A bra for men has become the hottest selling men’s underwear item on a Japanese online shopping site.
It comes in three colors: black, pink, and white. The reporter’s closing words at the end is pure understatement: “Today, I’m feeling a little awkward because I’m wearing a bra for the first time in my life.” Really? A little awkward?

A kenken puzzle is relatively straightforward. Just like in sudoku, you have to fill in numbers in rows and columns without duplicates. But there’s a catch….

I was digging through my archives of things that need to be posted, and found this entry about romance that I wrote in February 1995. Considering that Valentine’s Day is this week, I thought it fitting to post anew instead of burying it in the 1995 area of the archive.
THE ROMANCE TOP TEN LIST
Raymond Tucker, a professor of interpersonal communication at Bowling Green State University, did a number of studies on romantic behavior. In one study, he asked adults between the ages of 18 and 79 to complete an open-ended questionnaire on romantic acts. Participants were asked to list specific acts of romance and space was alloted for up to twelve responses. On average, men wrote in 7.8 responses; women averaged 11.8 responses. Here are the overall results of romantic acts that the study participants came up with, in order:
10. Touching (Hand on knee; pat on shoulder or hand; slight caress; petting; caressing; head in lap or sitting on lap; playing with hair)
9. Walking. (In the evening; at night; in the rain; in the moonlight)
8. Gifts (Expensive; diamonds; jewlery; candy; homemade, unexpected, or surprise gifts)
7. Sharing outdoor leisure activities (Picnics; beach; ice skating; skiing at night [“night skiing!”]; moonlight swim or drive; picking apples; fishing; driving to enjoy scenery; walk in the park)
6. The Hug. (In bed after the alarm goes off; unexpected)
5. Holding Hands
4. Talking (Honest conversation; soft and quiet; intimate talking; sharing life goals; being silly; joking; sharing memories)
3. Dinner (Dinner out; at home; making dinner for/with me; with candlelight; with music, wine, no kids)
2. Flowers (Roses, wildflowers, both giving and receiving)
1. The Kiss. (Mostly just “kiss” or “kissing”; several reported “unexpected” kiss; some designated anatomical parts)
Everyone knows that The Sopranos on HBO just wasn’t the same in its censored, rehashed version that was aired on A&E during its so-called “syndication”.
I know that they filmed the series with two scripts specifically for the syndicated market, but the softer censored version just didn’t do the original justice.
So here it is, a 27 minutes-long recap of every swear word used on The Sopranos, shown in chronological order.

UPDATE:
Looks like the original has been taken down. Try viewing part one, until it too goes away…

It’s no secret that Americans are called many names around the world: Fatty McFat, Lardo Plumpenstein, Big Assinator – to name a few.
This has not gone unnoticed by the people who run THIS IS WHY YOU’RE FAT, a photo essay on the crappy, yet tasty, food that we eat almost every day.
Yes, your favorites are here: bacon, cheese, bacon-wrapped cheese, cheese-wrapped bacon, fried bacon, bacon fries, bacon on pizza, pizza on bacon, bacon-covered bacon, candied bacon ice cream, the bacon donut, and everything in between. No, not everything shown is bacon-related, but it might as well be that way.
The real question is, how many of these foods have you tried yourself?

Sometimes you have a need to add some text electronically (whether it be in Microsoft Word or in a graphic of some sort), and you want to do it in your own handwriting. Or maybe you want to electronically add your signature, but don’t like having it available as a single graphic.
Before now, your only option was to use your mouse – awkward! – or try to hookup with somebody who has one of those pen tablets that you might be able to borrow. In other words, there weren’t a whole lot of options.
But now there’s Your Fonts.
All you need to do is download their single sheet template and write on it with your favorite marker with your special handwriting style. Use your scanner to scan the template into an electronic form, and upload the form to the site. Your True Type font will be ready for you in minutes, waiting to be used in whatever application you want to put it in.

Rating: B+
Rated PG-13 for language, adult situations, sex talk, and Scarlett Johansson in her underwear
I was surprised how much I liked this film, as I went in with trepidation about whether it was going to be some cheesy chick flick or bad book adaptation. But to my surprise, there were some genuine laughs to be had. Not belly-busters like you might get with an over-the-top comedy like Borat, but good times had by all. The film clocks in at a solid 2 hours of entertainment.
It’s a great date movie (for first daters or long-time relationship folks), and shouldn’t lead to any dangerous post-movie discussions about where your particular relationship may be headed. It’s a great film for the women to hit on Ladies Night Out, but it’s not one for the guys to see on their own.
One thing I found amusing was Kevin Connolly’s part, which is almost a complete 180 from the character “E” he plays on Entourage. If you’ve watched the HBO show, you’ll know what I mean.
