Crass at the Movies: Love Affair

Don’t call it a chick flick. This classic film has stood the test of time crossing ages and cultures to be remade not once… not twice… but three times most famously as An Affair to Remember starring Deborah Kerr and Cary Grant. Let’s hope it bypasses the current run of Hollywood remakes because if I have to even think about Kristen Stewart and Zac Efron as the leads I might have an embolism. Continue reading

PhotoPhriday: Show Us Your Euphemism

While I think it has taken time for many of us to swallow all the information offered in yesterday’s OT re: deep exploration of certain activities “down there,” tonight seems like the perfect time to push harder and thrust ourselves into a pictorial climax of sexual innuendo.

Your assignment is simple: go get Freudian and find the phallic and the yonic (yes, yonic, thank god for Google) in your home, office, yard or town and post the pictures here. If you’re too inhibited to expose your own personal euphemisms, feel free to scour the internets: there’s a world of wood and fur and pointy things out there just waiting for you to dive into (or onto, depending on your persuasion).

And when you’re done, don’t forget to wash your dirty little hands. Continue reading

Web Diving: Steel Stomachs are Required for What Lurks on HorriblePinterestRecipes’ Tumblr

Berf. Like seriously, what are people thinking? Yes, we know Pinterest is the bestest most spectacular website for finding anything from teeny, tiny bedazzled baby shoes, mason jar centerpieces, to, I dunno! Button bracelets or two Chihuahuas sitting in a small pink roadster! Don’t ask. But did you know some of the most disgusto recipes we’ve come across in a long time happen to live there? And by live there, we mean slowly mutating, replicating and plotting to destroy the world with its noxious ingredients and frankly, mockery of all things edible? Like the Crescent Taco Bake shown above. No, we’re not kidding. Follow after the jump if you dare. Continue reading

Goofy Tech CEO Josh James Stupidly Thinks All CEOs Need Twitter Accounts

Considering that more than half of all Americans are using social media in some form, though many of them badly (I’m looking at you, Rep. Dan Gordon) there’s clearly a temptation to say that companies should be doing all they can to reach out to customers using the various channels. At least, that’s the position of tech wonder-boy Josh James in his guest post on Forbes.com this week. Continue reading

A Real Life Fifty Shades of Grey

Warning: This post contains adult themes that might not be safe for your work environment.

There were definite limits to our relationship. She never wanted me to ask detailed questions about her family. She hated ordering food over the phone and taking her car in for maintenance — so if those things needed to be done, I had to do them. And she didn’t mind if I found other women attractive, but she always wanted to be the one to raise the topic first. Continue reading
