Botox parties...endurance condoms...A Year of Ideas

cool!

couldn't get in Blatham.
we really talking condoms here?
i prefer magnums myself, fit better
don't choke the stoker

mikey

You'll need to register, but that's a quick and simple process. Besides, the NY Times is the best paper around so you ought to do this anyway.

As regards magnums and stokers...I know...you once caught a lobster and it was THIS big.

16 lbs....no lie. i have pics somewhere.

heehee

i meant the lobster l'lk....get your mind out of the gutter.

How apropos the woman's comments re, endurance condoms should appear in The Express ... rather than in The Times or The Daily Male. :wink:

I have the magazine section with the articles in it...but haven't finished looking at it yet. Back later.

You spend too much time at the times, Boss . . .

heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee . . .

I couldn't resist, so i went to the article attached to the picture of the nekkid lady holding a towel in front of herself. She spent 12 days, up to 9 hours a day, in her "installation." This constitutes art? As Mencken said, no one ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public . . .

There were lots of good ones. One of my favorites is Forced Transparency which urges companies to publish what they pay for oil. The premise is that, by publishing what is paid for oil, countries like Angola, which has billions in oil reserves but which receives millions in aid, would have to acknowledge how much money it makes.

"If citizens know how much mmoney comes in, they can, at the very least, figure out how much is stolen. Forcing transparencey on corrupt governments would increase pressure on leaders to spend more on schools, hospitals and roads--and might motivate citizens to toss out known thieves."

It is estimated that as much as $4 billion has disappeared in the last five years, yet the world spends about $200 million to feed poor Angolans.

The World Bank supports the idea as does Tony Blair. "In all this, the Bush administration has been noticeable for not taking a leadership role. Forty percent of Angola's oil is exported to the United States."

Another is Viagra Saves Wildlife. (I know what you're thinking--read on.)

Because more and more men are using Viagra, there has been less call for trade in animal parts, many of which come from endangered species.

Good news as far as I'm concerned. Keep that Viagra coming!

"Keep that Viagra coming"?

I can't believe she really said that! LOL Diane!

Are you Mmedianne on Abuzz by the way?

Yes she is, an' she is a very naughty woman . . .

heeheeheeheeheeheehee . . .

"Viagra in the Waters" -- by Camille West:

Just outside of Johnson City
On a dark and twisting road
In a Kenworth 18-wheeler
With a heavy, shifting load
He was pushing through to Binghamton
Though the hour was getting late
Pfyzer's finest on a mission
To the pharmacies upstate
He was on a holy mission
There were men who couldn't wait

(for his twenty thousand pounds of Viagra®)

He'd clocked seven hundred miles
Since he climbed into the rig
Just another twenty five or so
Would finish up that gig
But the trailer hit an oil slick
And down the hill did fly
?'til it landed at the bottom
in the town's water supply
It was instant rigor mortis
What a hard way to die
Chorus:
Save your sons
Shield your daughters
There's Viagra®
In the waters
All over Johnson City


People rising with the dawn
They drank their morning coffee,
Took their showers, watered lawns
And who could have predicted
All the changes up ahead?
Men were getting up for work,
And heading back to bed
So many called in sick,
You would have thought a virus spread
Down at the courthouse coffee shop
Some stared in disbelief
As a pack of thirsty lawyers
Started filling out their briefs
But at the local college
Young men appeared much smarter
No chromosomal mystery
They simply studied harder
Now water on the rocks
Is the latest party starter

Chorus
The Johnson City firemen
Cursed their wretched luck
They could not get their fire hoses
Wound back on the truck
Sprinkling holy water at a funeral,
Father Ryan said
"I know I've saved their souls,
but I've never raised the dead.
Would a couple strong men help me now
To close the casket lid?"


Old man Weisberg
Took the shower of his life
Then he marched into the kitchen
And he called out to his wife
She knew something was up
As he stood naked at the table
Holding two cups of coffee
And half a dozen bagels
It had been at least a decade
Since the last time he was able

Chorus

Believers seeking miracles
The pilgrims came in hordes
The waters of Viagra®
Grew more popular than Lourdes
The clergy quoted scripture
But they found it hard to sell
That those who chose to be anointed
Were pointed straight to hell
Despite the dire warnings
The crowds began to swell
Some hardened politicians
Came into town one day
With their permits and their pipelines
Pumped the waters all away
From the heart of Johnson City
Rose the mournful cry of men
But the women knew another truck
Was coming through again
Don't worry?-there's a truck next week
We'll spread the oil again

Chorus

LOLLOLLOLLOLLOLLOL

the doughnuts got me!

Yeah, that's my favorite verse, too . . .

Heeheeheehee!

Setanta--moi? Naughty? Well. er, yes, actually, whenever I can get away with it!

Deb, I thought you knew it was truly I, with my ususal mix of gutter and demure-ishness

Setanta, getting back to your song (how could I not?), I too loved the doughnuts, but I was rather impressed with dear old Mr. Weisberg. Half a dozen bagels is nothing to sneeze at or ogle at or even to swoon at, but to celebrate!!

It is quite clear that the women of Johnson City will keep a ready supply of oil handy for as long as Viagra is transported by truck. :wink:

But I think we have digressed from Blatham's original intent.

Swerving from blatham's original intent in no sin at all, here or anywhere. What wonderful swerves might we miss if such a rule were in place?! It's a great song, an advance of culture, as is the subject of it. There is a very scientific reason that my avatar is blue, puffy, and youthful.

OK, I'll bite. Tell me, pray tell, the scientific reason for the blueness and puffiness and youthfulness of your avatar?

Then please give me the unscientific reason, which I'm sure will be much more fun.
