The nut jobs were bound to hit universities and colleges eventually, and I don’t disagree. With it still being very difficult to adjudicate those campus rapes and all. Oh, that’s not what they meant? Hummm
——
Another useless study telling people that smelling good makes them more attractive.
“Pleasant and neutral odors make women find head shots much more handsome than does the stench of B.O. or rubber.” Wow what a surprise. Get out of here.
It’s raining, I’m cold, feeling a tinge of sadness, with the leaves taking their last tumble from the trees and all.
I’m looking forward to Halloween, a holiday I didn’t celebrate all that much as a child. I’m pretty sure I will get “trick or treaters” at my door this year. For some reason the thought of it makes me happy. I’m having friends over to celebrate and help me pass out treats. I’m not sure about candy, but i’ve been assured that passing out apples does not go over well with kids so I’m trying to find an worthy substitute.
Confessional:
I love Dexter.
I said it.
Later, I’ve got to hit the cold rainy streets.
Addendum: For those who have inquired about the comment name and email area being too light — it only happens in IE. I fixed it last time but since upgrading to 2.3 and having to upgrade the sandbox I have yet to go back and fix it again. It has something to do with Google and I’ve yet to have time to figure out what I did last time to change it. I’m working on it though I promise.
I once did a useless study about how many useless studies happen weekly, but results are inconclusive.
Rape is never a funny matter, however the inventor’s side of me wonders if some day scientists will develop some sort of defensive shock weapon for the violent intruders. Of course the wearer of the device would suffer no pain while the intruder suffers stabbing pain, heart attack, possible death while dropping to the floor screaming…
BTW, I’d seen Dexter for the first time this past week & surprisingly I liked it. I didn’t like the promotion, and I thought glamorizing serial killers is rather lame, but it peeked my interest enough to want more. I’m still glad I don’t have to deal with hiding guilt issues like that though.
Universities and Colleges???
Sigh.
I see what you mean about misleading.
I suggest those people keep their kids out of college.
Dexter rocks. I feel guilty for watching it but that’s the dude from Six Feet Under, I had to give it a shot.
You’d be surprised how many people do not know the value of a decent shower.
I switched to IE, I see what you mean about the name and email part.
Hi I’m Jake… and yes there is a reason you have no idea who I am… I’ve never posted on here before; I have been reading though, and am entertained while at the same time giving my brain a bit of a workout.
Anyway, (and I’m sorry about this) I love useless studies; reading them is a great way to completely waste your time, when you have nothing else to do. Though, I usually have something to do so… scratch that.
I haven’t seen Dexter yet but have been planning on checking it out, so… all of your endorsements have encouraged me to check it out sooner…
And to finish off this incredibly long monologue I’ll input my own endorsement for an internet browser that I just recently found (and fell in love with)… Flock!
That’s funny, because I love the smell of rubber. Especially burning rubber. Yummy.
i find your stepping out into cold rainy streets strangely, poetically melancholy. it’s been rainy in manila this past week and well, i felt a connection. unless you wore wellies.
Maybe my trees have too many leaves yet (why are yours near bare when you live south of me?) or maybe I am a bit dense, but what is misleading about sexual assault at Annapolis? I wish the article stated more about the actual event instead of diverting to some study. btw, based on past comments from two female middies currently at Annapolis, there is a strong perception that sexual assaults are not treated seriously and the only real punishment doled out to the miscreant is dismissal plus 4 years on a dredge as a non-com.
Oh, and I’ve misplaced my vinyl of “I love the smell of burning leather.” Reading your latest entry would really fly with that in the background.
You mean because the title looks like the murder occured at the Navel Aademy?
I want to concgratuale you on calling that commenter out on his turdiness. I was aftaid you were becoming one of those sickeningly nice bloggers who read too many blogs on how to blog and how to comment nicely to placate all commenters. That comment proves me you’ re still here. WTF was that anyway?
You mean if I had taken a shower more than once a week, and rubbed eucalyptus on my body Ashely would still be with me?
If they’d left universities and colleges off the last I might not be laughing so hard. How fucking stupid can you be.
I’m a Dexter fan, too. I also like angst-burdened vampire characters.
YAY ME!!! I made the list twice! ACLU AND A University Prof? I’m probably on a watchlist somewhere.
The anti ACLU movement always cracks me up in their insistence that taxpayers pay for the court charges etc in these cases.
I never knew that courts were private and that private monies pays for ADA’s, typists, judges, clerks and the costs of running a court
They would have you believe that these costs are only borne by the government in ACLU cases
You know that that, and the entire First Amendment used to be my big blogging issue
I learned that you can’t change stupidity — -and there’s enough in the blogging “left.”
Bennet: Where would we be without useless studies? At least some people would be unemployed, maybe quite a few if we go strictly by the numbers of useless studies out there.
Dave: Collective sign.…then a belly belch.
John: Yea, I haven’t fixed it yet. I can’t concentrate.
jake: hey I have another jake here but he calls himself casey most of the time so I think I can handle it.. I believe you the youngest to comment here is some time, so welcome. Flock I will try.
Two Knives: Who doesn’t love the smell of rubber, especially when toasted.
{Illyria}: The rain has yet to stop so the melancholy mood continues as the parched, red and sore throat commences.
SK: I don’t know why ‚it really depends on what part of the county I am in. The colors were actually more brilliant the closer I got to DC this year, which I found strange.
I think the wind coupled with the drought was part of the reason.
G: I thoughr eucalyptus was for keeping arachnids away?
Sandra: I knew I could count on you. I did a post on vampires once. I love some of the quotes from “Interview with a Vampire”. The only good movie Tom Cruise ever did.
Coyote: Figures you’d be on the list.
Making me proud.
Pia: It has come to me slowly, not being able to change stupidiy. You have just crushed my last bit of hope with your statement. ;0
Do these study ever get beyond Pysch 101???
Tricker or treaters — too bad they can’t go out past 7PM. I can remember 11 PM shopping for candy.
Dexter, looks cool from the reviews. Don’t have cable channel — so I get to miss another good show.
Have a scary weekend!!!!
