Oh, my holy god. (NSFW)

Checking out your referrer logs can lead to some interesting discoveries, and I don't just  mean pictures of tits.  This should've been its own "onanotechnology update".  That link there comes courtesy of the excellent Thundernoses blog, who have some explaining to do WRT that name; but whom I've put in the A-List, despite that funny feeling that there's something communist about them.

I'm not really much of a tit-man, truth be told.  Tits be cool and all, but really, I'm a leg man.  Or a nape man.  For example:

 
Schuuuuu- WING!  That's some grade-A nape-porn right there, buddy.  Nobody gave hackles like Audrey.

In case anyone's been wondering, the domain-name means "Tits out: it's summer!" But that was probably easy enough to reason out.

ONANOTECHNOLOGY UPDATE (NSFW):  Long-suffering cameltoe fans will be happy to hear about the release this week of Smash Pictures' newest edition of "Cameltoe Perversions", starring Fleshbot faves Jezebelle Bond and Lauren Phoenix in an "awesome display of fashion and wild sex".

Unbelievably, I spent a bit of time this afternoon explaining to a nice young German girl the term "Camel-toe" (Kamelenfuss, in German), and now there's a whole DVD coming out about them.  Spooky.

At a recent blogger meetup here in Augsburg, I...well, blog meetup is a rather grandiose name for a date.  Well, it wasn't exactly a date either.  I mean, for all I know, Augie isn't even really a person.  Rube certainly isn't a person.  He's more of a personality disorder.  Hi, my name's Eric.  Rube is also my name, but Eric's more my name than Rube is.  At least more often.  More people call me Rube than Eric, but important people, my Mom for instance, calls me Eric.  Glad we could get that straight.

Anyways, there was this blog meetup, or date, or whatever.  Did you know that some unlikely words differentiate American English from British English, other than the obvious things like "lift" instead of "elevator", or names like "Ian" (my nephew's name is Ian, so shove it)?  Americans are supposed to say, "Anyway" at the beginning of a sentence, whereas Britons say "Anyways".  Likewise, Americans are expected to say "Backward", whereas Teabags say "Backwards".  I'm pretty sure my family says "Backwards", but since I've been tooling around the communist outland now for about 7 years, I can't even remember what my family looks like, much less what kind of backwoods-waterhead colloquialisms they let fall out of their toothless, moonshine-chuggin' pieholes.

Ok, let's see, where was I? Oh, yes, the 461st Diurnal Augsburg Blogfest. I used to live next to these two brothers, who were perhaps the most gifted natural entertainers I've ever met.  Some people just have a way of amusing people; they're the kind of people who just can't stand it when there's no conversation going on, and take matters into their own hands, either by jumping in the middle of the room and putting a lampshade on their heads, or starting a conversation with one person that ends up as a lunatic monologue that everybody gathers round to watch.

But this is really going nowhere.  One time, ages ago, I dropped acid and couldn't stop playing in the summer rain.  It was fucking fascinating.

Ok, I'm filling out my absentee ballot here, so I figured I'd let you guys in on how the vote's going to look this year. Well, actually that's only accurate if you live in Cherokee County, Georgia.  Ok, on to the votes:

Hmm...Amazingly enough, after the office of Public Service Commissioner, on the entire ballot there's not one single Democrat.  That means that of 18 offices, only 3 are being compete for by Democrats.  Cherokee County has gotten pretty conservative over the years.

But what's that on the 2nd page?  A list of referenda on constitutional amendments. 

1. To define marriage as the union of a man and a woman?
   Shall the Constitution be amended so as to provide that this state shall recognize as marriage only the union of man and womain?
   I vote yes.  That should piss off a few dandies in Atlanta.  What the hell, I don't live there.
2. To provide the Supreme Court jurisdiction to answer questions of law from federal courts. (House Resolution No. 68)
   I don't understand.  I won't vote for it.  No.

1. A Referendum to Authorize Cherokee County to Issue Licenses to Sell Distilled Spirits by the Drink
   Shall the governing authority of Cherokee County be authorized to issue licenses to sell distilled spirits for beverage purposes by the drink, such sales to be for consumption on the premises?
   WTF?  Cherokee's got no liquor in the bars?  Don't tell that to the dudes down at Taco Mac who poor a nice, long Jack.
2. A Referendum to Permit and Regulate Sunday Sales of Distilled Spirits or Alcoholic Beverages by the Drink on Sundays in Cherokee County
   Shall the governing authority of Cherokee County be authorized to permit and regulate Sunday sales of distilled spirits or alcoholic beverages for beverage purposes by the drink?
   
3. Blah One Percent Sales Tax Blah
   Too long to read, and it's about raising taxes.  No.
4. A Referendum to Authorize Cherokee County to Excercise Redevelopment Powers
   I don't understand this one either.  No.

Where's Rube? Rube's been working on a project for the last 4 weeks. It's finally coming to an end in the next day or two, and is that final phase I like to call the "They bought it, they can break it period". It's that period after you deliver a good product to a customer, a product of which you're proud, and they come back with the alterations they've cooked togehter in some sort of internal focus group. Usually, this consists of ideas that were thrown out early in the process, and now come back. In the area of programming, this invariably consists of re-introducing behaviors you've spent long hours removing as bugs. In design, it usually consists of putting ugly things in which destroy the overall harmony of appearance.

Well, that, and freezing my balls off.  Getting your heat cut off in Germany in October is no way to live.  The words "witch's titty" come to mind.
