Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Announcements, Book / Magazine, Of Interest, Philosophy, Politics, Publishing, Touchy Subjects, TV / MoviesRay Bradbury wants it understood that when he wrote [Fahrenheit 451] he was far more concerned with the dulling effects of TV on people than he was on the silencing effect of a heavy-handed government. While television has in fact superseded reading for some, at least we can be grateful that firemen still put out fires instead of start them.

What exactly does it mean when a store’s personal lubricant section is larger than the condom section? I’ll tell you want it means! Too many people are rushing things! If you smoke after sex, you went too fast!
Granted, a lot of lubricant goes a little way when you’ve got the power tools out for some serious earth moving. And if you are brave enough to search Blingo for senior sex you will find that Google returns 2,080,000 links. Mom! Granddaddy’s bouncing on Granny again!
So, are we being targeted by marketers? Certainly! Fill up the shelves and people that have never used lube before will suddenly start thinking they need it! Hun, I was gonna buy you one of those tickler things and they had this slick stuff for $16.
Are more dried up crusty old people getting it on? Pfizer thinks so! Are people just getting kinkier? Darn tootin! Why else would prudish lawmakers in states like Alabama be trying to sway the tide with stupid laws that outlaw sex toys?
Btw, does anyone else hear banjos? Oh, nevermind, just a pig squealing.
Alright men! Repeat after me. If I am having sex on Friday, foreplay begins on the Wednesday before!
N.B. For people looking for the infamous some ladies prefer their tampons warm comment, it’s here.

We are in a Woot-off! Cool tool for watching inventory and an alarm sounds when products change.
If you find yourself asking, "What’s a woot?" I explain here.

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Lost, Of Interest, TV / MoviesOh that was good! They got me! You know. One question I find myself asking: Setting aside Ben’s mind games and apparent evil nature, have The Other’s (I don’t count Patchy) done anything terrible that wasn’t directly a result of an action of an Ocean Flight 815 survivor?

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Book / Magazine, Of Interest, PublishingI have multiple reasons for posting this link. The main one though is that it has been talked about so much and seems like such a cool book! It’s time to take the bubble wrap off our children!
add a commentA LOST Realization May 23, 2007 9:18 pm
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Lost, Of Interest, TV / MoviesLOST is all about Walt Disney’s Ophelia complex! See, ABC is owned by Disney. Disney loves to kill parents especially mothers. On the island, all mother’s must die. Michael’s boy Walt could make things happen with his mind which is an obvious tribute to Walt Disney. The smoke monster is one of Walt Disney’s manifestations. There you have it. LOST is Disney World!

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Lost, Of Interest, TV / MoviesBen is on a radio show right now. He just said, "Tonight’s casuality count will be unprecidented" "I shot him a little bit lower than the chest" "and where the wound is, is important" Ben also mentioned his character was only supposed to be on a couple of shows. Thanks for the relay by SingleDads!

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Lost, Of Interest, TV / MoviesI know what is going to happen!
Hiro shows up on the island which is really a big submarine and blows up just as we learn that Jack Bueur is really a pregnant lady and has to die then House claims he can save Jack but Wil Shatner intervenes with a legal loop hole explaining they have to blow up and everyone dies.
add a commentSomeone’s got to die! May 23, 2007 8:11 am
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Lost, Of Interest, TV / MoviesLast week I gave Cathy wishy-washy answers about who I thought would die on Lost this season. My guesses are: Bernard, Rose, Juliet, Tom and Charlie. I could also see the French lady taking a bullet and a piece of me thinks Desmond could go but I still believe the story is all about Desmond and Penelope. Who is on your death watch?
