My father had amazing results with acupuncture, but I am a neophyte. Anyone use it acupuncture or other alternative therapies?

Fun fact: a man of 40 should have sex once every two weeks, a woman of 40 . . . once every three.

Even(good thing I am not 40)Odds
You're intrigued? Well, lucky you. I am also a doctor of chinese medicine, and I can perform an even more detailed analysis for you, using only your tongue and mouth. It will cost you $500, though. Cash only please.

Fashion for the Apocalypse

From Refinery 29: "Fashion for the apocalypse: (how to look situation appropriate, but still hot, for the end of days)."



In case of apocalypse (or the far more likely zombie-pocalypse), I am going with an ensemble from REI -- wicking fabrics, zip openings, and comfort. If I am going to be living off the land and killing zombies, I want to be dry and comfortable.

Speaking of tongues (and of angels), I for one am pumped for the return of V.

Speaking of Arch, I still don't understand why a smart, cute girl like Midge would date Moose.

Eh, I don't like cinnamon in my breakfast cereal (I'm talking to you, Cinnamon Toast Crunch). I never tried the cinnamon crispix, but if it tasted anything like CTC, I'm not mourning the loss.

I am a fan of esoteric music, including local music that receives no commercial radio play and a quite a variety of world music. My evenings in July are often spent watching the re-cap of the Tour de France, and I have spent more than one weekday afternoon at a downtown pub watching Champions League play. I am on the boards of several non-profits, a large domestic violence prevention agency and my neighborhood association, of which I am president. President. This, my friends, is not the portrait of a nerd, but rather a modern Renaissance Man.
Impressive. As a better example, I am an attorney. Sort of. Let's just say I went to law school and have passed a bar.....lol!!!

But to set meself apart, my corner office has a bidet and a murphy bed. 4tcb, iykwimaiktyd.

Also, while I am of a certain age, I have the sex once every two hours, instead of once every two weeks. Cuts down on my billing except when its clients or office staff

Finally, when I had the temporary custody of my young nieces last Saturday, we called into RadioDisney and I pretended to be their parent (father, fwiw) and I won the "cool parent" contest.

Raises the bar a bit, no?

[OUTABLE] Ps: And I have an unkempt (except for the braids-see my avatar pic for an example) pirate style beard. Adds credence when I go to the bars in Ballard to pick up young wenches and/or sea maidens claiming to be a mercenary pirate fisherman just off the Deadliest Catch boat. Apparently they dig pirate beards.[/OUTABLE]

I like the second to the left thing. The Mark Moseley look was always hot.

I like the oversized bow tie look that Brad from the RZ Project sports. I know Lanvin and Commonwealth Utilities each make versions (with the latter named for the aforementioned Mr. G). Anyone seen them out there at retail? Serious replies appreciated.

I am thinking that it would be a good look with one of my more piratey waistcoats and fancy britches. Or formal functions. Or both.
