The question is, did that spam email come from Charlie Sheen, or Gaddafi?

OMG, Paula Deen Riding things made me laugh SO HARD. Also, holy crap, this picture is real: [link]

A bit of random googling of family names and places last night found me a book on Google Books that seems to be some kind of record of the Jewish community in southern Germany, and while I can't read the whole thing (I can sometimes kind of fake my way through reading German, but this is with the old Gothic font where I can barely figure out the letters), I found one place where it lists donations to various charities, and my grandmother's grandfather's father gave some money to "the needy in the Holy Land" in 1867 or so. I wonder why they kept records of that.

Wait, Charlie Sheen's toddlers were living in his house until a couple of weeks ago? Well, maybe some of the hookers babysit.

Before Child Services intervened I actually thought to myself, "Well, at least the twentysomething pornstars now living with him might provide the kids with some much-needed stability."

In the same spam?

Yes. I guess after you blow up the village you take heroin to make yourself feel better about it.

The question is, did that spam email come from Charlie Sheen, or Gaddafi?

The email address was gmcchicago@comcast.net. Should I alert Mayor Rahm?

Also, holy crap, this picture is real

I think the glass of red wine really makes that photo perfect.

I can't tell you how pissed off I was that they pulled the new episode of Detroit 187 for yet another interview with Charlie Sheen.

Dog Tongs (Jul, 1960)

...he’s using a pair of old-fashion dog tongs on the dog. Dog tongs were kept in churches in Britain up to about 100 years ago, to remove dogs who fought or otherwise misbehaved during services. This set comes from a Welsh place of worship once attended by many shepherds’ dogs.

Dogs went to church?

I assume that's before they knew that all dogs go the heaven anyways.

Is Wife Swapping Risky (Oct, 1964)

From a letter to a psychiatrist:

Right now, we know of a few married couples who feel this way and every so often we get together and dance and play games. Eventually we indulge in sexual activities, exchanging wives. This is done delicately, and without any drinking. I can assure you that each couple is happily married, and we all love our wives, and of course they love their husbands. We don’t feel any jealousy or guilt for doing this.

From the reply:

The writer of the letter makes wife-changing seem a simple, pleasing kind of behavior if the participants are free from a conventional moralistic outlook. However, from much professional observation of sex activities of this kind I am skeptical about their soundness and cannot join in approving.

...

The reasons for this are two-fold. First, there is the question as to why a man and woman who are maturely response to each other should feel a need for this kind of stimulation. Most psychiatrists feel that it arises from ungratified childhood sex curiosity and may be related to unconscious homosexual urges.

So, say you're married to someone of the opposite sex. And then you decided to have sex with someone else of the opposite sex.

In conclusion, GAY!
