“Had we gone to trial, we had ready an expert from the Masters and Johnson Institute who was going to testify that in 30 years of research on masturbation, the institute had never found one person who masturbated with his or her nondominant hand,” Reubens revealed. “I’m right-handed, and the police report said I was (masturbating) with my left hand. That would have been the end of the case right there, proof it couldn’t have been me.”

Oh God. One of my professors is already assigning reading for the first class, and he's been teaching at the university for 43 years...lord help me

[Félix]

Peewee!!

[Youndyc]

Missed my alarm this morning - I'm an hour+ late for work. Lovely.

My days as a chauffeur are over, my youngest now has his license. I am going to miss the talks, but not the running.

My printer is out of ink and I really need to print something right now. I don't want to leave the house...grr.

How did I not know there was a kind of coffee bean called Mysore Nuggets?

The link won't load on my computer, but I've heard that there's a coffee bean that's eaten and pooped out by a small animal and it's very expensive.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Oh yes, Kopi Luwak. Passes thru the digestive tract of the civet.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Mmmmm coffee.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

I have to buy a darn coffee maker this weekend. I'm jonesing for coffee something fierce.

I always laugh when somebody says, "don't be so judgmental." Being judgmental is just what we do. Not being judgmental really would be like death. Normative behavior is normal. That original self-conscious, slightly despairing glance in the mirror (together with, "Is this it?" or "Is that all there is?") is a great enabler because it compels us to seek improvement. The transcendent is right here right now. What we transcend is our selves. And we can (I am quoting Sartre here) transascend or transdescend. The inevitable dissatisfaction with one's own appearance is the engine not only of philosophy but of civil society at large. Always providing you don't end up pulling your hair out by the roots.

Is she getting excited? My #2 girl is nervous about college and her 3 roommates. All three of the little angels have photos of themselves holding a can of beer on their Facebook pages. E. says they seem like shallow idiots so far.

At least there is no digging involved to find the idiocy.

[Cynthia]

Thank God she's wise enough to keep that kind of crap off her Facebook page. Or, preferably, not do stupid stuff in the first place!

[Kevin]

this laptop is so hot i am afraid it will make me sterile. er.

[Kevin]

i took a wikked nap today. woke up and had to look around to see where i was

[Félix]

wikked

Why do people get hooked on Vicodin? It isn't doing a thing for me, pain-control or otherwise.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I am all sugared out. Ice cream will do that to you.

The mosquitoes have subsided, I got a lot of lawn and garden work done this weekend.

[Cynthia]

That's because the skeeters all came to Iowa to bug me.

Oh good they made it, I wasn't sure that I had given that good of directions. :-)

[Cynthia]

Thanks, Jim. Hopefully my friendly neighborhood bats will polish off a few thousand of them.

[[deleted user]]

I hates bats!

[Félix]

How can you hate a creature that devours mosquitoes?

Larry wrote: "How can you hate a creature that devours mosquitoes?"

Now that is a dilemma. We used to get bats in our house when I was little, I guess I never got over it.

[Cynthia]

I like them as long as they stay outside.

[janine]

[Cambridge]

[janine]

i declared my glasses dead, but after extensive surgery and a night at the hospital they now have another few weeks to live.

[Félix]

Good news.

Or you could bury them right now, and see how much fun you can get into while not wearing glasses.

i'm not blind enough to get into a lot of 'fun', but blind enough to miss my glasses. i want to be able to watch tv, or recognize faces from a distance.

[[deleted user]]

Oh well, keep the surgery supplies handy until the new ones arrive then.

[janine]

the optician fixed them so they should be fine.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Today at the grocery store I dropped a big bottle of tomato sauce and it broke and sauce went all over my feet and sandals. Fortunately my store has antiseptic hand wipes and I went a little crazy. Then I walked back to the produce section to rebag my produce, which was covered in sauce. I continued to clean my feet....I hope people weren't disgusted by the sight. On the way home bees thought I smelled delicious and began to lick my legs...

[Phil]

When something drops and breaks in a grocery store, should the dropper offer to pay for it?

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

No. Prices are so high at this store that I've already paid for it, many times over....the jar I was reaching for was $3.19 but a lot of the brands they carry are $7-8.

[Brittomart]

I know it turns you off when I get talkin' like a teen.

[Phoenix]

I really have to pee but I looked at some of the pictures on the spider thread and now I'm afraid to put my feet on the floor!

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

I killed a huge spider in my bathtub today.
