What would you do for $5? Better still, what would you pay $5 for?


Five Dollar Bill
A Five Dollar Bill

Quick – what would you do for $5?  What about a million dollars?

Web Watch has made many proposition bets for $1 – because you’d be surprised what people will do for one dollar, and it’s usually worth the price of handing over that bill.

You know what’s worth a $1 payment?  Watching someone do a series of cartwheels across the fairway at The Masters tournament.  Yes, they earned their money.

Getting back to the original question, as the old joke says, once you’ve identified that someone has a price to do a particular task, the rest is just negotiation.

How Many Classic Arcade Games Can You Name? (It’s the arcade version of Where’s Waldo?)

Web Watch is a big fan of the classic video games that populated arcades back in the 80’s and early 90’s.

Not like today’s gaming arenas, filled with craptastic ticket-dispensing machines that teach kids different variations of gambling in order to “earn” enough tickets to buy a lousy stuffed animal that would have cost half as much if purchased directly from the local Toys R Us.

No, we’re talking the classic quarter-munching games like Galaga, Ms Pac Man, Defender, i-Robot, Dig Dug, Robotron, and others from the best game years.

Laugh all you want, Nintendo-boy.  We liked our games simple, with a single joystick and maybe two buttons.  Cheesy audio and bad graphics were state-of-the-art at the time… and you still felt as if you got your quarter’s worth every time you played.

Can You Name the Top Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual Characters of All Time?

The Gay Cookbook

Web Watch admits that we watch a lot of TV.  And frankly, we’re willing to watch practically anything that the networks and various cable channels decide to fill our TiVo automatically-recorded suggestions queue with.

Which is why we don’t understand what all the kerfuffle is that some have about the types of characters that TV anf film writers and producers decide to use on their scripted shows.  Web Watch doesn’t care about the sexual orientation of the characters on the shows or films we watch – we just want what we’re watching to be good in the first place.

Tom likes beautiful women who can’t poop. (Memo to Tom: beautiful women don’t poop, ever.)


It Hurts When I Poop

TOM HAS A FETISH ABOUT CONSTIPATION.

Specifically, a fetish about women who are constipated.  Beautiful women, that is.

Tom’s fascination with poop – or lack thereof, it appears – puts him into the same category as a klismaphiliac (a person with an enema fetish), a mysophiliac (a person with an excretion fetish), or an eproctolagniac (a person with a fart fetish).

Keeping the pipes clean is a four-step process:

  • Hydration:  more water in the colon helps keep the pipes clear
  • Mechanical: add bulky high-insoluble fiber to your diet
  • Irritation: the colon needs a little irritation, such as psyllium husks or flax seed
  • Stimulation: caffeine, nicotine, or exercise

If you’re not doing enough of each of these four items, Tom may take an unhealthy interest in you and your clogged-up bowels.

So Web Watch would like to offer this public service announcement to help our more attractive Web Watch readers avoid people like Tom and become more regular, with some of these HANDY TIPS TO RELIEVE CONSTIPATION:

  • Activia
  • Coffee
  • Cigarettes
  • Senna Tea
  • Suppositories
  • Sugar-free candy
  • a Reuben sandwich
  • Aloe juice (mixed with lemon and water)
  • 10 oz hot water and 1 lemon squeezed in
  • 1 cup Magen-darm tee (Really strong chamomile tea)
  • 3 shots of espresso
  • A tummy massage starting at the navel, in a clockwise motion up to above your pubic bone for 2 minutes
  • Touch your toes and reach up into the air and repeat for 2 minutes.
  • Eat fresh unsweetened, active culture whole milk yogurt with raw Quaker oats
  • Eliminate white flours and refined sugar
  • Increase intake of healthy oils like Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
  • Constantly eat celery before, during and after meals
  • 2 tablespoons of raw wheat bran
