Last Commented Men Blogs (205)

From the New York Times;



(continued in my first comment below)

I went 5 days without shaving. Why?
It only takes 10 minutes to shave and it's usually before a shower (that I do daily) and I usually regret waiting so long as it clogs the razor, takes 20+ minutes and I get a horrible scratchy shave.

Done. It's done.

...I of course am delighted, whenever one of you dazzling and brilliant CS LADIES contact me on my CS internal mail. I truly regret how often I have to turn down the many groveling proposals of marriage. Most are tempting, especially when a lady's total personal, and indeed, entire family wealth are offered in dowery. These, often accompanied by promises of being my sex slaves for life, with like offers on behalf of all the other women in their families, certainly get my initial attention. But c'mon fellahs, why the contacts from men? Most are either s*xual in nature---hmmmm, mustn't have reviewed my many rank homophobic blogs. Or they involve some business deal. One just today tried to tempt me away from my beloved CS platform, implying that CS is hopeless, and suggesting their own such site. The latter guaranteed rapid outcomes of marriage. MARRIAGE!!!! Again, how silly, given my views on the cursed institution. I block most. It really is a challenge being the me that I am. Such a heavy cross to bear.

...yes, all, it's a fact of life for most, but not for all. In these liberated days of the woman on top, and of wearing gold neck bling to bed, well, entanglements with those swinging former pendulosities and the bouncing chains, has led to many an embarrassing moment. Why many men in the know eschew loose neck bling, and favor smaller breasted women. But I digress. OK, having experienced a ten fold decrease meself, from the former 30 cm, I began searching for biological reasons, some reversible, perhaps. age related decreases in free testosterone? Nasty atherosclerotic changes in those all important three veins/arteries? Alcohol related peripheral neuropathies? And even psychological effects of seeing oneself in the mirror, especially after coming out of cold water. But no, class, the urologists see much more simple reasons for this scourge of male self esteem. Added FAT, go figure, in the pubic region, supposedly COSMETICALLY making big little Vierk seem to have nearly disappeared back into his little hole. We at the Vierk Institute of course immediately saw this as Fake News, VERY fake. But no, pupils, it may well be underlying (?overlying) fat that's causing at least part of the problem. And it gets worse. While it's always a struggle for all of us to reduce the size of those love handles, which so easily appear with advancing age, the added blubber just north of the organ we men all love more than life itself, IS THE MOST DIFFICULT ON THE BODY TO GET RID OF! Forget dieting. Or exercise. Even surgery (liposuction) is rarely recommended. What's left to say, except to promise a similar lecture to follow on sagging in the ladies. I'll only say, a cautionary tale from some moms to some daughters about being careful of what we wish for. Stay tuned. Class dismissed. Except for you there up back in the miniskirt, low cut top and shiny red FM high heels. Could you please come see me after others have left? You can trust me, I'm not like all those others.

.....so more deserving of the honorary title, than our last Affirmative action POTUS, whose given title of "law Professor of Constitutional studies", still brings tears of laughter to these old eyes. Almost as white guilt-self loathingly bestowed, as his Nobel Prize, for nothing but skin color. With no grants, students or publications. But I digress. We pray for Rush, who single highhandedly provided a national conservative radio outlet, to stand up to the still taxpayer funded, in part, (absent occasional begathons), so- called non -commercial and unbiased National Public Media. Major book sales,--- books, unlike Michelle and Hussein, that he actually wrote himself, including popular childrens' patriotic right writes on US history. Cigars finally caught up with him. So called advanced lung cancer. Yet, before vastly effective novel largely immunologic treatments, available for merely a decade, no longer an automatic 3 month death sentence. Hope it's one of the more treatable subtypes. Prayers.

..... Cries onto 88's, saying, "I can't play, just lost my voice." Did finish some of date. Roadies and band members comfort him, and help the 72 YO off stage, as crowd roars. Now, by analogy, when a similar thing happens, to some of us men, in the bedroom, can we expect such BROAD understanding?

I somehow didn't fully hear what you were saying.
Perhaps my "train of thought got derailed" (an old Phoebe Snow line).
Maybe my mind wandered a bit.
Please repeat what you said.
This time I'll try to focus..... I mean really listen.
Huh ? What ?

...our Brilliant Supreme Leader's partnership challenge to the Islamic Workers' Paradise republic. Of course, there's the emigres' selection effect, but Persians very often become successful everywhere in their diaspora. And most, especially younger ones, really admire much about the USA. We really screwed up, blind anti communism fashion, with our support of Shah, and allowing him medical treatment here, hopeless case as he was. But real diplomacy and strong stateshumanpersonbeingship would have these folks our friends, not foes. Now, if our brilliant dazzling President Trump can somehow pull that one off, it will be one more terror for the Dems. Admittedly, no easy trick. But as with many of his campaign promises, "we'll have to see" VERY we'll have to see.

....Iran and the Ukraine Int. Air disaster. No need for me to catalog the growing evidence, technical and otherwise, beginning with near immediate State deniability of missile responsibility, while the bodies were still warm/hot. I'm convinced that this typical "circle the wagons" behavior is much more from the high leadership, than more decent grounded functionaries, and citizens. My Iranian friends seem to think so, as well. But my angle here is a bit different. The military there, knowing that Mr. Trump is not Hilary or Jimmy Carter, or any of the crew now running for his job, may have been sweating bullets after their planned fake, VERY fake, intentially mistargeted guided missile "attack" on bases in Iraq. They could easily have hit things, and more importantly, diverted all air traffic to avoid possible target areas of a "shock and awe" US response. But the thinking probable was---let's hit an "unimportant" civilian target-little cost for us, and it may partially placate the angry call for revenge here, as we can say we were ready, and intent on, a strike against US attack. Slick. Panicked. Transparent.

I knew a salesman named Marty Cohen. He was popular with the Latin (Cuban) factory workers who had their folding chairs in the front parking lot during lunch. Whenever he would go to his car, they would all call his name and wave. He 'got a kick out' of that.
It was amazing how fast they could say his name... as if it were one word and always they would smile.

It wasn't until many years later I learned some Spanish. They say you always learn the bad words first... Marty Cohen was one of them!
