If some urologist tried that in an exam, I'd, at least, be leaning back and looking at him funny.

(ETA) Especially after he asked me to get hard.)

If only you'd had these facts at your fingertips when your long-lost college girlfriend pulled out the ruler.

She didn't go to my school. We met and hung out in Canada and I go see her every once in awhile.

"FUN WITH NUMBERS
Measure Your Penis
The best way to gauge penis size is to measure yourself as a urologist would.

Flaccid length: Measure immediately after undressing, since a cold or warm room can cause shrinkage or expansion. Do it while standing, and use a flexible ruler. Position the tip of the ruler gently against the point where the shaft meets your abdomen. Then bend the ruler along the shaft and read the length. Average: 3.43 inches

Erect length: Immediately after you become fully hard, measure along the top of your erection from the base of the shaft to the tip. Average: 5.03 inches"

In order to get an accurate flaccid measurement, you would have to measure about 100 times and take the average. Too much variance.

Because she's a Canadian urologist?

Way back in the day, back before Infirmation, before the Yahoo boards had transformed into the IB, life on the Boards was pretty idealistic. This was way before Slavey-Come-Lately even had a computer. Back then, it was folks like me, Plated, Cornhole, Paigow, etc., etc. A few of us had begun to get to know each other and occasionally hangout IRL. We thought it would be a great idea to have a GA party for those of us who were "out" with each other. At the time time, we referred to it as being "on the bus." E.g., "Hey, that Comma Chaser guy, is he on the bus?" There used to be a very cool bar in the East Village (this was back when the East Village was really the East Village) called Altamont - kind of a divey place, great music, fantastic juke box (tons of Stones, Dead, you name it), but sometimes a rough crowd. We hung out there all the time, and Plated, who had a Harley at the time, had befriended some of the biker-types who were regulars there. This was quite helpful because, being for the most part dorky lawyers, we often would get a lot of shit from some of the regulars, and it definitely helped to have Plated's biker posse watching our backs. Well, we decide to have a big GA blowout at Altamont, but we knew that this would piss some of the regulars off, who were already mad about the fact that we were hanging out there in the first place. So Plated gets the idea to actually hire some of these bikers as like our own personal bouncers for the party. Well, these guys decide that we need the real deal, so they have some Hells Angels friends to come in to bounce for us. Well, things get nuts. Cornhole is wandering around with this head full of mescaline, and totally serene look on his face. Paigs has some bad acid and is way tweaked. So, she is all over this one HA dude, and the HA dude's girl starts tripping and starts hanging all over this other random guy who is not a GA or a biker, just some dude in the bar. Well, the HAs are way messed up and soon they are working this guy over with chains and pool sticks. It was ugly. Anyway, that is what us oldtimers are referring to when we talk about Altamont.

You know that there is a board related to all things death pool right? It even lists out everyone's picks.

If you're talking about Spaulding, no one picked him and his death would not have counted because he was dead before March 1. So far there have been no hits in the pool. But when there are hits, they will be posted on the Death Pool Board.

Ps. You are not allowed to change your picks after March 1. They are set.

Excuse me, Atticus, but what is it you're trying to say to the not-all-male board?

Jeezus.

Besides, if you're going to pick out one item that is actually very bad advice, wouldn't you choose this one?

Guess Her Age
Have her punch her age into a calculator. Then have her multiply it by 7, then multiply that product by 1,443. Have her hand the calculator to you. Her age will be repeated three times. Watch: 28 (age) x 7 = 196; 196 x 1,443 = 282,828.

In Hank's particular case, perhaps for an ego boost?

Does anyone actually take their dogs to one of these places? There's a doggie day care facility down the street from my house, and every afternoon around the time I get home, there are several cars lined up with owners running to pick up their dogs. I like to think that I spoil my dogs. They get treats, long walks, their own back yard, they sleep in my bed, they go as many places as I they're allowed to with me, and I make sure that I'm there most evenings so they're not alone. I raced home during lunch for the first six months of the puppy's life to let her outside, I took the puppy to puppy classes, I bought the Displaced Dog his own puppy to play with. They socialize with a lab and another puli at least every weekend.

Yes, my dogs are generally alone for about eight to ten hours a day, but their lives don't seem so miserable that they should go to be baby sat for the period that I'm not home.

from realityblurred:

[Warning. If you are behind in your tv viewing, this blurb contains information about the episode of Curb that aired Sunday. This is your SPOILER message.]

Colby Donaldson's CBS bio tells us that the Survivor All-Stars player "moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting." His latest gig is quite a stretch: He plays himself on this week's episode of HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm, Seinfeld creator Larry David's improvised but fictional sit-com. During the early part of the episode, Larry David's rabbi asks if he can bring a "survivor" to dinner; thinking the rabbi means a Holocaust survivor, Larry invites his father's Holocaust survivor friend. The truth is revealed when Colby shows up. At dinner, Colby and the Holocaust survivor begin arguing after Colby insists that being on the show makes him more of a survivor, in part becasue the contestants didn't have snacks or toliet paper and had to sleep on the ground. The scene ends with them shouting at each other: "I'm a survivor!" "I'm a survivor!" This sounds tasteless and humorless in a recap, but Colby plays it well, mocking himself and the reality show relentlessly.

Sounds pretty funny to me.

[Edit to change spoiler message since the episode already aired.]

I've occasionally taken the BrazenHounds to "camp", like when the painters were here. Mostly, its a decent way to get them out of my hair for a while, if I need the house to be a dog-free zone.

They love it. My oldest, when I arrive to pick them up, ussually runs up, looks at me, and then trots back to the "playroom". I wind up chasing them all over with leashes.

I have friends who do this one or twice per week to give their dogs a chance to exercise extra during the week (the dogs in question are labs/goldens, etc., so they need the exercise). They are all BigLaw people who regularly work more than 8-10 hours per day. I never did it when I had custody of my dog (ex has her now), but I did hire a dog walker service so that I was sure she got out everyday and was not waiting on me if I had to work late. She LOVED the dog walkers. They were very nice to her and she enjoyed the exercise (she was also a hyper breed).

Oh. Nevermind.

When was Curb this week anyway? I saw that The Sopranos were on at 8 (CST) but I don't watch that (I did for the first season, but it lost me at some point after season 1 - I'm fickle), so I switched over to my A&E marathon. Was it on at 9? Was Colby any good?
