Biking home from work today I see this huge prick extension vehicle. Some sort of monster truck slim enough to fit the road. The anterior part is slightly erected and music is pumping loudly inside.

Let's put aside the minor matter of me being incapable of getting an Irish Catholic woman pregnant, which, frankly, in itself has GOT to be some kind of 'first' in medical science.Let's put aside the fact that 1 week from now I have to repeat the entire self abuse and humiliation adventure all over again.Let's put aside that my very manhood is brought into question by my previous experience.Let's focus on another aspect of my ever deteriorating existence that will serve to chip away at the remaining fragments of respect, self or otherwise, that I possess.I am already at somewhat of a physical disadvantage in life, I'm 'horizontally challenged'.At 5 feet 6inches, I am a short arse. By Irish standards I am freakishly small, by Dutch standards I could be bloody Frodo.As with most of life cha

A new energy-capturing knee brace can generate enough electricity from walking to operate a portable GPS locator, a cell phone, a motorized prosthetic joint or an implanted neurotransmitter, research involving the University of Michigan shows. A report on the device is published in the Feb. 8 issue of the journal Science. Authors include researchers from Simon Fraser University in Canada and the University of Pittsburgh, in addition to U-M.The wearable mechanism works much like regenerative braking charges a battery in some hybrid vehicles, said Arthur Kuo, an associate professor of mechanical engineering at U-M and an author of the paper.Regenerative brakes collect the kinetic energy that would otherwise be dissipated as heat when a car slows down. This knee brace harvests the energy lost

Well here we go. Game 1 of the World Series is tonight. The weather keeps threatening to rain, but so far I've only seen a little bit of drizzle. So yesterday a client of mine calls and he's trying to get a hotel for last night because we had a meeting this morning. Every single hotel in the Boston area was sold out. One of the Doubletree Marriots had 1 room available for $855 and one of airport hotels had 1 room for $600. Needless to say, his company was not going to pay that kind of money for hotel room.We eventually found him a room at a reasonable rate, but its pretty amazing. He called his company travel agency and the nearest hotel that had availability was in Andover. What can we say? Red Sox Nation is a big one, and a little on the crazy side. But 2 world series in the past 3 years? Pretty awesome. Where are folks going to watch the game tonight? Anyone out there going to the game? If not, which bars do you suggest?

United made a dream start and were two goals to the good inside the opening 18 minutes. Ryan Giggs’ free-kick from the left with 10 minutes on the clock was powerfully nodded home by Rio Ferdinand inside the six-yard box, while Wayne Rooney made it two when he latched onto Wes Brown’s cross to tap home from close range. (Read the full post about ‘Ron bags brace as Reds cane Kiev’…)

The Croatian striker scores two amazing goals in his side's 2-4 loss to Borussia Dortmund. The first one is an unsaveable strike from outside of the box.The second is a sweet volley from a shot/pass to the box. Pure class.

What the christ is going on with television people today. Is it that there’s just not enough good shows going around Hollywood, or the writers are terrible, or is it just upper management is too coked out to make proper decisions? I’d like to see the pitch behind giving fucking Kim Kardashian a reality show. Known for such hits as My Dad Saved OJ’s Ass and Tee Hee, Someone Leaked My Sex Tape! Giggle!, Kim Kardashian is… fuck I don’t even know what she is. WHY THE HELL IS SHE GOING TO BE ON TV?!?!? “We’re all so different. Khloe’s, like, hysterical and says these ridiculous things. Kourtney is such a bitch. I’m in between. Brody’s so wild. The two little ones are adorable… It’s just such a good mix.” “Brody” is none other than Brody Jenner, who you might know from his own efforts to grasp at the 15 minutes. They’re step-siblings, and apparently her whole family will be in the show. Don’t expect us to watch i

Quarterback Donovan McNabb will start training camp wearing a brace on his surgically repaired right knee as a precautionary measure. Coach Reid said that the decision was reached jointly by McNabb, his doctors and the coaching staff. Reported by Aaron Knox, Philly.com <<<Hotwire>>> Donovan has been one of the most productive passers in the NFL when healthy. Over 8 seasons he’s thrown for 152 touch downs to just 72 interceptions. Last season, McNabb tore his ACL in Week 11; which marked the third time in five seasons he failed to stay healthy for a full 16 games. Although most believe he’ll be able to return back to form by the beginning of the season, drafting Kevin Kolb in the second tells there’s a bit of concern. Average draft position as of July 27th: Overall: A.Green (47),D.McNabb (48), J.Lewis (49) Position: M.Bulger (QB5), M Bulger (QB6), Donovan McNabb (QB7) Projections: 3496/24/12

Two-goal Ashraful Qauader Manju inspired Brothers Union to a come-from-behind 2-1 victory against Rahamatganj in the penultimate round of the B. League yesterday.Manju, who replaced Faisal Mahmud after the break, cancelled Rahamatganj midfielder Mohammed Mamun's first half strike in the 70th minute and slammed the match winner in the stoppage time as the Oranges recorded their seventh win in 19 games.On a rain-soaked pitch at the Bangabandhu National Stadium that reminded the sparse crowd of a paddy field, football was far from attractive.Defending looked like a difficult job for both sides who struggled to get purchase on the slow strip but the attackers also shared moments of embarrassment.Local giants Brothers, who dominated the show, created the first real opportunity against the second-from-bottom old Dhaka outfit after 35 minutes.With the rival defence failing to clear a combined Brothers attack, Jalaluddin set captain Masud Rana with a free shot and the veteran leftback kept th

Anderson took advantage of the favourable bowling conditions to take two wickets England fought back to reduce India to 145-4 on an eventful day two of the first Test at Lords.James Anderson led a disciplined bowling attack while Chris Tremlett took a wicket on his Test debut.Ryan Sidebottom also took a wicket to leave the tourists trailing by 154 runs with six wickets remaining.After rain had ruined the morning session England had earlier been bowled out for 298, losing their last six wickets for 26 runs.India's new opening partnership of Wasim Jaffer and Dinesh Karthik did not last long after Karthik (5) was trapped lbw off Sidebottom.The tourists languished on 27-2 after skipper Rahul Dravid was dismissed for two after a peach of a delivery from the impressive Anderson. The Lancashire seamer produced an outswinger which Dravid edged to wicket-keeper Matt Prior.Sachin Tendulkar, who has a record 37 Test centuries under his belt, came to the crease with an average of just 19 at Lo

Adeanka struck twice but was sent off in the dying moments as Rahamatganj beat Chittagong Abahani 2-1 in the B. League at the MA Aziz Stadium in Chittagong yesterday.The old Dhaka side's foreign recruit scored both goals in the space of three minutes during the second-half but then saw Santosh of the home side score just eight minutes from time.Things got a little iffy for Rahamatganj when Adeanka was himself ejected after receiving his second yellow card of the match during injury time but the visitors left the port city with three full points as they survived some heart-stopping moments.With this win, struggling Rahamatganj reached 11 points from 17 matches while Chittagong Abahani remained on 12 points from 18 matches.

I don’t know about this one…how successful do you really think this reunion tour for the Spice Girls will be? They’re all 10 years older and from what I read over at the Daily Mail, they all will be getting a little help from a virtual voice. Apparently all five Spice Girls (Victoria Beckham, Melanie Chisholm, Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell, and Melanie Brown) will head to the studio to record the songs for their tour. If the girls sing off key on stage, their voices are instantaneously corrected by computer. It’s done so quickly that you would think that they were live. WTF? Boy, the management has a lot of faith in them, don’t they? They will start their global tour on December 7th in L.A., then head to two other U.S. cities - Las Vegas on December 8 and New York on December 11. Technorati Tags: Spice Girls, reunion,

FT. WALTON BEACH, FLA. A Ft. Walton Beach man recently licensed an invention he created seven years ago to a national health products brand.Robert Huffman, 60, currently working in Afghanistan for Kellogg, Brown and Root, created the 360° Hot & Cold Therapy Wrist Brace to deal with the pains he experiences in his own wrists as a plumber." I wanted something to take care of [the pain] and help other people, " Huffman explained, noting that nothing on the market currently helped.The brace is part of a line released through Health Enterprises' Acu-Life brand. It uses a patented hot/cold gel encased in a brace system, designed to ease sprain and strain recovery while allowing for mobility. It also uses a removable splint. The product was recently private-labeled to a national pharmacy retailer.Seven years ago Robert Huffman hired Pittsburgh's Davison Design and Development to develop, design and prepare his concept for manufacturing; however, it would be some time before it would be lic

'Upside Down' Home Sellers Owe More Than They Get by Nancy TrejosWashington Post 4/20/07 - snip:Jeffrey Taylor and his wife bought their dream home in Purcellville for $538,000 last August. Now they have to sell it because they are getting divorced and neither one can afford the mortgage alone. The most they could get for it was $430,000. After paying all the real estate commissions and taxes, they will still owe the bank $118,000. A nontraditional mortgage and a prepayment penalty mean Kimberly Pexton and her husband will owe $28,000 at closing."Five months later, I lose $100,000," Taylor, a high school teacher, said. "I don't think I can take $100,000 into the stock market and lose it faster." Such a scenario, known as a short sale, was unthinkable during the real estate boom of recent years. In the course of five months, a person could buy and sell a property and walk away with tens of thousands of dollars. Now, instead of receiving large checks at the settlement table, many sell

Ronaldo continued his fine scoring form, producing another double to bring us 6 points clear of Chelsea. How Chelsea have missed John Terry. Without him in their lineup, Chelsea have conceded 8 goals in the last 4 games, drawing the last 2. I missed a large portion of the game due to internet disruptions from the aftermath of the Taiwanese earthquake. Luckily, Kentona informed me that the game was showed in the Ghim Moh kopitiam. I rushed down to meet up with him and his significant other, and caught a good portion of the game, without missing any of the goals or exciting moments. On the 33rd minute mark, Ronaldo sent in a beautiful cross for Ole to head in the first goal of the game. At that point we thoroughly deserved the lead, having been the better side. 5 minutes later Sonko equalised for Reading. Again our defending from a freekick was woeful. Van der Sar came off his line and failed to connect with the ball that was floated in. Sonko rose above him and headed the ball into the
