Meme - Classic Movies I've Never Seen

I’ve never seen the Wizard of Oz, Indiana Jones or Casablanca.
Your turn Tumblr.
Chinatown, All Quiet on the Western Front, Scarface, Howard the Duck ok, I actually saw Howard the Duck
Point of comparison
Comparing these images is kind of ridiculous. Women don’t all look the same at 3, 6, or even 9 months of pregnancy. A girl in my high school got pregnant in 10th grade. She was very athletic and played on the basketball team until she was 8 months pregnant. At no point in her pregnancy did she wear maternity clothes, and simply by wearing multiple layers was she able to hide it. No one knew...

I’ve always loved this quote. I think it is so odd that a man wrote it; because women love it, and men probably don’t understand it. Well, maybe a few do.

McCain, this whole ‘picking a woman’ thing is really, really low and an obvious ploy to snatch up all of Hillary’s supporters. I hope it backfires.
And with all due respect, Governor Sarah Palin, you’re an idiot. Jumping on a sinking ship isn’t the best thing to do at this point. I don’t know anything about your political stance...

There are 199 “Nick Douglas” or “Nicholas Douglas”es in the U.S. Only one Thor Muller (friend), one Lockhart Steele (former editor), one Cole Stryker (friend and he’s in England right now so I guess that makes none). Lucky bastards.
There are 1 or fewer people with my name in the U.S.A.
It’s the “or fewer” that scares me.
I am also the only one with my name. I’m...
You Get What You Pay For
From Seth Godin’s blog:
If you don’t want spam in your inbox, never respond, never buy anything. Not even if it’s a good deal.
If you don’t like TV commercials featuring loud aggressive announcers, don’t buy what they’re selling. Ever.
If you don’t want people ringing your door asking for donations, don’t give, no matter what.

Anyone want to read this book?
A preschool teacher finds a whole new dark and dangerous world when she’s suddenly anointed with demon-fighting powers and attracts the attention of a sexy shape-shifting griffin. All is not grim because inexplicably, she is able to hear her Jack Russell terrier’s crazy and sometimes hilarious thoughts.
Yeah, me either. It’s a real book though. Watch out New York Times...

Doctors were surprised to find a 2 cm long fish in the penis of a 14-year-old boy from India. Apparently, the fish had slipped up the penis and into the boy’s bladder.
The patient was admitted to hospital with complaints of pain, dribbling urine and acute urinary retention spanning a 24-hour period. According to the boy, the fish slipped into his penis while he was...

WatchMLB Instant Replay To Start On Thursday
I’ve never been a fan of getting instant replay in baseball. If they keep it to home run calls, I suppose I could get behind the idea. It’s a slippery slope, though. This guy agrees.

The comments are pretty great. I especially related to this one:
My mom used to send us out in the morning during the summer saying “it’s a beautiful day- there will be no sitting around the house. I don’t want to see you again until dinner.”

I was reminded of this today by my friend Rachel.
Cortisol levels generally peak in the morning between 6 and 8:30 AM anyway, but that peak is even higher for lonely people. This hormone can actually damage memory cells in the hippocampi.
Am I promoting sex? Not exactly, but dammit, we humans need each other.
Oh nice. More great news.

I love getting Facebook requests from people I went to high school with. They are all married, they all look older than me, and their spouses are not attractive.

I think this is a really great idea, and I’ve read lots of blogs about how stupid the commenters are on youtube and other places, but honestly…I don’t really bother to read youtube comments....
