Yield: Prostitute Crossing


2010-04-05-attenzioneprostitutebyAdamCrowe.jpg

The Telegraph UK reported last Friday that this traffic sign outside of Treviso, Italy has been causing some confused motorists. Just to quote a few:

"I couldn't believe it - the woman has a mini-skirt and high heels on and very big breasts.

"I just couldn't work out what it was for?

"Does it mean I have to look out for prostitutes crossing or that they are available around here?"

Who can blame them, the sign is hilariously vague. What kind of hookers do they have in Treviso?

A St. Patrick's Day Sex Limerick


celtic_ireland_irish_341601_l.jpg


Though mid-March can be sort of yuck
The Irish, they're known for their luck
So they'll drink their green beer
Making vision less clear
Hopefully they're not too drunk to fuck.


This is not what I meant...

When I posted Hot Chocolate's "You Sexy Thing" as the baby-makin' song of the week, suggesting a strip tease, this is not what I meant.

However, this is hilarious, he's got the first part right-just gotta work on makin' sure the underwear is clean.  Also, tighty-whities might not be your knickers of choice for such a venture.

Dating Advice inspired by the Mathematical Order of Operations

516694_black_and_white.jpg

The amount of time one should spend with a person before having sex seems to be a hot topic amongst the blogosphere...maybe just a hot topic in general in this post sexual revolution world. 

We've been liberated-but somehow sex still complicates things, emotions get involved despite our best efforts to leave them out of the process. Why not revert to the problem solving skills we learned in high school to make sense of it all?

The Urban Dater wrote a post today showcasing his male version of the order of operations for dating in response to a tweet from @lildevilmama who was inspired to post about the very same order of operations by one of my fave/fello ChiNow bloggers, Jess Downey of All the Single Ladies

The gist-how should a dating relationship go? What is the right order to put a relationship in to make sure things turn out well for both parties?  I'm going to give this one a shot with the old high school algebra mnemonic device used to help remember the order of operations, Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally:

I'm on a Chicago Sketch Com Video Kick: Lady Parts-Faking It

My editor over at The Deli tweeted about this Chi-based comedy group, Lady Parts, on Wednesday morning. Of course I was taken with troupes moniker and peeped their website. Awesome.  All of the videos I watched at their website were totes hilair. But I thought this one was particularly relevant and very NSFW:

1938 Dating Advice-Don't Talk and Don't Get Wasted.

Curling Condoms

HHlogo.png
If you've been watching the Olympics today, you'll know that the ole U.S.A isn't doing too hot in the curling department, but that's okay because they will most likely be making things hot later on with their official condom brand, Hurry Hard Condoms.

Teaming up with sponsor Kodiak Technology Group and Monterey County AIDS Prevention, USA Curling through sales and promotion of their signature condoms hope"to use the inspirational elements of sport and the Olympics to contribute to the ongoing needs of education and prevention, particularly for today's youth."

Moral of the story...If you've been doing a whole lot of drinkin' and sweepin', don't forget to wrap it up.

Wednesgay Friendship: It's a Party in the USA

Baby Makin' Song of the Week: The Super Bowl Shuffle



This may not be your traditional baby-maker, but on a day like today, I can't imagine a football loving, American guy or girl who wouldn't be up for getting down to the Super Bowl Shuffle by the 1985 Chicago Bears.

Even though there is really nothing sexy about this song, the hilarity of getting revved up for the big show down between the Colts and the Saints this evening with a serenade by Walter Payton was too much to pass up.

Have fun tonight, and remember, too much seven-layer-dip and cocktail wieners do not a sexy evening make.

Pork: The Other Viagra

1519121063_0f075b7265.jpg
The President of Argentina, a country known for it's love of beef (hello Tango Sur!), is touting the benefits of pork in the bedroom.  This effort is being made to encourage the Argentine population to eat more pork.

Reuters quotes President Cristina Fernandez, "I've just been told something I didn't know; that eating pork improves your sex life ... I'd say it's a lot nicer to eat a bit of grilled pork than take Viagra."

She then went on to intimate that she had eaten the other white meat the previous weekend and "things went very well..."

Guess that sheds a little light on the term "porking."

Sex and Pens

As a writer, it's pretty typical that I have any number of pens and pencils on my person at any given time. So this little montage of sex explained by pens cracked me up.  Thanks Buzzfeed!

NSFW-A Good Way to Sell Washing Machines

Digg's weekly and daily newsletters are always a great source for hilarity, and this is no exception.

Danish company, Fleggaard, produced this ad for washing machines.  Not sure what barely dressed women and washing machines have in common, but this commercial certainly got my attention.

So random, so hilarious.  I'm sure my male readership is going to love me forever for bringing this barrage of boobs into their life.  Your welcome guys.

Where Was Chicago's No Pants Day?

Oh Right, the temperature here was probs about -20 degrees with windchill (maybe an exaggeration, but that's how it felt okay).



Crazy folk from Improv Everywhere in NYC and Capital Improv in D.C. rode public transportation yesterday sans bottoms.  I'm sure it was similarly cold in both of those places, but hey, if you're an exhibitionist, you're an exhibitionist.  But I say, "why not wait until the summer time?"  I guess it would take away the element of surprise a little bit.  Lady partakers would just be able to hike up their skirts and be pantless.

I can't imagine doing this in Chicago, but that's mostly because I avoid being outdoors at this time of year.  BRRR....

Hope everyone is staying warm. Happy Monday.

Breaking Up is Hard to Do: Methods for Letting Your Mate Down Gently

break up.jpg
One of the things I find to be the absolute pits, one of the worst and most uncomfortable situations to be in, is a break-up.  Whether I've been on three dates or have been going out with a guy for months, the very idea of initiating a break-up causes my heart to palpitate.

Being the broken one in a split is no good either. The literally aching heart alone is enough to send anyone crying into a bottle.  Jilted is not so sexy.

Though painful, breaking-up is a fact of life, and I'd like to share a few methods, some tested, and some that have come highly recommended.

Adventures in Dating: Kisser in Training

mwm05079.jpg
So I was g-chatting with my friend today.  We were talking about things that can go wrong in the first few dates with a new guy, when the topic of kissing came up.  What if you're out with a great guy and that tension filled moment of the kiss goodnight arrives and he starts licking your face? Or worse yet, not moving his lips at all? 

"OH that's easy to fix," she types, I can hear her sounding like an old pro.
"What?"
"Yeah, you just have to train them. I've done it a couple of times."

This idea is hilarious to me. Typically, if the kissing is bad I take it as a sign of poor chemistry, apparently it's just a matter of a few easy moves...

Digital Love: Shouting from Your Desk Chair is Not Shouting from the Rooftops

420009_mouse_love.jpg

I'll never forget watching that late scene in Superbad when Seth and Evan declare their love for each other, saying they want to shout it from the rooftops.  A common sentiment, I've been up on that roof too, when you are so in love you want to the whole world to know.

It seems the internet is full of haters these days, haters of love on the FacebookYourTango.com ran a posting, 5 most Annoying Facebook couples, and there is even a whole blog dedicated to obnoxious married folk on the FB called STFUmarrieds.  For some reason there is something particularly nauseating about paying witness to posts like, "I have the best boyfriend ever. Luv U Baby,"  or even worse, couples conversing with each other on Facebook... Aren't their phones for that?

Adventures in Dating:Too Much, Just Right, Not Enough

Thumbnail image for 448917_bottles_of_beer_28.jpg
In my recent dating experience, I seem to be encountering an imbalance of fun in the men I am meeting.  Some don't drink at all, some are so hungover they have to cancel. I'm beginning to appreciate moderation more and more.

Though I have been known to have a drink or two in my day-I mean please, I'm as Irish as they come- once I hit 24 the hangover after a night at the bar doing shots became unbearable.  While I still like to go out and have a good time, I think my puking days are over.   And somehow, I'm having trouble finding a person who can meet me there in the middle.

Mama's boy didn't drink at all.  My roommate immediately called deal breaker.  I defended my position, "It doesn't matter, as long as he can still have fun."  Sure enough, homeboy was humorless, he never would have lasted amongst my jovial bunch of friends. Broken deal.

Baby-Makin' Song of The Week: Weezer


]
Weezer is awesome, it can't be denied.  They've been rockin' hard for years. I remember making up dances to "Buddy Holly" on the playground in fifth-grade and listening to my friend, Matt play "The Sweater Song" on the beach at Spring Break junior year.  The recent release of their latest effort, Raditude, has me in a Rivers kind of mood for the first time in a long time. 

Thus, in honor of my favorite, geeky rock band, "Only in Dreams" is the baby-makin' song of the week. Unabashedly romantic , this ballad rocks for a full 8 minutes, and is perfect for getting your favorite nerdy partner ready to get busy.

Carmen Electra Sex-Tape Leaked


Carmen Electra (6).jpg
I can't say I'm suprised that Carmen Electra has a sex tape, even a lesbian one at that.  It's not as if former Playboy Pin-up/Baywatch babe has ever been bashful about her sexuality.

If you've already started your holiday shopping, you may want to throw one of these trusty Carmen Electra Professional Pole Dancing kits on the list.  A perfect gift for any lusty lady.  WHAT?!  This news is so not shocking.

Baby-Makin' Song of the Week: Tune-Yards


This post is dedicated to the AWESOME band I saw open for the Dirty Projectors on Friday night.  Tune-Yards is a 1 woman band consisting of Merill Garbus.


I loves me the lo-fi, indie rockin' ladies, and when she played this song, "Rebel Rebel," at the Bottom Lounge the whole venue was getting down to the sexy sexy beat. As we all swayed to the steady rhythm and sultry, screaming vocals,  I thought to myself- this would be a great song for makin' babies.

One Night Stand


I Love these girls!!!  I am sucker for novelty bands, ever since my friends from high school sat around a campfire coming up with silly songs, cleverly named ("God spelled backwards is Dog" anyone?) and brimming with hilarity.  Garfunkel and Oates is sort of like a female Flight of the Conchords, I got addicted to their YouTube page last week and watched pretty much everything they've done. It's fine, they are the tits. I've also been singing this song for the past 5 days.

Sass Factor: WTF!

courtesy of VulvaLoveLovely @ etsy.com

I wish you all could have seen my face when I opened the link that led to this picture.  WTF?  Who buys a personalized vulva pendant? 

Here's the seller's pitch:
 "Celebrate your own beauty.

Each piece is an original, one of a kind hand sculpted image of its owner to remind her that regardless of what the world and the people in it may tell her: she is beautiful."

If you want to be reminded that you're beautiful by wearing your vuhjay around your neck, check you can visit her here.

(P.S. Thanks to Sarah for sending me this hilarity!  You are a champion amongst womban.)

Introducing breath mints for your vagina

113494_yawn.jpg
I got this email from a PR rep recently:

While many women enjoy it, many feel self conscious about their partner performing oral sex and wish it lasted longer. Linger, a first of its kind product, removes any self doubt in women and allows for an increase in overall quality and length of oral sex. Linger, a tiny tablet made with natural ingredients, inserts easily into the vagina and creates a clean peppermint taste for up to 2 hours.

Is this something you can tell your women readers about? We can also send samples. Please let me know. Thanks.
Since my vagina tastes like Christmas, I have no use for this product. But they don't call me the Mother Theresa of Vaginawesomeness for nothing. Therefore, it is my duty to give you, THE WORLD, information about this wonderful creation. And a better PR campaign. So I called forth my minions (you're allowed up to 7 when you're the Mother Theresa of Vaginawesomeness) to get their thoughts as well as think up better advertising strategies for Linger, the breath mints for your pussy. Enjoy!

This product seems redundant to me. Am I the only one who douches with Listerine? Oh and when are they coming out with the companion ball wipes?

This is such a stupid idea! However, if they could make it into a chocolate sundae flavor...
