The blackout game...

When I was in eighth grade, Mike F. and I discovered we could render each other unconscious with the sleeper hold. We would do this in the music room on the couch. It never really worked on my, I came close to blackout but my body was used to abuse and I would always manage to come back from near blackout. I think it would have worked it anyone was brave enough to do it for long enough. Mike, he used to drop like a log.

It seems we aren't the only kids to discover the blackout game. It seems some people are doing it by themselves and dying when the rube-gold-berg machines they invent to knock themselves out fail to stop cutting off the blood to the brain.

BMW philes...

Aftenposten Nettutgaven, Local
The PM's new car has been waiting to earn its license plates since mid-October. The specially built BMW weighs about four tons - roughly twice that of a normal car - thanks to its security equipment, steel armor and other safety features.

I've always thought the BMW Protection cars (heavily modified 7-series cars designed to be bullit proof) were interesting... My parents contemplated buying one once just because it was cool. Now that they make cars that are bomb proof, they seem even cooler...

Can you be a porn star?

Yahoo! News - Notable Quotes
"We have a contestant who is an 18-year-old from the Amish country. I don't think she really knew what she was getting herself into. Another, a 20-year-old, has only been with one man her whole life. One of the girls had never kissed a girl before and was weirded out by it."

--MARY CAREY, the porn actress who ran for governor of California and now is working on a reality show in which aspirants audition for a porn movie, quoted in the New York Post.

Hubris:
You just couldn't get enough. You were successful,
but always wanted more. You overestimated
yourself and your cause. you have overextended,
and now you've lost it all. Nemesis is a bitch.

Playmate blows her gig with a boob job

Click2Houston.com - Entertainment - Nude Model's Surgery May Hurt Her Playboy Career
"I had breast augmentation. I was, like, a large B, small C. I'm (now) about a large D, DD. I had lip enhancements and I had a little (liposuction) under the chin," she said. "I feel pretty. I like the way I look. I'm happy with my body and who I am."

Maybe I'm wierd maybe I'm too wierd but to me anything over a C is really kinda gross, and C is really big...

Ok, now that I've covered my views on breasts. This is how fucked up the planet is. A woman, considered beutiful enough for Playboy, who was being considered for her own feature in Playboy, felt she need:

  1. A boob job
  2. Liposuction
  3. Lip enhancements
What is this world comming to?

Santorum to google

The Onion A.V. Club | Savage Love
When you first linked Rick Santorum's name to [description of shitfoam deleted], I thought it would never stick. I was wrong. As someone has probably pointed out to you, if you type "Santorum" into Google, the first three hits are to his Senate web site, the next two are to CNN articles about his comments on homosexuality, and the two after that are about santorum, that frothy mix.

You may have heard about what happens if you type "French military victories" into a Google search engine. (The first hit is a page that says, "No standard web pages containing all your search terms were found.") You might want to post a challenge to all the computer geeks out there to do something similar, Dan, so the first entry a Google search of "Santorum" brings up is your definition, not Sen. Santorum's official web site. Surely that would promote the cause, don't you think?
Santorum On My Mind

It would, SOMM, and I hereby challenge computer geeks to move my definition of santorum to the top slot on Google.

As for the ongoing success of the Savage Love santorum campaign, I could fill the column, week after week, with nothing but notes from people about their own use of the word and the unexpected places they've heard others using it-from the floor of the Wisconsin State Senate to U.S. military bases in Afghanistan!-but, bowing to the delicate sensibilities of my readers (and editors), I'm going to refrain from doing so. Instead, I'm going to put up a web site where people can track the spread of santorum and share their santorum stories. Look for the URL in next week's Savage Love.

Head the call to arms! Make santorum google to Dan Savage's yet to be named web site!

Female ejaculate

The Daily Californian
Last week I watched a video showing female ejaculation and, well, damn. First viewing: whoa, what was that? Second viewing: yup, that really happened. Third viewing: I wanna do that! But I haven't, and neither had any of the women I spoke to in preparing for this article. Damn. So I did some research. Read, assimilate and, if it appeals and you've got the proper anatomy, take it home and work on soaking the sheets with fresh loads of girl spunk.

I wish I had gone to Berkeley!

Going to class

Class Motorcycle Schools

I'm going to class on Wednessday November 26th, 2003.

It will be at Laguna Seca. Last year I crashed in turn 5 with a low side at about 80mph on an BMW R1100GS. This year I'm going on a '02 Triumph Daytona 955i CE. Once again I'll start in the slower B group and see how I do... If I'm too fast I'll move to the A group.

Ode to the Paris Hilton sex tape

D-Nasty
The cold black of night is penetrated by an alien tone, played upon an inhuman scale. It pierces through the quiet slumber that is the inheritance of honest men.

As when Psyche dripped her voyeur wax upon the forbidden face of love, a sprightly nymph stirs, and all is a flutter:

"Let me get my phone."

Paris Hilton's first line in this magnificent post modern statement is more conditioned response than free will. Like Pavlov's doggy, she is powerless to resist the cold intrusion of the technological sprawl that devours countrysides, bathrooms and budoirs with the same unyielding hunger. McLuhan promised us a Global Village, but nowhere did he say that it would be a tax haven, and on this evening the throbbing circuitry of a connected world demands the sacrifice of a media virgin. But she is not without an advisor. In this film Ms. Hilton acts opposite Rick Solomon, media mogul, giver of corporal knowledge. Yet he is more, and in a poignant moment of self-loathing which defines the entire encounter, Solomon blasphemes the very technology upon which he has built his empire:

"Fuck your phone."

Saturday night at Bonzai in Pioneer Square, a nearly naked woman is laid out on a table. A chef slices sushi behind her, to be arrayed on her torso, bare except for a sheath of plastic wrap and some decorative flower petals.

Chopsticks at the ready, patrons line up.

Abstinence doesn't work!

Kentucky.com - Your Kentucky Everything Guide
Abstinence pledges -- signed commitments that teenagers will not have sex before marriage -- might be less than effective, a recent study says.

And more than half the teens in a recent study said a person should still be considered abstinent after engaging in oral sex.

Those are the results of a Northern Kentucky University survey of nearly 600 teens.

According to the survey, 61 percent of those who had taken abstinence pledges had broken them within a year. Of the 39 percent who said they had not broken their pledges, more than half disclosed they'd engaged in oral sex.

The article goes on to state that teens who sign the abstinance plegdes are also less prepaired for their first sexual encounter and frequently don't use protection.

I guess no one ever told these people that people under 18 can't enter in to a legally binding contract.

Dan on shaving

The Onion A.V. Club | Savage Love
I need help understanding a recently observed trend. As a physician, I see lots of naked bodies. For several years, I've noticed that, generally speaking, many straight patients (men and women) in their 20s have trimmed and/or coifed pubic hair. A lot of the men tell me that their girlfriends prefer it that way; some have said, "It makes me feel cooler and cleaner." Occasionally, I have to treat folliculitis (an infection/inflammation at the base of the hair follicles) caused by overaggressive shaving. I have noticed that many of my 14- to 16-year-old male patients have completely trimmed off their pubic hair. What gives? When I was that age, I anxiously awaited a full set.

It seems Dr. Evil was right when he said, "There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum. It's breathtaking, I suggest you try it."

What romance am I?

casablanca
"You must remember this, a kiss is still a
kiss". Your romance is Casablanca. A
classic story of love in trying times, chock
full of both cynicism and hope. You obviously
believe in true love, but you're also
constantly aware of practicality and societal
expectations. That's not always fun, but at
least it's realistic. Try not to let the Nazis
get you down too much.

Women look at porn

Web-site porn attracts women by the millions
While pornography may rouse a couple's interest for a while, "real women with real varicose veins and real body fat" lose in the end because they can't compete with the image of air-brushed porn queens, said Donna Rice Hughes, president of Enough is Enough, an organization trying to make the Internet safer for families.
"Pornography sells sex without relationships, sex without commitment, sex without consequences, sex without love, sex without children and sex for one's own gratification as opposed to the gratification of the other," said Rice Hughes, whose 1987 relationship with former Sen. Gary Hart, Democrat of Colorado, ended his presidential campaign.

She forgot sex without a partner.

This woman really needs to talk to Dan Savage. If men were so opposed to real women ALL men would leave there women for 19 year olds.

OK... so that comment was just a rider on the article. Most of the article was on women looking at porn. The point being more women are using porn, some are getting addicted just like men do.

Shocking men and women aren't that different after all... Who'da thunk it?
