Recent research shows that there are 7 kinds of sex:
The 1st kind of sex is called: Smurf Sex
This kind of sex happens when you first meet someone and you both have sex until you are blue in the face.
The 2nd kind of sex is called: Kitchen Sex
This is when you have been with your partner for a short time and you are so horny you will
have sex anywhere, even in the kitchen.
The 3rd kind of sex is called: Bedroom Sex
This is when you have been with your partner for a long time. Your sex has gotten routine
and you usually have sex only in your bedroom.
The 4th kind of sex is called: Hallway Sex
This is when you have been with your partner for too long. When you pass each other in
the hallway you both say “screw you.”
The 5th kind of sex is called: Religious Sex
Which means you get Nun in the morning, Nun in the afternoon and Nun at night.
The 6th kind is called: Courtroom Sex
This is when you cannot stand your wife any more.
She takes you to court and screws you in front of everyone.
And last, but not least, the 7th
kind of sex is called: Social Security Sex
You get a little each month. But not enough to live on.
I just learned that the album will be available free for the first week, starting this Friday, through neilyoung.com. Check out this first hand account of a reporter who was allowed to listen to the new album in Neil Young’s Brother’s car.
The judge that presided over the plagiarism against Dan Brown’s Divinci Code added a very interesting twist to his judgement in the form of a secret message. I don’t know if the judge was somehow coerced into a viral marketing campaign or whether this judge just happens to be a fan. Check out this article about it from the BBC.
The lyrics to Neil Young’s new title track, Let’s Impeach The President, from his new album, Living With War, have just been released:
Let’s impeach the president for lying
And leading our country into war
Abusing all the power that we gave him
And shipping all our money out the door
He’Â’s the man who hired all the criminals
The White House shadows who hide behind closed doors
And bend the facts to fit with their new stories
Of why we have to send our men to war
Let’Â’s impeach the president for spying
On citizens inside their own homes
Breaking every law in the country
By tapping our computers and telephones
What if Al Qaeda blew up the levees
Would New Orleans have been safer that way
Sheltered by our government’Â’s protection
Or was someone just not home that day?
Let’s impeach the president
For hijacking our religion and using it to get elected
Dividing our country into colors
And still leaving black people neglected
Thank god he’s racking down on steroids
Since he sold his old baseball team
There’s lot of people looking at big trouble
But of course the president is clean
Thank God
Powerful stuff, I can’t wait to hear it!
This public health commercial is so well done and hilarious, brilliant!
I remember back in all of Bush’s stump speeches when he was seeking reelection he used to say, “we have to repeal the ‘death tax’, the grave is one place Uncle Sam shouldn’t follow you” which always received a huge applause for him. Well in a bombshell development, it turns out that over the last ten years the driving force behind the efforts to have the estate tax repealed has been 18 of the richest families in the country, and they have used all of the dirtiest tactics in the book. They branded it the death tax, and frightened ordinary Americans with it, but in reality less than 1/4 of 1% will ever pay an estate tax after death, and those that do can afford it. The amount of money at stake is approximately $100 billion/year, considering we’re in a perilous budget shortfall at the moment, I’m certainly not keen on losing that money which comes from the richest of the rich. The coalition of those against the estate tax’s repeal is growing. Find out how the estate tax con has been perpetrated check it out.
Douglas Adams, author of The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy is a true genious. He gave this off the cuff speech about the way we, humans, perceive the world in which we live. His idea is that we don’t usually understand how we do something - we just do it. Like if you’re going to catch a ball thrown at you, you don’t pull out your graphing calculator and solve the calculus equation necessary to figure out where the ball is going to be at the precise moment it passes your hand, all of that mathematical ability is built into our brains so we don’t have to think about it. He explains in a manner that can only be described as pure genious, how he believes God is a creation of man, but one that should be respected regardless of it being an artificial creation, because many of the laws we call ‘Holy’ are brilliant for society, but he makes a mockery of the true belief in a higher power or creator. Douglas Adams was one of the most brilliant men of the 20th century and this speech is the ultimate evidence of how he was capable of writing such amazing books. If you have about 30 minutes and an interest in the nature of the universe, this is one of the most interesting reads out there.
