Interesting Website

I don't spend all that much time trolling the internet but I did find, www.chickipedia.com. A sister site, holytaco.com is linked to chickipedia and worth a visit as well.

I highly recommend both. Don't get disappointed at your own miserable life, instead recognize that while there are many many really hot women in the world and they too are likely crazy.

Bluetooth as Jewelry

This has become an epidemic. I now see people wearing these things everywhere; restaurants, malls, movie theaters, sporting events, etc. etc.

Today I sat in a 2 1/2 hour business meeting during which a guy wore his earpiece the whole time.

First of all, you look like a total tool!

Second, when you take a call on your bluetooth, everyone will hear your idiotic conversation. This is worse for us than you. You may think the conversation is so important that you need to take it in public but it sounds trivial, self-important and downright stupid to us. If your call is important, it should probably be private.

Third, those things look kinda cool in a gadgety way but by no means do they substitute for jewelry. You do not look, cool, rich, important or celebrity-ish. It is not, 'bling.' Stop it!

Fourth, I have to believe that somewhere down the line you will suffer some health issue for having that technology so close to your brain for so long.

Fifth, you look like a total tool!

They are a great invention designed for cellphone usage in the car. Use them while driving, keep them in the car. Simple.

Jewelry?

The starting pitcher for the NY Yankees in Game 5 of the 2009 World Series is wearing a 'necklace' that is a cross between a dog leash and a dog toy. Seriously, this is a rope necklace that looks like its made out of 1,000 strands of black & white kite string braided together. This is absolutely one of those things we'll see on tape in 2012 and say, WTF is that guy wearing around his neck?

This guy is scheduled to make $16.5m in 2009. I'm estimating the necklace cost $7.50.

Wait, I just did the research. These things are called, Phiten necklaces. They are laced with titanium, regulate the body's blood flow and "help alleviate discomfort, speed recovery and counteract fatigue. Athletes find that they tire less easily and recover faster from intense physical activity." according to the Phiten website. They cost $73.00.

Ridiculous. It got me thinking about all-time idiotic jewelry worn by men. Here they are, in no particular order with a quick comment

-gold chain necklaces - ALL

-gold link bracelets (really all gold bracelets)

-copper bracelet for golfers

-rope bracelet - shrinking type you wore as a kid in the summertime

-earrings - any and all types for all men over 25

-any class ring beyond 5 years after graduation

-actually, rings that are not wedding bands

-outsized watches

-pooka shells - seriously?
