The Bridge to Gender Equality

Ladies and gentlemen of the internet-

A few years ago, while admiring the line for the women's restroom at a bar (in a totally not weird way), I realized something: bathroom inequality is at the root of most gender relation problems in this country. How can we ever have equal opportunites if women spend 2-3 hours per day waiting in line for the bathroom?

For the past few years, I have been in talks with an industrial designer friend about repairing this glass ceiling with an invention we like to call the "She-Cock". The She-Cock is a lot like a penis, but it's for women. Gals, you would keep it in your purse, and whip it out when you're ready to pee standing up. You could use it in a toilet, a urinal, the woods, the ocean, etc.

Unfortunately, someone beat me to it. Meet SheWee!

The She-Cock works a lot like SheWee, but it looks something like this. Some day, maybe my dream will be realized, and men and women can finally live together in harmony.

Thank you Sarah Johnson for letting me know about the SheWee... For more info on SheWee, check out this informative podcast:

I just can't get enough Ape Rape jokes!

McCain Ape Rape Joke Recalled By Sources

News circulated fast late Tuesday afternoon that back in 1986, during his initial run for the Senate, John McCain allegedly told a crude joke about rape involving a woman's affection for an ape.

In an appearance before the National League of Cities and Towns in Washington D.C., McCain supposedly asked the crowd if they had heard "the one about the woman who is attacked on the street by a gorilla, beaten senseless, raped repeatedly and left to die?"

The punch line: "When she finally regains consciousness and tries to speak, her doctor leans over to hear her sigh contently and to feebly ask, "Where is that marvelous ape?"

The joke, as one can imagine, did not go over well with various women's groups, which responded with indignation. But the McCain campaign denied that he had ever said the offensive gag.

Obamarama Night at the Copper Door Tavern

Do you like Cheap drinks? Do you support Barack Obama (or do you at least like him better than McCain)? If you answered "yes!" to either of these questions, then you should come to the Copper Door Tavern for Happy Hour on Friday, July 25th!

I'll be bartending, and tips will go to the campaign.

Awesome design courtesy of Bart and Jess!

$1 Room for ONE DOLLAR in bright, clean apartment (Cambridge)

The following is a Boston Craigslist apartment listing, send to me by my friend Sayde Finkel (no relation). For some reason, it was removed. But I still had the listing open on my computer, so I am saving it for posterity:

$1 Room for ONE DOLLAR in bright, clean apartment (Cambridge)

I am looking for someone to rent the spare bedroom in my spacious 2-bedroom apartment in picturesque and desirable Cambridge. You must read carefully, however, as this situation is not suitable for all.

The rent is $1 per month, utilities included, as long as you bake me fifty (50) tasty cookies every day by 6 p.m. If you have not completed this task by 6 p.m., I will pour vinegar on all your belongings, throw them into the street, and have the locks changed. No exceptions and no excuses. Hell or high water, those cookies better be done and yummy.

Cookies are always cookies and never biscuits. I do not eat "biscuits".

I will decide the specific type of cookie the day before and will submit my preference in writing by 9 p.m. of that day. You are responsible for the recipe and ALL the ingredients (at your expense, of course). The kitchen is large and well equipped with cookie sheets, rolling pins, mixing bowls, etc. You may NOT hum or sing as you prepare the cookies. You may, however, recite song lyrics in a normal speaking voice.

Forbidden ingredients include anise, marjoram, allspice, caraway, and oats. I will nevertheless request oatmeal cookies from time to time and you must find a way to make them without oats. Good luck with that. The worst ingredient of all, though, is NUTMEG. If even one speck of nutmeg, even the tracest amount of the stuff, is discovered in my home, I will pour vinegar on your belongings and chuck them in the street. You may assume the locks will be changed. You may use cinnamon, cloves, and raisins, though I am rather indifferent to these and will likely not be impressed. Chocolate is encouraged, as is vanilla bean extract.

You will be given three cookie cutters: a crescent moon, a star, and a doggie in profile. All cookies must be in one of those three shapes. The doggies must be given names and all the names must be different and cute. Cuteness is my call, not yours. For example, "Smuggins" is cute but "Lionel" is not.

The cookies must be artfully arranged on a lace cloth on a silver platter and garnished. Permissible garnishes include jellied fruits and candied flowers. Sugared figs are under review, but don't get your hopes up.

Your room contains a twin bed, a dresser, a desk w/chair, and a TV with cable access. The TV is tuned permanently to the Food Network. You may watch only shows featuring cookies and cookie by-products.

If you are interested in this arrangement, please submit the following:

1) Your favorite cookie recipe
2) A picture of tasty cookies
3) A short original poem about cookies

Thank you.

Ravioli? Holy Cannoli!

For the past few months, I have been doing freelance work for Zagat's Restaurant Guide. On a call recently, a restaurant manager in St. Louis told me to check out an old SNL skit about Zagat's, so I did... It's classic Chris Farley and Adam Sandler, so I figured I'd share it with y'all! Enjoy:

Happ birthday America, indeed.

A word to the wise

There's an old Israeli saying regarding dehydration:

"If it's clear, you're okay. If it's yellow, you need to drink water. In Hebrew, it rhymes."

...And I think that saying holds true here in the United States. That is why I have provided this handy chart (via Amy).

Please be very careful using this chart - holding your computer while urinating can be dangerous.

Hope you found this helpful. If your urine is color #8, you should freak out immediately.
