Once you've seen a number of senior German and Italian men in speedos, you'll run, not walk, for that Dead parking lot. And their topless wives ain't no treat either. ¡Ay Caramba!

I saw enough of that at ZUMA beach to put me off of going to Italy for a very long time. What is it with Italian guys with the fat gut and the speedos? And for chrissakes, put a t-shirt on! And if you're on the beach the ghetto chain is not necessary.

PJ, you read my mind. eEery so often I see Robin Williams out running. He looks like a woolly mammoth and it grosses me out whenever I see him.

13. Never do the upstairs shower AFTER the kitchen because when the shower leaks, you WILL have to re-do the kitchen.
14. Home Improvement ALWAYS costs twice as much as you thought it would.
15. Get a health club membership so that at least you can take a shower when the (electricity/water) is turned off.
16. Don't listen when people tell you something is "easy" to do.

17. Men with power tools are sexy.
18. Women with power tools are sexier.

That should read: Every so often I see Robin Williams out running.

I have no particular euro-expertise, but my sister, who dates a German, insists that anything but tight-fitting bathing suits and underwear are anathema to european men. It doesn't matter the age or the size of the gut--tighty-whiteys and speedos for all. Her observations certainly accord with the horrifying sites I've seen on some european beaches. I'm limiting all future trips to Fall and Spring (Winter's out too -- coed naked saunas throughout the Alps).

I'm surprised that no one ever posts article from Nerve here. Like this one, about a guy who does different drugs, has sex and writes a lab report about it.

"We settled on ecstasy, cocaine, marijuana, mushrooms and Viagra. Each would be evaluated by six criteria: immediate physical effect, tactile response, duration of sex, mental images produced, lab assistant's reaction, and comparison to usage outside the sexual realm."

Anyone have any good stories they want to share?

I'm not feeling the need to share, but it is interesting how drastically people's experiences with drugs and sex can vary. Funny story. Very accommodating girlfriend.

I was impressed that this guy gets paid to take drugs and have sex without having to get involved with prostitution (unless you count writing about it all).

I don't have any good stories myself although I knew some people in college who tried to do whippets while they were having orgasms. Apparently, it was pretty hard to time properly.

If you signed up for the CD price-fixing settlement, you're going to get a check for $12.63, altho' it's not clear when.

The only big deal about any of this is that he actually kept notes.

Did any else out there get bit in the ass courtesy of Sallie Mae's calculation "error"???? Apparently 800,000 accounts got f**ked up and they're increasing payments on these accounts to reconcile their little oopise.

Thoughts?

The worst is a pasty dude with bacne. That's just fucking disgusting.

I recall basketball practice in 8th grade where they'd split us into shirts v. skins. I always had to guard this tall kid who dribbled with his back to the defender and his back was covered in bacne. I couldn't even guard the motherfucker. I'd just hand him the lane praying he'd turn around. Doing suicides was better than chancing having his back bump into me.

No. And someone finally got it right - http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl...L&type=tvradio (article re why these shows suck from an admitted reality TV watcher).

Speaking of topless, I haev noticed men in my neighborhood walking the streets topless. More often that not, they are pale, pasty, middleaged with gray armpit hair. I have also seen a couple of superbuff guys with shaven chests. I dont really want to see that either. Isnt this against the law or something? It should be. ITs a crime against my eyeballs. I have never seen such a public display on the sidewalks before and I will take off my shirt in protest if it keeps up.

You think that's bad? Try going to a nude beach sometime. I went to one a few years back with my then SO for a lark. I was hung over and nearly lost my cookies all over the sand when I saw some of the eyesores roaming about. Foul. We tried to walk to an area where less ugly people were congregated.... we found what I can only describe as a scene which must have appraoched what it was like to be backstage when Queen and the Village People played on the same bill in the Castro District during the 70s. I felt like I'd stumbled into the weight room in jail. Yechhh... won't do that again.

Here's a law student's blog where be posts pictures of the casebooks that he takes to the range and shoots to smithereens after he finishes the course. It's therapeutic, apparently.
