how swingers (& sluts) handle valentine’s day

believe it or not, swingers can be either really lonely on v-day or …very occupied. take it from one female swinger, who refers to swinging as “sport sex.”

“It can be lonely,” she told AOL News. “Take New Year’s Eve, for instance. I do a radio show in Florida called the FoXXXy Forum and we did a live remote at a swing club between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. After the show was over, my co-host ran with her husband and some friends and I was there by myself with nobody to kiss.”

she does have a male ‘swinging’ partner, but overall she’s single. so what’s there to do? luckily yahoo answers offers a few suggestions:

wannabe jedi jailed for 45 days after vicious light saber attacks

I absolutely love this story. david allen canterbury, let’s call him DAC – I feel like we’re on that level – started violently hitting people at a Toys R Us in Oregon with double-fisted light saber swords last Christmas. the police stepped in and he tried to fight them off with his light saber too. in fact, he actually blocked a taser wire with the lit up plastic sword. obviously he was detained and forced to have a mental health screening. I can’t imagine why.

however, as of yesterday, he will be in jail for 45 days. so if you’re in the area, go visit. ask him if the force is with him. otherwise, feel free to shop at that Toys R Us, DAC is banned anyway.

did your parents lie to you?

20120114-105345.jpg

as I scroll through my twitter feed this morning, huffington post caught my eye with an article about parents lying to their kids. too bad this article didn’t come out when I used to babysit!

lying to children is incredibly questionable. will you actually put your child in time out if all of that spinach isn’t gone? are you seriously going to remember to buy that hot wheels car set for Christmas? the moral of this article was more like, to shut kids up.

I’m not saying I have lied to children I’ve babysat for about how if they don’t brush their teeth now, the boogie monster will come out later. but I don’t think I’d feel right just constantly always having an answer. and I know when I was little, I never stopped asking my mom things and eventually, she’d tire out and just tell me she didn’t know.

do you think it’s okay to tell little white lies to children? or do you think it’s time to come clean about what actually happened to fido?

#RIP Hoboken St. Patty’s Day Parade

Now I’m not Irish in the least bit – I have *naturally* dark hair and eyes, tan skin, and zero freckles. But that doesn’t stop me from having a beer with the leprechauns every March 17th.

And I have to say, I do support holiday parades whether it’s in front of Macy*s or just a few kids in baseball uniforms on Memorial Day. Either way, my point is clear: there should be a St. Patty’s Day Parade. Don’t get me wrong, there is a parade every March where people dress up in green and paint their faces and get drunk, which, hey, that’s cool, it makes a TON of money for those local pubs. But to shut down the one parade in Hoboken, the kid sister to New York City, that’s just downright cruel.

consider this a vintage t-shirt

Hoboken is home to thousands of 20-somethings and drinking is their middle name. Whether its a glass of pinot with lunch or a one-way ticket to blackout city, Hoboken – no jokin’ – oozes with bars and pubs and all sorts of places to get your drink on. And now, come the first weekend in March, it’s just going to be another weekend. No green party beads or wannabe leprechauns duking it out on the street. Granted, these post-grads get way too drunk and things get out of control, but it’s their own faults and that’s what the police are for. However, Hoboken mayor, Dawn Zimmer, and the parade committee have said no more.

On the bright side, there will be an Irish Mass on February 25th. Woop-dee-friggin-do.
