The Land Down Under
Title: “Fifty Shades of Grey: Book One of the Fifty Shades Trilogy”
Author: E L James
Rank: 1
Blurb: “When the couple embarks on a daring, passionately physical affair, Ana discovers Christian Grey’s secrets and explores her own dark desires.”
Review: “The sex — it wasn’t hot at all. I wouldn’t even classify it as erotic. For some strange reason I have the opinion that you need to be able to refer to your vagina as something more erotic than ‘down there’ before you can pull off a significant hotness rating.”

Footnote: John Stossel’s book (#99) was too boring to deal with.

Sounds more like an ad for a feminine hygiene product.
How’s Laura’s psycho killer kid doin’?
@ManchuCandidate: Like the iPad?
/lust we can believe in/
I can’t believe that I just discovered Australian rugby star David Pocock. In addition to being one helluva rugby player, the 5’11”, 220 pound (dude is built like a freakin superhero!) Mr. Pocock is an outspoken supporter of gay rights.
While he is married to a woman (sorry, fellas), he enjoys swimming in the tiniest speedos imaginable (thank you, Google), and sexing the pants clean off Youtube viewers with his Aussie accent.
@karen marie has her eyes tight shut: I know! David Pleasecock would be far more appropriate.
The wording of this post has caused the hottest SnorgTee girl yet to pop up in the ad … thanks nojo!
How many ways can we emasculate Pete this episode?
@nojo: I’m not sure which is hotter, Don the handyman or Don the scold.
@mellbell: Note to self: Learn plumbing.
Lane is one tough SOB. Never underestimate a man who learned by the Marquis of Queensbury rules. Not to say that Pete didn’t deserve that beating.
@nojo:
It’s about the only household thing I can do well. Carpentry… meh. Lawn care… hahahahaha. Electrical work… sorry but I can only work with low voltage DC anything more than 60V AC, forget it (and I’m an electrical engineer–computer gnome not power jockey.)
@ManchuCandidate: Know who’s even tougher than Lane? Joan.
@ManchuCandidate: Hey gals! Who wants to watch me code this website? Look how I can navigate multidimensional nested arrays with my bare hands!
Hmmm… doesn’t seem to be working…
@nojo:
It does work if you live in the universe of The Big Bang Theory TV show, but otherwise, not really.
Of course, if your idea makes bajillions… then yeah.
@ManchuCandidate: Ah.
Hey gals! Who wants to watch me code this website? Look how I can navigate multidimensional nested arrays with my bare hands! I’m Mark Zuckerberg!
Fixed.
Shorthand for MM tonight: Women make the rules, men break them, Don takes a stand. Ken is cooler than we thought. And holy crap, those sport coats – MAD magazine was dead fucking on about the mid-60s.
I called the ___ and ___ ___ at the end, btw. I was making touchdown signs in my chair. I knew better than to spike my martini and do the Dirty Bird, however.
@nojo: Just settling in with the episode, and I know for a fact that Pete should have just changed the washer to fix that drip.

ADD: oh I see. Plot device.
In 66, we actually had a neighbor with an XKE. We of course had a Beetle.
Ode to Joy, dammit!
