I don't know which is worse: knowing all the free porn websites, or knowing which days they update their free porn.
then my best friend's brother, boyfriend, and future bro in law showed up at the bar. they asked who i was there with. didn't know if "a 40 year old man" or "my 5th grade teacher" was better answer.
I think i just got paid for sex with a hot pocket... and i accepted
you know it's time to start studying when you've procrastinated to the point where you're reading your roommate's ex-boyfriend's wall posts from 2006.
They just came out of my bathroom and asked if I could spare them a condom. See. Its a good thing I have some.
My goal of the day is to not shit myself. That's it. Setting the bar real low
Found our threesome girl. She says I'm pretty. She doesn't know I'm pregnant. Yet. Think we can pull it off?
The party invite said "this ain't no lame stoplight party, you come to hookup or you don't come" I feel like their honesty deserves out attendance
Literally just saw a 7 year old intently rub his penis on the metro. I'm not ready for this
Im wearing a bra. Made of paint.
We are gonna sacrifice to and pray to every god in this world that he doesn't find out about her sleeping with his old roommate.
You were so drunk that you didn't even notice when I switched out your shot of jäger for a shot of maple syrup...before or after you drank it.
Let's celebrate that I used a condom
Cleaning naked can be dangerous. Vacuum cord got stuck on my belly button ring...
I shit myself when I came, don't have flu sex

Malicious agents are moving faster than the speed of business. Even more worrisome, most companies are relying on legacy approaches to security that are no longer capable of meeting current threats. In the modern cloud, threat diversity is rapidly expanding, necessitating more sophisticated security protocols than those used in the past or in desktop environments. Yet companies are falling for cloud security myths that were truths at one time but have evolved out of existence.

Gore's TV Staffers Not Happy About Being Sold to Al Jazeera
Al Gore may have gotten a multi-million dollar payday from his new friends in Jihadland, but his Current TV employees don't seem so all fired up about being sold to Al Jazeera.
Current TV employees were called to an early staff meeting in San Francisco and via teleconference to the New York and Los Angeles offices in order to be introduced to their new Al Jazeera masters.
Ehab Al Shihabi, executive director of Al Jazeera's international operations, and Muftah AlSuwaidan, general manager of the London bureau were in attendance and so was Al Gore's partner Joel Hyatt. But, Al Gore, Current TV's globalwarming-pushing star was nowhere to be seen.
"Of course Al didn't show up," one staffer grumbled. "He has no credibility."
Gore has been pushing his globalwarming snake oil for years now and has always done so in the offices of Current TV. But now staffers feel Gore is "nothing but a bulls***ter" for having sold his stake in the cable network to some of the biggest oil producers in the world.
Some staffers are reported as having been disgusted by Gore's insistence that the network play up stories about how great Obama's tax hikes were going to be, yet Gore himself made sure to get his monumental payday before all those tax rates were hiked.
Already two of the flailing network's putative "stars" have announced they are leaving their shows. Former Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm was the first to announce she was leaving. This week it was Eliot Spitzer's turn to announce his departure.
Al Jazeera's top men say that they'll be taking over programming in April. The plan will be to "inform, inspire and entertain."

Japanese Singer Shaves Her Head To Apologize For Having A Boyfriend
Minami Minegishi, a 20-year-old member of the Japanese girl group AKB48, released a YouTube apology to her fans over the weekend for the crime of dating someone.
Minegishi, a founding member of the group, reveals in the above video that she's shaved her head, which, according to the BBC voiceover, is a somewhat traditional Japanese act of contrition. She tells the camera:
"I was supposed to set an example for younger members, but my actions were extremely careless and senseless… My mind has gone completely blank. I don't know what I can do or what I should do, but I couldn't bear to do nothing… Everything I did is entirely my fault. I am so sorry…"
3. According to the band's official blog, after news of her boyfriend broke, AKB48 demoted Minegishi to "trainee level."
Photo taken Feb. 1, 2013.
4. Minegishi's relationship with Alan Shirahama, a 19-year-old fellow pop star, violated AKB48's rule strictly forbiding their members from dating.
Photo taken Jan. 12, 2013.
5. The band has 88 members, ranging from teenagers to girls in their early twenties, and are one of the highest-earning musical acts in the world.
Photo taken June 6, 2012.
6. They've sold 20 million CDs and hold the record for most amount of singles sold by a female group in Japan.
7. AKB48 has had a number of controversies surrounding them in the last few years.
Photo taken June 25, 2011.
8. The group has been criticized for sexualizing young women, with music videos involving members hugging and taking baths together, which some have accused of being possible child pornography.

Bad News, Impoverished Sinners: Lawmakers Want To Ban Buying Cigs And Booze With Welfare Money
As un-fucking-believable as it may sound, welfare recipients in New York currently are allowed to spend public-assistance money on things like cigarettes, booze, and strippers -- but hopefully not for long.
A bill has been introduced in the state Senate that would ban welfare recipients from using public coin to fund the bad habits that often times land them in hospitals -- where more taxpayer money often is spent to keep them alive.
The bill, sponsored by Republican state Senator Thomas Libous, also would ban using welfare money on gambling.
"Public assistance is designed to help needy families provide for their children until they can transition back to the workforce and become self-sufficient," Libous, the deputy majority leader, tells the New York Post.
Libous goes on to say that "this common-sense legislation would protect hardworking taxpayers from abuse while ensuring that individuals receiving welfare benefits continue to get the temporary assistance they need and deserve."
If Libous' bill doesn't become law, New York stands to lose about $120 million in federal welfare funding -- turns out the feds find public money going towards things like cigarettes and strippers is as ludicrous as Libous does.
Thanks to the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012, states that don't prohibit welfare money from going towards "sin activities" by 2014 will lose five percent of their federal welfare funding.
If the bill becomes law, anyone busted using welfare money for "sin activities" will lose their benefits for a month. A second offense will cost welfare recipients three months of benefits. Strike three will permanently ban a recipient from the program.

Dwight Howard hears boos, "Kobe" chants at Philippines game
Oct 10, 2013, 8:45 PM EDT
Kobe Bryant's fans are passionate, blindingly loyal, defend their guy like a pit bull — and they are everywhere.
Including the Philippines.
Dwight Howard and the Rockets were in the Philippines for the first NBA game ever there — a preseason game in Manila that wrapped up before you woke up Thursday. By the way the Rockets jumped out to a 12-0 lead in and never trailed in beating the Indiana Pacers (the interesting on court note from that game is you have to wonder if Patrick Beverly is beating out Jeremy Lin as the starting point guard spot for Houston).
Anyway, the Mall of Asia arena had a bunch of Kobe fans in it — I wasn't kidding, they are everywhere — and they let Howard hear it, reports interaksyon.com:
During the Rockets' preseason game on Thursday night against the Indiana Pacers, Howard was on the receiving end of some boos from the crowd at the Mall of Asia Arena.
There were also scattered chants of "Kobe! Kobe!" in reference to Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant, with whom Howard had a clash of personality during his one season stint in Los Angeles.
In the third quarter the crowd even gave Howard a Bronx cheer when he made a free throw. Houston fans may be doing that by Christmas.
Kobe has made multiple trips to the Philippines in the past on his summer Nike tours — the man has worked hard to build up his fan base in Asia. Those fans are like stateside Kobe fans in their passion and loyalty to the man — things Howard did not display in LA. Therefore, in the black and white world of Kobe fans, he is evil. Sad but true.
Howard should get used to this, he will get booed in Los Angeles this season, as well as some other stops as he has annoyed people everywhere with his two years of drama.
But the Philippines are the same as everywhere in another sense — win a title and Howard will shut up the boos and come back a conquering hero.
Just how Kobe turned those his boos around.

Drop, cover, hold for 100-year shake-out
Relevant offers
Opinion & Analysis
It's not every day you get an opportunity to cower under a desk with a globally renowned economist, but that possibility was on offer this week during the nationwide earthquake readiness drill.
In the end, Indian School of Business associate professor Reuben Abraham and I kept talking, but the event made a fitting backdrop for discussion of the increasingly shaky state of the world economy.
Abraham is an optimist. He reckons the United States is in better shape than it was before the global financial crisis, and that the world's most powerful economy will continue to generate disproportionate wealth for its citizens.
That's down to two things. First, unlike Europe, it is federally governed. It can make integrated decisions involving both its central bank and its political decision-makers.
Even if a Republican president is elected, Abraham is confident the US will, as Winston Churchill said, "do the right thing when all other possibilities have been exhausted".
Second, the US technological and inventive capacity is simply streets ahead of anywhere.
"Just spend an hour in Silicon Valley," he says. "You don't get that same sense of astonishment in China or India as when you are at Menlo Park."
Europe, however, is more problematic. With Spanish riot police using rubber bullets on protesters outside Parliament in Madrid this week, he sees Spain heading to a debt default within weeks, with political and economic chaos to ensue.
While he thinks future generations will "doff their caps to the US" for the way it handled the banking bailouts caused by the global financial crisis, "in Europe, there has been a colossal failure of leadership".
The ensuing shake-out could take a century, and at the end of it, Europe will need to have become more like a single nation and less a fragmented group of nation states.
However, when 600,000 march in the streets of Barcelona for Catalan independence, as they did last week, it's clear how hard that will be.
Even if there's not another war of the kind the European Union was established to prevent, there's a risk that various players, including perhaps Germany, will exit from the eurozone.
In Asia, Abraham is more optimistic. India, while chaotically governed and also suffering failures of political leadership, at least shares the federal cohesion of the US.
China, which he says is "run like a company" compared with India, can also be decisive.
India is also at a different stage of development from China.
The Middle Kingdom has passed through a period that Abraham likens to the "opening of the American West".
The Treasury is occupied with the implications of this global backdrop for New Zealand. The country's lead economic policy adviser is engaging with a wide range of economists, sector specialists and other navel-gazers to produce new 40-year fiscal projections. All its working papers are being made public as it proceeds.
The first tranche of papers was released last week, and includes a 60-page assessment by Treasury economist Mario di Maio entitled External Influences on New Zealand's Economic Potential.
In the context of Abraham's high-level view of what's happening in the world, there are some striking points.
First, the paper suggests the world, far from settling down after the global financial crisis, "may be entering a period of greater international economic volatility".
While globalisation has driven higher living standards for hundreds of millions of people in developing economies, that same inter-connectedness has created new global vulnerabilities.
Financial crises will recur, and developed countries like New Zealand will struggle to remain competitive. Di Maio warns that while long-term strong growth is the likely trend for Asian economies, we can't assume it will be a smooth ride. There will be "shocks and reversals" for some countries.
"The speed of development and size of India and China imply that developments in these economies have an increasingly large influence on global markets."
That's what we see now as Asia's slowdown rattles the trans-Tasman economies.
New Zealand's safety valve and protector from the global financial crisis is coming off the boil fast, feeding into the layoffs at Solid Energy, plant closures by Nuplex, and the tough decisions now emerging for Norske Skog at Kawerau, and the Rio Tinto aluminium smelter.
It's not pretty to think that, four years on from the global financial crisis, its delayed impacts are finally reaching our shores. But it's a fact, and one that will shape the economic and political debate for years to come.

That is messed up! Baby pi pi (baby wee wee in Ireland ) does EXACTLY what baby boys do. You take his nappy off and he pees on you.
I had the same thought. I think perhaps what they mean to say is that the female doll's inner labia and clitoris is covered by her outer labia. But why they think that that is more modest I do not know. There are plenty of women whose inner labia are large and outer labia are small (or non-existant), but that certainly should not mean that those women are immodest. Weird. But at least the manufacturer is making an effort.

The tryout episodes of So You Think You Can Dance are consistently among the least engrossing because they focus on the judges instead of the dancers. And since none of these experts possesses the smirking callousness of Simon Cowell or the weepy ingratiation of Paula Abdul, they're really not much to watch. Last night, there were simply too many close-up shots of judges solemnly uttering the words "No" or "Yes." (Toward whom? With regard to what? Sometimes, we didn't even know!) Furthermore, if producer Nigel Lythgoe expresses surprise about one contestant's prosthetic arm again, she'll be completely justified in ripping off the fake limb and throwing it at his head posthaste. Tonight's show should be better. As the twenty finalists are declared, we'll see some needy-greedy personalities and some routines in their entirety — we hope by B-boys whose life-saving moves are the program's greatest thrills. Up until now, it's basically been short clips and short commentary, leaving us shortchanged. —Drew Pisarra

Russell Williams appeared in defence department booklet
Defence Minister Peter MacKay has apologized after a photo of convicted murderer Russell Williams appeared in a Defence Department booklet.

Share via Email
OTTAWA—Defence Minister Peter MacKay has apologized after a photo of convicted murderer Russell Williams appeared in a Defence Department booklet.
In a statement issued late Wednesday, MacKay says he intends to inform the families of Williams' victims "of this terrible mistake" and offer his sincere apologies "on behalf of the entire military family."
Williams, once a rising star in the military and commander of Canadian Forces Base Trenton, was sentenced to life in prison in October 2010 after pleading guilty to the murders of Cpl. Marie-France Comeau and Jessica Lloyd.
He was also convicted of two sexual assaults and dozens of fetish break-ins.
The Canadian Forces stripped him of his rank after his conviction and, in a rare move, burned his uniform.
MacKay says as soon as he became aware of the photo's existence he ordered the military to destroy all the copies of the collected booklets.

Disciple - Remedy Lyrics
Disciple – Remedy Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I see the world in black and gray
Broken dreams of a runaway
Escape the world to medicate
Symptoms gone but disease remains
If the vision dies will it ever breathe again
Oh, I've got to let go of the illusion
This is the end of me, You are my remedy
Oh, it's taking its toll – this pollution
This is the end of me, You are my remedy
Where you stop is where you'll start again
[Verse 2]
I hold the weight of sorrow deep
Wide awake but my mind's asleep
Familiar needle scratches on my skin
Like a record warped with ill content
I've got to let go of all of this
It's the end of me, my remedy
[Disciple – Remedy Lyrics]
