Why Bunnies?

Saw this, um, thing, this morning and I'm not quite sure how to respond to it.

I guess my first question is, "Why?"

The company does try and explain its usefulness to me, but this is something more aimed at the Japanese schoolgirl crowd than, say, oh....anyone else.

Of course, me being me, I was reminded of a recent article I read in Wired on teledildonics.

Ok, I can die now....

I think I can die now.

"Ok, Lex, I'll bite...why can you die now?" one might ask.

Because, dear reader, I now can say, with relative certainty, that I've seen it all.

"What, oh what, can you mean, Lex?"

This link sums it all up.

Sweet peace, take me now!

Hot Hot Hot

Yeah, I thought I'd bust in and break up the moment of silence I've been having for, oh, a month now (!) and gritch about how hot it's been here in sunny Oklahoma as of late.

The picture below shows the inside of my SUV when I went to start it up the other day.



Roads are starting to buckle, there's extreme fire danger, EMS is getting worn out saving people with heat-related problems. Basically, it's yucky and makes you want to do nothing except stay inside and watch the telly. Going to the pool isn't even any fun. Who the hell wants to take of 80% of their clothes off in heat like this? I'm already a walking cancer billboard for 'He who should not venture out into the sun'.

I really can't wait to see the aftermath of all of this. I'm talking about my electric bill, here, folks. I see myself having to take out a second mortgage on the house just to pay for this past month.

Oh, but hey, some good news.

A cold front is coming through tomorrow. No lie. The weatherman said so.

It's only going to be 95 tomorrow.

The interesting thing about that is 95 is still 15 degrees cooler than it will be today.

Stay cool,
