A Big FAIL in Foreskin Rights

Jul 29, 2011 | Filed in Foreskin | 9 Comments

I am very disappointed to read that a San Francisco judge has shut down plans to ban underage circumcision of boys.

The proposed law, which would have been on the ballots this November, would make it illegal for parents to circumcise their son if he was under the age of 18.

Consider these facts:

I found it particularly infuriating that Judge Loretta Giorgi said, “The evidence presented is overwhelmingly persuasive that circumcision is a widely practiced medical procedure.”

Overwhelmingly persuasive? Really? I don’t suppose that has anything to do with the fact that many hospitals charge $500 to snip babies and some even sell the foreskins to cosmetic companies for use in products. Hmmm… I don’t suppose there would be any bias from the doctors who make quick, easy money on circumcision, would there?

Also, just because it’s “widely practiced” doesn’t mean it’s right. I wonder if she’d feel the same if the topic was female circumcision, which again, is illegal in the U.S.

Spending the Day with Me

Jul 28, 2011 | Filed in Family | 1 Comment

Working from home requires plenty of concentration and quiet time. I try to operate the same way I would if I were leaving the house each day to go into an office. So I keep Anna upstairs in her crate, just as many dog owners do when they go to work.

Most of the time, this arrangement works pretty well. But somedays, Anna won’t stop crying, which means Daddy Nathan can’t get any work done. So I have to bring her downstairs to my home office in order to get her to calm down.

Here’s Anna, looking very happy and satisfied that she gets to spend the day with me:

And here’s Purr Purr, less than thrilled that a doggie has interrupted our quiet time:

It’s Broccoli Botch!

The website Damn You Auto Correct has become my new obsession! It gets me laughing until I cry!

Here’s one of my favorites. I find myself wanting to walk into the room and announce, “It’s broccoli botch!” every where I go. Ha ha!

Its broccoli botch

And here’s another funny one, where a son says he’s come out of the closet, only to be met by his mother saying she always had a hunch. Turns out he meant to type that he was coming out of the clinic instead. Whoops.

I just came out of the closet

If you’ve never been to the site, you should go there now! Just make sure you have the rest of your afternoon free because I guarantee you’re going to be there awhile!

They’re Called Seasons, People!

Every summer, I listen to my friends bitch about how hot it is. Then every winter, I listen to them bitch about how cold it is. It’s almost as if people get amnesia and forget what seasons are.

I think everyone should move to San Francisco where the average temperature is 60 degrees every day of the year.

And I’m so sorry if you broke a bead of sweat while walking from your air conditioned car into your air conditioned office. Life’s hard, I know. :)

Justin Yermouth Returns with Advice on Vaginal Fisting

Jul 25, 2011 | Filed in Humor | 2 Comments

Last year, I wrote a guest advice column called Ask Justin Yermouth on my friend Chris’ blog, My 2 Cents. It was a spin-off of his own advice column, Ask Sofanda Cox.

Well since Chris is too busy fucking animals on FarmVille to write anymore, and I presume Sofanda drank one too many vodkas and fell down a flight of stairs, I suppose it’s my duty to keep the dream alive. Afterall, what would the world do without the brutally honest advice of fictional characters? So without further ado, here it is…

Ask Justin Yermouth

Dear Justin,

My boyfriend wants to fist my vagina. At first I was apprehensive, but after watching some videos with him, I think it looks kind of hot. We’ve been practicing and he can get four fingers in. I think I’m ready to go all the way with it. Do you have any advice?

Open Wide Wanda

That’s it for now, boys and girls! Be sure to submit your questions to Justin in the comments.

Summertime Memory with Mom

Jul 18, 2011 | Filed in Family | 0 Comments

It’s bedtime here and I thought I’d close out the day with a fond memory of summertime with Mom.

This story is from early childhood. Mom was self-employed so she was at home working while Dad went to his job each day.

As you can imagine, Mom worked best when little Nathan was quiet and didn’t get into too much mayhem. Sometimes she’d promise me that if I was very good, she’d take me swimming at the lake on Friday. Mom always kept her promises, so I knew she meant it.

Each day, I’d try my best to behave while impatiently counting down to the end of the week. It wasn’t easy, but it did teach me self control and discipline.

When Friday came, I’d get up early and gather up my beach ball, my favorite alligator raft, flip flops, and I was already dressed in my swim trunks. In fact, I think I’d slept in them. Then I’d pace outside by the car, waiting for Mom. I can just hear myself grumbling, “Mommmm, c’mon! I’ve been a good boy all week, letsgo! Pleeease!”

We finally made it to the lake in Mom’s big ol’ Lincoln Towncar. I jumped out as soon as we parked, went running through the hot sand and into the water. Mom laid on a fold-out chair to work on her suntan while reading People Magazine.

When I was ready for a break, we’d go to the concession stand and I watched them make cotton candy. I liked the blue kind. It reminded me of the sky.

I can still recall that sweet, sugary smell of freshly made cotton candy, spun in circles on those white paper sticks like clouds. I’d stick my whole face in it and bite off a big chunk. The sticky residue was all over my nose and cheeks, but I didn’t care. It was so good.

Mom and I would spend a few more hours in the water, then dry off and head home. It was another great day of summer.

Well that’s the end of tonight’s story, boys and girls. Have sweet cotton candy dreams and enjoy your summer day tomorrow!
