I need another TMI closet

Robin Thicke told Howard Stern he and his wife Paula Patton have done nearly everything. I know all about Sandra Fluke's monthly birth control expenses and how Michael Douglas got his cancer. Katie Couric once had her colonoscopy filmed and John Mayer has had coitus with Jennifer Aniston. There's older stuff like Bob Dole's erections, Bill Clinton's crooked member. Some quite dated Johnny Carson stuff and Frank Gifford has a thing for smelly women. I don't know where to keep all this stuff. Maybe I'll go to Home Depot and get one of them sheds.

  1. Get a big shed. Scandals are nothing new (and back in the day, no media, no twitter)

  2. A good % of TMI comes from standing in line at the supermarket checkout line. I swear there are about 5 prototype Cosmo sex articles endlessly recycled. I don't think they're even done by young women editors anymore, I think a computer does it.

  3. Really... how many times can you have THE ULTIMATE SEX TRICK? Just reading the cover as you stand in line at the grocery store is enough to make you feel like your sex life is inadequate.

  4. Somebody wrote a good letter to Cosmo once, what about the millions of women who aren't even getting any?

  5. What's up with the Red Sox? They look like an Amish baseball team.

  6. OMG LMAO!!! That is exactly what Scott said last night!!! I guess they're superstitious or something. Don't hockey players always get excessively hairy around Stanley Cup time?

  7. The millions of women who aren't getting any are reading Martha Stewart Living, not Cosmo.

    Personally I never read Cosmo... it's like very one-dimensional to me, sex and more sex. I'm not a big magazine person anyway. I used to be really, really a huge fan of the Weekly World News (home of Batboy, random Elvis sightings and manifestos from friendly ETs on how to handle the upcoming Apocalypse. Come to think of it I never see it on the stands anymore. It was my favorite. Otherwise, I read Back To Godhead (that's the Hare Krishna magazine, like you needed to be told that) and that's about all.

    So the shutdown, well, here's my thought process, I think the WH is not going to budge because the signs are like only too clear in their favor and really it does set an evil precedent to capitulate at this point. I have a sneaking suspicion that Harry Reid is going to take on the brunt of the fight and be bad cop/good cop with Obama. He gets to step back and be like, 'oh I'm willing to be reasonable, but HARRY here...' and Harry goes at it swinging. I must say that in all of this John McCain has been a pillar of reason and rationality and I feel bad that his own people are skewering little wax dolls of him. The whole thing has been trumped by ideology over pragmatism, What Is In Our Perfect World rather than what is realistically possible, and fortunately (or unfortunately depending on your view) it's causing a full-bore implosion of the GOP. Even they know that the lunatics are running the asylum and they have no way to stop it. Politics, real politics, is a lot about give and take, nudges and baby steps. This is what got me out of the SPUSA and into the DSA; I decided that I had two options: either hold out for the whole enchilada and starve to death or be willing to take a taquito now and make actual progress towards a future enchilada. Practicality in the long run won out. And there are ideologues in every political group that are all-or-nothing, and really, is that the best way to go? Incremental progress is still progress, and paradigms do not get dismantled overnight. So functionally I think we are watching the death of the GOP. One thing that alternately amazes and terrifies me is how sincerely so many of these people actually think they're right, actually think that people are supporting them. They look facts right in the eye and then completely ignore them. This is the Karl Rove group that was so drunk on their own propaganda that they honestly couldn't believe Obama won the election despite everyone in the known universe including undiscovered tribes in the Andes knowing that Obama was going to win. They're so deluded with their own hype, so bought into their own propaganda that they actually seem to lose touch with reality.

  8. Did she give him the Hochie Coochie like Miley Cyrus did?

  9. I think Harry Reid should retire. I think McCain should retire, I think a whole lot of them should retire. I think that's part of the problem.

  10. Now that the Giants are like 0&6 will Dunkin' Donuts drop Eli Manning for a new spokesman for their DD App?

  11. Just thought Id mention this phone ROCKS. My phone has always been more about apps than calls and i LOVE the giant screen.

  12. Will you ever go back to a BlackBerry?

    ReplyDelete
  13. I don't think so. The screen is so huge and there's tons more apps available since it runs Android...I'm still figuring it all out but really it has been great so far. I have all the basics worked out, now just for the niceties. It even has this NFC (near field communication) little stickers you can set up with a particular profile (like for being at work or in the car) and you touch it to the stickers and it changes to whatever the sticker is set for. How cool is that really?!

  14. They're treating this 50 Shades as some serious Movie Project - who's gonna play the male lead? I hope nobody.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I didn't read the books and I sure as shit will not be seeing the movie.

  16. Charlie Hunnam who dropped out he says his "Sons of Anarchy" TV show doesn't give him the time to properly research the character of Christian Grey as if it's great literature. These fans who start these online petitions now to support or oppose some male actor chosen as the lead it's too easy to say get a life but at least if you're gonna do this latch onto something that is good from a literary and artistic standpoint.

  17. My take on the whole thing is that basically it's high end theatrical porn for suburbanites. Like I said.... I didn't read it, didn't need to.

  18. What's up with the fuckin' rabbis?

    ReplyDelete
  19. Could be a new show on cable, "Rabbis Breaking Bad."

    Kindle (E Ink)
    Kindle DX
    Kindle Touch
    Kindle Fire
    Original Nook
    Color Nook
    Sony Reader

    None of the above
    ...I was a none of the above guy...sort of a zero base line for their survey I guess.
    What the hell are all those things and do I need them?

  21. The only thing you need is the RandPhone with the bitcoin app.

  22. I'm really happy with my new phone. Nobody ever calls me so it's all about the apps. We used Google Maps beta yesterday to get to a place in Virginia and I was really impressed. Anyway I like the phone.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Talking and texting, blah! I do that a miniscule part of the time but to me a smartphone is so much more. Glad you like your new device.

  24. I hope those scouts don't find out about the one right here in North Salem NY.

  25. Couple of teachers killed by pistol packing Jr. High kids this week.
    1. Both math teachers
    A. A weapon is an enemy, even to it's owner- Turkish Proverb
    B. Teachers should be armed like a Marine combat soldier- NRA
    ...what the hell ever happened to parenting, huh?

    ReplyDelete
  26. I didn't even hear about this on the news, guess it's because it's the new normal.

    1. Seems to be. Between the NRA and the far right thinking teachers are commies, it must be a good deal for some folks.

    2. and enemy, even to its owner...
      here ,
      there , every where
      ,,it is a free fire zone in this country; 289 Americans are shot by Americans every day...and the dunderheads piss about Benghazi.

  27. I'm a little behind on electronic communications...they got an app that will take a
    leak in the night for you?

  28. Isn't that annoying? Love when you get up at 3 in the AM to take a whiz and before you know it you're cleaning up cat throwup.

  29. Another night has gone by, no pee on the puppy pads. I really don't understand her.

    1. Kidney problems?...maybe the vet should check her out.

  30. I think she's just a vindictive bitch.

  31. Pet behaviorism, it's a field unto itself. I read in a cat veterinary handbook the other day if your cat soils the middle of your bed he's pissed off at you in some way. Cat and dog psychology, the next big field.

  32. According to news sources, this year's most popular Halloween costume was the
    Miley Cyrus twerking outfit. Probably went over big at Riverview Home for the Elderly. IMO, Al Roker as Mr. T would rank in the top 100,000....

  33. You'd think today with kids and their smartphones when they trick or treat there'd be a candy app instead of dropping treats in a bag.

    ReplyDelete
  34. There are at last a million apps available for the needy public. How many apps does one need to be cool these days?

    ReplyDelete
  35. I actually don't use that many apps at all. I'm actually finding technology very frustrating these last few days. I spend (waste) more time trying to figure stuff out than actually enjoying my time on the tablet or maybe Atlas just ruined my brain.

    ReplyDelete
  36. So, you gonna go retro with that smartphone?

    ReplyDelete
  37. Seems like no matter how far we advance we still at times desire to go back to the old ways. Electric hand dryers, sure now most of 'em have supersonic speeds but just give me a paper towel dispenser.

  38. Have you noticed any collateral damage from you high tech communications gear? Had my physical this week and reported dry eye, wet eye and problems shifting from up close to far away. Either even my 18 inch computer screen...or being older than dirt.

    1. Nothing but the occasional headache born of frustration. Read the wiki article on .apk files, like reading a George Will column.

  39. The first lunar lander computer had 7500 lines of code. It processed equations for
    velocity, gravity, acceleration and astrophysics. The Furby toy has 21,000 lines of code. It responds to voice, moves its head and blinks. Progress?

  40. Security algorithms; spent over a year trying to get into my annuities accounts.
    Incorrect password/incorrect user account/. Then the inevitable 'what was the name of your first pet? Incorrect..'What was your mother's maiden name?' Incorrect
    'Where were you born?' Incorrect. Four (landline) calls to corp HQ and three calls
    to their security contractor. I know the name of my first pet, mother's maiden name
    and where I was born...why the hell can't these overated computer systems not?
    Would have been the first miracle since the middle ages if the ACA system worked.

  41. Funny thought, you probably would've been arrested if you were somehow able to hack into your own annuities account.
