Sometimes…

…I pray for Dexter to be real. I don’t agree with the death penalty, but this man needs to die.

Need a vibrator?

Thursday, November 15th, 2007

For the past five years, my friend Karen has run a really awesome business called Girls Night In. She and former partner Alison have hosted educational lectures and parties, which are like Tupperware parties but with sex toys. Best of all, GNI is based on feminist ideals, so instead of a Cosmo-tinged “how to make your man go wild,” their focus was on helping the ladies ensure that they made themselves go wild.

Sadly, the party aspect of GNI will be no more. Karen will be holding a “going out of business” sale tonight in the hopes of sending all of those dildos and vibrators to loving holes homes.

The sale will be held at Amani International Coffeehouse from 8:00pm-10:00pm.

Any additional details that you might need can be found on the GNI site.

If you are in the Pittsburgh area, check it out. Your vagina will thank you. And so will Karen, probably.

Richard Jewell…

…died today at the age of 44.

One of the most unexpected moments of Saturday Night Live in the mid-to-late 90s was during a skit in which Will Ferrell was portraying his recurring Janet Reno character. Richard Jewell walked on, not long after his name had been cleared and Reno had admitted that he had been wrongly accused, and calmly punched “Reno” in the stomach. Reno stood up, shook Jewell’s hand and said, “Alright. Same time next week?” “Yep,” Jewell replied. The audience went nuts. I can’t find a video of the skit online anywhere. Argh.
