eV To Make Secret Afghanistan Visit

This visit will take place prior to my annual Miami “Spring but not Sprung” spring break.

But if allowed, you just know she'd be giving that special lap dance in chambers if she thought it would help her case. Stay tuned...It's definitely gonna be a rough ride!

~It seems that one would actually have to lift one of your body parts in order to see another/or the one you’re ATTEMPTING to share
~You spread something and it looks bigger, older, and scarier than it did closed, PLEASE!

All Tied Up And No Place To Go

Wed Feb 15, REUTERS
A German youth who tied himself to a foldaway bed because he was bored was rescued by police after becoming trapped in its mechanism, officials said on Tuesday. Neighbors alerted the police in the western German town of Schwelm after hearing the 16-year-old's cries for help late on Monday night. When police entered the apartment, they found the bed had folded itself away and the red-faced youth was tied upside down to it with a tow-rope and wire and unable to free himself. "He said he did it because he was bored," said Dietmar Trust, a spokesman for the local police. "He was visibly embarrassed but it was also a pretty amusing situation.
eV comments: Oh, but I must …So, was he dressed or undressed? What else does he do “to relax?” And, where is his ‘tie me up, tie me down’ partner that cruelly abandoned this young man?

Dick, (refraining from another cheaper, but applicable joke line), quails do not wear orange vests and carry guns!

Lucky Dozen Prisoners To Get Conjugal Visits
Reuters-Twelve exemplary inmates at Beijing Women's Prison will be allowed to celebrate Chinese New Year with 24-hour conjugal visits from their husbands, according to the Xinhua news agency. "The prison authorities said they will select one woman with exemplary behavior from each of the prison's 12 units to enjoy the special treatment," Xinhua said, adding that it was the first time conjugal visits had been allowed at the prison. The prison had 12 standard guest rooms with separate bathrooms, double beds and "other necessary facilities for the special day." But a Beijing News commentary questioned the legal basis of the move, because conjugal visits are not covered in the law. "If the 24-hour visit is recognized as extending care to female prisoners, then the prison authorities should offer the same treatment to all inmates, not just 12 of them," it said. The commentary also warned the prison of unexpected pregnancies. Beijing Women's Prison is the only one of its kind in the city, with 900 prisoners. Chinese New Year this year falls on January 29.

Are there any BUTCHES out there?
I am just about to give up butches all together! Hello? Is anyone out there? I can't help myself - butches/studs are so very hot! Personally, I am tired of all the tweeners, sporty girls, femmes, high femmes, and women that don't realize that they are high-femme. I am NOT looking for a relationship. I would like some fun dates/dinners or quiet evenings in with someone new. I prefer butch tops, but I know that those are even harder to find! I know all the posts on here are anti-butch so I am hoping that means there are a few single butches hanging around ***** somewhere. I LOVE older women - prefer over 30 and am VERY attracted to butches in their early 40's. I don’t know if anyone is out there. PLEASE feel free to contact me and we will take it from there! Maybe all the butches have migrated elsewhere and I am just talking to myself.

Size Does Matter in Bats' Evolution
By WILLIAM KATES, Associated Press
For some male bats, sexual prowess comes with a price - smaller brains. A research team led by Syracuse University biologist Scott Pitnick found that in bat species where the females are promiscuous, the males boasting the largest testicles also had the smallest brains. Conversely, where the females were faithful, the males had smaller testes and larger brains. "It turns out size does matter," said Pitnick, whose findings were published in December in "Proceedings of the Royal Society: Biological Science," an online journal. The study offers evidence that males -at least in some species - make an evolutionary trade-off between intelligence and sexual prowess, said David Hoskens, a biologist at the Centre for Ecology and Conservation at the University of Exeter in England and a leading authority on bats' mating behavior. "Bats invest an enormous amount in testis, and the investment has to come from somewhere. There are no free lunches," said Hoskens, who did not participate in the study. The relationship between the breeding system and relative brain size has received little investigation, said Pitnick, who teaches evolution and population biology and researches topics such as sexual selection and sexual conflict. Bats are the second largest group of mammals (behind rodents) with about 1,000 known species. Because of their exceptional navigational and flying abilities, bats have been the subject of countless studies, providing Pitnick and his colleagues -Kate Jones of Columbia University and Gerald Wilkinson of the University of Maryland -with a bounty of data without having to slink off into caves. Pitnick's team looked at 334 species of bats and found a convincing contrast in testes size. In species with monogamous females, males had testes starting at 0.11 percent of their body weight and ranging up to 1.4 percent. But in species where the females had a large number of mates, Pitnick found testes ranged from 0.6 percent to 8.5 percent of the males' mass (in the Rafinesque's big-eared bat). "If female bats mate with more than one male, a sperm competition begins," Pitnick said. "The male who ejaculates the greatest number of sperm wins the game, and hence many bats have evolved outrageously big testes. "Promiscuity is known to make a difference in testicle size in some other mammals. For example, chimpanzees are promiscuous and have testicles that are many times larger than those of gorillas, in which a single dominant male has exclusive access to a harem of females. Large brains, meanwhile, are metabolically costly to develop and maintain. Pitnick's research suggested that in those bat species with promiscuous females, the male's body used more of its energy to enhance the testes -giving it the greater adaptive advantage- and lacked the energy it needed to further develop the brain. The study found that in more monogamous species, the average male brain size was about 2.6 percent of body weight, while in promiscuous species, the average size dipped to 1.9 percent.
eV comments: A lot of women already suspected this about another mammal species before this study!

COPENHAGEN, Denmark - Is it a sprinkle or a tinkle? Danish artist Uwe Max Jensen has been fined about $165 for peeing in public. But Jensen denies the allegation. He says what he did was a performance art piece.
He claims he just pretended to pee against a wall, by squirting water from a plastic bag. The court ruled it's not necessary to prove whether he urinated or just sprinkled water. In any case, the court says Jensen's behavior was "obscene" and illegal.

Love IS a Hurting Thing

Copyright 2006 Newsday Inc.
Betty Basile's stabbing of her longtime partner had brought Josephine Romanzi perilously close to death. But when the victim stood facing her attacker yesterday in a Mineola courtroom, Romanzi had only words of encouragement for the woman who almost took her life. "You know who you are," Romanzi said to Basile just a few feet away from where Basile sat handcuffed awaiting her sentencing. "You can still turn it around. You can still be the person I met, OK?" Basile nodded, her face quivered, and then she broke down. "All you had to say to me [before the attack] was 'I'm in trouble' and I would have done anything," a weeping Romanzi told her partner of 24 years, referring to the financial dispute that led to the attack last April. Then she added that she was speaking to Basile publicly because she wasn't permitted to visit her. That prompted Acting Supreme Court Justice William Donnino, who issued an order of protection keeping Basile away from Romanzi, to note that it was clear that "her desire is inconsistent with the order." After consulting with prosecutor Barbara Kornblau, he amended it to allow the women to visit while Basile is in prison for the 6-year sentence he imposed. Basile pleaded guilty last December to attempted murder and first-degree assault. The two women ran a Hicksville counseling agency and were known as "Joi Eden" and "Betty Sun." Romanzi, 59, was hurt so badly that she said yesterday she "died twice" during surgery and has permanent injuries. Romanzi said she was stunned by the attack and had fought to stay alive during the stabbing because "I didn't want my murder on her soul." She asked for leniency for her former partner, saying "I hope she gets the help she needs." Basile, 57, apologized to Romanzi and her own family, who attended the sentencing, saying, "If I could turn back time ... I can assure you I would ... I can only imagine the shame, hurt and pain I have caused all of you." Then, she turned to Romanzi and asked her to "not forget the years and the good times we had." Basile's attorney, Eugene Cordaro, said it was still a "mystery" why Basile, a community activist who taught t'ai chi ch'uan and advocated New Age practices that led to "serenity," had snapped. He said she had suffered from unspecified physical issues. Kornblau called the stabbing a "vicious and brutal attack." She said Basile stabbed Romanzi in the Levittown home they shared with Basile's parents, also trying to smother her with a towel.

Lie of the year so far?
Just when I thought I could avoid talking about Star Jones-Reynolds, new excerpts from her book just made me drop and roll. Mrs Al Reynolds now says the most she ever weighed was 250 lbs. I bet that when she weighed 300 plus pounds she still had 155 lbs on her driving license. All overweight people have had at least one license that said 155 lbs, no matter what their weight! And to add to the big lie, Star says she lost the bulk of her weight by doing eight weeks of boot camp workouts and pilates! Yeah, right! The truth is she could have been the first black teletubby, Sta-Sta.

You're Never Too Old to Die
Clarence Ray Allen, 76, and wheelchair bound will more than likely be put to death by lethal injection early Tuesday. No Snoop Dog, no Jessie Jackson, no nothing. Allen was convicted of ordering the 1980 murders of three people in Fresno -- Bryon Schletewitz, 27, Josephine Rocha, 17, and 18-year-old Douglas White -- while serving a life sentence at Folsom Prison for ordering an earlier killing. One of his lawyer's arguments was that the execution of Allen -- who has heart disease and diabetes, among other health problems -- creates a spectacle because he will be wheeled in and carried to the table, all the while unable to even see those who have come to witness his execution. And their point is? Fill out a complaint card and keep him moving. They ought to kill him for playing the Indian race card. Wonder if he will be allowed to wear the beaded headband? He stated in an earlier interview that he will see the victims in the afterlife and explain to them that he never plotted to harm them and never wanted them harmed. Oops! So I offer a solution for Mr Allen's dilemma: Have all the victim's family members press really close to the glass and shout really loud, "Can you see me now?"

Town Law: All Must Carry a Condom
The townspeople of Tulua, Colombia might want to start cleaning out their wallets soon. A member of the town council is proposing a new law that would require everyone--men, women and visitors age 14 and over--to carry at least one condom with them at all times to reduce unwanted pregnancies and curb sexually transmitted diseases, reports The Associated Press. If the law passes, anyone who is caught without a condom could be fined $180 or ordered to take a safe sex class. "Sexual relations are going on constantly," councilman William Pena told AP. "If you carry a condom, chances are you'll use it during the day. It's not going to be there forever." Tulua, which is 150 miles southwest of Bogata, has one of the country's highest rates of HIV infection. Pena's proposal will be debated by the town leaders and could become law by March. Meanwhile, the Roman Catholic priests in the Tulua are livid, especially since even they would be forced to carry a condom. They object to the law because they believe it will encourage sexual relations. "Nobody can force someone to carry a condom in their pocket," the Rev. Roberto Sarmiento told AP. "They should instead carry the responsibility of what sexual relations mean."
eV comments: Are priests having sex now? When did that happen? Will they need a special pocket sewn into those robes?

Oprah takes one for the team/the pocket book-well, Prada bag...
The October 26, 2005 Oprah show was titled, The Man who Kept Oprah Awake at Night (we knew Stedman wasn't all that exciting), that man was recovered addict, James Frey. By now most of you outside the substance abuse field have read this book/memoir/rag that sold over 3.5millionn copies, second only to Harry Potter Inc. last year. Well, The Smoking Gun outted him for all the "embellishments" and other distorted facts that were "blurred" due to his substance use. So there he sat on Larry King with his mama-who looked lik she has a few under her belt for a number of years and Oprah rings in. She wants us to know that despite all the uproar and the fact that she helped ya'll fall for another addict scam, the fact that some people were helped by this book should be the important thing to keep in mind. So don't sweat the truth people; just keep buying Jame's and Oprah's books. But I tell you this-no one is going to buy the next book Frey has just written. Not even Oprah.

"Perhaps, our mothers never explained to us that it was not a good idea to play with handguns whilst using the restroom. But then again, maybe that was supposed to be a given," the Mounties said in a press release.

Woman Who Died in '03 Left in Front of TV
By TERRY KINNEY, Associated Press Writer, Jan 10, 5:14 AM ET
The mummified body of a woman who didn't want to be buried was found in a chair in front of her television set 2 1/2 years after her death, authorities said. Johannas Pope had told her live-in caregiver that she didn't want to be buried and planned on returning after she died, Hamilton County Coroner O'Dell Owens said Monday. Pope died in August 2003 at age 61. Her body was found last week in the upstairs of her home on a quiet street. Some family members continued to live downstairs, authorities said. No one answered the doorbell at Pope's home Monday afternoon. It could take weeks to determine Pope's cause of death because little organ tissue was available for testing, Owens said. An air conditioner had been left running upstairs, and that allowed the body to slowly mummify, he said. The machine apparently stopped working about a month ago, and the body began to smell. "Standing outside, one could smell death," Owens said. Police went to the house last Wednesday after receiving a call from a relative who hadn't seen Pope in years. They found a staircase behind a door blocked by a basket and climbed to the second floor, where they found the body. It was not clear if any crimes were committed, Owens said. Authorities did not identify the caregiver, a woman in her 40s who apparently lived in the home with Pope, Pope's daughter and her 3-year-old granddaughter. "The caregiver is not someone you'd think was from another planet or really seems off the wall — (she's) a pretty normal kind of person," he said. "But I think out of loyalty, friendship and love of her friend, (she) decided to keep the body at home."

Suspected Counterfeiters Clog Toilet
Fri Jan 6, 10:34 PM ET (AP)
Two people suspected of counterfeiting money spent at least a week relieving themselves in plastic shopping bags, because the plumbing stopped working in their apartment when they flushed wads of suspected fake cash down the toilet, authorities said. Selina Jean Valdez, 28, was arrested Thursday on a warrant for forgery, possession of forgery instruments and criminal mischief. Her suspected partner Daniel Marquez, 41, is wanted on the same charges. The two are suspected of running a low-tech counterfeiting operation, using a combination printer-scanner-copier and a personal computer to make fake $50 and $100 bills, detectives said. Investigators said they think Marquez and Valdez flushed wads of the counterfeit money down the toilet on Dec. 26 when detectives tried to question the two suspects. The rental duplex where Valdez and Marquez were staying was discovered flooded with sewage
eV comments: Here's a hint Selina: Next time take one of the fake bills and buy a shredder and a thinking partner. Charge her with being stupid and very nasty.

(01-05) 09:08 PST JONAS, Pa. (AP) --
A 12-year-old boy was charged as an adult with homicide and arson for allegedly setting a house fire that killed his 11-year-old cousin, state police said. Police said Djinn Buckingham told them he spilled tiki torch fuel in a hallway outside the girl's room and lit the fire with matches, according to a police affidavit. He said he thought he put the fire out, then went downstairs before hearing screams, the affidavit said. Sierra Carranza died in the Dec. 9 fire in Polk Township, in east-central Pennsylvania. Her mother, her siblings and Buckingham escaped. Michael Mancuso, a Monroe County assistant district attorney, said it wasn't clear why the boy allegedly started the fire, although he added that Buckingham and the girl apparently had argued earlier.

Artist Binds Feet in Desert, Loses Key
By Associated Press
January 4, 2006, 3:09 PM EST
BAKER, Calif. -- An artist who chained his legs together to draw a picture of the image hopped 12 hours through the desert after realizing he lost the key and couldn't unlock the restraints, authorities said Wednesday.Trevor Corneliusien, 26, tightly wrapped and locked a long, thick chain around his bare ankles Tuesday while camping in an abandoned mine shaft about five miles north of Baker, San Bernardino County sheriff's Deputy Ryan Ford said."It took him over 12 hours because he had to hop through boulders and sand," Ford said. "He did put on his shoes before hopping."The artist, who is from the area, often sketched images inside mines in the Southwest. He had finished his drawing Tuesday when he realized he didn't have the key.Corneliusien finally made it to a gas station and called the sheriff's department, which sent paramedics and deputies with bolt cutters. His legs were bruised but he was otherwise in good health, Ford said.The artist did not have a listed phone number and could not be reached for comment.And the drawing?"He brought it down with him," Ford said. "It was a pretty good depiction of how a chain would look wrapped around your legs."

Also, they have interesting resource titles such as, Meet your Meat, (No, I will not make another Tommy reference!),

Along with the usual blah,blah,blah on cruelty to chickens and other animals, PETA tells us that, "KFC has a responsibility to ensure that the chickens raised for its buckets are protected from the worst cruelities." Don't believe the hype. The only responsibility that KFC has is to stop reheating the honey barbeque wings as they become horribly crunchy and burnt tasting. That's cruelty!

Jennifer Aniston: Get over him already! Brad is never coming back. He now resides on Planet Jolie where unmarried people adopt each other's kids and pretend to be truly concerned about third world refugees. (Its a very small world, after all.) Your bible verse/new age mantra: No Pitt in 2006.

Sociopath Watch: Scott Peterson

2006-01-02T03:24:00.000-08:00

Law and Disorder
The parents of condemned murderer Scott Peterson have hired two big time lawyers to begin his appeals. Scott's father stated that since his son was innocent, they don't want him sitting there any longer than he has to! O.k., this is a familiar tune from his family. My question is, why would you hire the attorneys that represented the Menendez brothers? Not like the Menedez bros are walking among us. But then I guess that beats a Dead Man Walking...

Young MC: Bustin a big move at 278lbs.
Countess Vaughn: After having plastic surgery on her booty, (o.k.), and hoping to drop it like it's hot, weighing 130lbs at 4' 11''.
Chastity Bono: Cher's not so little girl-boi pushing up on the scales at 215lbs.
Tempestt Bledsoe: Cobsy's kid did well-NYU Finance degree and all. Proud she never did had a drug or alcohol addiction, she failed to realize she had a food issue. Put down the samm-itch honey, you weigh 181lbs!
All are admitted to the eating disorder unit. Note to self: If Oprah is still on the unit she will NOT be allowed to discuss any weight issues with these clients. Medicate Stedman. Buy extra wide, strongly supported beds. Encourage Slim-fast.

What the Heck is a Blog?

2006-01-01T20:30:00.000-08:00

For all my friends, family and others...
So that we may all be on the same page this year here is the official description of da blog: Blog is short for weblog. A weblog is a journal (or newsletter) that is frequently updated and intended for general public consumption. Blogs generally represent the personality of the author or the Web site.
Aight? So now that we have an understanding lets get this party started!

An Interesting View on Resolutions
"I do think New Year's resolutions can't technically be expected to begin on New Year's Day, don't you? Since, because it's an extension of New Year's Eve, smokers are already on a smoking roll and cannot be expected to stop abruptly on the stroke of midnight with so much nicotine in the system. Also dieting on New Year's Day isn't a good idea as you can't eat rationally but really need to be free to consume whatever is necessary, moment by moment, in order to ease your hangover. I think it would be much more sensible if resolutions began generally on January the second."

They Shoot Presidents, Don't They?

John Hinkley Jr. Gets to Spend the Night with Mummy and Daddy
So how does someone that tries to assassinate a president get an overnight home pass? Maybe when your family has close ties to, and makes large campaign donations to the Bush family. Could also be why he's in a hospital instead of prison. Hinkley previously had overnight passes within fifty miles of the hospital. He will now be more than 150 miles away. The purpose of the visits will be to 'acclimate' John to his parents' community and relearn skills, including gardening, cooking and taking out the garbage. Hmm, I learned all that working in institutions, so what's up with that? Maybe its a Martha Stewart thing...But good news: His depression and psychosis are in full remission. Right. Just a daily dose of Risperdal keeps him on track. So let's see, maybe "Squeaky" Fromme can can get that weekend hook-up with Manson? Nope. Never happen-they don't have the right connections. Wonder if the old neighborhood will throw John Jr. a block party?

'My Lobotomy': Howard Dully's Journey'
If you thought you'd seen a really insane psychiatrist or two in your medical career or personal experience, (for some of you who stayed too long, it may be both!), check out this story of mad science gone very bad.
This one also involves a wicked stepmother that just wanted to move little Howie on down the road and out of her hair. I once saw an actual film of this procedure and it was very scary. Maybe this is what happened to George W.?

Mr Spears Gets a Web Site
Kevin Federline wants us to, "...really get to know him." Aight! So, he's now on myspace.com where you can find out about his new album, join his e-mail list and view his photo gallery. He also has 2555 'friends' (Dang!One more and he could've had a crew, like all the real rappers). Oh well, he has money to burn. One of his 'friends' Zack, wrote: "Kevin, you are the coolest guy ever. When I graduate from college I hope my career can be as successful as yours." Zacko! Dude, drop out, find an empty-head blonde rotund wanna be singer and PIMP her! Then you WILL be like Kev. So, if you wanna be like Kevin, check out his 'official' web site. You must be at least 13 years old. That alone should let you know how impressive his work is. But hey, in order to view Britney's web site it'll cost you $24.98 for twelve months. Since I'm over 13 and never illegally dowloaded anything by Britney, keep it moving...

Sylvia Brown: Substanced-Induced Psychotic Disorder...secondary disorder: Openly lusts for Montel Williams in a scary Mae West manner. The real truth is that she's had just one too many highballs and chain smoked hundreds of unfiltered Camel cigarettes. Every back alley bar and Moose lodge has a Sylvia Brown. They're usually sitting on that stool at the end of the bar trying to pick up the next WWII vet down on his luck by reading his tarot cards and level of desperation. Little does he know he's about to really hit rock bottom.
Ariel Sharon:: Antisocial Personality Disorder...secondary disorder: Male Erectile Disorder which is only relieved by blowing up people, their homes and continuous table top pounding. Awaiting heart repair surgery. Will schedule appointment with the Wizard of Oz so that he may get a heart prior to treatment. Keeps cutting in line. Not easily redirected.

Be very afraid!
Just when I thought they were going to stick it to all of you on New Years Eve (I will not be watching), by forcing you to endure Regis after hours they're bringing Dick Clark back. Well, maybe not. ABC released a promo pic complete with a cardboard looking Dick added to the real photo of Ryan Seacrest and Hilary Duff; but no live Dick sightings yet. I'd expect a better cut/paste job than this from a major network. Although Dick does look rather tan...We also don't know where and how long Dick will appear on the show. My guess is that Ryan will be the talking head, Hilary will be on the stroll in Hollywood, and Dick will be doing his best Ronnie Reagan vacant wave from the twilight zone. Beam me up Scottie. Oops! Scottie has already left the planet. (click post title to see picture).

OK, I love pets but...
A California retiree spent over $10,000 of his savings in order to treat his 13 year-old poodle for cancer. Yep, chemotherapy treatments for the dog at UC Davis. Apparently this is not unusual. The dogs, (there are others), receive smaller doses of what the humans get. I can see that Roy/Trigger thing coming...Little poodle freeze-dried, stuffed and sitting on the television for the next fifteen years! He'll even keep dressing it up in all those seasonal outfits he thought were so cute. This man should have gotten treatment earlier. Will reserve a bed for this guy. When pookie kicks it, his world is over. Note to self: If Oprah is still on the unit have these two in the same group sessions for people overly enmeshed with their pets. Medicate Stedman.

TV Shows I Don't Want My Really Smart Friends to Know I Watch

Maury: Love that 15th appearance for the baby's daddy, uncle-baby daddy, grandpa-could-even-the-baby daddy, and mamma's-special-friend-can't-even-be-the-daddy-but want-to-YOU ARE NOT-the-father-baby daddy. This is the stuff that populates trailer parks ya'll.
Cheaters: A wonderfully seedy way of 'encouraging temperance and virtue'. These are the Maury kids that grew up watching mama and something like a daddy chase their nookie in the trailer next door.
Dog the Bounty Hunter: Dog's hair, leathered skin, and missing teeth along with Beth's double Z chest in Hawaiian Dolly wear-well hey now! And they run down common rascals too! Doesn't get much sweeter than this. These are the Maury kids turned middle age losers, that bought a ticket to Hawaii after getting an insurance settlement and went broke. What a slice of pure big island trailer park heaven. Pass the macadamia nuts.
America's Most Wanted: John Walsh aside, I am a true fan. Hey, if I see the 'wanted' in my world I'm turning ya in. Not only that, the next day I'll be on all the morning news shows, looking very good and talking very bad about you. Like how you probably grew up in a trailer park. Yeah, that'll work.
