A five foot tall weiner sculpture? Wouldnt that look lovely in the den.

Every now and then i have to think " just what the F*** did i type into my search engine that got me here?" Anyway if you ask me whoever this chink used as a model for her statue needs to see a doctor , it shouldnt be that swollen.





PETERBOROUGH --

Q: What is pink, weighs 72 lbs., is 5-foot-2 tall, 3-feet in diameter, got the bounce from eBay, and is likely the largest of its kind in the world?



A: The penis in Jo Mann's kitchen.




It is covered in a sheet, as it is on most days, a flesh-coloured sheath, to be exact -- "just in case the grandkids come through."


"It cuts down on the explaining," says Jo Mann.


Jo Mann is an artist. The huge manhood edifice in her kitchen, which took her four months to sculpt -- plaster of Paris, garden hose, vacuum hose (think of veins), and lots of duct tape -- was created for the 2006 International AIDS Conference in Toronto.



It comes, in fact, with its own condom, its packaging being an artfully-painted box that once held an extra large pizza.

Why Vh1 Sucks and the Top 50 Awesomely bad songs according to them

This past Wednesday i posted on baddrink.com my usual batch of odd links from around the net and Vh1's list of top 50 awesomely bad songs kinda pissed me off. I looked up the videos for each of these songs and if you can go down the list and not have sung along with at least one of them then you cant be human. Sure they aren't the most awesome but they are cool in their own way. Lets start down the list and ill start from number one and go to fifty just to be a little different..



1. we built this city ( starship )


I would bet this was probably one of the first if not the first video that VH1 ever played , those trators, where is their loyalty? Well Vh1 you can kiss my ass and stay out of my city , you know my city i built on Rock n Roll bitch! This song rules





2. achy breaky heart (Billy Ray Cyrus)


Im betting people are thinking VH1 nailed this one but nope i disagree , the songs hokey but at the same time Billy Ray Cyrus had people line dancing to this all over the country. About thirty seconds into the song you feel its powers as you start singing along with it admit it.

3. everybody have fun tonight ( Wang Chung )


Find me somebody that doesn't have the overwhelming urge to say " every body Wang Chung tonight" when somebody else says "every body have fun tonight" and ill show you someone who has lived in a cave for the past 20 years. I admit the video makes me almost go into epileptic seizures but hey its worth the sacrificed to Wang Chung tonight.




4. Rollin' (Limp Bizkit )


Certainly not the most memorable songs in this list but we all know the "I keep rollin rollin rollin" ,part

Ahh the genny cream ale bounty



Doesn't it look wonderful in the Midge ( also known as the man fridge ) just ignore the two wine coolers there left over from the wife. Some may ask "wheres the food?" thats what our other fridge is for,that way you dont have to worry about that pesky food getting in the way of your alcohol storage. Sure there are cooler ways to store your brew out there but ill take my midge anyday. Anyway i couldnt wait to try one so ill have to admit i stuck some of them in a bag in the fridge at work to chill that way id have some cold ones to start with. Alas one of these fine cream ale soldiers went down on the drive home, i couldn't wait.



Did it tastes as good as i remember you ask? Well yes and no, it doesn't taste just like cream soda like i remember it but it does have that nice creamy froth to it like cream soda does. With my first glass i was taken back in time to that faithful day grandma began my journey as a beer drinker. Who ever said you cant go back was wrong, a few genny cream ales and i felt like a kid again. Theres only one problem now and that securing a steady supply of cream ale.

The Quest for Genny cream ale part 2



I got the call last night my coworker didn't forget me ,the genesee cream ale was almost within tasting distance. He had a hard time tracking it down , plenty of genesee light and straight genesee but cream ale seemed to be in short supply. Luckily after going to a few different stores he tracked down two twelve packs , the last two they had. The night he found it he had to try one , of course he figured he would try to convince me cases up there come in groups of 23. Before he left to come home he stopped at the local IGA and there it was low and behold a Genny cream ale 30 pack. Im picturing a ray of sunshine landing on it , with the sounds of angels singing in the background but maybe im embellishing it in my mind.


Last night i dreamt of swimming in a see of genesee cream ale froth as it flowed from the tap of a giant keg. This morning i get into work and he tells me he left it at home he would get it at lunch time that way im not tempted to crack one open before lunch.( Who is he to decide when my alcoholism should begin?) Lunchtime is almost over now and im sitting here patiently waiting for tonight i have a date with Genny.

The quest for Genny cream ale




Some people associate their childhood memories of going to see grandma with things like fresh baked cookies and getting their cheeks pinched, not me i think of genesee cream ale. If you live in upstate Ohio or any where in Pennsylvania and you've ever drank a beer your familiar with Genesee cream ale. If you dont live there then you've probably never heard of it but its the cream of the crop when it comes to cheap beer in that area. Every year we went to grandma's house a ten hour drive with me in the back of the station wagon with a ton of room to move around on the way there. On the way back i was squished between cases of genesee cream ale as my dad stockpiled his yearly stash. I slept with my head on a case of brew and my feet on another like some sort of drunken kiddy bootlegger, i grew to hate that beer over the years.



Every year that beer squished me and my hatred for that green can grew until the day of my fondest memory of visiting my grandmother .The time she let me have my first beer!!!! I was eleven or twelve years old at the time and it all started with her letting me have a sip .From there it went to me bugging the hell out of my mother until i got my very own can. I remember my grandmother saying " just go ahead and give it to him , its one beer it wont hurt, we drank it as babies in the old country". Holding that green glistening can in my hand was better then Christmas for me , i couldn't believe it i had my very own can of beer! The can even had one of those old pull tops which made it even seem more mysterious to me , more adult. Holding that frosty green can in my hand made me an adult that can now made me a man! As i remember it the taste was like cream soda, with each sip of brew the years of hatred towards it washed away. I was in heaven with my first beer, funny how all my fondest memories involve beer isnt it, i guess those memories are what made me what i am today. Maybe i can be a good father and recreate the same memory's for my kids.



The next year we visited my grand mother the first words out of my mouth where "dont we need to go to the state store and get some genesee cream ale?". A whole year had passed since my first sip so i was jonesing for another, it was all i could think about. Grandma was more then willing to give me the beer i wanted so much and now thinking back it was probably her way of getting me to fall asleep. A few years later grandma passed away so no more summer trips to PA. As the years went by the thought of that first beer and grandma faded to the back of my mind.



I hadnt thought about genesee cream ale or grandma in years until a coworker brought up his first memory of his first brew with his dad. So now its been over 20 years since ive had any genesee cream ale and my thirst grows every day. Luckily the same coworker that brought it up just happens to have been traveling to upstate Ohio this weekend to visit family. I sent him with a 20 spot stapled to a printout of the genesee label with the words "buy me" written on it. Hopefully tomorrow evening ill once again have my genny cream ale in my hands. Friday i got to thinking about the brew so bad i went out to the local liquor/party store in hopes of finding any cream ale at all. The only thing they had where little kings cream ale so i bought em, an eight pack of 7 oz bottles for around five bucks. Not a bad price but i wondered why the small seven ounce bottles? After the first sip i could tell why the small sized bottles. Has anyone ever tried piss mixed with beer? I would say little kings come real close to that combo, hopefully my memory of genny cream ale isnt that tainted.

America's wounded puppy syndrome and Thriller

Most if not everybody on the net has seen this video of Filipino inmates performing Michael jacksons thriller video.







Well a couple of days ago i woke up to some morning talk show , i think it was good morning America and they had some guy discussing this video. He did the usual blah blah shit about how many people have seen the video and how it quickly became viral on the net but he went on about how these where prison inmates. How many of them had been awaiting trial for years and how some where there for their political beliefs and how maybe this video will raise awareness for their plight.


Give me a break! Can we as Americans not see anything we don't need to save? Seriously is it possible for the media to see anything and not turn it into so sort of wounded stray puppy on the side of the road we need to rescue? Why is it that every time we find something that seems innocent and makes us laugh the media has to look for a darker side or how we need to help these poor people. Ive got a news flash for the media, we have innocent people in our jails too, we have people awaiting trials as well, we also have people imprisoned for their political beliefs thanks to the patriot act. So just why the hell do we need to look elsewhere? Sure spending my days in a jail making remakes of Michael Jackson videos, and scenes from sister act is pretty close to what i would consider hell being like and it does seem like cruel and unusual punishment. But these guys all look pretty healthy to me, none of them seem to be starving in prison camps or anything. Maybe its just me but im thinking these guys are a little low on the list of people we need to rescue.

I dont want to come across racist or anything like that im just saying if we have to go on a rescue mission maybe we should prioritize people. Lets see , people in our own country by default go to the top of the list, those who are trying to help themselves go next on the list. Countries where some leader is dressing up and playing Hitler and committing genocide go pretty high up there too. People who live in places where nothing grows that complain they are starving go on the bottom of the list. Throw all the rest in the middle of the list and make sure to exclude people who dont want help , you know the ones we tell how " we are bringing you freedom" and then they shoot at us.
