Visions of vienna sausages and baby mice fill my mind
As we learned from the podcast I did for the Large Penis Support Group I am well endowed. I have always heard of there being a race of men who have extremely tiny penii but never really took those stories at face value. Let me tell you something. This may scare you…. It is absolutely true. Horrible and awful and true. Oh, my damned eyes! Why have I clicked the links? Was it curiosity or do I just hate myself that much. Visions of vienna sausages and baby mice fill my mind. Luckily for you I went there so you don’t have to. All you have to do is listen to the nonsense that people at MyTinyDick.Net talk about. I warn you, there will be acronyms you’ve never heard of. Like SPH and SPG. These stand for Small Penis Humiliation & Small Penis Glorification. I think if you went to this site your natural inclination would be towards SPE (Small Penis Eradication.) That may sound harsh but I think we’d all be better off….
Plus podcast.
(thanks, Aaron)

She’s crazy. She’s a bitch. In fact she’s a crazy bitch, but her bitch craziness is for whatever reason right for me in a lot of ways. And honestly, I think Ben Franklin must have been a very smart fellow. He always recommended older women as lovers and until now I never EVER agreed.

the secret to longevity
“Humans of exceptional longevity are better able to maintain the length of their telomeres,” said Yousin Suh, associate professor of medicine and of genetics at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine at Yeshiva University. “And we found that they owe their longevity, at least in part, to advantageous variants of genes involved in telomere maintenance.”
Warhol sells for $43 million at auction
When a seminal Warhol — one of the artist’s first silk-screen paintings — came on the block at Sotheby’s auction of contemporary art on Wednesday night, the auctioneer, Tobias Meyer, opened bidding at $6 million and was stunned when a bidder instantly doubled it.
An update
I took Greta to the vet on October 28th after posting my question of “When do you know it’s time to put your pet to sleep?” to this site. The vet found a cyst on her foot and believed that was the cause of her limping and general malaise. I disagreed but went along with it because I was too exhausted to demand a full x-ray like I wanted and too scared to admit my own fears. The cyst was removed and Greta was giving two week’s worth of anti-inflammatory medication.
She continued to limp around but ate on a semi-regular basis and wagged her tail when the family loved on her. But she wasn’t herself.
Yesterday, I took her back to the vet and demanded the x-ray that I knew she needed all along. I was convinced she had arthritis.
It was bone cancer.
It was present in her shoulder and her jaw and who knows where else. Prednisone was offered as a short term pain solution but they gave her about one to two months of survival at the most.
After much internal debating, I decided to put her to sleep.
After I got home and collected myself, I got online and re-read all the comments to my earlier post. You have no idea how much your kind (and rational) words helped me.
Greta was a fantastic black lab. We were together for over 11 years. She traveled across the country with me twice, helped me through a divorce and was sitting by my feet when my husband and step-son asked me to marry them last year. I miss her.
Thank you again for your kind words and insight.
For Deron

Barely Games
Russell Davies discusses the importance of playfulness in today’s culture. It’s difficult to find a quotable, summarizable section since much of it is pictures and video interspersed with text, but I think this sums up the tone quite well:
A watch is an object built on pretending. The value watch-makers add is all about pretending.

Sendak Documentary on HBO
Lance Bangs and Spike Jonze have created a remarkable short documentary, Tell Them Anything You Want: a Portrait of Maurice Sendak. In a mere 41 minutes, Sendak–presented through the sublime filmmaking abilities of Jonze and Bangs–captures what it means to be an individual, what it means to be human, and what it means to be a child. The film is so short and so casually presented that its hugeness sneaks up on the viewer. I’ve watched it twice and am ready to see it again.
I’m inarticulate this morning and can’t find my words. The film speaks beautifully for itself. Please watch it.

Mr. Memory Man
A Euless man will travel to London for the world memory championships.
There will be plenty of studying – but no sightseeing – for the American champ this week. White can recall the order of a deck of playing cards in less than 90 seconds, but he says the current world champion can do it in 24 seconds.
