Illeagle Immigration.......

Lot of debate on this one here in the US these days. This country is a nation of immigrants, most bust their ass to live a better life here because we do have some good things going on here! I'm not talking legal immigrants here, illeagle ones. On one hand it's pretty simple, Illegal is illegal....broke the law while thousands trying to get in legal are trying proper. On the other.....soooooo many already here and what and how do we deport all of them? Surely there must be a compromise yes? BULLSHIT!!!!! Lets take the wind out of this and put together a realistic compromise....because I'm a reasonable man. The current bill needs only 4 amendments.......and I could live with it. Amendment 1) As you are a federal convict, you are not pardoned. You cannot vote until you have been a naturalized citizen for 12 years. A work visa or temp visa does not make you a citizen. Amendment 2) You cannot sponsor a family member for citizenship until you are a citizen, speak english, and have a job and means to house and sponsor them. Amendment 3) If your child was born here illegal...current law does make them a citizen, but that policy has to go away after the bill. If this is how you got your citizenship...you can't sponsor another...for lets say 12 years. Amendment 4) As a guest worker, temp visa worker, non-citizen, your wages do not qualify for SSI, Medicare, Medicaid. Sound harsh???? Look back at what the system was during the days of Ellis Island...

TMI Tuesday...and another camp survived.

Another camp survived and ironically....no trips the ER!! This is a pic I snapped about 6am from the overlook of our campsite. I'm pretty proud of myself as I hadn't slept yet and we were still hitting the beer...:) You can't really tell, but that cliff is about a 20 feet above the river basin which kind of snakes along 2 sides of the thumb of land we like to pitch our tents. The mist off the river and backwater all had this golden glow...:) The girlchild made a camp first this year in that an ambulance was called. I suspect she'll reconsider bicycle gymnastics on steep dirt and gravel roads next trip. A little road rash and rattled nerves....but I think she'll remember why we say...ummmn....I'd not do that if I were you. I'm just thankful it wasn't an intentional audition for "Jackass"...:) She also got bonus points for smoking out the undercover cops patrolling the camp area, as they are the ones that called the ambulance. The federal ranger was friendly as he took our detailed information.......I digress.... Anywho.....off to TMI!!!!! 1. When you orgasm, do you hold your breath? )If the position is a 69.....there not really any other choice is there??? :) 2. Have you ever had sex or played around with a celebrity? )Define celebrity....:) 3. Do you think prostitution should be legal? Why or why not? )Absolutly!! Legalize....Regulate it...and tax it. I have yet to this day to understand why it's legal to spend "money" hitting on a gal at a pub, for the same act, but illeagle if you just gave her the money up front and got to it. Regulation would also remove so much of the danger of it as well, not just personal saftey but HIV/STD's. Would it be perfect?? No....but it would make a huge difference. 4. How do you masturbate? Do you romance yourself? Get straight to the point? Read erotic material? )Maturbation for me is usually not an endurance sport.....:) 5. Which gives you the most pleasure - intercourse, masturbating for/with your partner, being masturbated by your partner. )Always better with a partner in my opinion...:) Bonus (as in optional): Have you ever had a crush on a relative? My hot aunt when I was a kid...perhaps a cousin or two...:) Anywho...happy TMI goofs and friends!!!!!

HNT and camping soon!!!

It's official goofs and friends!! Camp season starts tomorrow, and the games begin! By this time tomorrow....beer bewbies and bonfires....and most likely HNT! I'd like to take a moment to thank you all for your comments about manchild. We were really lucky in a way that this was found and no real harm done. What we have now is a process of seeing if the docs say leave it be....or if they want to do more.....but football and jumping on trampolines are out of the question for now. Luckily he can toss horse shoes with the best of them, camping is still in his mix!! :) I'll probably toss out a friday post, but if not.....I hope you all have a great weekend. If we have your number....be prepared to be drunk dialed!!!!! :) Happy HNT goofs and friends!

Words.................

Words you say as a dad to make light of an awkward situation..... "Boy.....I've been telling your for years your head isn't on right!!" Words you don't mind hearing from Doc....... "It's a godsend really...no permanent damage, he should be fine in a few days.." Words you don't really like hearing from Doc..... "I've never seen anything like it....I really want to refer him to a neurologist....." ****finding out it's genetic.............

TMI Tuesday and CT Scans.......

So I get the call this morning......man child had an altercation at school and had to go to the ER. CT scan later of his head and neck......apparently he has two disks that are supposed to be fused together near the base of his skull.....that never did. Doc thinks this may be genetic....and may make some other things in my life make more sense.... Meanwhile I am assured the other involved has been "disciplined" and the school will pay for anything our insurance doesn't pick up.....I'm not sure I'm feeling terribly "assured" at the moment.....we'll see what the near future brings.. Anywho......off to TMI 1. What was your first job? )My 1st real job?? Kid stuff aside like stacking wood and mowing yards? Hrrm....One summer the high school had a pilot program sponsored in part by the DNR. It started with a 2 day "boot style camp" complete with a ropes course. If you survived the ropes course, they assigned you to a project...mine was to help refurbish a conservation club by clearing trails, creating new trails, build benches from cedar we harvested from their land. If you made the cut....then you got the gravy job!! Soil erosion survey!!! Sounds exciting huh?? Actually it was.....let me set the scene...1 adult (24) and 3 teens (16-18), 1 canoe, 1 infra red overhead DNR photo of 5-10 miles of river, 1 notepad, 1 case of beer. Our job was to canoe down that particular stretch of river, and find washouts and erosion sites that were obscured by overhanging vegetation...hand sketch the site on the notepad and reference it marker points on the photo...I'm pretty sure the beer was not official policy! :) At $3.35 an hour, I was a rich man!! :) 2. When did you go to your first funeral? )I've never yet as far as I know attended my own funeral in a memorable way....:) 3. What is the sexiest word in the English dictionary? )Hrrrmmmm....tough one here, most of my favorite words are not terribly sexy...I'll stick to my guns and say "Woman"...:) 4. Are you left handed or right handed? Which direction does the top of your head lean when you kiss on the lips? )So right handed I'd probably have to give up jacking off if I lost it. I tilt to the right when I kiss as well....:) 5. Males: Which way do you dress? )Usually to the left, and in clothing akin to my redneck behaviour...:) Females: Which breast is larger? )Unable to address this proper....but I'm a huge fan of boobies!! :) Bonus (as in optional):Define sexy? Sexy is not something you define, sexy defines itself....:) Happy TMI goofs and friend!!!!

A lesson in home wiring from Zig...

When rigging new equipment to you kick ass home network......a little homework goes a long way. Grounding is not for wussies......it's your friend!!!! When rigging an old analog stereo to your pc's sound system......magic smoke is bad...very bad. When connecting old speakers to your newly installed pre-amp......rated at 60watts per channel.....35watt speaker may fly at lower volume....3watt speaks do not fair as well. Always have a grasp at what the rated watage your speakers are rated for. OK......off to buy new speakers...happy sunday goofs and friends!!! :)

Just because......:)

A special post for music lovers..............:)

Friday night...random thoughts...

I was driving home from work one day awhile back now and saw the sign in front of the local "Country Kitchen". The marquee clearly and proudly stated "WE STOLE YOUR MOM'S MEATLOAF RECIPE". I chuckled....shook my head and thought to myself...you poor bastards.. Once...as head of IT for a smallish company...I had to contract out some work to a third party. We were having a punch down panel installed for the network wiring and it was taking longer than expected. I was at a different branch and called....got my favorite lass and instructed her to tell Karl to hurry it up......then followed up jokingly...if it's not done in 10 minutes tell him I said for you to kick him square in the nuts....she put me on hold and came back laughing hysterically. I told him she says.."I told him Zig says have it done in 10 minutes or I'm kicking you square in the NUTS!!!"......gotta love them Detroit gals!! :) I had to stop for some cables and adapters today on the way home from a road trip. I'm in the process of rigging and old preamp and turn table to my pc to covert our collection of records to cd and mp3. The pretty gal at the cash register rang me up...and then the spanish inquiry begins...( I hate this shit..you do not need my name, zip code and phone number to sell me shit!! ). I gave the name of my ex-boss, and his direct line...call him baby....call him..:) NOTE!! My bad...........camp starts next weekend!! Damn, I forgot Memorial is the the 25th this year!! Beer, bonfires and bewbies!!!! YAY!!!!

Sore muscles and Camping soon!!

It's funny actually, after the first few days of "I think I'm going to die" wore off, I'm feeling pretty damn good! It's been a very long time since I've done work like this....and my body is telling me...HA HA!! I was pondering the reality of it all a few nights ago...then it hit me....guys my age pay to go to the gym. I'm fricking getting paid to go to the gym!! :) Two weeks and counting.....the official start to camp season in the Zig house. Camp is always a festival of beer boobs and mayhem. While our music may not be as loud, our beer and beverages are cold. Tent camping in 30+ degree weather is a Memorial Day weekend given...but we may luck out. It's also my primary source of HNT!!! Camping with family naughty....friends naughtier.....and stray wanderers following drunken Irish songs....late late at night....all good!! :) This is a lil HNT from my cell phone......I'm not impressed with the quality...but camp is coming!!!! :) Happy HNT goofs and friends!! :)

Wednesday Inspiration....from Zig..:)

Always look on the bright side of life my friends!!!!! :)

TMI Tuesday....and feling pretty good...

Crazy sleep patterns abound in the Zig house, but the last few days were unusally odd. I'd get an hour here, an hour there....last night 6-7 hours of pretty real sleep! And now I'm just feling pretty damn good!! :) With a lil luck, I can get an appointment set up for theis week and the local CU. After weeks of finger pointing, think I know who to see about Comptia testing. I try to keep business local...but honestly, I should have just driven to a larger town, I'd be certified by now....grrr....i digress.. Anywho, on to TMI...!! 1. Have you ever used foods in your sexual activities (ie; whipped cream, syrup, popsicles) and how did you use them? )Several times..listerene strips a current favorite. One particularly fond memory is many many years ago with the Lovely wife. It was a hot summer day and we walked an old wood trail to the riverbank armed with a tub of redi whip and a blanket. The grass was a good 4+ foot tall, we tamped down a spot 5-6 feet off the trail and got comfy. Well camofauged and under the sun.....I suspect the fly fisherman walking up and down that part of the river had a clue...maybe not...:) 2. If your SO asked you to get them off using only your toes - would you do it and how? )My Fred Flinstone feet are useul for many things.....but suspect this would not be one of them. I mean c'mon...even if you have a hammer toe fettish, do you really what your jibbly bits rubbed with sandpaper.....ehh, some gals do I guess....:) 3. Would you ever participate in an orgy? Have you? )I've thought of it, but never have. A 3 way once...and in hindsite missed opportunities. I dunno, we have rules here and discuss the possibilities....we'll see..:) 4. What can a lover do to turn you on instantly? )She has a certain look she gets now and then.......That and just start blowing for no good reason.....yeah...that'll get me turned on in an instant..:) 5. Describe your favorite piece of lingerie or undergarments on yourself or your mate. (PICS PLEASE!!!) )I have this old silk robe that she has seemed to claim as hers. I kinda look like a drag queen in it, she looks much better in it than I do!!!! :) Bonus (as in optional): Describe the best orgasm you've ever had. ;) )I was going to be a smart ass on this one, say something like while some are embarassing....like in your pants at Walmart..they're all good..:) There was one a week ago that stands out though.....touched a piece of her mind and saw through her eye's a moment....for just a moment, as we lie on our backs spent..I could see the stars she sees....I'll count that one...:) Wanna participate in TMI? Go visit the crew and show them some love. :) Happy TMI goofs and friends!!

Warning from Zig!!!!!

I found this in my inbox today had to share it!!!! Creepy shit man!! Police are warning all men who frequent clubs, parties and local pubs to be alert and stay cautious when offered a drink from any woman.? Many females use a date rape drug on the market called "Beer." The drug is found in liquid form and is available anywhere. It comes in bottles, cans, from taps and in large kegs. Beer is used by female sexual predators at parties and bars to persuade their male victims to go home and sleep with them. A woma n needs only to get a guy to consume a few units of Beer and then simply ask him home for no strings attached sex. Men are rendered helpless against this approach. After several beers, men will often succumb to the desires to sleep with horrific looking women, to whom they would never normally be attracted. After drinking beer, men often awaken with only hazy memories of exactly what happened to them the night before, often with just a vague feeling that "something bad" occurred. At other times these unfortunate men are swindled out of their life's savings, in a familiar scam known as "a relationship." In extreme cases, the female may even be shrewd enough to entrap the unsuspecting male into a longer term form of servitude and punishment referred to as "marriage." Men are much more susceptible to this scam after beer is administered and sex is offered by the predatory females. Please! ... Forward this warning to every male you know.... If you fall victim to this "Beer" scam and the women administering it, there are male support groups where you can discuss the details of your shocking encounter with similarly victimized men. For the support group nearest you, just look up "Golf Courses" in the local phone book. For a demonstration of how beer works, click here: Beer Test

Happy Mothers Day from Zig..

To all you smokin hot mommies out there, I celebrate you! Your hard work, your thankless hours, your dedication and fears.....have not gone unobserved. Neither has your sexy curves, your enticing shapes, your tasty appeal. You are mommies....you are MILF!! :) If your not a mommy yourself...your mom is probably smokin hot too, I celebrate her as well!! Happy Mothers Day goofs and friends!! :) ***Oh yes....and go fuck yourself Michael Moore.

Saturday movie review..:)

So I was going to review a new favorite campy lowbrow soft porn today. In reality, this new addition to my library is soooo bad, it's pretty damn good in it's pureness of what it is. To do proper respect to this 2004 release from Fred Olen Ray, I was trolling around trying to find the dvd cover art. In my search I found THIS review over from the crew at Eccentric Cinema. After having read thier review...I knew I couldn't come close to topping it, so you really should read it...but I can add the following.. )Jezebelle Bond (Pre Boobjob) Smokin' Hot!!! )Danielle Petty (lesbian Bathtub scene) Smokin' Hot!!! )Nicole Sheridan (DUH) Smokin' Hot!!! There's some dinasours and guys in it also....and a magic time portal. What more can you ask of a movie of this quality?? :) ***OK....now off to shameless plugs. GLOW IN THE DARK YARD GNOMES!! Ya know you want one!! :) They also have yard gnomes that blow bubbles out thier arse!! :)

Mothers day HNT....:)

With this ring....I thee wed, Good mood and goofey, or sick in bed. For better or worse, or worse or better..we speak our names that have no letters. Secrets are shared...both with chuckles and dismays. All of which make me treasure our days. I love you Agrah!! Happy mothers day!! :) Now before you get all sappy on me.....yes...I am looking at your boobs!! :) Happy HNT goofs and friends...:)

Wednesday post and sore arms...

So an offer came by earlier this week to pick up some hours at a local factory. Pretty straight forward stuff, they are short handed and can use a temp grunt, I need some money as I'm still not formally employed.....everybody wins. It's no small bonus that they are willing to let me set my hours within reason, still do the stay at home dad stuff I kinda need to right now..:) My arms are f*cking sore!!!! Yes I can lug PC's around and crap like that, but the truth is...I've been a desk jockey most of my professional life. I'm using muscles I forgot I had..and they are telling me about it!LOL On to the blog....as some of you may have noticed, about a month or so ago, I changed the template. There were a couple of reasons for this.....mostly just because I personally like the 3 column layout better than a traditional 2. I tinkered and tinkeed for a few months with it on a test blog, trying to preserve the colour scheme..get the layout just the way I wanted......This my friends is where I made a huge ass mistake!! Zig broke the 1st comandment of web development..the cardinal rule....I only tested it in Firefox..well...because I use and like Firefox. Really...I know better than this, no excuses....but damn....some of ya shoulda spoke up. I had no idea just how crappy this place was loading in IE untill my dad (yes my dad reads my blog...and probably yours too...we are an extended family of pervs..:))pointed this out. I've tweaked the code..and from my end it seems to load proper now in FireFox, IE6+, and Opera. If any of you are Safari users...would be interested if it loads proper for you as well, I have no access to a Mac...so no way to test. Thats my day....take care goofs and friends!! :) ***Editors note: Some malformed java found and edited / or removed. Hopefully this will improve IE's load time..:)

TMI Tuesday...and enjoying a quiet day....

Lazy tuesday and TMI again already. Man..I don't know about you but it only seems like six or seven days since the last one. The weather is warm and the sun is out....all the lil yellow flowers in my yard are drinking it in....f*cking lil yellow flowers...bastards...every one of them!! Anywho....on to TMI!!:) 1. What sight, sound, smell, object or whatever most remind you of a special someone? Well thats a loaded question.....:) Zig is a sentimental creature...and really any little thing can flood a memory back to me..it's this wierd filing system that is my mind...most of the memories are good though...:) 2. Favourite body part/parts of the opposite (or same) sex? Ya'know....I used to think of myself as a boob man..(any size, shape, tilt), but I find as I get older this is not always so much so. Honestly...I'd have to say the eyes...if you have a glint of mischief lurking in there....I'm interested, then I'll start staring at your boobs. Ummm if your back is to me...yes, I'm probably looking at your ass..:) 3. Do you prefer to give or receive? Both...and often!! :) 4. One night stands- What's the protocol? Stay the night or get the hell outta there? By definition....get the hell outta there...politely and respectfully perhaps..but get the hell out. My best example...Angelina Jolie. Smoking Hot!! I'd do her...my wife would probably do her....I would not dare to fall asleep after. You might well wake up in a tub of ice with a note that your left kidney had been donated to a little kid in a 3rd world nation.....which they ate... 5. What is the strangest place you've had sex? Behind an uncles tent at camp...it was unexpected...it was pleasant...it was naughty.:) Bonus (as in optional): How old were you when you lost your virginity? Who was it to? Describe the event. Hrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmm.....where to start here and how do we define it. When I was about 8 or 9..I had this 15 year old babysitter that would let me do...just about anything, being 8-9, my equipment wasn't quite working yet but everything else....oh buddy...I miss her sometimes..:) 12-13...equipment working now, the odd girl with strange offers..like I'll give you a hickey anyplace you want...my response..how about one right on the tip of this...:) 15-16 The freckle faced redhead who had a body well developed beyond her years, who asked me after...was it good? I ofcourse, a man of my years happy for having gotten laid said well hell yeah. her response was "good, I've been working on this at home"...True story...AHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGG! Happy TMI Goofs and friends!! :)

Is it wrong??? Monday

Ok....so my dad has one of these critters on his den wall. It's always been a novelty, fun item, and topic of discussion...just a fun goofey thing. Then I found out one of our lil family member was kinda scared of it. Being me, I assured her that it was safe to walk past it...gotta walk past it to use the potty..just don't harass it. If you leave it alone...it will leave you alone. If you don't leave it alone though.....it will eat your fingers!! I'm told it took her weeks to get past this...but phhhpt....thats not todays story..:) Tonight we are at dad's place having a belated birthday celebration...kind of a group 3 in one thing. We are in the den...just kicking back...and wee one asks again about the moose, now emboldened and doubtful the moose head can ever be mean. I remind her...its not mean...just leave it alone, or it will eat your fingers. Enter my 10 year old daughter. She's had enough of this nonsense, and is going to prove to the wee one that it's not real...it's just a stuffed toy. She's working against me here......hrrrrrm....ok princess....ok... Slowly and carefully...princess sticks her fingers in the mooses mouth, just as she's about to say ..*SEE*??.I say with my back kinda turned GGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! The resulting shock and jump back from the moose head was rather impressive. Seems those years of dance class have paid off after all! I suspect it didn't help that the lovely wife, myself and dad didn't stop laughing for about 5 minutes.....this probably did not make the situation better..:) I think I made my dad proud.......:) Happy monday goofs and friends!

My ode to Paris Hilton.....

I usually try to avoid this type of nonsense.....and can't believe I'm going to soil my blog...but.....it is my blog...so tough shit..:) Paris...it's simple...shut up and do your 45 days. Good behavior, you may well be out in less than 30. You're right...you are being treated differently, your only getting 45 days...after violating your probation twice in 3 months into the 1st year. Probably didn't help you were 20 minutes late for court either...:) In short....suck it up bitch....move on...and pay somebody to ghost write your tragic tale. But here is an amusing video for ya to watch before you go.....:) Alternatively...should you choose to escape, you could try THIS.....:) Nuff said

Saturday Movie Review..and shameless plug! :)

Seeing as it's been awhile since I've done a movie review, I figured I'd roll out an old favorite. I've been meaning to post this for some time...as it is perhaps the best buddy movie I've ever seen. Thats right friends and peeps...."A boy and his dog". This 1975 flick is just so much fun...I'm not sure where to start. A very young Don Johnson plays our hero Vic in a post apocolytic world laid to waste. His only sidekick is Blood, a scruffy telepathic dog who only Vic can hear. Blood's primary role is to help Vic track down food and sex, and tell dirty jokes that Vic usually doesn't get. Why this movie kicks ass: )A young Don Johnson before he learned to act....arguably, he still hasn't...but I digress.. )A cranky telepathic dog with a dirty sense of humour. )A very young Susanne Benton...naked. )Jason Robards in big red lipstick. )Agrah actually liked it. Mix this all together with an unexpected plot twist at the end.....you got a great movie. Definately a lazy day rental well spent!! ***OK....now off to shameless plugs. This review has been brought to you by the fine folks at PRANKPLACE. Prankplace is your one stop shop for all kinds of odd / silly / disgusting things for those with an odd sense of humour. They have GLOW IN THE DARK YARD GNOMES!! Ya know you want one!! :) Happy saturday goofs and friends!!!

Da Count!..and Rock & Roll.......

As has been mentioned before here....the manchild has turned 13. As a proud father...rather impressed we've kept him alive..out of jail...and in relatively good spirits, I had to get a really cool gift. The Zig Jr. likes rock & roll, he likes video games, he likes attempting to play music.......there really was only one logical conclusion. A mere 3 weeks of searching yeilded the desired results...and on the evening of his 13th birthday.......presented with a brand spanky new "Guitar Hero II" complete with black death metal axe and waa waa bar. Why 3 weeks and "Guitar Hero II" as opposed to "Guitar Hero I" you may ask? Yeah.....well bite me!! :) The silly things are growing on tree's for X-Box 360......not the case for our tried and trusted PS2....and I'm not buying a new game station just because the tv says I should......I digress. So a week of head banging hard rocking fun later......we have a discussion about bands...and it came up, the really difficult one. The "Spinal Tap" discussion. Half an hour of debate me insisting they are not a real band....him insisting the movie was a spoof....but there was indeed a real band....me insisting it's the same guys spoofing as a real band....We agreed to disagree. Just remember young man..you may know abit about music, and have a decent cd player...but that pre-amp by my desk, the one my computers route through?? It goes to 11!! :) Tonight I'm thankful my son and I can have these talks... Tonight I'm thankful we can connect on something cool to us both... Tonight I'm thankful I didn't laugh at him when he insisted that the "Butthole Surfers" couldn't possibly be a real band...:) Happy friday goofs and friends.....I hope you had a good count today as well...:)

Warmer weather and camping soon!!!!

The time is coming soon friends, 3 more weeks and I can barely wait. It's been a long and relatively uneventful winter...we need the hell out! The anticipation is nearly killing me I swear!! That and I'm feeling kinda king shit and all for figuring how to embed my banner all by meself...:) Some of you already know this, but in the Zig house, Memorial Day weekend is the official start of camping season. That magical time of the year where we break out the tents...scrub out the coolers...and live like homeless people for lengths of time. Granted, homeless people with a well stocked bar.....so it's all good!! These excursions tend to be a crapshoot of happy memories. Anything from an aunt deciding going topless is still a good idea (it well....we love her) to playing horse shoes in a rain storm. My wife and kids have made a game of seeing if I return with or without fresh scars.....oddly, the E.R. has no record of me, but familiar with our camp...hrrm As camp is always a fresh source of stories and HNT, I've been saving this one for just the right time. The following is a happy memory from a wine festival with live music. The main act was none other than my favorite blues guy Duke Tumatoe, who still takes the time to bullshit with ya between acts and shake hands with fans new and old. The pic below is him on stage.....classic Duke!! :) Happy HNT goofs and friends!!!! :)

Wednesday post and disturbing events..:)

Ok....so we almost burned the house down last night, but thats not really an new event. We manage to do this kinda regularly......but I do find it disturbing that my lovely wife finds my best impression of Christopher Walken sounds more like William Shatner ...ehh I digress....:) Due to popular request, official rules for strip/take a shot Jenga coming soon!!!! :) With all this talk of 20 year reunion being tossed about......I dedicate this to Rockdog......live it...love it.....lick it man!! :)

TMI Tuesday....and I'm back!!

Man...am I ever jetlagged!! I had no idea that Dorklandia was so much like Ziglandia......but an 18 hour flight......WOW!!! It may have had to do with the fact our pilot only had 1 eye...that drifted, we flew in circles alot.....I digress... The corination was not quite what I was expecting, but the ceremony was interesting. I was presented a with a crown made of balloon animals, presnted by a clown making balloon animals....who I shot on the spot...I REALLY REALLY dislike clowns.....they creep me out damnit!! Then the after party.....ohhh man, this was one hell of an after party. Dorks know how to party!!! Several hangovers later...and an unsettling image of Chistopher Walken officiating a game of strip/take a shot Jenga forever burned into my mind...we are back. This is going to be a tough gig!!! :) On to TMI!!!! 1. Ideal amount of sex per week? As much as you can get and give back in a reasonable and satisfying manner...;) 2. Ever had an online affair? This one stumps me abit, as "affair" means cheating. I've had a few online "relationships" but never juggled 2 or more at the same time, or tried to juggle a seperate online with a real life. I have this tendency to date women who know how to use guns..... 3. Are you a member of the mile high club? Sadly....no, I did however stay a Holiday Inn Express once...... 4. Are you predjudice against any particular group of people? I believe we've already discussed my feelings about clowns! Besides that, you pretty much have to prove to me your an asshole before I write you off as one. 5. What constitutes bad sex? A strong burning sensation peeing the next morning would be one clue you had bad sex...:) Bonus (as in optional): Can females ejaculate? While I have never witnessed this personally, I have a rather large collection of video evidence (for educational purposes ofcourse) that supports this possibility....:) Happy TMI Tuesday goofs and friends!!!!!!! *** Some clown links to support my claims!! Killer Klowns from Outerspace, Shakes the Clown,Tripping the Rift, Stephn King's IT. I'm tellin ya...clowns are evil!! :)
