A short time ago I returned from a very early morning meeting in DC. Via the train and both coming and going I ended up sitting next to ”chatters”. How is that when I am trying to catch a few quick winks I always end up in that situation? Don’t these people realize I am not used to getting up at the crack of dawn? Anyway it was a long trip for a two hour meeting but it was necessary and I did not feel like driving. I might reconsider the driving thing though because I did not find the early morning chatting pleasant. I am no good before ten in the morning.
I was breezing along catching up on emails-blogs when I came across this little ditty at women’s space-the margins.
Larry Flynt it seems has just gotten his hard on again by releasing, with the blessing of the NYT, HBO and Duke — no fucking kidding — University
This is not progress kiddies and this is not freedom of speech; this is supporting a racist, sexist bigoted child pornographer and incestuous piece of shit.
Sorry that is a fact.
Surely you can figure out another way to give yourselves an erection.
I’ll be back later to acknowledge and pass along some thinking blogger awards.
I have been given two by some delectable bloggers, so this time instead of giving only one I may just have to pass out the whole ten.
For now I’m going to get into some running clothes, meet a friend to do a couple miles of the Appalachian trail. The benefit of choosing to live further away from DC is it takes me less than fifteen minutes to get to a lot of good hiking trails.
Reading about sick, elderly, incestuous pimps always makes me feel like taking a good run.
May I use the word precocious when referring to a twenty-one year old?
I want you to make it clear that when you say things like ‚“Surely you can figure out another way to give yourselves an erection”, you aren’t referring most of us out here reading you regularly. I for one get my erections without debasement of any form of life and from what I can tell most of your readers, a sexy bunch certainly, probably lean in that direction.
Speaking of the hiking, one thing I haven’t explored with my son is hiking. We live near the trail too, not as close as you but almost and my son is old enough now so that is something I am going to have to look into this summer.
carry on cooper
Trouble is, jacob, we’re sitting here in our tiny corner of the blogosphere, saying “the right things” and (unless you’re luckier than I) just getting by. Plenty of us not doing that much.
Flynt and his ilk? They’re crying and raising ol’ One-Eyed Dick all the way to the head offices of Merrill Lynch.
What’s sadder than Flynt’s crap?
The millions who read it. And pay for it. Big time. I’m working on potential sources for the next generation of medicines. He posts “dirty pictures”. He has mansions. I haggle with Admin over the cost of envelopes.
Pornography is proof positive that Darwin was right about the origin of the human species.
Well I am just a monkey man …
(Let’s see if I can get this comment thrown in Cooper’s spam box, just like the last one …)
Jacob: I just got back, we only did three miles but it was spectacular. Little kids love to hike, I say do it.
I wasn’t necessarily commenting on the people here of course, you know that. I know nothing about how anyone reading this blog routinely gets an erection, and unless I ask specifically it is probably better no one tell me.
It was a general rant. God that Flynt is a creepy sort though.
OC: I’m sorry about your tendency to end up in the garbage can. I rescued you though I got here just in time. Eat more sushi, maybe that will prevent it.
OC you do crack me up sometimes even when you are serious.
The thing that bothers me most is people like him make it all dirty when it doesn’t have to be. NYT — wtf anyway.
Jacob said it for me. It’s too easy to get erections to have to bother with all that degrading stuff.
Flynt is a nasty piece of work.
The New York Times will do anything for money. Stop reading it.
I wish to have time to hike, maybe in a week or two.

That’s it Coop — run it off girl! There’s no surf right now, someone’s gotta excerise around here!
Perhaps you try wearing your bra on the outside of your outfit… maybe those who want a conversation will think twice before sitting next to you. Or not.
G: Well enjoy the ease of erection they tell me if fades quickly with age.
Yeah the NYT is a money whore for sure.
The hike was great I should have taken a longer one, but to be fair I did work for half of the day — if you count the travel.
Leigh: I was seriously considering going to the Delaware beaches because a “storm which is no longer a hurricane” was going to pass by, but I won’t have time this weekend. ;(
What bra????
;)
That’s an answer I expect to hear in the hippy heartland that is Santa Cruz!
I still can’t get used to discussing erections in the blog of a twenty-one year old woman, especially one who doesn’t giggle at the word.
I will remain speechless on that subject.
The point is I agree about the likes of Flynt.
I should start coming earlier, you wake me up.
I love train rides, I use th trains frequently in Europe.
Cooper – do you ever pretend to be reading a book? A dry one that nobody will comment on? And get very ugly glasses – there used to be a whole thing we did to make ourselves look ugly on the subway
People on trains only become chatty when given no encouragement to people they judge to be attractive
It’s very hard to be a woman in your 20’s and 30’s traveling alone, or most places, but I think it can be easier than it was in the 70’s. This could be an entire dissertation, or a big part of my book
Agree you should always carry a book or even the laptop. The issue with you is that you have a permanent smile tattooed on your face and it’s a real smile not a fake one , this causes people to think you want to talk to them. You need to practice ” the I’m tired and not in the mood to talk frown”.
As for Flynt — scum. Best to ignore. The link to what his daughter has to say about him is interesting, it’s the first time I’ve seen that. I’m not surprised.
Enjoy the hike/run. The shower afterwards might help, too. Is it ok if I don’t read the link about Flynt’s daughter. I find him creepy enough already.
I hope you are not talking to me. I can figure out numerous more fitting ways to get an erection, or could before you posted that video and started a fight between me and my girlfriend — an argument about Falwell. Thanks Cooper.
Flynt is the worst of the worst, he is ancient. The thing about the daughter just prioves the point. The NTY should be ashamed. I’ll stick to the “Baltimore Sun”. It’s good for those of more plebeian stock. It also has a better sports section.
I have never taken a train.
Oh, and I hear you about the chatters.
I did the Trail earlier this week, all the while listening to the howitzers bang off at Ft Indiantown Gap. Makes me very sad to thing some of those folks will soon be deployed in that hellhole otherwise known as Iraq. I’ve been doing quite a bit of trailing running/hiking the past couple of weeks. The weather and my boots have been cooperative and I see no reason to stay inside glued to a 17 inch globule when there is so much of Mother Nature’s beauty to enjoy.
Too bad your outdoorseeness has been disrupted by larry the jackass and a broken bra whilst on the train. …
meow.
