<li>An awkward arm massage from you 60-something dentist is not reassuring</li>
<li>Apparently a case of water is an acceptable parting gift for a guy to give you when you break up with him</li>
<li>It is possible to crave wine and milk but they shouldn&#8217;t be consumed together </li>
<li>Hammering crabs is a great way to get rid of stress &#8211; so is hula hooping</li>
<li>Always bring a purse with a zipper when going crabbing &#8211; otherwise you may find little crabbie carcasses in your bag days later &#8211; and they probably wont smell great</li>
<li>When your teeth hurt only when you bite down on them, and as a result you constantly bite down more, it may mean you&#8217;re into pain? I don&#8217;t know.  </li>
<li><a href="http://twitter.com/michaelianblack">Michael Ian Black</a> is a funny mother f*cker</li>
<li>Traveling to a different state you <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPHU5gA8oP8">punch your friend in the jeans</a> is a good idea <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </li>
<li>Not all of your friends will understand a slight obsession with odd <a href="http://www.slashfood.com/2009/04/24/meat-business-cards/">meat promotional items </a>and <a href="http://www.baconnaise.com/">condiments </a>-  but they should!</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A piece of advice.  For those days when youre frustrated with your coworkers, follow these steps and youre sure to feel stress free within an hour.</p>
<p>1. Gather pictures of your coworkers, and print them on label paper and cut them out</p>
<p>2. Grab your closest coworkers who feel your frustration</p>
<p>3. Go to your nearest crab restaurant &#8211; not Red Lobster style &#8211; but where they dump the crabs on your table and you hammer out the meat</p>
<p>4. Place the sticker faces on your crab</p>
<p>5. Wack away!</p>
<p>6. Repeat 4 and 5 until stress free</p>
<p>* adding pitchers of beer is encouraged.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since my most beloved possession is my awesome 3G iPhone, Im very excited about the prospect of iPhone 3.0 having video.  At first I thought it would be useful for video chatting with friends, or using while traveling.  I now realize there are so many more possibilities, such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>Taping they guy I walked past on the sidewalk who was doing a headstand on a busy street, while making his legs dance in the air</li>
<li>Video taping the homeless guy on the street who has turned the phrase &#8220;I am human, I am not a savage&#8221; into a fun song</li>
<li>Tape people in traffic who are grooming while driving &#8211; such as intensive nose picking and plucking one&#8217;s facial hair &#8211; or just rocking out to a good (or bad) song</li>
<li>Taking random, unexpected hot videos of the inside of my purse</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After a few drinks at happy hour, we decided to play a trick on a coworker &#8211; sending him up to the bar to order an assbomb shot.  Im pretty sure this doesn&#8217;t exist &#8211; and that was the point.  However, this got us tipsy girls thinking &#8230; what would be in an assbomb shot if it did exist?  While no consensus could be reached, we did decide that it would have to include one key ingredient &#8211; ground beef (this was my brilliance, really).  I realize most people think this sounds gross but I started thinking, if you can have blue cheese stuffed in olives for martinis, why couldn&#8217;t you incorporate other savory items into a cocktail?  After searching and polling, I have had no luck finding such a drink.  But I will find or come up with one &#8211; and it may even include grease on the rim for extra measure.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After much international travel, I am happy to be back in the US &#8212; and we have a new president!!  I did, however, learn a few things during my travels:</p>
<p>1. Constant spitting is apparently acceptable in China &#8211; and not in a cute &#8220;Im Leo DiCaprio teaching Kate Winslet&#8221; kinda way</p>
<p>2. During the winter, you will not be served dog without your knowledge as it is a delicacy during the cold months to keep up circulation (good to know!)</p>
<p>3. The phrase &#8220;yes we can&#8221; can be used in almost any situation &#8211; choosing options at buffets, deciding whether to sleep or party, sex, when communists tell you to go slower on the Great Wall mountain luge, bargaining at markets, and SO much more!</p>
<p>4. You can get a blow job shot at a bar in almost any country &#8211; its universal</p>
<p>5. Eagle thrones are VERY cool</p>
<p>6. Rhino heads in bars are also VERY cool</p>
<p>7. Never position yourself behind a male coworker&#8217;s ass when he has to bend over to get out of a boat &#8211; especially if he&#8217;s wearing tight suit pants</p>
<p>8. Its always a good idea to bring your own toilet paper when traveling outside of the western world &#8212; the ability to hold it for hours or days is even better</p>
<p>9. Dont forget to keep the one slice of pizza for every 5 glasses of wine ratio &#8211; at a minimum</p>
<p>10. Its always fun to make up songs for your chairman to sing &#8211; such as P.I.M.P. or the tootsie roll song</p>
<p>11. Everyone needs a little shelf by the toilet with a phone illustration to tell you where to put  your phone while peeing &#8212; why didnt we think of that in this country?  So many iphones would be saved the fate of the drunken toilet drop</p>
<p>12. Learning how to say &#8220;well, at least we&#8217;re still the world&#8217;s superpower and you&#8217;re not&#8221; in any language is helpful and would make you feel better to rude cab drivers.  So would something like &#8220;you&#8217;re walmart&#8217;s bitch.&#8221;  Just saying &#8230;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So once you get to a certain age (late twenties-early thirties), your relatives suddenly think that any family gathering is the opportunity to ask the dreaded questions: &#8220;so, why arent you married yet?&#8221; or &#8220;when are you going to have kids?&#8221; or &#8220;when are you going to have another kid?&#8221; &#8212; depending on your situation.  Now, you can give any of the standard responses &#8211; focussed on career, havent met the right person, etc., but these answers only mean that you will be asked the same exact question at the next family function.</p>
<p>My friends and I were pondering this annoying reality the other day and came up with some alternative answers that may make grandma think twice before asking again:</p>
<p>Question: &#8220;So why arent you married/in a relationship yet?&#8221;</p>
<p>Answer: &#8220;For some reason, all of my Johns just dont seem interested in anything beyond leaving money on the nightstand before they leave.&#8221;</p>
<p>Question: &#8220;So when are you having a kid/another kid?&#8221;</p>
<p>Answer: &#8220;Since my husband is impotent, Ive been trying to have as much unprotected sex with strangers as possible, but all Ive gotten so far is [insert favorite STD here].&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I witnessed an interesting thing on the bus this morning.  I was reading my paper and suddenly overheard the woman across from me in a full bus yelling into her cell phone with a Comcast bill in her hand.  Now, as someone who spent what I would consider to be a long-term abusive relationship with the cable company, I could understand her frustration.  She was promised the waiving of her set up fee and it had shown up on her bill, and multiple promises to have it removed had proven to be lies and her account was now delinquent as a result (yes, I learned that much).</p>
<p>I should note that as a general courtesy, I try not to talk on the phone on the bus, unless its short and sweet, no one is on there, or I am drunk &#8211; hey it happens.  But she was full on yelling at Mr. Comcast customer service, using the usual indignant white anti-customer service terms such as &#8220;completely unacceptable&#8221; and &#8220;I&#8217;m the customer&#8221; and &#8220;utterly outrageous&#8221;.</p>
<p>This is where I lost her.  She then proceeded to give Mr. Comcast her Visa number, expiration date, and that silly 3 digit number on the back &#8211; with no regard for the fact that this may be private information.  She didn&#8217;t whisper it, or keep her voice down.  She yelled it across the bus.  I was tempted to pretend text someone and note the info &#8211; perhaps she could pay for my Comcast too since I also hate giving money to those idiots.</p>
<p>After insisting confirmation numbers, repeating the amount charged back to her and Mr. Comcast having to promise 7 times that Mr. Comcast Manager would call her later, she hung up the phone and loudly proclaimed how Comcast was ridiculous and had no business sense.  Because announcing your credit card number to 40 people on the bus makes so much business sense!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I realize everyone is freaking out about Barack picking Biden. I was too until I realized what had really happened. Barack sent out a text at 3am today announcing his pick. Now let&#8217;s think about who sends texts at 3am on a Friday night: DRUNK PEOPLE!!! Barack was obviously drinking it up last night and one of his bros triple dog dared him to txt everyone about Biden. As soon as Barack wakes up, eats a breakfast sandwich from Mcdonalds, and has a moment to remember what he&#8217;s done, he&#8217;ll clear it up. It&#8217;s ok b, we&#8217;ve all done the drunken 3am text. </p>
