Today's roundup of those I've been able to access:
1. Sally brings us the search for a generic name:
The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After careful consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced that it has settled on the generic name of Mycoxafloppin. Also considered were Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and of course, Ibepokin.
Now this worries me. Maybe it's the women I chase but in my case, it's either smallish or Voom! - there's no "drupin" involved. Maybe I'm from another planet.
2. Speaking of another planet, this one's set in Edinburgh - how to convince a cabby to do what you see in the pic above. 1st Lady explains:
Now, for those of you interested in furniture shopping this way please note that L.Muck and I have become experts and we do not recommend you starting with such large pieces. A few days earlier we had a successful trial run which involved moving a large chair from shop to home (dont ask the taxi driver for seating credit unless he seems in a good mood). Learn the doorway dimensions, learn where the drivers blind spot is, investigate how much oxygen you require in the cab to safely make it home (we dont recommend mattress moving).
3. Ellee brings us why men rape:
Men rape for many reasons, including a desire to exert power in response to a feeling of entitlement, or perhaps to fulfil a need to humiliate and oppress their victims to compensate for their own perceived inadequacy.
Perhaps another reason is they're not getting enough which raises the interesting question of whether men can be raped by women. We once experimented with this and came to the conclusion - no, it's not possible. I'd like to meet a female rapist. Men call them nymphos, I think.
4. Speaking of another type of pestilential female, Jams brings us the Harlequin Ladybird:
Because it eats so many aphids, its staple diet, as well as other ladybirds, it has threatened the number of native ladybirds and species, such as lacewings, which also eat aphids. It also threatens aphid numbers. The two-spot and seven-spot ladybirds are particularly threatened.
5. An oldie but a goodie [the post, not the luscious Swearing Brummie Mummy herself, who's merely delectable] on the delight of pungent food. A Frenchified lady brought me a Camembert form Normandy the other day and the apartment stank, so I understand this:
We've still got half a baby Stilton, an appallingly odoriferous Brie, two tons of chocolate and a tree with no needles left on it. Oh, and half a sherry log. And a ham. With Nigella Bloody Lawson's spiced peaches, which were very nice actually once I'd got some jars, but right now even the smell of cinnamon is enough to make me gag.
6. With this appalling Blogrollingdotcom situation, we need to start manually blogrolling, which I'm about to do, from my MyBlogLog and Referrals. Now, I was thinking that if we each blogrolled each other, imagine how we'd zoom in Technorati - so the BRDC disaster was not a disaster after all but a Resounding Success!
Only one thing left to say:
"Blogroll me! Blogroll me!" he pathetically grovels and whimpers at your ankles, clutching at your thighs in his fawning grip. What a Man!

Nice to see the blogfocus back.
ReplyDeleteAs for men raping "because they are not getting enough", that is outrageous and you know it.
I know it. :)
ReplyDeleteRape is a crime of violence and control, in case you did not get the memo.
ReplyDeleteAs to men being raped, I guess their head could be in disagreement with another part of their body which acts more automatically in the situation, so I suppose it is possible. I think the control part of the equation could apply here too.
Are your stats down with this blogrolling thing? That's maybe because you have real people visit you instead of the google searches that most of us get.
True, JMB - now I'm off to discover this enigmatic anniversary thing [check aquarian male in post above].
ReplyDeleteExcellent blogsleuthing James.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the focus James, so happy to be described as delectable by you. Mwah!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, have learned how to link at long last, so have finally got you on my blogroll. Hope that's OK with you.
