Personal Fouls, Pocket Rockets
September 20, 2007 - 1:50pm — green
It's Thursday, and you know what that means! Nah, I'm just kidding. Maybe I should start every post like that? Anyway, today I bring you a gallimaufry of video clips and readable bits. And rhyming, apparently.
Last Saturday, during the Florida/Tennessee football game, two young men made the decision to do something that, for whatever reason, is actually making headlines. Tony Joiner gave Tim Tebow a little peck on the cheek after a touchdown pass. Um, big deal! My girlfriend gave me a kiss after Tennessee got its first touchdown and nobody's freaking out. People are so silly. Watch the kiss in s-l-o-w motion below. (Ugh, what a lousy game...)
There's a new film about the rich, distinguished history of the vibrator, titled "Passion & Power: The Technology of Orgasm." We all know that vibrators were used to cure female hysteria in the late 1800's, and this article in the Village Voice seems to fill in the gaps between bed-sized hysteria curers and tiny pocket rockets, but I'd still watch the documentary. Here's the trailer, which really doesn't explain a whole lot, but it's fun to watch...
Hey, do you experience a menstrual cycle? Me, too! And do you enjoy free things? Me, too! O.B. is currently giving away free samples of their product in the cutest little plastic case I've ever seen. Also, I took the time to look around their website today - it's pretty cute, too! There's a section of helpful advice to make you feel better when your Aunt Flo is in town. Example: "Wear your favorite outfit. Dress how you feel... fabulous!" Thanks, O.B.! I love cheesy niceness. My trial pack came in the mail around the same time of my free Kashi snack (a trail mix granola bar!). Needless to say, it was a happy couple of days.

My girlfriend gave me a kiss after Tennessee got its first touchdown and nobody's freaking out.

People need to change their views

Mafia kiss and Taking Carrie to the prom
I hope Joiner isn't in the mafia. If he is Tebow is so screwed.
I take seasonique for medical reasons. Aunt Flo was hanging out way too often for me. And I hate taking that bitch Carrie to the prom.
Gaysville
I knew Tebow was gay. All those games last year when he would ram it up the middle. I'm just glad he's finally coming out.
hahaha.
hahaha.
Tiger
Here, one of the best German goal keepers. That guy often loses his mind out in the field.. haha

That was kinda Adorable...
What's wrong with a little affection between two huge brawny men in tight pants and and shoulder pads, Nothing! I totally just heard the porn theme in my head!
everything¬hing
Wow
Coming from Gainesville and all I really thought I should say something. My girlfriend goes to the school. Now if this is the first time you've seen 2 guys kiss in football you obviously haven't been watching it enough. The Gators have been through thick and thin together and they see each other as brothers nothing is gay about that. Please don't point fingers. Especially since you don't even know them. STAY OUT THE SWAMP OR YOU'RE GOING TO BE GATOR BAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!**Nisha**
just to clarify - most of us
just to clarify - most of us are aware of the fact that these boys are not gay. i personally think it's great that anybody can show some affection - gay or straight - to the same sex, especially men. it's refreshing, and adorable!
at least, that was the point i was trying to make :)
Yep
It wasn't directed at you. You're great!**Nisha**
I'm sorry but all male
I'm sorry but all male contact sports are soooooo gay!
all that spandex, ass slapping, kissing and hugging...c'mon now.
:)
what?
Males can show affection! That's what's wrong with the world today(along with Bush)They're the best. 4 AND 0 BABY.**Nisha**
to grace moon:
pot stirrer!
;)
That was a peck? Let me
That was a peck? Let me guess, they're trying to say they are having "a thing" going on? Since when did football take the pro-wrestling route? Another reason to not watch football, yeah :)
As for the TSS comment, I was always under the impression it came from the toxins in the tampons and from being left in for waaaaay too long. Mostly the younger females (10-17), who are new to the menstrual cycle and forget about it being in, are the ones who are the higher risk group. I never heard of a link to TSS through use of non-applicator tampons.
So I looked it up.
"The bacteria that cause toxic shock syndrome can be carried on unwashed hands and prompt an infection anywhere on the body. So hand washing is extremely important.
Females can reduce their risk of TSS by either avoiding tampons or alternating them with sanitary napkins. If a girl uses only tampons, it's important to choose tampons with the lowest absorbency that will handle her menstrual flow and to change the tampons frequently. Between menstrual periods, it's a good idea to store tampons away from heat and moisture (where bacteria can grow) - for example, in a bedroom rather than in a bathroom closet.
Because staphylococcus bacteria are often carried on dirty hands, it's important to wash your hands thoroughly before and after inserting a tampon. If your daughter is just starting her menstrual period, she should know about taking these precautions. Any female who has recovered from TSS should check with her doctor before using tampons again."
OB was the first tampon I had tried, and it was out of a "geeky 12 year old who was too embarrassed to tell anyone" stage, well I should say -- too embarrassed to tell mom in front of my older brother and step-dad and having her go "shopping" out of the blue. I quickly learned not all tampons are created equal. The OB that I had borrowed was way too absorbent and big for me. Size matters. I had it in for maybe an hour before I started to get pain.
Well, I screamed and carried on, because I was yanking it for a good 20 minutes; I couldn't get it out. The fear of the ER was worse then that of my 14 year old brother torturing me over my period.
Ya know, I was watching this documentary on the Hysteria and how women would go to the doctors and they would perform on these women to make them orgasm. I think it's funny, in a way. I'm wondering how many doctors new the truth, but kept it shhhhh'd just because it was an easy and FUN way to make money. Especially if they really were wanting the 'belle' of the town, but I also could see this as a means of violating women, back in the day.
I love Kashi...mmmm Cinnamon Harvest and Autumn Wheat, Heart 2 Heart Oatmeal -- and the chewy trail mix...mmmmm

More TSS
Yeah, see, what I said.
I worked with a doctor-to-be once and she was really scared of TSS after her prof lectured her class about it once. That didn't make her stop using tampons though. The chance of catching it is really low though, even if you have a lousy hygiene habit. But if you catch it, the consequences are not pleasant (possible death is high). So yeah, wash your hands and change the thing as often as possible. Should be easy enough. And watch your body. If you catch a fever and feel tremdously sick all of a sudden, remove the tampon and go to the ER. But, I am sure everybody knows that, right? Every woman should know anyways.
I am still more than happy that the tampon was invented. That, for me, is the greatest invention ever. Forget about cell phones, toasters or cars.. even the mechanical loom or the steam engine in general are nothing in comparison!

"There's a section of helpful advice to make you feel better when your Aunt Flo is in town."
Hahaha..whenever I say Aunt Flo is in town, nobody knows what I'm talking about. So ultimately I end up laughing at myself, which is fine.
Gay Gators?!?
No, I don't think Tebow and Joiner are gay, I just think the Gators are! Ha! So what if Joiner gave Tebow a kiss on the cheek! Guys do silly things like that all the time to express joy and excitement. Yes, even straight guys. Truth is that not many people out there really know what it's like to score a touchdown and the rush you get from it. When you're involved in a team oriented sport like football you get really close to your teammates. Not gay close, but dependency close. You work your asses off together for months to obtain that one goal. To Win! So, Joiner got really excited and he loves his teammate, so he felt the need to kiss him on the cheek. Big Deal! Guys kiss their dads on the cheek, why not their teammates? Maybe this will replace the high five and the everloving smack on the ass! Keep your head up green, TN is not done yet!
did anybody else think it
did anybody else think it was weird that the announcers had to describe Tebow and Joiner by their race?
i thought the same thing, as
i thought the same thing, as if 1. we couldn't see that for ourselves, and 2. it was unusual for people of different races to be friends

OH MY GOD Tebow and Joiner
OH MY GOD Tebow and Joiner are so cute.
They're just so cute. Guys should do that all the time.
End of story.
Freeeeeebiiiesss
iii love freebies.....
Thankers.... now lets see if thoes come threw
O.B. !!
Yes!
Well, OBs are a German product, or have been until some big company bought it..
and it's what every woman who doesn't want to use a sanitary napkin (Binde) uses in Germany. So she is without napking (ohne Binde = OB).
But more importantly without applicator. Once my local drugstore was out of OBs and I needed to by some Tampax and it was a scary experience! Then I heard that in the USA and other countries they don't have OBs. So when I went there I made sure to take plenty of them with me.
Over here we made fun of course, of those prudish Americans who are afraid of touching themselves. Applicators! This was a cultural shock.
Toxic Shock Syndrom
We are not afraid to touching ourselves.And what that has to do with inserting a tampon I don't know.Anyway, a few years back there was an outbreak of Toxic Shock Syndrome that was found to be the result of prolonged internal exposure to certain catalyst. So it was advised to not touch a product that would be left in the body for a prolonged period of time. Those femnine hygiene products like OB require that you touch it possibily with unclean hands to insert it.I guess you guys that don't live in the US didn't recieve that alert.
I'm sure if you google it you can read up on it.

TSS
Doesn't matter if you use an applicator or not. You can get it if the tampon is left inside your body for too long.
"We are not afraid to touching ourselves.And what that has to do with inserting a tampon I don't know."
Well, applicator or no applicator. I don't know what's not to understand.
I get the impression that you somehow took offense by my statement. That wasn't my purpose. I only wanted to joke about the ridiculousness of applicators. And point out some cultural differences. I am certain that not every US American woman is afraid of touching herself. Especially not a lesbian. But since you guys often assume that German ladies don't shave their armpits (I have seen and heard it numerous of times!) I think we have a free ticket to make fun of American prudishness once. So there :P
And of course that is a rude generalization. I realize that. Generalizations make for good jokes, though.
t.g.i.t.
i can't wait to carry my free cookie around in my free plastic case. thanks, green!
