repeat after me, folks - global warming means *crazy ass weather*. Record snow is not normal, record snow after an otherwise weird winter doubly so.

I don't know what scares me more, the prospect of a really awful out-of-season storm, or these folks who have anti-reality glasses permanently strapped to their foreheads.

I realize that I'm not supposed to understand Connelly, and I can't really make it though any of his "columns" but why are these hallucinations cast under the guise of visits to [or by?] the British Museum?

For a while he continued to produce his Neue Rheinische Zeitung in the form of a monthly review (Hamburg, 1850), later he withdrew into the British Museum and worked through the immense and as yet for the most part unexamined library there for all that it contained on political economy.

Score! Thanks, Phillip Norelco, on behalf of gay men everywhere. If frat boys are all nice and clean down there, when they get drunk and seduced by gay men, it'll be way more appealing.

Josh @2:

I think this is Connolly's rather unsubtle dig at Seattle's aspirations to be a "World Class City", which in his warped mind apparently means we're really just latent Anglophiles.

You know, I just don't mind hairy balls all that much and "visual" inches mean nothing to me when a guys dick is someplace I can't actually see it. I'm just sayin.

The other thing is... I used to groom the boys and the day of and the day after things felt pretty nice. But on day three it felt like I had crabs. Then there's the ingrown hairs, stubble, the extra 20 minutes of prep time... is it really worth it? I think not.

welcome to the world of a woman! I know guys want us to be well groomed, but every day? there's no way I can do it without ending up with a bunch of ingrown hairs and razor burn. And waxing is just too painful/expensive to keep up with. *sigh* If only it were like the 70s where everyone was hairy and nobody seemed to mind...

Re: Shave everywhere

I found the Philips Norelco site a few months ago and thought it was hilarious. The actor playing "Gary" did a great job deadpanning the serious subject of shaving his b--ls and a-s while adding an "optical inch" to his c--k.

I keep up with the weekly manscaping myself, and hell I might buy one of those things when my current shaver wears out.

One thing I don't get though is why people think that it's homophobic. Aren't straight guys nervous about grooming in general? Several of the straight guys I got with in college were groomers. Oh, right.

I'm a straight guy and took to shaving the naughty bits years before "Queer Eye" out of simple aesthetic preference. And yeah, the fact that it makes my dangly bits look all the bigger is a point in its favor.

If I hear another dumbass flat-earth "climate-change skeptic" point out how record snowfall somewhere is proof that global warming isn't happening I swear I will have an apoplexy.

These storms are so bad because the great lakes are warmer than ususal this year. So there's more moisture in the air, and storm systems are sucking it up, building strength like hurricanes do over the Carribean. This year, we can blame it on an el nino pattern, but more of this is coming if global warmin continues unabated.

Record snowfall like this is predicted by the global warming data.

@1, @11 - global warming is short for "massive extreme global temperature variations" - as you put more energy in the system it starts oscillating like crazy. Plus the polar ice melts. Just ask our glaciers (half are totally melted now).
