A Few Hundred More People I Feel Sorry For

I thought about doing this on the radio, but that would probably be a bad idea, because I know me.

Mr Little Penis gives up

A Romanian man whose surname means Little Penis has given up trying to change it because of red tape.

Constantin Putica, 45, said he had got fed up with trips to various state offices and constant bureaucratic hassles.

He said: “I have got used to people laughing when they hear my name. I can live with it.”

But Putica is not the only Romanian with an embarrassing surname, local daily Libertatea reported.

According to state records, there are another 243 people with the same surname, 233 people with the surname Muia which means Oral Sex and dozens with the name Caca (Faeces), Cur (Ass) and Coi (Testicle).

The Creepiest Thing I’ve Heard All Year

Dream holiday turns to nightmare

A German professor who went on a dream holiday to Costa Rica woke up in an airport departure lounge to find his leg had been amputated.

The professor said he had gone to see a doctor at a hospital in San Jose because his left foot was swollen.

He said: “An aspirin usually did the trick. I have had the problem before – it was nothing serious – just something caused by my diabetes.

“When I got to the hospital they put me on a bed and I heard the word amputate. I tried to protest, but before I knew it they had given me drugs to black me out, and when I woke up I was at the departure lounge.

“My suitcases were by my side – and then I realised my leg was missing. I couldn’t move, and when I checked my wallet I found that £200 had been taken out and replaced with a receipt for the amputation.

“It was like a bad dream and I could not believe what had happened.”

Professor Ronald Jurisch, 50, from Dessau in Sachsen-Anhalt, said the holiday was booked for him by friends for his birthday as the trip of a lifetime.

After the operation, Prof Jurisch collapsed and was taken to a private clinic where he was diagnosed with blood poisoning.

He said it was four weeks until a special medically equipped plane took him back to Germany where he underwent 23 more operations to try and repair the damage from the amputation.

He is now seeking to take legal action against the hospital in San Jose.

Breaking The Site Again

Carin and I just finished completely overhauling the links section. We added a bunch of stuff and cleaned it up so that it’s much more organized than it used to be. So as usual when things like this happen, we need you to let us know if anything doesn’t work or doesn’t look right. Just leave a comment or email one of us and we’ll do our best to fix it as quickly as we can.

But if everything is working, then have fun checking out all of the new stuff, or the old stuff that you haven’t visited in way too long.

One last thing. If you’re wondering why Karine isn’t listed anymore, it’s because her blog is gone. She deleted it at the end of last year but I never got around to taking her link down. Hopefully she pops up again somewhere soon.

Chilling Thoughts

I don’t know why I find this so scary. But here we go. Off on another strange jog through Carin’s mind.

I had the TV on, and this commercial came on for this new weird thing that some company has that makes air fresheners. Anyway it’s a disk and you put it in this special machine and press a button and it somehow sprays out five different scents, a half hour for each scent.

Ok that doesn’t seem too weird. But here’s where I get kinda freaked out. They call it “scent stories”. And they talk about how they tell you a story with scents. Ok, no. it’s not a story without words, music, or at the very least, pictures. You cannot tell a story with scents, especially not one smell for a half hour. That’s one slow moving story. It would be like me sitting here for a half hour going “Once upon a time, once upon a time, once upon a time, once upon a time…”

I think this is the part where I got freaked out. Someone actually said on the commercial, “I never get bored.” Ok wait a minute. You can sit there and sniff the same thing for a half hour and not get bored? Maybe that smell is going straight to your brain. Maybe it’s not just a smell. Maybe you’d be just as amused by a show about rainforest animals viewed close up with a wide angle lens wearing hats. Ok South Park reference, but I think you get the picture. I just have to wonder, the really evil part of me, whether there’s something else in these scents that we don’t want to know about.

And here’s where it gets really creepy for me. It makes me think of the book “Brave New world”. Anybody remember the feelies? The mindless movies where the people could feel everything..and the scent organs played? And there was more emphasis placed on making the scent organs and the sensations good so the people wouldn’t think? Well now we have scent organs! Aaa!

I don’t seriously think air-freshener companies are out to brainwash us, but it sorta makes me go, what the hell? Am I going nuts? Will they be coming to take me away, ha ha? What do you guys think?

What The…?

I swear sometimes this site has a mind of it’s own.

After I posted my mall burping story I went to make sure that everything published correctly like I always do and I saw the site fixing itself. When I posted earlier the clock must have been messed up because it was about an hour ahead. No big deal, that’s happened before and who really cares if the time is exact anyway? But when I posted the mall thing the time was right and somehow the site realized that my newest post was posted, at least according to the clock, a few minutes before the previous one and it switched them right before my eyes so that they would be right. It’s nice to see the site doing something weird and that something being good for a change.

That’s A New One

The weirdest thing happened to me the other night at the mall when I went out with my friend so we could buy Christmas presents for each other. I know it’s January, but we don’t live in the same town, and anyway, that really doesn’t have much to do with the story.

So we’re walking through the mall at a pretty good speed when all of a sudden, some guy walking the other way comes right up next to me and burps in my ear. He sort of leaned in a bit when he did it too so I know it was directed at me and not just a general burp that happened to get away from him as he walked past us. After taking a second to think about it, I did the first thing I could think of, that being to turn around and say something like “thanks man, that was a good one.”

The whole incident took about 5 seconds and it was all done without anybody stopping or even slowing their pace, but for a 5 second moment in time, it’s sure stuck with me. I guess that’s because I’ve never had that happen to me, seen it happen to somebody else, or even heard somebody tell a similar story other than Matt’s old one about getting spanked by some guy at a hockey game. Maybe I never thought I’d be able to compete with that one, I guess I was wrong.

There’s Gotta Be A Better Way

Reno, Nev. – Police received a call for help from a 50-year-old Reno man who said he couldn’t stop bleeding from a self-castration operation. Police and paramedics responded to the call and took the man to the Washoe Medical Center. According to hospital officials, the man had administered a successful castration on himself thanks to directions he found on the Internet. The man said that he performed the castration in order to lower his libido. Lt. Ron Donnelly told the Reno Gazette-Journal that “The man obviously needs some sort of counseling.”

Ya think?
