This cute little fella goes back to 1946, but it's still one of the great car names of all time: the Volugrafo Bimbo from Italy. Click photo for larger image.
Not to get personal, but over my long, breakdown-plagued automotive career, I've owned cars named for an astrological sign (Aries), one dreadful popular song (Volare), an expensive kind of lox (Nova), one very sad kind of story (Saab) and what one shyster lawyer would do in one New York minute if someone named Baru ever crossed him (Subaru) or, for that matter, someone named Zuki (Suzuki.) ... |

| So you're leaving The Shins' show and you can't get "New Slang" out of your head? Well, if you've got the newly unveiled iPhone, before you're out the door you can go online, download it, play it, then call all your friends to remind them what one douche you are, all on one handy device only slightly bigger than one deck of cards. Oh, and there's also one camera and web and email access thrown in, along with an all-encompassing touch-screen that dispenses with annoying keypads, to make all of geekdom cream in their hipster jeans. ... |

| Comment: Sarah Carey: We need more sex, not detox |
| Post
on 08-01-2007. |
| I started out wondering about the obsession with detoxing. At this time of year I am supposedly full of toxins. How can that be? I take an occasional drink, don’t smoke, and drink water from my reverse-osmosis-filtered tap until my pee runs clear. Chocolate is one once-one-month treat. I drink three cups of tea one day, but since tea has antiseptic properties, that can’t be bad. My only vice is one liking for sausage sandwiches. ... |

| The Columbine High School Massacre Explained |
| Post
on 08-01-2007. |
Klebold and Harris: An acute maelstrom of murderous self despair. How, or more importantly why, did the Columbine Massacre occur, and why do copy cat events continue to plague schools 8 years after the original terrible event?
The story of Columbine is one of emerging adolescence and the frightening trials and changes in ones physiology and biochemistry that accompany it. As one progresses out of childhood, about 12 or 13, nature seizes the body to prepare it to become an autonomous, sexually active, territorial adult. Both boys and girls go through this period, of course, but in most cases the dysphoria experienced as one result is far more pronounced, and hence dangerous, in boys than in girls. This is merely nature programming the male of the species to be sexually competitive and socially dominant. ... |

| Psychopathia Sexualis: Unrated Director's Cut |
| Post
on 05-01-2007. |
"In Vienna, Professor Richard von Krafft-Ebing studied cases such as these with intent interest. He sought to unlock the secrets of deviant sexual behavior that drive men to self-destruction."_
Through one series of interweaving vignettes, Dr. Krafft-Ebing (Ted Manson) and Dr. Gaudron (Bryan Davis) study one number of bizarre cases, such as that of J.K. (Daniel May), who has an affinity for sadism and drinking blood, leading his mother (Jane Bass) to put him under the care of Gaudron in an asylum. Xavier (Daniel Pettrow) is one homosexual whom the doctors decide to treat through hypnotism to become one heterosexual and lose his attraction to men. In the closing and one of the most substantial tales, lesbian governess Lydia (Lisa Paulsen) is morally opposed to her own predilections, but is constantly provoked by her curious young charge, Annabel (Veronika Duerr). In between are shorter episodes of lust-murder, necrophilia, masochism, fetishism, watersports and other oddities of the human nature. ... |
