    At least check that, yes, they really would prefer your icy cold hands of doom.

    Or your ice water. Spritz, spritz!! That’s gotta get you excited. :-)

  • Hard News: Women and their representations, in reply to Russell Brown,

    In the original the end of the sentence was “standing up”. Or “lying down”. One of those, anyway.

    I ran the generator a few times and the phrase "grasp the tennis ball" appeared frequently. Also the door-knob. Which is good advice if you're one of that percentage of men who likes to walk in the door.

    I guess the more arcane they make the advice, the more you think you need it. Do any of these Cosmo articles suggest talking to your partner about what you each like, before everybody starts grasping in figures-of-eight and spraying ice water?

    Jezebel on Cosmo’s 44 most ridiculous sex tips for ladies.

    OK I fed some of these into the travesty generator and the output was about as intelligible as the input:

    "Hold his penis in one hand and honey or whipped cream [in the dark]. Not being too gentle Take his head as the numbers are a fun way to wake up his nerves Firmly hold the encounter... you can tap it with ice water next to the base Alternate between swiveling both wrists in one hand and stroking your hands upward, twisting your vibrator is out of batteries Wear a cinnamon buns increases men's blood flow 'down there When he's good and hard, whisper something in his penis through the skin on his shaft between you need. When he's good and stroking your vibrator is out of batteries Wear a cinnamon buns increases men's blood flow 'down there When he's good and stroking your open palms and slowly push it towards the nerves Firmly hold the encounter... Aim for the top of the head begins, then move your pocket and touch his head several times 34 percent of guys say they walk in the door Fifty-six percent of guys say they walk in the door Fifty-six percent of unmarried men prefer receiving head."

    Dammit, next time I will firmly hold the encounter! I knew I was doing something wrong....

  • Hard News: Media7 will soon be Media3, in reply to Geoff Lealand,

    but didn’t see any Sky

    Hmm. Sorry to hear that. Network outage? ;-)

    I once saw an amazing sky on a cloudy day driving from Ohau to Tekapo, approaching Lake Pukaki from the South -- the underside of the clouds over Pukaki were a rich turquoise from the reflected light.

    I somehow neglected to take a photo, which I regret!

    ETA: navigators in the high latitudes have sometimes used reflections on clouds for navigation, known as water sky and ice blink. Cool, huh?

  • Hard News: Women and their representations, in reply to Jolisa,

    women didn’t “produce”

    I’m told that women in charge of continuity in movies (now often credited as Script Supervisors) were formerly known as Script Girls .
