why are there so many President Hairpiece ads these days?
And why would anyone think Donald Trump, or his toupee, could be president.
I'd like to see Ivanka Trump as President.
In light of recent energy political drama ... I figured this was a good opportunity to toss up some classic comedy regarding US energy independance ...
http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/wed-june-16-2010/an-energy-independent-future
You can't help but laugh and realize how hollow the whole 40 year old BS "energy independance" charade really is

EUROPE NEARING BRAKEUP!!
FRANCE WANTS TO CANCEL THE SCHENGEN AGREEMENT!!
The Schengen is a agreement that all people in the EU may go anywhere they want.
The reason is: IMMIGRANTS FROM WITHIN EUROPE, and they want to stop them.
http://www.tijd.be/nieuws/politiek_-_economie_europa/Frankrijk_overweegt_tijdelijke_schorsing_Schengen.9048955-3140.art
This is the basics of the EU.
This is good for silver, bad for the euro.
WOW, France canceling Schengen would indeed be big news. Would that mean passport checks and changing trains at every border?
If you haven't got a bug-out bag, it might be about time to think about it...

Supply-side economics is about to go the way of the VHS tape.
No more pro-gress eh Quixotic? I say bring it on. Enough pro-gress and look where it has got us. Progressive dystopia.
Demand-side functioning, like nature.... self-correcting, positive feedback loops.

Bug out to WHERE? Some say within six months, some say the Big Top comes down next year. As for me... I'm diggin in.
BTW Pliskin... I thought you were dead.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgHZubM7M-I
Well, looks like you're diggin' in, so you don't have to worry about "where?", and if you didn't already know the "where?", I doubt a bug-out bag would do you much good anyways...
Yeah. You and everybody else...
I said where only because I’ve heard a number of people (in the physical world) over time, talk about buggin out. No put down or anything but some of the ones confident about getting out of an urban area under a number of crash scenarios were unrealistic i.e. -had not really thought it out. (IMO) Elements of the Federal Gov and military are already putting in infrastructure to lock down many urban areas. So I think there’s a decent chance you may not even be able to get out to another location because of that and other possibilities such as fuel shortages or road obstructions. But I agree, the concept of having a bug out bag/ flexible strategy for all scenarios is correct… Even if you plan on digging in.
On the humor side -I spent most of the last summer traveling some of the most sparsely populated and remote areas of Northwestern California. In one pretty isolated local in a mountain river area (about three hours drive from a north coast city) I met some people who told me the local Indians (yeah they’re up there) see people from the city come up into the forest, ever so often and bury stuff. Well, the Indians up there know when a leaf falls, so when the city boys leave they go dig it back up. And as I understand, the local Indians have quite a supply of freeze dried food!
who then promptly sell it on e-bay ;)
Google news results for all you non-power users ... I only speak english so I had to shop around for subject matter ...
This appears to be driven by an exodus of warm bodies from North Africa to Europe ...

Life is.. good. The universe is...
Seems like yesterday silver was $15.
Gas is $4 on its way to $10.
Two kids, how am I gonna get rid of the SUV?
Freedom's April Newsletter: http://thevictoryreport.org/2011/04/21/david-freedcom-april-2011-client-letter/

Yeah well if the suv is in good condition, keep it.
Bernanke speech from 2006 on the importance of price stability. Very interesting stuff, talks about all the relevant topics.
http://bayesianheresy.blogspot.com/2007/08/you-tube-of-day-chairman-bern...
The only price stability from here forth will be what an ounce of Ag/Au will buy.
I can't wait to see paper rich leeches screaming from the corner that they've been had!
ROFLMAO ;-)
Life is good......While I'm super happy silver and PMs are up, it is why their up that bothers me and will ruin most Americans lives.
Gas going over $6.00 doesn't excite me. Bambi telling us he's watching. What a Joke. $2.00 too late. Market manipulation !?!
And Japan !!! WTF Fukushima is radiating the oceans, our life line as a species. Why the hell do the market manipulators keep bidding up the price of Japanese stocks now. Sony has been crippled. Toyota is screwed, and the economy of Japan will take a hit. And they have not even had a 20% correction that lasted a week. I have expressed this before and I say it again. The Giant Squid and all their manipulating hedge fund buddies know one thing. Where the largest bet is, right or wrong, and manipulate the market in the opposite direction. That market manipulating software GS warned us about is working well. The only reason they have not destroyed the PMs is because the elite of the world know fiat is fiat and they have all lost faith in paper. Thoughts...............
"Gas going over $6.00"...
We'll be lucky, at the rate the shit is hitting the fan in the former USofA, if gasoline stops at $20 a gallon...
And no, I'm not fucking kidding!
Good luck patriots -- The rest can fuck off and die.
You know, that's what scares me, the fact that they can take it up to $20 a gallon. I can here it now.
CNBC will say, it's all about demand or...... as they are already talking about: drum roll: not Driving Season, but Hurricane Season. Has anybody ever said, GREED.
All the good little apparatchiks, who don't drive cars and ride publik transportation, will say "It's those crazy peoples' fault for living in areas where they need gasoline, those damn global warming tea baggers"!
"GREED" is good if you're politically correct and live in the big city - For all the rest, they are lucky DHS hasn't rounded them up to be put in re-edukation kamps!
Camps, gosh that's scary. You should hear the rumors about FEMA and their new hotel amenities. Coffins for all.
I'm sure the porno-addicted Facebook Twits will just love it when all those dangerous gun-toting terrorists (fka American Patriots and/or Tea Party Crazies) will be the very special guests of FEMA/DHS in the near future...
I'm also more than certain that the Ministry for Homeland Security has their guest list near fait accompli, and countless scores of Richard Clements-esque journalists frothing at the pen, ready to fabricate stories to spin how millions of disappearances were in the best interests of We the Sheeple ;-)
DHS Stasi operatives get extra bennies, don't ya know? ;-)

Japan is being jawboned higher in order to create an exit point for the longs. (My opinion, anyway.)
A lack in supply increases prices. There is a lack of gold, silver, and oil, not to mention production of goods and services from the island state.
Aren't we being told there is plenty of oil right now. Even CNBC said, that oil is everywhere. Now Cash, the Bernanke, is sloshing around trying to find a home. Speculation indeed. And if one wants to talk about our under priced silvery stuff. Ground supplies are dwindling while real demand is esculating. Poor Man's Gold is starting to shine on.
Some great facts on silver production from Max Keiser. 12% of silver used for electronics in 2003, 45% today.

Wrong!
What happens here is that all the dictatorships in Northern Africa helped (for money) fend of illegal immigrants. Now that some of the dictatorships are gone, Italy is again flooded with people setting over by boat.
Problem is that Italy has to deal with this alone. No one wants the illegals, so of course the other EU countries don't take any of them. But as Italy is more and more pissed about the situation, they pulled a nice trick to increase the preasure on the others. They gave each of the illegal immigrants temporary visas which means they can now freely travel in the Europe. Idea being that those guys are now moving to the richer Germany, France, Netherlands and the like.
So now the other EU countries have to react. They can no longer ignore the problems Italy is having. Frances move is just a last attempt to still look away.

This is a GROSS misrepresentation of FACTS.
Did you even care to read the article . . . .did you understand what was said ?
I guess not.
The article clearly states that France is considering to temporarily suspend the Schengen agreement to cap the float of immigrants from TUNIS and LIBYA.
WTF Dude, this is just plain crap you are spreading!

Nah, I reckon the euro will pull through.
Sarko, quel con!

This is also short term political bullshit. Just noise to confuse the confusable.
.
mmm...makes sense. I read that Europe is expecting over 300,000 refugees (unskilled, different langauge and different culture) to flee to Europe mainly via Italy and Soiuthern France.
Their main destination goal is the wealthy country of Germany according to the report. I remember reading reading about how the Roam Empire fell....influx of thousands of "barbarians" ..some invited...lots not.
Another piece of the oil puzzle is this: Goldman downgraded oil and commodities about 1 week ago and it barely dipped at all, then 2-3 days later it was right back up, NEXT, only a few days later, Obama comes out crying and pinning blame on speculators. So how in Obama's pocket is GS and vise versa? Goldman did the same shit for Bush right before an election by reducing unleaded gas in it's commodotoes fund forcing everyone else to sell to stay in line. They're all pricks and I can't wait for this shit to fall apart.
oh yeah, I forgot about all the obvious gas price manipulations to lower prices around election time
Energy independence sounds great, but we also like driving and having an incredible standard of living. The entire modern world is dependent upon oil. Nothing can replace the 20 million or so barrels of oil per day we Americans use. Nothing can even come close to replacing it. There are alternatives for some of the things it does, but they cannot come close to entirely replacing it. If oil isn't required to make something, it's used to get it somewhere. Each tire on your car has about 7 gallons of oil in it. The amount of energy that oil releases is incredible compared to the amount of energy other fuels release. There's a reason Henry Ford didn't use ethanol.
Our economic model, like most modern economic models, is based on eternal growth of population and consumption. To do that in the modern world requires oil.
If we eliminated entitlements (actually never instituted them) and allowed natural selection to do its work, population and growth would be moderated. That sounds mean, though. You know, making people responsible for their own lives and decisions isn't popular with liberals. They don't believe in private charity because most of their causes are not worthy of charity. So, instead we've taken the path towards idiocracy. We've taken the path that allows a massive population buildup and then requires a massive dying off as resources for maintaining that population become scarce, whether it be by famine, war, gas chambers, or whatever has yet to be determined. I'm not calling for people to be killed, mind you.
If I were the President, I couldn't sign legislation that stopped meals to kids or anything like that. I couldn't sign legislation that would simply deny seniors health care to let them die off. So, it's not as simple to make massive spending cuts as it sounds. But, if those promises had never been made, people wouldn't have had a false sense of security that everything would be taken care of for them. They would have been responsible and saved and preapared on their own, at least the smart ones would have.
Of course, this was inevitable. Throughout history, great civilizations have risen up in their various areas, grown massive in population and thus consumption, therefore overusing their resources, and then collapsed. We've (by we I mean humans) have done that on a global scale for the first time in history. And, the only reason that has been possible is oil. The planet couldn't support anywhere near 7 billion people without oil. (See the part about carrying capacity: http://www.paulchefurka.ca/Population.html)
Just reducing per capita consumption won't work, either. You would just see a proportional increase in consumption somewhere else. That's why cap and trade is about wealth redistribution and nothing more. Population has to be 'reduced' to curb over-consumption. Whether the governments and elites go all medieval on us and forcibly reduce it or whether societal collapse takes us back to days where we aren't so dominant over Mother Nature and She reduces it for us has yet to be seen.
The 2009 movie "Collapse" is interesting.
This professor does a good job explaining what our problems really come down to:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-QA2rkpBSY
Oil production and the Oil Age is just a blip in timeline of human beings. It's not even noteworthy on the timeline of time. It's an incredible time. Just enjoy it while you can. Death is just another beginning. It seems so many people are so afraid to die that it stops them from living. But, I ask: who has lived more? The rock star who dies at 27 from a heroin overdose? or the 80 year old who saved and saved working the same office job for fifty years?
Sage words.
Nice post.
The world was sustainable until coal and then oil. I would note that the only option after oil is nuclear unless things are dramatically scaled down (as you imply). Modern lifestyle requires enormous amounts of energy per capita and that is the central issue.
Sustainable renewables require far, far less population that we presently have. And I don't mean windfarms, I am talking moving back to animal labor, wood heat, and the whole amnish type "sustainable renewable" to bring things back into balance. But I am also talking about "humanity" being able to maintain itself in the long term, not just 50 years or 100 years where most people focus.
At some point, when the real costs of oil based everything gets too unbearable, interestates and then highways will be electrified. Transportation will eventually become electric in most cases (ICE for rural applications, farming, and such). I don't know on what timeline, but it is not a technology problem. We had electric transportation systems 100 years ago. Right now the business/political system is paralyzed in regards to any meaningful progress.
I honestly don't think this will happen until a real energy shortage is upon us, which makes it very difficult to source the energy required for the eventual build out.
That is why I posted that Jon Stewart link, because it makes it so obvious we are going to drive off a cliff before making common sense technology changes in energy policy.

So many different ways to break their economic plaything here, CDS, CDO , CDO squareds, buying mortgage shit shovelers, backdoor shorting of long clients, a bald MERS assumption of our notaries, lobbyist open staffing of reform writing "representatives" offices.
Anyways, its quite easy to fix.
Just repeal, undo, and unglue, ourselves, from both "Modernization" Acts created by Sen. Phil Gramm-TX, in 1999 and 2000. That's when all this new mischief started!!!
The Commodity Futures Modernization Act, and the Financial Services Modernization Act (aka Gramm-Leech-Bliley Act) of 1999. Allows for obscene derivative manipulation of energy markets (Enron Loophole). Will stop the absurd CDS 600 Trillion notional...Restore the Glass-Stegall...
I will keep posting this until it sinks in.
Mister Ambassador, after reading your words I could swear that we have met somewhere before. =) You obviously get it. Too bad you aren't our real ambassador to the U. N. or something. I almost junked you anyway when you used the word "liberal" in vain. But I'll let that slide. Nice to see another from the land of the awake.
Not bad CC however I find this propaganda pitch a bit more disturbing since anthropogenic CO2 effecting global temperature change is probably the greatest single loot the world fraud ever perpetrated on the masses and yet idiots who believe this crap will go to any length to make you believe their nature worshiping bullshit.

Indeed. Quite nice.
Did you know that in Greenwich CT if you leave your 10 carat diamond ring in the penny tray, on the kitchen counter, and it gets stolen, you are considered "the victim" similar to a rape victim? Yes, its true. Your identity is protected because, well, getting larcenized of your 10 carat ring, worth $270,000 is the same as being forceably penetrated by a big bl.., well you get the picture. And if the alleged thief is trailor park Julie Jane, and she's dating the "victim's son", well, junior is known as the "victim's son". Oh, and the address where the alleged crime occured, the victim's "midcountry home" (that's code for mansion on ten acres). Here's the story. It's real:

I'd like to see her tits
I'd like to see Ivanka Trump naked.
You got that right! :-)
Why Trump?
Simple. He has been through bankruptcy a handful of times, but always seems to come out on top. This country is bankrupt and needs some serious restructuring. The hairpiece is visible enough that the popculture drunk mongoloids know who he is. And in the spirit of treating politics and our countrys future like a reality show, the low grade imbeciles will no doubt elect him. Plus he's really good at scapegoating China for all our problems and doesn't mention the REAL issue. The Fed and the banksters stealing generations of wealth.
If only his ratings were higher, he'd be a shoe-in. And if he did make it in, would he continue his reality show from the West Wing?
The West Wing? What? The Celebrity Attacker? Bring a country in and tell them: "You're invaded!".
Don't forget the reason for the corporation in the first place.
Donald Trump the man has not gone through personal bankruptcy, his companies did.
Corporations were the ultimate shell game ever invented, until they figured out how to merge corporations and government informally.
Let's not forget... Trump has cleaned out more rich investors than Obama ever will even with four more years.

Why would anyone think that anyone could be President?
I was in Arizona a few years ago and bought a baseball cap. Printed on it:
When I was a child, I was told
that ANYONE, could become
President...NOW I
BELIEVE IT!!!
Hope that answers your question!! Milestones
I could be a better President, but there would be a lot more dead bad guys (girls); stateside and overseas - don't know that we have the stomach for it.
Must be what happened to the Greeks and the Romans...got lazy and soft...and it was done for them to their loss in the end.
Killing people is highly over-rated.
I'll take your word for it.
My primary thought was hangings for treason; after trials by miltary tribunal.
Central Bankers go first; then Wall Street CEO's, then Politicians, then Judges.
Would you rather have a telOprompter than a toupee?
I would rather have a mentally disabled chimpanzee with a chronic masturbation problem than MaObama. Trump would be another self-serving puppet of the globalists.
I don't care about Ds or Rs anymore. I want someone with principals that will slay the Fucking creature from Jekyl island. Kucinich or Paul, but the establishment sluts wont let that happen. Last time we had a real president and he went after the Fed, his brains saw the light of day.
As a recovering neocon tha has lost faith in party and country, I am thankful I still have faith in God... otherwise it'd be adios mutha fuckers.

If we had as many people dedicated to the 10th Amendment as we do the 2nd and demanded the repeal of the 17th Amendment we wouldn't be having these problems.
Start a write in campaign for some oldphart out in the desert. Carry it to facebook, vote none of the above and for some random dumb-asss citizen.
Can't possibly be any worse than what we've seen over the last 40 years.
Congrats on the recovery. I've gone thru the same type of transformation from the flip side of the aisle (my belief system died back in 2004), Kucinich and Paul seem like the only ones that stand on principle. I now question whether the US military has been just built up to kill Americans who try to stand up against the corporatist/globalist state ... Presidents just get rid of military generals who are not yes men.
Go ahead and shit on me, but after you finish, consider the elites violent reaction to Sarah Palin. I do appreciate your reservations, and they are valid.
Also consider the contrast between the orgasmic 'tingle up my leg' obamma whoreship VS the all out nuclear assault on the T.P. and Sarah. It really was something to behold and a great tell in my opinion.
There's no "monolithic" group of elites. There are lots of competing factions.
It doesn't really make sense to say "the elites" have a violent reaction to Sarah Palin. She was a veep candidate. What the hell are "elites" if they don't include the majority party apparatchiks?
I agree that the 'elites' are correctly defined as more than one set. I do believe that you likely have sects that compete. The more dominate and succesful 'family' (oh how perverted that is!) has been hitting the jackpot for about 25 years. They placed their bets on Carter, stopped out, and purchased Congress as a hedge against Reagan.
The hedge included H.W.B.
The rest is history. The Satanic movement has grown 'progressively' more wealthy just as the 'progressive' movement (communist, satanic) has continued to grow even more bold in its desire to flip humanity the finger. We are just pawns my love. This is a bigger game and it is about ego.
That is your basic rundown dear.
Well oooookay, then. Sounds like you've got it all wrapped up. I'm going to leave you very much alone now.
Well ooooooookay then your ass to the dumpster. Get your history on tool.
Nothing has changed and just because the 'oh so special' you happens to be alive and thinking it is all good changes nothing. You like the one minute window?
Stay with it then and hope you play it well.
Timelines.
Trump is a perfect "personality" for the next puppet for many reasons..
1) His experience in saying "Your Fired" on the Apprentice would look really good in his Presidential run commercials, telling Congress "Your Fired."
2) Trumps cut troat business tactics fits well with the globalists style. "lets take Libya's oiul fields to help pay for their freedom" Trumps, recent quote is very similiar to that of Halburtons, "Lets blow it up, and pay ourselves to build it back tomorrow.
3) Trumps has the expereince of getting every bank in the world to loan him money, then when he is unable to pay them back, forces them to renegogiate all the terms to Trumps liking. "Art of The Deal" by Trump. America is in the same position, and maybe that is the strategy taken on by the globalists, and what better actor/puppet than Donald Trump.
Karl Rove is about to blow his wade over
Trump/Palin ticket for 2012.

You're Welcome
Because no one pays attention
http://www.npr.org/2011/04/15/135442942/even-without-symptoms-genital-he...
FLATOW: And this new research that was published this week showing that a lot of people could have genital herpes and do have it and have no idea they have, have it, because they don't have the symptoms...
Dr. LEONE: Exactly. I mean, what's striking is that we've known this for quite a while and yet we haven't been able to get any traction - we being folks in public health - to get both clinicians and the general public to understand that this is a widely prevalent infection, and that indeed most of the folks do not recognize that they're infected.
So if you look at the numbers, about 17 percent of adults - and that's individuals between the ages of 14 and 49 years of age - have genital herpes due to HSV-2 in the United States.
Eighty-five percent of those folks don't know they're infected.
FLATOW: Wow.
Dr. LEONE: Yeah. I agree.
...
Dr. LEONE: I am. I think ELISA should be made available to folks who want to know. And only to backtrack for a second - we talked about 17 percent of adults being infected in the United States, but this idea is sort of like, well, it's for other folks who get it. And there isn't great correlation in terms of the number of sexual partners and what your risk is, in addition because this is a lifelong infection. As the population ages up, the overall percentage of folks infected increases as well because there's no cure.
So if you look at some population-based data in the United States and look at unmarried adults, meaning folks between the ages of 45 and 50, for women, we know the prevalence rate for genital herpes due to HSV-2 is between 50 and 70 percent. So we're looking at close to the majority or the majority of folks in that age group who are single having genital herpes. So...
FLATOW: Let me go over that number again because you're saying that - it's hard to believe - you're saying that for women between the age of 40 and 50...
Dr. LEONE: Right.
FLATOW: ... unmarried women?
Dr. LEONE: Yes, unmarried women.
FLATOW: You're saying that between 50 and 75 percent of them have herpes type 2?
Dr. LEONE: That's exactly right. Yeah.
FLATOW: Wow.
Dr. LEONE: I know. It causes me to pause. I read the article about five times myself, saying, wow, and I do this for a living.
Take a high dose of Red Marine Algae for one month straight and you are cured , oops sorry I just gave away a natural cure is that illegal , well bring it on FDA say goodbye to herpes
Nice guys, good work discussing a topic that otherwise wouldn't get talked about. Ah, the wealth and diversity of ZH...
BTW - at the risk of giving up my best low-cost source of silver, I have found of late that I can consistently pick up 2002-2006 silver proof sets right about at spot on ebay. Pretty regularly I have been getting $1.85 face of proof silver in those sets for $55-57 with shipping. I have picked up about a dozen in the past few days, I think it's because the qty of silver in the set isn't detailed in the heading is why is slips by relatively cheap.
I also have a local shop (Gaithersburg Coin in MD) that sells 10 oz bars for $.85 over spot. On ebay those same NTR bars are selling for 15%+ premium.
Gaithersburg Coin - Bought PMs there years ago. Really, really liked it. If nothing has changed, I highly recommend.
Interesting! More information please? (a link would be nice)
I think we need to share more on cheap sources of Ag as we start going parabolic.
My dad gave me a tip from back in the Hunt Bros. era... He would take a scale to antique malls, estate sales, flea markets, etc., and look for sterling wares.
Look for "sterling, .925, or .950" Most people still don't realize what Ag is worth, or will be worth in very short order. Most refiners will pay 60%-80% of melt value for the silver. Personally I think its better to learn how to smelt it youself, and a pretty fun hobby.

"Investors need to diversify, they need to own some real estate, they need to own some farmland, they need to own some equities, some cash, and some precious metals..." Marc Faber —Investment analyst
Got farmland outside your home country yet?

Faber's basic idea is great but do you really think Panama? Honduras? Etc? are safer then some prime farmland here in the States?
Faber comes with his very own security forces, would have to be layered in loyalty. No problem for him. Rogers in Thailand samie-samie.

I find life currently to never be dull, especially when you are in the dog house with your wife cause she found out you were looking at nude photo's of other women.
/sigh

lol, thanks for the laugh.
You might suggest to her, as a perspective check, how much worse she would be upset if she found you looking at photo's of nude men. ;)
Really'll piss 'em off with nude pics of their own daughter.
I've known women who claimed they would rather lose their husband to another man than to another woman. It is not so ego-deflating to lose ones husband to another man.
Women need to adjust their thinking to "she's doing me a favor."
If you can sell this one, you should consider a career as a bankster.
if she blew you more you wouldn't bother looking at the pics
For your sake , I hope someone else took the pics .
here, this will help.

"up yours" is a mudder, anyone could see that.
OK, it's Easter. Any of you bazillionaires out there wanna donate some loot? Send a kid to private school? I'm serious. Mom and kid were living in a Norwalk CT homeless shelter and her van, lost her job, and all that. Well, mom enrolls the kid in Norwalk public schools kindergarten and she used a friend's address in Norwalk, even though she was living there anyway. Well she gets arrested for that and is facing 20 years in jail and the little kid gets kicked out of the Norwalk public schools.

So this is what Eric Holder has been working on!
U are some...
Holder, well, he's been working on pr0n, since it took him more than a year+ to do the obvious. Evidently, there were no "Rich" folk around to arrange pardons for.

gitmo b the cleanest play -- whoever figured it out deserves our undying gratituded.
Who knows what Holder is working on? Competition w/Boehner on crying?

Ok, who let Rusty back in....damn baby gates....
/jk, don't get your skidmarks in a twist
Uh oh, not good. Now if it was some male actor star and he got caught cheating on his wife with whores, then most all women find that to be OK.
LOL
Yeah, as long as he is hot.
Dude... you should have worked that shit out on the front end... your wife would probably enjoy living in a world of lollypops, puppy dogs, ice cream, sweatpants, and where "judging" is not allowed... in this fantasy world, sex with you is not included... so, you need to make a simple arrangement with her... if she doesn't want to put out, then you can at least have recourse with your left hand to keep your mouse hand free. Best of luck.
And if she still won't grant access to her honeycomb hideout, I suggest going long on Astroglide.
I guess you could always try and hit the ever moving target commonly referred to as "romantic"... [translation from woman speak: some wasteful and asinine action that allows us to justify or refuse sex with you so that we either: (a) don't look like cheap whores; or (b) can refuse sex without using the headache excuse]
BB, you should tell her that this viewing of nudes made you appreciate her body all the more.
"Wife"? What's that? Sounds expensive.
Expensive at any price.
So is a car, but I like to ride them :)
Beware of mad potatoes...
Incognito window in chrome dude...made to surf porn with a woman in the house. Never again will "bang bus" get auto-filled when your wife starts to type "baby clothes".
heh, I lol'd. That made my day
Thanks for the laugh. Great one, made the afternoon.
Thanks for all the tips guys, feels good to laugh about it now, wasn't funny this morning. Well at least she forgave me already.
Suuuuure she did.
Going jewelry shopping soon?
If she is going shopping, ask her to pick up the latest copy of Penthouse...
It may be too late for you to condition her now, but it could be worth a shot. Run porn on the PC everyday, in front of her whatever. Time to start making her sub-conscious think it is "normal" for men to do it, perfectly healthy.
I got my wife used to it when she had "girlfriend" status, now it's a non-event for her to see female nudity on the PC.....
They NEVER forget. It just lays there stewing like a backed up sewer. Then, one day...
