel at ease by snuggling up to it when our partners are not at home.

And, whilst by no means a substitute for the real thing, I can see a number of bonuses – namely that it has a flat top on which you can place a cold beer (which a big plus point in my book) and that it is highly unlikely that it will ask if you love her every five seconds followed by a not so subtle hint that the dishes need doing or the floor need vacuuming (and that it’s your turn).

That said, I cannot help but wonder what your mother would think if she found one of these stuffed at the back of a cupboard.

That’s More Like It

Tuesday, March 6th, 2007

Ah…maybe I don’t need to become omnipowerful ruler of this country after all, if we get more studies like this one.

OLDER men who drink moderate amounts of alcohol may function better physically than either those who abstain completely or those who abuse alcohol, a new study suggests.

Moderate drinkers tend to be healthier in general than teetotalers or problem drinkers, Dr Peggy Cawthon of California Pacific Medical Centre in San Francisco and colleagues said.

There is also evidence that moderate drinking may reduce inflammation.

Science is on one side of the fence…fun is on the same side.

To paraphrase Sen. McCarthy, the “laws of probability dictate” that this should have been the natural outcome, fifty percent of the time. Yet after a century or more of science forming an unholy alliance with the institutions of mass communication, this remains an isolated and anomalous incident. Science has shown a heavy-handed proclivity, over the last ten decades or so, of being a killjoy. Stories like this one, are news because they are unusual. I think regardless of our biases and initial inclinations, everyone paying attention would agree with that.

I think if you send a kitten to your ex-girlfriend, you should do it all at once. In one piece. But that’s just me.

A man accused of mailing the severed head of a kitten to his ex-girlfriend was ordered to stand trial on stalking and animal-cruelty charges.

Benjamin Gregory, 30, of Pittsburgh, allegedly sent the gift-wrapped package in January because he was unhappy that the relationship had ended, police said. His ex-girlfriend is an attorney who volunteers at animal shelters.

Sidebar Update X

Sunday, March 4th, 2007

Okay, we’re gonna bookmark this guy. And it’s probably obvious why.

Here it is a weekend, he’s managed to get his right-blogger-brain workin’, and I have not done the same. So he’s worthy just on that basis. But also, while maybe he’s not as smart as we are over here — he’s only noticed fourteen things compared to our hundred and eighty-six — at least he was sufficiently forthcoming to take the time and scribble ’em down. So I like the way he thinks.

We’ll go ahead and sidebar him now, and figure out if he’s a pinko-commie Clinton-lovin’ baby-killin’ liberal later.

50 Mistakes Women Make

Friday, February 23rd, 2007

Okay, you can get a list like this out of any one of those glossy magazines that stare you in the face when you’re paying for your groceries.

What sets this one apart, is that it’s for women…about how to please men…written by a woman…who practices what she preaches. And no, I don’t know that from personal experience, it’s just an assumption I’m making. A fairly solid one. And, when she uses vulgarities, there is a point to her doing so. She’s not out to prove much of anything.

50 Mistakes Women Make When Having Sex.

1. Assuming he can get a raging hard on when it suits you. Contrary to popular belief, men can’t just flip a switch and get it up because you decided to stop being a frigid bitch. Getting it hard is your job. I suggest you figure it out.

2. Thinking that kissing needs to be this sweet romantic thing all the time. Sometimes pressing your lips against your partners mouth while you get off is the hot. It depends on the situation.

3. Leaving him responsible for your orgasm. You know what gets you off. Tell him. If you don’t, it’s your own fault when he’s snoozing and you’re all wound up.

4. Expecting him to cuddle. Men and women are wired differently. Sex makes most women want to talk and bond and all that shit. It makes men pass out. It’s a biological thing. Stop fighting it, and stop holding it over his head, it’s not his fault.

5. Expecting him to fall asleep with you in his arms. That shit is uncomfortable after awhile. A little snuggling isn’t unreasonable, but when it’s time to actually sleep? An arm draped over you should suffice.

There are certain other things floating around out there that give me cause to think the lady should be joining the American Psychological Association. She’s probably just what they need.
