Are you a creepy old man? Would you admit it if you were? Does the nature of being creepy prevent you from even realizing you're pretty creepy?! If you are above a certain age, and are still looking at nudie photos of girls (women) that are half, or a third or even a quarter (or a fifth?!?!) of your age, do you instantly qualify for...

@horror_head Your grandfather sounds like quite a guy. Nice to know that you can have so much spunk at that age. Too bad you had to discover it for yourself though. I am really surprised that he was able to write so small and legibly that you would need a magnifying glass. I don't think I could even write THAT small, even 5 years ago. Maybe his impressive eyesight accounts for his perviness. If everything you see is a bit out-of-focus, it might not be as much of a turn-on. Also, it's really hard to realize that our older family members are just human, like we are, and are sexual beings. Unfortunately, it seems like in most societies, old people are supposed to give that part [their sexual nature] up because it grosses everyone out.

Hee hee hee... so much spunk.

Have you ever had one of those moments when something really small and really insignificant happens and suddenly your entire world falls apart?

This is what happened this morning:

I was in a hurry carrying 8 beer bottles (4 under each arm) from the garage and back into the house to restock the fridge, and one of the bottles slipped out from under my arm...

Our pagan-inspired tree. We weren't sure if we wanted a tree at all this year actually. Other years we just went through the motions, and celebrated Christmas because of inertia, it was what we had always done, and we felt it was expected of us. But this year, we wanted to be truer to ourselves and less disingenuous to others. In the end, we decided...

If Benjamin Franklin had his way, our national symbol/emblem would have been the turkey, not the bald eagle. If this were the case, would we still be buying approximately 280 million turkeys for Thanksgiving consumption this year alone? Would we be okay with the mass slaughter of turkeys if they were our national bird(s)? Would we be buying bald eagles to eat instead? ;)

It's not just for geriatric retirees anymore.

And this was just the tip of the bingo iceberg. I would post more bingo cards, but this is probably enough for now. Why bother writing an entry with actual content? No one wants to read that shit.

Relationship experts insist that the most important relationship you'll ever have in your life is the one that you have with your significant other/partner/spouse. This contemporary truism flies in the face of the long-standing conventional belief that the children come first. Family comes first.

What's correct? Modern truth or the traditional wisdom of yore?

Inexplicably, we have the highest, practically unattainable standards for our partner....

@crazytalk So, right back where we started: which relationship is more "important?" Trying to extrapolate from what is philosophically (or otherwise) important with humans and to what is important in lower-order species is beside the point. Humans are an anomaly. We have higher cognitive abilities which allow us to think things through. And a lunatic bonobo cannot gauge importance; the "lunatic" modifier implies the impairment of cognitive faculties. Which makes it all the more astounding when truth comes spilling out of its mouth. Anyhow, I'll take your bait and discuss the workings of relationships between lower-order animals. The most interesting bond in non-human animals would probably have to be between that of mother and offspring. I can't say whether you can jump from that and make the claim that it is the case that the strongest bond is between family in every species on the planet. That is a massively colossal claim. In fact, aside from the mother/child relationship (only until the child is able to take care of itself), I don't know whether there is any relationship in the animal kingdom which is held sacrosanct. For instance, it is often the case that animals find themselves in incestuous relationships. There are also instances when an animal is a "lone animal" (as in, a lone wolf) and not a pack animal, and is actually all the stronger for it. Are there wars waged between feuding families in the animal kingdom? Do the animals really have any consideration of what a family unit is at all, aside from the inertia which leaves them in a pack or group just because that is what they were born into?Do they have even have the most rudimentary loyalty to each other based upon what they consider "love?" Do animals "love" each other as we humans have come to understand this term? I don't know. I do know that many swans have a mate for life. Also, turtle doves and some vultures do as well. Maybe penguins too? (I'm no animal expert).The point is trying to compare what goes on in the animal kingdom with what goes on in the human world is ludicrous. It's like trying to compare a porsche with a ford pinto. The queen bee destroys the drone bee after they're done mating, same as the black widow. The preying mantis bites off her mate's head when she is done copulating with him.  Should we then extrapolate from those examples? No, probably not. But how about getting back to where we started? What I find particularly compelling about the modern belief that the relationship between partners is the most "important" is that it does turn all traditional beliefs on its head.  In the non-human animal kingdom, the main point of having a partner in the first place is to mate and produce offspring. But thankfully, with humans, we have the higher cognition to be able to want something even MORE meaningful in the relationship. We can pair with each other because we truly love each other. Two men loving each other. Two women loving each other. Or a man and a woman loving each other. There is so much more freedom in being able to think things through and not be entirely guided by instinct, impulse and intuition as lower-order animals are.
adelina:
If you put the relationship you have with your mom, or with your boss, or with your best friend, or with your children, or with ______ (fill-in-the-blank) ahead of the relationship with your partner/spouse, I do think relationship difficulties s are more likely to arise. But really, what the hell do I know? To quote Socrates:  I know one thing: that I know nothing.

Please bear with me as I go through this nasty billboard phase. This craze was brought on by a "Jesus is the answer" billboard I saw the other day on the side of the freeway.

Anywho, Jesus. What a loser. Lord! What a huge pain in the ass. God! My major gripe with that incomparable douche is his dipshit face. What else? How about--it's fucking...
