Getting Soaked

 No,I'm not talking about getting rained on nor a soaker hose. As if the Mormon religion didn't have enough strangeness connected to it all I can say is,"but wait there's more!" Since Mormons believes there should be no sex before marriage,which oddly enough includes oral sex,masturbation,hand jobs and even passionate kissing,one would expect that meant no soaking,derfing,parking,surfing or other nicknames given to the Mormon youth practice of the male inserting his penis into the female's vagina then laying still,of course some of them embellish on soaking by inviting friend over to jump on the bed which is referred to as "jump humping". I can't help but wonder if they're using protection for this "non-sexual" act since I'm guessing it might be enough to make a young male climax and wouldn't that be odd for the Mormon virgins to turn up pregnant?  

Penis Power

 Don't ask how I ended up with today's topic because I haven't a clue,I was just poking (pardon the pun) around like I am known to do and the next thing I know I'm reading about a guy with a 13.5 inch penis,which if true is bigger than or equal to the late porn star John Holmes though his ex wives both claimed it was only 10 inches. That led to other penis related articles including what size was best according to women surveyed (8 inches) and a "Special Olympics" for the countries that produced the biggest dicks,or rather penises since dicks can mean other things. 

Rooftop Gardens

 Apparently the people of Bangkok,Thailand are taking restrictions from the pandemic more seriously than here in the states. The two main taxi companies are without customers since March of 2020 leaving the employees out of work and the cars sitting idle. After brainstorming on what could be done to help the employees and make use of the cars they came up with the idea of planting gardens on top of the cars with various veggies to help feed the drivers and their families. They placed black garbage bags on the roofs of the cars with soil on top of the plastic then planted seeds,the gardens have been surprisingly productive. Hopefully they will be on the way back to normal after seeming to hit the peak in August. Clever solution. 

Problem Solved?

A few months back I did a post on breastfeeding and the people who complain about it being done in public. Today's post is just adding information on the breastfeeding topic though this seems like it's kind of an over the top solution it still offers a more private way to either feed you child or pump your milk. It is called Mamava and they are stations for breastfeeding that are found in public places,like airports and malls,they have an app so the mothers needing privacy can find the nearest station. I'm not sure what that would be like though while waiting at a gate in the airport that had a station there was a mother feeding her baby with a blanket over herself instead of using the station,maybe she was unaware of the stations and didn't have the app,her choice either way. The stations have regular disinfecting on a schedule so I assume they are clean and they can be easily moved plus they cost less that constructing a custom station.   My PSA post for the week! maybe the month...

User Friendly?

 Maybe it's just me but when I travel I don't expect to find appliances that require a handbook to operate. For instance a remote control that is so complicated to use you might as well go back to the 60's when operations like turning the TV on/off or changing channels was done by hand because that would be far superior to having to use a three step process just to turn it on then still the channels won't change with the channel up or down button you have to first know the code for the channel you want then enter it before it times out and goes to the default setting which in this case happened to be a shopping channel that was permanently set on selling the same watch. Then to turn it off when you're half asleep go through the same three steps in reverse. Nope,not user friendly in the least. Oh did I mention that while you manipulate the buttons they all glow red reminding you that you may be dealing with an evil entity. 

A Toast

 I read an article about Carlsberg Beer coming up with an alternative to the six pack rings,a glue that was also recyclable,but I noticed the date was from 2018 so that left me wondering why the glue isn't in general use for  beverage packaging. I don't buy beer or soda but from what I've seen the six pack rings are still being used. This is an area where consumers need to let it be known that they want a change,not only are the rings deadly for many sea creatures they also release toxins that further poison our oceans. Even cutting them up doesn't solve the problem as they can be mistaken for food and cause death in that manner. Get busy and let the companies you buy from know how you feel. I will be taking around a week off starting tomorrow so no one needs to send for a wellness check! 

Hair of the Dog

 Over the years I've often wondered if dog hair could be made into yarn for making clothing but never thought to look it up since I never had a particularly hairy dog. However a 54 year old Leeds (UK) woman who has a Samoyed and a Keeshond had the same thought and began saving their shed hair after noticing a post on Facebook about a knitting expert who specializes in making keepsake pieces for pet owners from their pet's fur. The woman ended up with a five foot scarf and two keepsake dogs as remembrance pieces for the day her pets are no longer with her. The price seemed a little steep at $291 but I really don't know what hand knitted items sell for so it might be a bargain for all I know. 

Comedy Wildlife

 I didn't realize until earlier today that there were Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards. Photos of a smiling frog,a monkey riding a giraffe,a polar bear photobombing,and many more.

Each year the competition supports a charity that works with vulnerable species. The winner will be announced in October. 

Oh Man

 Found some worthy quotes on men and no,I don't hate them though they are fun to joke about. 

Men should be like Kleenex:soft,strong,and disposable. Cher 

I love men,even though they're lying,cheating scumbags. Gwyneth Paltrow 

If humor was the foundation of my life,men were definitely the first floor. Gilda Radner 

He was like the flesh and blood equivalent of a DKNY dress...you know it's not your style,but it's right there,so you try it on anyway. Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) 

Men are simple things. They can survive a whole weekend with only three things:beer,boxer shorts,and batteries for the remote control. Diana Jordan 

Moo Loo

 This research might seem silly at first but it's actually a huge step in curbing the ammonia caused by cow urine mixing with feces not to mention the other mixtures that result in various contaminants. It started out as a joke on a New Zealand radio station but scientists who heard it thought it was a valid idea so they set about training calves to use the toilet and it was as easy or easier than potty training toddlers. When the calves used the toilet they were rewarded with a molasses treat which cows love,when they didn't use the toilet they were sprayed with cold water. The only surprise over the experiment was that no one had thought of it before. If you're wondering about the solid waste it doesn't pose near the problem the urine does,so not to worry. 

World Class

 I used to know a couple of world class car trashers but they didn't come close to this bad. This vehicle was brought in for its yearly Ministry of Transport inspection which was started in the UK in 1960. The idea behind the inspections is to make sure the vehicles are safe to drive and by looking at this rig I would be hard pressed to pass it because of all the debris which in this case could be a definite distraction. The garage worker refused to inspect it on the grounds that he didn't want to catch anything,and who could blame him? The customer laughed like it was a joke and walked off...I would hate to see their home. 

When Rhinos Fly

 It's time for the 31st annual Ig Nobels,you know those awards that make you laugh first then think about it. This year's winners include a study for flying rhinos upside down from a helicopter to determine if it was less stressful on the animals...it was. Believe it or not this was actually a useful study as more and more animals lose their habitat they need to be trans-located and it applies to other animals as well as the rhinos. Other studies in line for awards include whether beards prevent facial injuries more than a clean shaven face...they do,though no faces were harmed in the study as they were done with sheep skin both with and without fleece,or course the sheep were obviously harmed.
