Good advice, unless there's a promotion involved. Then lick away.

Phew, I was worried for Slave's sexual future.

ANd I am glad for Sebby that the ass is off the menu./ Condolensces to MR. Its a good thing he got married.

I hate playing catch-up but some numbass let the blaster into our system with a laptop so here I am posting almost four hours later when the topic has already passed but I cannot let this one fly by. I never said I wasn't getting quite a bit, just noting that there are things beside huge girth and length that sometimes make having sex every day seem like a lot. I never said that I was or was not doing sex every day, just that the other things in life can make that seem like a lot to some people whether they are doing it or not. ;)

How in the hell did you get the blaster this week? That is soooo 2 weeks ago. Do you not have tech support? Anti-virus?

I don't want to talk about it. Fucking morons. Then they come around running a virus scan and I am saying "it won't pick up blaster, you have to run the Windows update thingie." Now, an hour after everyone is back up and running they are going around doing the Windows update thingie. Dumb fuckers. We get hit with a freaking virus and the head of IT leaves for lunch. I hate IT.

Sounds like someone's not following the "no licking ass on the first hookup rule..."

Everyone's Fat
 

Geez, now even dogs and cats are obese.

Your fat pets.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8 — Overweight Americans and Europeans are overfeeding their pets, too — and putting their health at risk, according to a report issued Monday. The report, from the National Research Council, finds that one-quarter of the dogs and cats in the Western world are obese. As with humans, this puts them at risk of diabetes, heart disease and other health problems. THE REPORT updates recommendations last made in the mid-1980s by the National Research Council, one of the independent National Academies of Science.
For instance, cats and dogs make their own vitamin C, it says, and do not need it added to food. But cats and dogs in the wild need high levels of fat, it added.
The report confirms that cats are carnivores, and need meat products in their diet, whereas dogs can get along fine on balanced vegetarian diets. The best balance of protein and carbohydrates is also different for cats than for dogs.

The report notes that in the wild, cats will catch and eat eight to 12 small animals or birds every day.
Feeding of cats should reflect this — with 12 to 20 very small meals being offered through the day, the report says. (Anyone have time to do this? Thrasher?)
The report advises on how to tell if a dog is too fat — if the ribs cannot be felt, it is probably overweight. Cats should have a slight waist but no roundness of the belly.

I wonder how that happened.

Sunny days keepin the clouds away
 

Some years ago, I was driving along on the highway and a woman changing lanes hit the back end of my car - not badly, just a bump. So I signaled for her, ignored the first exit and took the second exit to be sure she was following, got off that main street into a little neighborhood, got off the neighborhood's main street onto about the third side street I came to...

and pulled up in front of the house of the woman who hit me. Good thing, too, because she didn't have her insurance information in the car and needed to go inside to get it.

I have these from time to time (mostly the usual stuff - picking up the phone before it rings to discover the person you were going to call is on the line, that sort), but that's the most over-the-top odd one. My sister was with me and she totally freaked her shit.

Sorry, guys. This was in my Hotmail account and I can't afford any more bad karma.
 

I heard about that sort of thing on the news. Here they call it an Internet Pedophilia Sting Operation, or something like that...

This Fall's lineup
 

Another stupid lawyer show....

Alicia Silverstone’s dramedy “Miss Match,” in which she plays a divorce lawyer with a talent for matchmaking. The hamfistedly “ironic” premise aside, the future of “Miss Match” is anyone’s call; Silverstone has kept a relatively low profile since “Batman & Robin”

More stupid shows....
Speaking of show types that haven’t fared well of late, David E. Kelley is trying to reverse his current fortunes with “The Brotherhood of Poland, N.H.” After the humiliatingly prompt sacking of “girls club” last year and violent cast shake-ups at “The Practice,” Kelley needs a breakout to go with the modestly thriving “Boston Public.”

It’s hard to predict whether movie-star power will translate into boob-tube triumph. But it’s not a stretch to expect that Whoopi Goldberg’s upcoming sitcom, cleverly titled “Whoopi,” is going to flop.

Holy shit. How big was the city you were driving in?

Sting now confesses that he "sexed up" tales of his stamina to impress Bob Geldof.* Turns out, the whole eight-hour tantric thing was total bullshit.

*This alone is just about the saddest motherfucking thing I've ever read.

Vegan poll
 

Somewhat on topic, I read somewhere that costuming for the show was really difficult because, as a dedicated Vegan and PETA sort, she refused to wear any fur or leather. The costumers went berzerk, apparently, until she confessed that she would wear vintage fur and leather, because it wasn't contributing to ongoing animal cruelty.

Other vegan/PETA types out there: is that legit or bullshit?

I vote "bullshit," but I'm perfectly willing to use the excuse myself when asked by the squeamish about any leather or other dead animal parts I happen to be wearing. Anything made last season is officially designated "vintage" in such cases.

BR(Actually, that's not true. It never occurred to me to wear fur until PETA's methods & statements started really, really pissing me off a few years ago; now I wear it, and look damn good, just to undermine their cause and hopefully piss off their members. Now if the squeamish ask me I tend to explain exactly that in the hopes it will make them think twice about where they send their money)C

I received this link http://www.despair.com/ bin my personal email account from someone with a usdoj.gov email address. Momentarily freaked my shit. The site's pretty funny, though.

How does that happen? Is that just viagra gone beserk or something? I cannot imagine having sex for nine hours. Did they have food and drink within arms-reach? I would most definitely have to pee at some point during those nine hours.

Vegan poll
 

Everyone draws the line somewhere. As a former ovo-lacto veggie with family members who were macrobiotic and others who were vegan, some kosher, some not, I'll tell you that I'm just happy everyone has drawn their own lines (as you can tell, a non-PETA position).

I take neither interest in nor responsibility for Ms. Silverstone's lines. Her curves are another matter.

Vegan poll
 

Absolute and total bullshit. I explain to people who are squeamish about the leather sofa, leather upholstered car, leather shoes, leather purse and leather watchband, that that cow was going to die anyway.

That said, I knew a PETA radical in law school, and she wouldn't even consider wearing vintage fur or leather on her dead body. It is all cruelty in the rules book.

In fact some idiot wore a full length fur coat to law school one day (yeah, totally appropriate) and we had to physically restrain PETA person from lunging at her jugular.

Vintage. HA. Nice try.

Of course it's bullshit. He's English, for chrissakes.

So I guess the 80's song "Up All Night" by Geldof's band the Boomtown Rats was really about an insomniac rather than Gordon's little Stinger...

Vegan poll
 

To momentarily defend the lines of the woman in whose lines I have no interest, isn't the vintage argument akin to the arguments about antique ivory versus recent ivory? So there is some logic.

Alicia, ya owe me one.

Vegan poll
 

Not that this is determinative of anything -- but there was a high-school (vegan, PETA (?), god-knows-what-else) girl who worked in my barn who would only buy used boots/saddles/other extraneous tack items, because she didn't want to contribute to the ONGOING cruelty -- but what's done is done... (or some such reasoning.)

So, Ms. Silverstone has at least one comrade in "ideals".

Vegan poll
 

I'm a former ovo-lacto-game meat veggie. THAT was a fun line to justify

BR("factory farming is unnecessarily cruel, but otherwise eating meat is fine")C

I think the "vintage OK" justification is somewhat like the "old ivory OK" thing.

Vegan poll
 

Yeah, but that's still a blurry line. What's vintage. 100? 50? 45? 20? I mean really. Couldn't you just call anything formerly owned, vintage? It's still bullshit, and even moreso if Alicia Silverstone is claiming it to not be.

Vegan poll
 

Agreed on the bullshit call. You either wear fur or you don't, it doesn't matter how "old" it is. I don't do fish/seafood, milk, eggs, meat or poultry and won't wear fur but I do own leather shoes and my car upholstry is leather. I think the fur thing has to do in part with (1) the animal being killed only for its hair as opposed to leather where we use the meat as well and (2) my mother told me never to wear plastic shoes. We all draw our lines. I have a strong dislike for over-the-top people who freak out and won't bathe or wear makeup because of animal parts "allegedly" in the products. I also do not like people who foist their views on others -- I feel a certain way about animals and their rights but I don't go bonkers on people who appear by their wardrobe or dinner plate not to agree with me. To each his own, none of my business, no skin off my ass, etc.

Vegan poll
 

I respect this. Even back then, I said it was easier to see eating rotting flesh when you'd shot bambi yourself. Also justifiable from a feeding the world perspective, since that there factory farming is damn inefficient, while li'l bambi's just calories on the hoof looking for a predator to feed.

Got Milk?

NEW YORK (CNN) -- A newly expanded gay-themed high school began the school year Monday with about 100 students attending classes, about 200 supporters rallying outside and a small band of protesters demonstrating against it.

Since 1985, Harvey Milk High School has served students who are gay or believed to be gay, but its recent expansion to 100 students sparked criticism from conservative groups.

Application to the school is voluntary. Teens are admitted regardless of sexual orientation, but must show they are at risk of dropping out because of harassment.

http://www.cnn.com/2003/EDUCATION/09...ool/index.html

I'm really not trying to Milk this for all it's worth, but couldn't they come up with a better name for the school*? Does anyone know the school mascot?

*No disrespect to the late Harvey Milk intended.

A lawyer not comfortable with blurry lines? I've never met a line I couldn't blur.

Why don't they ask 'em if they are gay and then we can categorize them as "gay" or "not gay" instead of falling back on "believed to be gay." :sarcastic

Queer High for the Straight Guy
 

Let me get this straight -- if they are a contestant on boy meets boy and the leading man doesn't peg them for straight, they are believed to be gay and thus can attend Milk HS.

Any more questions on Alicia's logic?

Vegan poll
 

Common misconception. Only bad leather is a byproduct of food-livestock. Most leather good enough for garment/glove/shoe making isn't, because animals have to be penned and cared for differently to produce a nice skin (again - factory farming for food isn't nice). Slaughterhouse leather usually ends up in saddles, soccer balls, workboots & stuff, or very cheap protective gear.
god bless your mother. But you could only go out at night and adopt little silken slippers!

BR(or is silk disallowed, too?)C

edited because I can't spell.

Queer High
 

The school immediately announced it would be staging "Ben Hur" as its fall musical. A cattle call for a "cast of thousands" is expected next week, according to a press release issued by a team of student directors.

In a separate release, another team of student directors announced that the spring play would be "Twelve Hundred Angry Men," an adaptation of the famous courtroom drama.
