“I’d say that maybe 3 out of 10 nights of numbering,we have some success,” Fahad explained.
“You mean that 3 out of 10 nights you get a girl to talk to you?” I asked.
“No, no,” Fahad laughed. “Maybe 3 out of 10 nights we get one phone number. Getting a girl to actually talk to you on the phone is much rarer. But it happens, so we’re always hoping.”
The kids are very talented, and are being molded into bonafied rock stars under the guidance of Ethan and staff. Here's bit of "Comfortably Numb" from yesterday.
Levy County in Florida recently required library volunteerssubmit to a drug test as a condition of...er...volunteering.
You know, cuz we can't have Grandma gopped up on the goop while she attempts to do something with all that free time. Sounds like it'd be less hassle to start on that nasty crack habit.
Former handyman Charles Lennon may not receive his settlement from the company that manufactured his malfunctioning penile device. The implant has caused Lennon to have an erection for 10 years!!!
Lennon received the steel and plastic implant in 1996, about two years before the impotence drug Viagra went on the market. (Using a complicated system of pulleys, cables and a cast iron inner structure) the Dura-II is designed to allow impotent men to position the penis upward for sex, then lower it.
When I first read the article in this month's Wired about aSmallWorld, I thought it was either a joke or just an essay, not a piece of journalism. That's not meant to be a slam on Ms. Jardin's writing skills; I just didn't think it was real.
As much as they probably want you to think, Damn! How do I get access to this biyatch? the first thing that crossed my mind when I hit the home page was, This is supposed to be the portal to every single hip, rich person of influence in the world, and their web site sucks. What's up with the blurry graphics?
Check out this 1984 video where Mr. T does a shout out for mother's everywhere. I pity the fool that doesn't like a man w/ a hundred pounds of bling in coochie-cutters singing about his mother.
It's Karen Keenan's dream eavesdrop...a coked up n' horny Pat O'Brien calls Riding The Bus With My Sister's hot, mentally-challenged mama, Rosie O'Donnell. Totally NSFW, totally hysterical.
I don't know what it is with mustachioed "news" types. There's this hairy-lipped movie reviewer for a local news station who has repeatedly come up to me at parties - and I'm *totally* not special, he does it to every girl with opposable thumbs - and, wedding ring fully visible, tries to mack by introducing himself as the guy who gives bad movies a rating of "half a wormy apple." So sexy.
"I was doing what I felt that she had telepathically told me to do," retired Navy Petty Officer Ambrose Kappos, 38, insisted yesterday, as testimony wound down in the weeklong Manhattan Supreme Court trial.
Kappos admitted he would try to "talk" to Crow by smoking pot and drinking two or more gallons of water, so as to super-hydrate himself into an "ecstatic state."
Ol' Dirty Bastard is dead! He died today while recording in the studio. He would have been 36 Monday!
It seems like only yesterday he was interrupting the Grammys.
Diana Ross is being sent up the river to jail (for 2 days) for drunk driving. She should have told the cops it was just a love hangover.""
Give that woman a three million dollar advance. I want to read that tell-all. "Day two: My fur was confiscated and I broke a nail... I don't think I can make it."
Nuevo Laredo... Heavily armed Mexican army troops and federal police guard the principal street intersections of this popular border town, as the government tries to quell a brutal, bloody battle between warring drug cartels. 75 people were murdered during 2003 in Nuevo Laredo, and the majority of the killings appear to be drug-related. In recent months, the violence has spilled across the Rio Grande to Laredo. Three men were gunned down in Laredo last November in contract killings now linked to the cartel struggle across the river. The battle raging in Nuevo Laredo is for control of one of the Southwest border's most lucrative drug trafficking corridors
We heard about this the instant we talked to the locals in Laredo. We still went across into Nuevo Laredo where we saw the military presence (along with incredible poverty) in the article. Two short trips for dinner and drinks which were very cheap.
Laredo is a town that will never rise above it's alternate economy and/or poverty for geographic reasons alone. Mexican Americans were routinely kind and soft-spoken. Had a nice time, and now a non-stop week of deadlines awaits.
Aaaahh... Will I ever tire of posting stories about hypocritical conservatives exposed as pervs? Well no, probably not... A "reverend" infamous for preaching against homosexuality at Yale, now faces charges that he solicited sex from a teenage boy. He was arrested after he offered $20 to a 14-year-old boy to perform oral sex on him.
"There's a sick satisfaction that someone so preachy is so flawed," a student said. "I'm trying not to be thrilled about it."
About 750 people traveled to Las Vegas to attend the seventh annual National Abstinence Clearinghouse Conference, which runs through Sunday. Convention exhibitors displayed various abstinence items, including "Keep It" underwear depicting a large red stop sign with the message "No Trespassing."
POP history repeated itself as farce yesterday when Eminem, the enfant terrible of rap, dangled a plastic baby over the edge of his hotel balcony in Glasgow, to the delight of the small crowd of fans who had waited all day to see him.
His gesture parodied the actions of Michael Jackson, who last year provoked international outrage by holding a real baby - purportedly his own - over a hotel balcony in Germany in front of horrified crowds below.
The rapper's latest stunt adds to a catalogue of incidents that have secured his status as one of the most controversial figures in pop music today, leading George W Bush to label him "the most dangerous threat to American children since polio".
Fired workers from a local Volvo dealership in Indonesia attacked their Swedish boss with spears after negotiations over severance pay went awry, police said Friday.
The US Supreme Court has rejected the appeal by Stephen Michael Cohen in the sex.com case.
The decision brings to a close two years of pointless legal argument and leaves the way clear for sex.com owner Gary Kremen to concentrate on forcing .com registry VeriSign to admit its guilt in transferring the valuable domain to Mr Cohen in 1995.
-- snip --
With the case finally put to rest however, Mr Kremen faces his toughest battle - forcing VeriSign to accept blame for transferring the domain without checking in the first place. He is expected to win although VeriSign is sticking to its defence that a domain name cannot legally be held to be property and as such it cannot be held to account for giving the sex.com away to someone else.
If VeriSign eventually loses, it will face a $100m fine and legal fee bill. It would also set a legal precedent that will encourage thousands of other domain owners to seek recompense for wrongly handing over domains (something VeriSign has become particularly famous for).
Ms. Winnie Dunbar has schmoozed her way into the hippest club on the Web. Winnie is our insider at the behemoth that is AOL Time Warner. She's also good for the random inappropriate sexual factoid from time to time. Perfect for those uncomfortable silences at family get-togethers!
Fake "Pop Idol-esque" recruitment fliers have been seen around LA reading:
Hungry? Sick? Begging for a break? Sweet? Fresh? Would you do anything? We suck young blood? We want sweet meats. 1-866-868-4433
These are actually the lyrics for the song We Suck Young Blood off of Radiohead's upcoming album. The phone number posted (translated to 1-866-tot-hief) will play all the songs off of the album (toll free!).
THE Chernobyl nuclear disaster has radically changed the lives of worms in the region, which now enjoy more sex, Ukrainian scientists have said.
Scientists in Sebastopol have compared the way worms reproduce around Chernobyl, where radioactivity levels in the soil are 100 times higher than normal, with their cousins elsewhere.

Q sez these scientists never lived in Wrigleyville, where the worms don't even wait til they get home...
"Saddam's acting in the picture is actually quite good," al-Sabah notes. "One scene, in which he buries his face in a pillow and cries, is so touching you almost can forget you're watching a low-budget sexploitation film."
Andrew's commentary: I think we can all sympathize with the struggling law student who turns to a life of porn to make ends meet...
In the years since it disappeared, the sponge achieved a kind of cult status, helped by a 1995 "Seinfeld" episode in which Elaine, discovering it would be discontinued, goes from pharmacy to pharmacy to stock up, then forces boyfriends to prove themselves "spongeworthy."

Rooms are fantastically lush and spacious at about
550 s.f., and the suites are even bigger and nicer. Of
course, you've got to be a freakin' Rockefeller to get
a suite. Tasteful furnishings, marble floors in the
john, and all kinds of stuff the rich are used to but
we still gawk at. The bathrooms have showers separate
from the tubs, so you can sit in the tub and watch
someone shower like rich people always do.
