Quit Stealing My STUFF!!

For the second time in a week I came across a media reference that was blatant plagiarism of my original intellectual property.

The first: My husband told me that Bob (of Bob and Tom fame), referred to The Ohio State football team as "The Ohio State Pot-smokers". I am pretty confident that term originated with me in the late '80's. It stems from the fact they are the "Buckeyes" and there are stickers of buckeye leaves on their helmets. Buckeye leaves look suspiciously like pot leaves...


The second: My favorite MSNBC...stealing from me. Tupperware parties with a twist. Sex toys are for sale at these ladies-only gatherings - GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. On the evening I visit Julie Bunton's new house in this small farming town that seems to grow more tract homes than crops, family is gathered inside the living room, mothers, daughters, cousins, in-laws along with a few friends. There is diced fruit, vegetable cruditaes and a tray with marshmallows ready for dipping into a chocolate fountain. Brooke Reinertsen, a saleswoman for one of those multi-level marketing home-party outfits, is giving a sales presentation. But it sounds nothing like a Tupperware or Mary Kay event.
"OK ladies, now rub, lick, blow. Rub, lick, blow. Feel that? You can just about breathe your partner to orgasm with this!"

Just when we thought it couldn't get worse....

Mel Gibson sympathizes with Michael Richards. NEW YORK - Though he’s lost many fans after being captured on video hurling racist epithets at a comedy club audience, Michael Richards has an ally: Mel Gibson.
“I felt like sending Michael Richards a note,” Gibson says in an interview in Entertainment Weekly’s Dec. 8 issue. “I feel really badly for the guy. He was obviously in a state of stress.

Fifty Mistakes Men Make When Having Sex

Personally I don't agree with numbers 1 and 6, and as far as number 19 goes, I would hope a man would be able to tell if it was time for that without asking. But the rest of this list is pretty good, especially the hygiene stuff. Also, refraining from walking around with just your socks on is usually a smart choice (unless you're a dork).

If you can't beat 'em join 'em

Apparently that's how the FBI operates:

FBI joined with the mob to frame innocent people

You see movies like this and you hope they are purely fiction. It was 40 years ago, but how do we know it isn't still happening? And with the Patriot Act, it will only get worse. We have given our government entirely too much power. What a nightmare. With stuff like this happening I don't see how the most ardent death penalty fan can be okay with killing prisoners.

By the way, why am I the only one blogging around here? Where are you bitches? I don't want to hear any excuses. If you have time to banter angrily with Jim, you have time to post. In fact, maybe you could combine the two.

Isn't America Grand?

If you're rich enough you can do whatever you want apparently. I'm referring to the new O.J. book, "If I Did It".

More red wine benefits

An ingredient in red wine, resveratrol, increases endurance. Huh, I was wondering where I got it, considering that I drink, smoke, have lots of stress, only work out once or twice a week, don't sleep regularly, and don't really watch what I eat.

See...animals do it too

Hate to be an I told you so, but "The argument that a homosexual way of living cannot be accepted because it is against the "laws of nature" can now be rejected scientifically".
It appears that many species participate in homosexual activity. In fact, "almost a quarter of black swan families are parented by homosexual couples", these couples being 2 males. And Bonobo Chimpanzees, considered to be the closest living relatives to humans are nearly all bisexual.

Vocab Word for the Day - LYCOPENE

Another way to live forever, only slightly less fun.

Ongoing preliminary research suggests that LYCOPENE is associated with reduced risk of macular degenerative disease, serum lipid oxidation and cancers of the lung, bladder, cervix and skin.

I'm going to live forever

Controlling obesity and diabetes with red wine?
Sounds a hell of a lot better than that calorie restriction bullshit.
Sure, a 150-lb person would need to drink 750 to 1,500 bottles of red wine a day to get the same dose they tested on the mice, but hey, we could work up to that. It's good to have goals right?
