I want to say big thanks to both Avitable for Saturday’s guest post and Jan for yesterday’s post. Avitable actually got me in a little trouble. Nothing major, of course, and thanks to one of my very graphic sex posts in April, I was prepared for such a contingency. I just need to remember on those rare occasions that someone decides to photoshop my head onto a guy getting fucked in the ass that I should remove the advertisements from that particular post.
Thanks to all of you for your support on me falling off the quitting wagon. I’ll be getting back on soon. Haven’t figured out when. I’m fucking stressed to the gills right now. I know, I know. No excuse. I know the stats. Most all smokers fail their first time quitting. I don’t feel good about it, but I’m proud as hell of Britt and guarantee you I won’t be smoking when I next see her. Which will be soon.
I’m loving the Famecrawler gig. It’s a great job and I get to show a side that I don’t often show here. The snarky ass bitchy side. OK, maybe I DO show it here often. Still, it’s not every day that I get called a misogynist like I did over at FC the other day. I really feel like I’ve made it now that I’ve gotten some negative comments.
I used the word “douchebaggery” in a headline and someone called me on it. Said that was dissing women because douches are feminine hygiene products, used to clean vaginas (who knew?) and they were NOT to be used in a negative way like that. Funny thing is, she misspelled misogynist. Heh. I may be a douchebag, but at least I know how to spell.
Then last night I got a little comment saying I took a cheap shot at Kim Kardashian for calling her a slut. It was a cheap shot. Doesn’t make it any less true, though. Not that there’s anything wrong with sluts, mind you. I just wouldn’t want my daughters acting like Kim Kardashian. Does that make me insane? I don’t think so.
So I’m firmly entrenched over there now, all snarks ahead. But I’m tired. Still learning the ropes, trying to get into a groove, maximize my time, all that shit. I was up until 5 in the morning last night. And here it is, 1:40 in the morning now.
By the way, if you happen to subscribe to the Famecrawler blog, I’d really appreciate it if you’d Digg on my stories. And Propel them. Whatever your favorite submission sites might be. The more hits I get on my stories, the better it is for me in my pocket.
Don’t forget, Thursday night is another episode of SecondHand Radio and I hope you’ll join me. I don’t quite know who my guest is because I lost track of days and forgot to line someone up. But I’ve got a few emails out and hope to hear later today. Keep your eyes on Twitter. Show time is 10pm Eastern Thursday night.
I totally forgot that Monday was my THREE YEAR BLOGIVERSARY! Go me.
And I’m late in announcing this, but there’s this calendar coming out called the Hot Blogger Calendar. It’d be awesome if you’d vote for me.
Doesn’t take long. I really think I should be on a calendar, don’t you? Especially THIS one.
And yeah, this is the final week of The Summer of Love. Only two more guest posts left. Tomorrow it’s my good friend, Cindy, who I’ve known longer than any other Internet friend. Saturday, it’s Winter. Then I’m back to the seven-day grind.

Kim Lardassian…total slut. And there’s a sex tape out there to prove it. How many times do you think the producers of Dancing with the Stars will try to get a crotch shot?
Congratulations on the gig. You’ll find your groove, kid. Be good to yourself, you know? Super important.
You will quit smoking, it’s a process.
I’m so voting for you!

Should we assume that your photo submission, should you end up winning, will be prepared specially by Avitable?
Trysha - Right?
Katie - Yay! Thanks.
Whall - Absolutely!
Just wanted to say a quick belated HAPPY BLOGIVERSARY!
I so enjoy reading you. I hope the next three are just as much fun
Well, we also need to do away with the phrase “c*ck sucker” and variations of “c*ck sucker.”
There are several reasons. The phrase is typically said during moments of anger, “You c*ck sucker!” or “Suck my c*ck, assh*le.” This surrounds the penis with a negative vibe.
If a woman continually finds herself being exposed to the phrase “c*ck sucker” (or “d*ck licker,” etc.) she’ll come to have, I think, a subliminal uneasyness about penises and recoil from them. (This, I know, isn’t always bad, you know if the recoil is followed by an encoil, but by then any penis uneasyness has typically been overcome.)
It’s sort of like Haggis. Very few of us have ever been around it, yet we know to stay away from it. Or *we think* we know. It may be lovely, but it’s gotten so much bad press over the years we avoid it. I think it might even be illegal to make in the United States. (It should be … right behind pipe bombs and bag pipes.)
In the same way Haggis has gotten bad press, to the point those of us who aren’t around it all that much avoid it, yelling things like “c*ck sucker” may create bad energy and a sense of “I should avoid those” among people (women) who don’t see them all the time.
Face it. Men think penises, well the penises of others, are so disgusting we have partitions between our urinals so we don’t have to see them. And we see our own penises all the time … we’re comfortable with them. As a matter of fact, we think our own penis is so lovely I’m puzzled over why the backs of urinals aren’t mirrored so we can enjoy the loveliness while we tinkle.
Women, despite the fact they could see one whenever they want, don’t see them as much as they could. And it might be due to the bad press penises get and the bad energy women associate with them. Things like calling people “c*ck sucker” don’t help.
Maybe you could start selling “Save the Penis” bumper stickers at the store.
(I could be wrong about the whole “women fear penises” thing. Maybe their perceived fear has more to do with picking a better restaurant to start the date off.)
I didn’t even realize you’d been writing for them so quickly - I need to add that to my feedreader.
Happy blogiversary! It’s been three years here, but you were writing an online journal for how long before this??
Holy shit! I almost peed myself when I read Delmer’s “save the penis” comment!
I’m so happy to hear that you are getting used to the celebrity dirt business! As much as I love reading it, I don’t make it my life, as some people do….hello insane commenters:)
When you decide you’re ready to quit, we’re here to support you! Happy Blogiversary!!
Congrats on the Famecrawler gig. And Happy Blogiversary. 3 years is a long time in the blogging world.
Elfenkate - Aw, you’re sweet. Thanks.
Delmer - Why aren’t YOU running for President?
Avitable - Yeah, I started Sunday.
Dave2 - Oh yeah, I’ve had other blogs. Been journaling online for over 13 years now.
Hello - I was cracking up, too. Thanks.
Marty - Yeah, it’s like 83 in dog years or something.
ok, dumb techie question from me. again!
if your famecrawler thing is in my reader, do you get “credit” for me seeing it or do i have to go to the site? coz for you, i’ll do it. just like i click on britt’s ads when i remember.
p.s. i am cracking up that some advertiser didn’t have a sense of humor about adam’s photoshopping skills. who was it?
Hello - I only get credit if you physically click on the link and go to the Famecrawler site. Thanks!
Douchebag is perfectly acceptable to use. Douches are horrible products, you don’t need to clean vaginas, they clean themselves so using the products just causes infections and bad bad things.
So the next time you get shit for it tell them a WOMAN with an actual vagina said those products suck donkey ass and you can use the word however you want.
At least that’s what I say when I get shit for using the word. But I do love to say it, I call everyone douchebags..it makes for a more interesting day.
Dear Karl,
My therapist said that this is a one-sided relationship and that, for my own emotional well being, I must put my foot down and tell you how I feel.
You bitch!
*I* joined the Quiteratti first. *I* am the one whose shoulder Britt is now covering in tears for her sweet, sweet nicotine after you left her high and dry. *I* actually stuck to the original quit date and you don’t eve MENTION me in your ever lovin’ blog?
Clearly you don’t love me the way I love you. I think I need some time. Some time to evaluate our relationship.
Ya. Okay. I’m over it.
TTYL!
What else were you supposed to say, “let the smell of a spring day begin?” That doesn’t pack the same punch.
Happy three years, man!
Put. The. Cigarettes. Down.
Hey, I mailed my papers in to CancerCare so you can’t get on my ass about that anymore!
That being said, I can totally nag you about quitting again. Should I call you when my head is in the toilet this weekend to remind you how lovely chemo is cuz lung cancer sucks.
I fell off the quitting wagon, too. It was my second shot. At least we tried! Someone told me it’s only bad if you stop trying.
As for Famecrawler — any attention is good, even negative. If people are pissed at you, at least you know a) they’re reading your stuff and b) more people will read your stuff, because their pissed off friends told them about your stuff. Keep your head up!
Happy Blogiversary! And I know you will get back on the wagon with the smoking thing. I mean, your kids want you to quit so I know you will eventually.
BTW, Delmer deserves some kinda award for that comment. He didn’t misspell c*ck either.
Sarah - Thank you. Good to know. Course, I’d still say it even if it wasn’t acceptable, but it means a lot to hear that from a woman.
TSM - Forgive me, for I have sinned. I totally owe you a nice long sensuous massage. You rock. I suck. My sucketh runneth overeth and shit.
Whit - Right? That’s all I’m sayin’.
Kapgar - Thanks, dude.
Lisa - Yes, ma’am. Glad you mailed in the papers. Hey, did you get my fucking postcard?
Elizabeth - Sorry to hear about your wagon, too. And I’m with you, negative pubicity is good publicity.
Winter - He DOES deserve an award. He rocks. And thank you.
Actually I was just excited to use the word vagina in a context that wasn’t about the reproductive process of mammals.
