This worries me about my in-laws. They have two big labs, and right now they stay separated from my daughter. However, these things are huge and kinda dumb, and love to climb up on people. They've had minimal interaction with my daughter, usually my daughter petting their noses while they sniff her curiously. I'm just dreading when my daughter gets bigger and they start interacting more, because they LOVE to jump on people.
Labs are usually fantastic with yung'uns. Labs are just great dogs in general, smart or stupid. It's usually the smaller ones that have issues with kids. Especially Jack Russell Terriers. Smart dogs, but the worst to have with kids. If you have a Pomerian, stuff it down the garbage disposal and throw in a molotov cocktail. A large percentage of breeders will tell you Mastiffs and their off-breeds (like Dogue de Bordereux) are the best dogs for kids, because of their combintion of being gentle and able to withstand physical torment without batting an eye. Small kids who don't know better can yank their tails, pull their lips or try to rise them like a horse and those dogs will just take it. They earn their nickname "gentle giant".
I am so glad he won instead of the other two. Hated that jackass with the glasses and hope the Indian kid gets beat by his parents.
So, I went to the strip club for the first time. Place was actually relatively classy, at least by Yuma standards. Booze was insanely overpriced. Most of the women were mediocre, but there weren't any that made me go "Ewwww, what are you doing up there?" I wouldn't say that I had a crappy time, but it just wasn't... gratifying. Before this, when I saw tits, it was before and during sex. Seeing them paraded on stage wasn't even comparable, and it honestly wasn't sexy at all. I was just going "Yup, titties. Yup, she just picked up a dollar bill with her pussy. Meh." I was reminded of anatomy textbooks; it was just sterile. Prepackaged, cut with milk sugar, put into tiny baggies, and sold for ridiculous prices. Honestly, I can think of only a couple kinds of people who would enjoy strip clubs. Ballers who make so much money that they can make it rain without caring, and nasty-ass creeps who can't get a girl to touch them without twenties in their hands. I watched a coworker spend three hundred bucks on lap dances; I'm going to laugh at him the next time that he bitches that he's going to be broke when he leaves the Marine Corps. Shithead. 3/10, would not go again.
Strip clubs where fun once and a while. But then again, I live in a little town, about 12k people and the only strippers we get are the ones that go on tour to the small little towns so they are nasty. I had lots of fun the few times I have been in a bigger city with nice strip clubs. Best time ever was when I was with my best friend and when the stripper came on stage she looked pretty dam close to his sister, needless to say i spent a few dollars getting her to come over to where he was sitting when she was on stage.
What the fuck, according to a status that was just posted on my newsfeed, there are machines that dispense vibrators where the machines that dispense tampons usually are in women's bathrooms in Germany. That is the best.
Rental vibrators? The Rabbit dispenses from the machine with a chain on it, and gets retracted when the time period is up. "Ohhh, yeah, I'm just about to--" *bzzzzz* "GOD DAMN IT." I'm patenting this idea. Nobody steal it.
Wait wait wait, THIS is the video everyone is posting on Facebook? Was this the tourney of the teen tards or something? Who the fuck doesn't know Eisenhower was the guy who said that? Also, the daily double was a fucking gimme. Also, someone needs to come up with a strip club that doesn't have the club atmosphere. How bout a country themed titty bar?
What the fuck. Oscar Pistorius Murders Girlfriend Man, between him and Armstrong, this is really not a good year to be an inspirational athlete. I'm actually severely bummed out by this. The way things are going, it will turn out Phelps was juicing, Richie McCaw is a rapist, and Usain Bolt touches children. Seriously. What the fuck.
I'm just glad Tyrone got it together finally. Well the reason everyone is posting it is because of that daily double, he was able to basically ride out the rest of the tournament without having to buzz in or even answer Final Jeopardy. It was comical that he didn't give a fuck and knew that he was going to win.
It's a sad fact that teenage boys don't know an extremely basic trivia question about WWII. Outside of porno what other subjects would guys that age know more about? You'd at least think the Indian kid would have had it drilled in his head in his 8 hours a day training for the contest.
I have a small elitist conundrum at work: Many of the people I work with are complete fatties. Uncoincidently, just about every one of my coworkers uses the elevator, even though our building is only four stories high. So every time I see some of them waiting around for the evelator to arrive (my office is right next to it) there's a part of my brain that says, "Stop being a lazy fucker and take the stairs, dammit." The problem with that is when they actually do take the stairs once in a great while, they're slow and in my way - I tend to run up and down the stairs - which makes me think, "Oh my god, get the hell out of my way you slow fucker." So it seems I can't win either way. I don't know what to think at this point.
I think this is similar to the thought of "Stop being a lazy shit and go lift some weights" followed by "Jesus christ, why are all these no nothings cluttering up my gym!?" I feel your pain though, I roll my eyes when I see people get on an escalator and just stand there, but get even more annoyed when those same people are in front of me on the stairs but are going even a modicum slower than I want at that given time. I could probably look at how this reflects on me as a person, but I'd rather judge lazy/fat people, it's a lot easier and more gratifying in the short term.
I know this is beating a dead horse, but I wish XKCD had posted this back when we were talking about steroids.
I still really wish this <a class="postlink-local" href="http://www.theidiotboard.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=18573" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">viewtopic.php?f=6&t=18573</a> thread got bumped. It is such a fun idea just dying pages back on the suggestion board. It has recently popped up on other websites in various forms.
