Huh? Care to write a description because I've got no idea and don't think I want to Google "tantric sex".

"TANTRIC SEX is meditative, spontaneous and intimate lovemaking Through it you learn to prolong the act of making love and to channel, rather than dissipate. potent orgasmic energies moving through you, thereby raising the level of your consciousness. Tantra transports your sexuality from the plane of doing to the place of being. There is no goal in Tantric sex, only the present moment of perfect and harmonious union. Tantra teaches you to revere your sexual partner and to transform the act of sex into a sacrament of love.

Tantra teaches that lovemaking between a man and woman, when entered into with awareness, is a gateway to both sexual and spiritual ecstasy. In India, traditional Tantrikas spent many years under the guidance of a spiritual teacher and engaged in elaborate yogic rituals to purify and master the body and mind. These practices were intended to awaken the powerful psychic energies through which the adept could enter into higher states of consciousness When a disciple was deemed ready he or she partook in sexual rites with a partner.

Through the sacred act of love, they sought to merge the dual nature of their sexuality into an ecstatic union. Through this came the harmonization of their own internal masculine and feminine polarities and a realization of the blissful nature of the Self."

2. All of them except Sean Connery. I can't tell who any of the rest of these kids are anyway.
3. Any of these rock bands that rap. Makes me want to slit my wrists to hear this combo crap. If I want to hear rap music, I'll listen to it.
4. Ditto on the Wachtell. In my two encounters with them, they have affirmatively sucked.
5. Lawyer.
6. Fuck The Birds and anything else in B/W. We have technology, use it.
7. Happy Birthday. I know it's my birthday, quit singing to me because you suck.
8. Real World/Road Rules Challenge. These people are fucking idiots. I had enough of them the first time around.
9. Nobody ever thought to themself. "Boy, I'll bet it would be handy to have a piece of silk dangling down in my way". Clearly the neck tie.
10. Pool boy on top [of my wife]. I hate that one.

1. Risotto - Its a fucking rice puck.
2. Julia Roberts - Just awful on all levels; Tom Cruise - Midget
3. Everything on the radio these days. Utter crap.
4. Who cares.
5. Lawyer.
6. Lord of the Rings. An acid fantasy for dorks.
7. Whatever slop Clear Channel picked to be the top ten this week.
8. Everybody Loves Raymond. Not me.
9. Socks. No reason to wear them.
10. Eating a girl out. Admit it guys - its boring.

Hmmm. I suspect that these girls may be feigning their incompetence. It's not that difficult to avoid tooth-cock contact.

Think "sex on hallucinagenics", with or without the drugs.

Overrated! So many things. From actors to food. I want to know what you find overrated. I've selected a few categories to which you can respond, but welcome others as well.

What/who is the most overrated:

1. Food?
2. Actor?
3. Band or Singer?
4. Law firm?
5. Occupation?
6. Movie?
7. Song?
8. TV Show (Reality or otherwise)?
9. Article of clothing?
10. Sexual position or activity?

Please share reasons for each.

1. ANY SHELLFISH -- Too much work, not enough payoff.

2. MICHAEL DOUGLAS -- Never that impressed. Seems to play the same harried guy over and over again.

3. PHISH -- They can't hold the Dead's collective jocks and never will.

or CHER -- Bizarre warbling voice and can't dance a lick, but she's still considered a "legend".

4. MOST HIGH-PROFILE PLAINTIFFS' FIRMS -- They're looking out for the little guy (right!)...

5. What do you think??

6. ANY ALTMAN MOVIE -- Pretentious crap that makes no sense whatsoever.

7. THAT DAMN TITANIC SONG -- Though pretty much anything Celine Dion made money on would qualify...

8. 60 MINUTES - Just die already you miserable geezers.

9. Men - TIES -- Paying upwards of $100 for a lousy piece of silk that is invariably uncomfortable and useless has to be overrated. Now if you could still use it as a napkin like the olden days...

Women - EARRINGS -- Any guy who says they notice them or care what they look like (unless they are freakish) is a liar...

10. MUTUAL MASTURBATION -- Let's do something I CAN'T do on my own...

1. I know this is blasphemy, but Krispy Kreme donuts. The sugar overpowers the flavor. I was raised on Tim Hortons and I guess old habits die hard.

2. Matt Damon. Cute, but I can't get into him. I hear he's all broken up about it.

3. James Taylor. But not when I'm drunk. Then his easy-listening schtick just melts my heart.

4. They all kind of suck. (sorry, I know it's a cop out).

5. Drug dealer. At least that is what network television keeps telling me.

6. Dances with Wolves. Again, not if I'm drunk. Then it is really really sad.

7. I will always love you. So screechy and annoying.

8. Live with Regis and anyone. Just so unnecessary.

9. Bra. Damn that gravitational pull.

10. Anything in a close confined space. I'm not a midget.

[list=1][*]Polenta. Big Ed notes that if you call them "grits" you can't charge as much. Chutney ("jelly" in Big Ed's world) is a close second.[*]Actor? Too many to list. But that's ok -- fame is fickle, and the overrated ones will be underrated next year.[*]Band or Singer? Led Zeppelin. I had to pretend to like them in order to survive Podunkville High School. If I have to listen to another person tell me how influential their pseudo intellectual lyrics were .... please.[*]law firm? Those guys on U.S. Highway 64 who advertise on Dr. Phil's show. [*]Occupation? easy -- law firm partner! Two words: reviewing and adjusting invoices.[*]Movie -- the Matrix. An enjoyable flick, but not as profound as the Neo Disciples would have you believe.[*]Song -- Yeah, yeah, yeah -- I know that someone already mentioned it, but this one is a no-brainer"Stairway to Heaven." Give me a break -- "yes there are two paths you can go by/but in the long run/there's still time to change the road you're on." Ooooooh, so profound.[*]TV show -- "I Love Lucy." Lots of people I know and respect love it, but it just annoys me. "No Lucy, you can't be on my show!" "Waaaah, Ricky!"[*]Article of clothing -- low rise pants. I just don't see the appeal -- even fit women look bad in them.[*]sexual position or activity? Uh, how can any be overrated?[/list=1]

Ooh, good catch. A simply moronic show. (I'd nominate the Honeymooners, too, for that matter. And, on a different note, even though I adore adore adore it, I sneakingly suspect that the Prisoner is somewhat overrated.)

Also on my "ditto" list: Hoffman, Pacino and deNiro, all three of them overacting upstaging hacks, plus a hearty "hear hear" for the Julia Roberts nominaton.

Dances with Wolves sucked unreservedly.

And, GWNC, I hear you on the Tim Horton's thing. Far superior to the spun sugar-and-sponge that is Krispy Kreme. Good coffee, too.

1. Food -- Foie Gras. It's fucking liver. You know what liver is? It's the body's toxic waste dump. And the thing about Foie Gras that makes it better? More fat. Which means it stores even more noxious poison than most liver.

2. Actor -- John Travolta. Vinnie Barbarino gets to play with guns. Gimme a break.

3. Band -- Zwan. Billy Corrigan sucks nut butter, but he thinks he's god's gift to post-punk. The pumpkins sucked and the new band sucks worse.

4. Law Firm -- Jones Day. You're big. You've got a monster PR machine. Your heart is still in Cleveland.

Runner-up -- Winston & Strawn. Your glory days were over decades ago. Now you're most well-known for picking up partners who washed out of other firms and shedding partners who actually know how to practice good law.

5. Occupation -- Investment banker. You're ether an overpaid accountant or an overpaid sales clown. Either way, you are even more overpaid than a BIGLAW first-year and capable of doing so much more damage.

6. Movie -- The Matrix. Ted's mediocre adventures through the heating duct. Which color pill do I take to forget how much air has been wasted discussing this piece of shit?

7. Song -- I Like Big Butts. Who cares?

8. TV Show -- Anything reality, unless it's CNN or MSNBC. The only thing more offensive than the fact that networks are making tons of money cramming shite down our throats is the fact that the shite costs them next to nothing to make.

9. Article of clothing -- The necktie. It serves absolutely no purpose whatsoever, except for its proven tendency to restrict the flow of oxygen to the brain. For women, platform shoes. There's a reason clowns wear them, dearies.

10. Sexual activity -- Monogamy. After twenty plus years with the same woman, I'm convinced that monogamy is God's way of making sure we don't live long enough to overpopulate the planet. Men die younger than women because for crap's sake they can't wiat to be reborn and FINALLY get some fresh.

I suspect that you and Not_Discerning are mistaking "overrated" for "I have no idea where it stood when it was current, but we don't like it now". You both probably dislike the Red Skelton Show, too.

As E/O said earlier, Feh.

I have no idea what "feh" means, but the pure sound of it adequately captures my feelings for such a dismissal of Lucy or Ralph. I suppose the Wright Brothers' plane was pretty much a piece of crap by today's standards, too, but, when we rate its importance and meaning and significance, we don't expect it to race the Concord to Paris. We look to it in context, in its own context. Lucy and Ralph both brought an entirely new and untested mode of comedy to the masses, and they did it well.

Again, Feh.

As if you're such a treat to please and wake up to year after fucking year? Give me a break. Women last longer because we know you'll finally kick off and we WILL get some fresh.
