About girls and getting laid: I've had similar thoughts

I think it's well known that the subject of dating, sex and marriage is pretty popular.  And there is a whole, huge culture and product niche built strictly around the subject of dating and, more specifically.....getting laid.

It's not hard to find websites that claim to have all sorts of the right answers to those types of questions.  One of them is called www.cliffslist.com .

I've been a member of Cliffs List for some time.  I don't read it most of the time but when I do I find it interesting.  Here this morning (the day after Christmas, I think) I got around to reading one of the regular emails from CliffsList that's been sitting in my inbox for several days now.  It was interesting.

It was interesting because it tells the story of a guy named Paul Janka.  Paul apparently is one of those guys who's become recognized as an expert in getting laid.  Not just anywhere mind you.  His forte is picking girls up in New York City. Etc., etc........

Apparently Paul is getting out of 'the game'.  He says he's had enough of the one-nighters (although he says he 'gets it' at all times and often multiple times of the day) . 

In this short bit of text I'm posting he explains why he's gotten tired of his old lifestyle and is settling into a more traditional monogamous relationship with the girl of his dreams.

I thought it was interesting because he has a lot of the same opinions that I do.  Of course, his opinion is based on a lot more 'experience' than I've got but.......that's OK.  It's still very interesting.  I'd be curious to know how the guys who read WanderingSalsero feel about his thoughts.

Other than salsa.....this is what I enjoy the most

These are regular emails I get from EA Games, makers of the Command and Conquer series of 'real time strategy' PC games. There's many a night I've stayed up til the wee hours of the morning playing these games. Here's another 'Battlecast Prime' show:

For you Boy Scout and Girl Scouts out there

Great Ford SHO Commercial

I grew up in the days of the first 'muscle cars'.  The Ford Mustang, Chevy 396 SS, Chevy 327, Pontiac GTO, Ford 329, and Chryslers like the "Hemi", the Barracuda, the Super Bee, the Daytona, and the Chrysler 300et.al.). 

Did I miss any?  Well........I remember them well. 

We had a girl in our band, good ol' "Dixie Dunn".....ahhhh yes.  Little 'cutie' she was.  She had a red 3 speed stick shift Ford Mustang.  One of the early ones. 

Then, my buddy Mike Holt used to take his family's Red Chrysler 300 out and 'rag' the shit out of it until finally his parents caught on and bought him his own car (a Ford Falcon!)  Actually, I think his dad, who had been quiet a hell raiser in his early days, thought it was sorta funny.

And we had another fellow in our school class.  I can't remember his name and I really didn't know him very well.  He was one of the class 'ladies men'.  I seem to remember he was on the football team to.  Point is.....he had a very nice white Pontiac GTO.

I remember that he had a steady girlfriend and actually seemed to be a pretty straight guy.  Never got into trouble of any kind and kinda kept a low profile.  I think maybe that's why the girls liked him.  He came from a family that had money but he was also a nice guy.

Anyway......those were the days.  Going to make-shift drag strips at night, road racing the 18 miles from Jacksonville (Arkansas) into Little Rock with kids hanging out the windows screaming.

It's a wonder any of us are still alive.

But those were impressive cars.  They didn't have the agility that European cars did but they had enough raw power to make them plenty fun to drive.

Well, it looks like Ford anyway is bringing back some of that feeling, and then some, with their new Ford SHO.  The SHO has been around for several years of course but from the look and sound of this commercial, it's even better.  Check it out:

Ahhh......love in a sidecar!

Do you like history? 

And motorcycles?

How 'bout a slice of'em both put togather?

Ural Motorcycles are the only motorcyles in the world that come standard with a sidecar.  In fact, they're specifically designed for a sidecar.

Yeah, I know that sidecar motorcycles aren't as fact as even some motorscooters......or other kinds of motorcycles.  And certainly not as fast as cars.

But there's just something about them that's always been romantic to me.  I'd like to have one someday.

And of course it would have to be a Ural.  Ural has a very interesting history.  Check out this PDF.

Downhill rollerblading......wow!

This looks like more fun than downhill skateboarding!

Great way to smash the shit out of your TV?

My imagination in real form

I used to skateboard a lot when I was in highschool and I always wondered why nobody did it this way.  Finally I discover that it is being done.  Way cool!

The Onion is Back!

I don't know why it is but I've never been able to get www.theonion.com from my office at school.  I'm wondering if it's got something to do with the server and security settings there.  I'll probably never know.  But........egads!!  I can get it here at my pad.
