T&T&A Book Party at Larry Flint’s Hustler Club
Next Thursday, September 9th at Larry Flint’s Hustler Club (409 E. Baltimore St., Downtown) from 8-11pm comes one of the more unusual book signings/parties I’ve heard of in a while (and by that I mean ever); NY based photographer Tony Stamolis’ recent release T&T&A – a book solely devoted to pictures of topless women alongside pictures of tacos and other Mexican food – is coming to town and doin’ it up The Block style right here in Baltimore. I thumbed through a few pages of the tome and what can I say, it’s a bunch of topless women and dirty greasy Mexican food. So, if that’s your thing then by all means grab yourself a copy of the book next Thursday! … Read entire article »
Dispatches from the Spam Box
For members of the blog set, spam comments are a fact of life. Annoying, link-filled facts of life that fortunately get filtered 99.9% of the time to their appropriate home, the spam box. The thing about spam, though, it has gotten considerably bizarre in recent history. Aside from the usual links to some sort of Viagkra WEBISTE 4 CHEAP, a few have caught my attention due to their context; the post, the “author” and the comment itself can sometimes be unintentionally hilarious. Here are some of my favorites. … Read entire article »

Fruit Bats – gettin’ it ON
It’s not often that I bother to make reference to the fact that professionally speaking, I am a bonafide grade A nerd-ass scientist who works with and studies animals. But this particular article recently published in PLoS ONE is just…. WAY too good to pass up saying something about. The article, entitled “Fellatio by Fruit Bats Prolongs Copulation Time” describes in great detail the process by which Chinese Fruit Bats engage in fellatio during copulation, including statistical analysis and postulates as to the biological purpose of said fellatio. Hell, even the opening line from the abstract is a total gas: Oral sex is widely used in human foreplay, but rarely documented in other animals. But all this text is totally boring. Fortunately, THEY MADE A VIDEO OF FRUIT BATS HAVING ORAL SEX. AND … Read entire article »
Work Weirdos – Vol. 2
Anonymous sources are paydirt. This list of work weirdos makes me consider leaving the workforce altogether and digging a deep, deep hole somewhere out in West Virginia and never speaking to anyone ever again: Let’s see, where to begin? The guy who wears a captain’s hat like the Skipper from Gilligan’s Island? The woman with the fanny pack that always looks terrified? The cleaning guy that drools and told me that the CIA trained him to kill? The security guards that pull women over to ask them out? How about whoever it was that smeared human feces in one of the buildings? Or the guy that got caught jerking off in the coffee pot? Where to start… we certainly have some characters. Jesus, where the hell does this person work, Sheppard Pratt? … Read entire article »

Work Weirdos – Vol. 1
Work weirdos. We all have them. And let me just tell you, my place of employment is full of weirdos. One such weirdo I have dubbed Toothbrush Guy. I typically run into Toothbrush Guy when I’m in the bathroom – where he brushes his teeth, several times a day. Like, four or more. This guy brushes his teeth enough times a day that he actually smells like toothpaste. See this picture over here? It’s his toothbrush. He will typically leave it on the sink, complete with toothpaste, and leave the bathroom to let it ….ripen? until he comes back later to brush his teeth (again). I have no idea. All I know is: it’s weird and he’s weird. Oh, Work Weirdos. When will you learn? (if you have any work weirdos you’d like … Read entire article »
