Please. Have you ever googled the term "sex"?

You can DO that? What do you get?

Okay, never mind, I tried it.

I have to go now . . .

Just did. I was surprised to find that the first page of results contains not a single porn site.

Louisiana House wants to criminalize low-rise pants. Seriously.

spree: news story

Arguing against the bill:

"I can think of a lot of workers, plumbers, who are working and expose their buttocks and the beginning of the crack of their anus."

What sort of "plumber" is this guy using? The bill's sponsor sounds like a genius as well:

"Shepherd said such technicalities generally would be overlooked by police, who would only cite violators who deliberately wear pants low on their hips. His bill does not define an unlawful outfit.

"It's sort of like nudity," he said. "You know it when you see it.""

As long as plumbers are included, I'm all for it.

Not to be an asstimmy, but those pictures do not show cracks of plumbers' anuses.

Interesting. I think Google may be trying to alter their search engine so that when kids type in words that might hit on porn sites, the porn sites don't come up right away.

It used to be when you typed in "teen girls", all you got were porn sites. When I just did it now, the only porn site was one of the paid sponsor ads that pop up. Guess they need to work on their paid sponsor ads.

If you type in "jew" the first page that you hit is an anti-semetic site. Jewish groups are trying to get google to change that.

Exactly. A board member set me straight earlier. I confused regular old ass cleavage with anus cleavage as well. I have low-rise jeans that if I am not careful with bending over, may show ass cleavage. But anal cleavage? I dont' even think Tara Reid shows that.

Quick, call Cathy Guiswite! Looks like someone stole her material.

Calvin Trillin doesn't need to be stealing anyone's material. In my universe, he's one of the funniest people around. Of course, in my universe, the sky is teal, so YMMV.

I'm not surprised -- I would think that people would link to a lot of other sites more than porn sites.

I liked this part as well:

"As proposed, the bill would be tacked onto the state's obscenity law, which restricts sexual activity in public places and the sale of sexually explicit items."

I figure this law gets quite a workout in New Orleans during Mardi Gras.

is this one of the bands that was recommended by folks?

Tortoise is cool, but may not be your kind of thing. Not much in the way of lyrics/singers, and not really rocking. That said, I heard one of their new songs today on the radio (!!) and it put me in a good mood. Why do you ask?

Perhaps the greatest sports related tirade of all time is still the April, 1983 obscenity-filled locker room rant to reporters by then-Chicago Cubs manager Lee Elia (directed at Cub FANS, no less). Here's an uncensored transcript. The audio of it is priceless (available online at various places):


"Fuck those fuckin' fans who come out here and say they're Cub fans that are supposed to be behind you rippin' every fuckin' thing you do. I'll tell you one fuckin' thing, I hope we get fuckin' hotter than shit, just to stuff it up them 3,000 fuckin' people that show up every fuckin' day, because if they're the real Chicago fuckin' fans, they can kiss my fuckin' ass right downtown and PRINT IT.

"They're really, really behind you around here... my fuckin' ass. What the fuck am I supposed to do, go out there and let my fuckin' players get destroyed every day and be quiet about it? For the fuckin' nickel-dime people who turn up? The motherfuckers don't even work. That's why they're out at the fuckin' game. They oughta go out and get a fuckin' job and find out what it's like to go out and earn a fuckin' living. Eighty-five percent of the fuckin' world is working. The other fifteen percent come out here. A fuckin' playground for the cocksuckers. Rip them motherfuckers. Rip them fuckin' cocksuckers like the fuckin' players. we got guys bustin' their fuckin' ass, and them fuckin' people boo. And that's the Cubs? My players get around here. I haven't seen it this fuckin' year. Everybody associated with this organization have been winners their whole fuckin' life. Everybody. And the credit is not given in that respect.

"Alright, they don't show because we're 5 and 14... and unfortunately, that's the criteria of them dumb 15 motherfuckin' percent that come out to day baseball. The other 85 percent are earning a living. I tell you, it'll take more than a 5 and 12 or 5 and 14 to destroy the makeup of this club. I guarantee you that. There's some fuckin' pros out there that wanna win. But you're stuck in a fuckin' stigma of the fuckin' Dodgers and the Phillies and the Cardinals and all that cheap shit. It's unbelievable. It really is. It's a disheartening fuckin' situation that we're in right now. Anybody who was associated with the Cub organization four or five years ago that came back and sees the multitude of progress that's been made will understand that if they're baseball people, that 5 and 14 doesn't negate all that work. We got 143 fuckin' games left.

"What I'm tryin' to say is don't rip them fuckin' guys out there. Rip me. If you wanna rip somebody, rip my fuckin' ass. But don't rip them fuckin' guys 'cause they're givin' everything they can give. And right now they're tryin' to do more than God gave 'em, and that's why we make the simple mistakes. That's exactly why."
