The Overspent American: Why We Want What We Do Not Need

Some of this just makes me want to throw up. Because it is so true.

Oh yeah - but I think that will be a world wide problem oder better epidemic. And if I look at myself - well I'm ashamed, I'm not innocent.

And the most-played song on UK radio is...

Snow Patrol's ballad Chasing Cars has been crowned the most-played song of the 21st Century on UK radio.

The epic ballad was released in 2006 and only reached a high of No 6 in the UK charts, but went on to spend a total of 166 weeks in the Top 100.

One of those tunes the cool kids pretend not to like but secretly do.

And what do the uncool kids pretend not to like but secretly do?

Following on from that sad news from haiducii about how boring music radio has become, some even sadder news.
What is the most listened to radio station in the UK? It's not what you think it is.
The 167,500 poor bastards who work for the Asda supermarket have no choice but to listen to their in-house radio all through the long working day, on top of that are 18 million customers per week who hear it during their shopping. Actualy, Snow Patrol aside, the music is not that bad and at least the adverts are not a distraction since they are all for the shop that you are already shopping in. And sometimes there is a funny coincidence, like there is no bread left and the song is The Stones "You can't always get what you want" or there is long tedious checkout queue and the radio plays The Kinks "Tired of waiting for you"

Galloping scallop

This gif if not photoshopped or otherwise digitally diddled wipes out my lifelong impression that clams and similar molluscs are stationary and just passively filter food from the water they live in.

Btw, their shell is identified with St. James, Santiago in Spanish, and so were traditionally carried by pilgrims to Compostela. They are of course the French coquille St. Jaques and might have begat their treat Madeleines baked in Medieval centres along the route to Compostela and simulate its shape.

Same madeleines that Marcel Proust presumably dunked in tisane that flung open the floodgate of memory that gave birth to his A la recherche du temps perdu.

The gif is deceptive in the way that the popular gifs which show a boy cum

ming again and again and again are deceptive. We all wish we could keep on squirting for as long as we wanted but in sad reality we need to stop and rest before trying again. Same thing for the jumping scallop, it might want to keep moving but it can only manage a few jerks then it gets tired and has to rest for an hour or more. Poor thing, I know how it feels.

Vienna remains the world’s most liveable city

According to an annual index compiled by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), a sister company of The Economist, the Austrian capital is the most liveable city in the world for the second year running.

On the EIU’s index, which ranks 140 cities on 30 factors bunched into five categories—stability, health care, culture and environment, education and infrastructure—Vienna scores a near-perfect 99.1 out of 100, putting it just ahead of Melbourne. Sydney and Osaka fill the next two spots in a top ten dominated by Australian, Canadian and Japanese cities. Higher crime rates and ropey infrastructure pull some bigger cities like London, New York and Paris down the league table, despite their cultural and culinary attractions.

Knowing the third part is probably the reason why I find it really hard to let go of my hoarded stuff.

Ah, well, T.S. Eliot knew that the important thing isn't really when the world ends, but how, in what way...

Read the ending of The Hollow Men:

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.

And when the world is finally whimpered away, we can start singing the lovesong of J. Alfred Prufrock:

Let us go then, you and I,
When the evening is spread out against the sky
Like a patient etherised upon a table;

Even if the world has not self destructed by 2050, many of us are unlikely to be around to see 4-20-69 come to pass. So why wait that long for 420-69 when you can get stoned and suck cock right now. Go on, you know you want to.

It’s odd that I did not turn into a futurist or SciFi reader when I loved reading Jules Verne, H. G. Wells and Flash Gordon as a young boy. Flash Gordon just morphed into Flesh Gordon as I hit puberty and that was the extent of it. I got a kick out of the tight pants the male characters had on in its comic strip depiction never realizing that it would come to pass with the present day sweat pants and yoga wear craze that looks terrible even when worn inside the gym.

The world’s best airlines for 2020

Air New Zealand is being honoured for the sixth time for its record-breaking performance, multi-award-winning in-flight innovations, operational safety, environmental leadership and motivation of its staff.

For some reason I can't see Ryanair on that list. Have they disqualified them from competing in case they show up all the other airlines?

Adria Airways, the national airline of Slovenia, is also not on that list.

Adria Airways, which is owned by German investment firm 4K Invest, filed for bankruptcy on 30 September. The airline’s slogan is "Taking Off To The Future", however, unfortunately, the airline will not be taking off anywhere any time soon.

The Straight Men Who Love Gay Porn

So yes, straight women are super-into guys fooling around, but does male-on-male porn have the same allure to straight men? As far as we’ve come on gender and sexual identity issues, there’s still a serious “no-homo” presence in the straight-guy community.

A quick search on Reddit reveals that straight-dude interest in gay porn is there, but so are the totally, completely, 100 percent hetero caveats when making the admission. “Any other straight guys get turned on by gay porn? I’ve never done anything sexual with a man before and I’m not likely to. I’ve never even found another dude attractive before, only girls,” writes Bosschap. “I’m straight, but something about gay porn turns me on. I often jerk off to gay porn, and a lot of the time I find it even more arousing then straight porn. Sometimes while I masturbate, I also can’t help fantasizing about another guy penetrating my ass.”

To get more quantitative about things, according to a YouPorn stat, 24 percent of male users say they watch male-on-male porn. For Richard, a 44-year-old in Baltimore, the hotness is all about the taboo. “I was looking for porn that was more exciting and edgy,” he tells me. “I wanted to feel that uncomfortable sensation of ‘This is wrong… right?’ Before that, I’d felt it by watching things like ‘forced oral gagging’ and sibling porn. Those seem like crazy/fantasy things that ‘normal’ people like me don’t do.” When I ask if he’d ever try anything like what he watches IRL, he says, “I identify as straight, but I bet a gay guy would know how to give an amazing blowjob. Would my hard cock go soft if I was watching a dude service me? Maybe I could wear a blindfold.”

Sixty-one-year-old Gunther, a retiree in Miami, discovered he was interested in gay porn by accident. “I did an internet search for a name of a drag racer, Jim Head. The erotic story that came up was a bi [male-male-female] story, and I was surprised at my arousal. One story led to another, and then to porn clips, a place I never thought I’d go,” he says. “When and where I grew up [Northern Illinois], interest in porn was a huge taboo, and gay/bi porn could have gotten you killed. Which kind of made it more interesting to me now.”

Other men tell me they get turned on by looking at another guy’s dick. Scott, a 38-year-old from West Virginia, says his interest started when he was 12 or 13, when he and a buddy would watch porn and jerk off underneath their blankets. “Male mutual masturbation is hot, and something I really enjoy watching,” he explains. “I found myself obsessed with how perfect some of their cocks are and how I wish mine looked that good. Guys also know what guys like and what drives them wild, so I think about that as well. There wouldn’t be much direction needed.”

That said, none of the guys I interviewed are out about their guy-on-guy porn consumption. Gunther, in fact, worries a lot about his wife finding out: “She’d castrate me if she knew I read erotic stories and watch porn. I honestly think she’d kill me if she knew it involved bi and gay porn.” Scott is equally secretive. “I just don’t think it’s that common to see a straight man voice an interest in gay porn. I think there are a lot of straight men with similar feelings as me, but they’d never admit it.”

Dave, a 62-year-old Midwesterner, takes it to the next level and uses his secret to make his marital sex hotter. “I find myself watching the same one over and over again. It’s where a man lies down on a bed and another man ‘teabags’ him. I feel like I’m the one on the bottom. The guy on the top moves forward to get his asshole licked. Then he finishes in his mouth. I get really turned on by it. When my wife sits on my face, I just think about the video sometimes,” he says.

Note to self: Search for “guys teabagging other guys” the next time I’m on Pornhub. It doesn’t get more manly than that.
