1. So I’ve been unemployed for over a month now and I am somewhat apathetic and lacking in motivation and I think I need someone to kick my ass. I would kick my own ass, but did you know that What Not To Wear comes on TV in the middle of the day? It keeps me busy.
2. Seriously. Kick me.
3. Earlier today, Caryn sent me a link: World’s first testicle cookbook. There are many things I could say about this but um, haha! Cooking with balls! So disturbing! Here’s what I wonder: if you invited a guy over and said you were going to cook dinner and he saw that cookbook on your shelf, how long do you think it would take before he figured out a way to leave? (Please note: Ljubomir Erovic, the cookbook’s author, says “All testicles can be eaten — except human, of course.” Of course. Insert jokes here.)
4. Another link: Yet Another Bullshit Top 10 List. Here is a post and, if you read the comments, a discussion of a list posted on Spike TV’s website of movies guys won’t admit they love. Some of them make sense, sure. But some of them, not so much. And honestly, I don’t know if I can love a man who does not love The Princess Bride, because I think not loving The Princess Bride speaks to deep character flaws such as an inherent inability to appreciate awesomeness and Andre the Giant’s mad rhyming skillz.
5. This morning I got some comment spam that said the following: Halloween mens costume from the haunted house. Avoid Premarital Sex. I have been trying to figure it out all day.
The last thing I want to do is badmouth the small-dicked wonders over at Spike, but who told them it was OK to write stuff that might be read in public? I just don’t get it. I think the fine folks at Pajiba had all the right answers to the so-called ‘list’.
And aside from the obvious questions about what kind of chipmunk-raping asshat WRITES a book about testicle cuisine, what kind of people actually buy it? And what upscale grocer actually carries the wide array of balls necessary to follow such recipes? And assuming the stars align, why eat testicles? WHY? With so many foods in the world unrelated to genitalia, who yearns for the scrotum on their dinner plate?

Posted by Denny | October 7, 2008, 9:31 pmOk, I have to ask, who, male or female, does not love The Princess Bride? I would venture, nay, issue as an edict, that anyone who claims not to love The Princess Bride is most likely a killer android. It has genetic oddities and sword fights! Those are two of guys favorite things!If they had thrown in a midget, it probably would have won an Oscar.

… testicles for starters… penises for main course? hahaha.. *snort.. yeah that was my joke insert..
Posted by manu | October 8, 2008, 12:08 amI was more confused by the fact that Sense and Sensibility made the list at all. Because that one isn’t so much a movie that men won’t admit to liking as it is one that men actually don’t like–at least, none of the men I know.
And let’s face it, even though it’s one of my favorites, I admit that I too get the feeling of over-saturated femininity by the third utterance of “pianoforte”.
