There's a web site called Hoot Island that I was recently pointed to. It has a really remarkable variety of silly sex articles -- like a story about finding sex toys in the road, a demonstration of difference in romantic points of view, and something I've considered before but not written up about how people should stop saying "sucks".

And it contains a very large number of lovely phrases like "She's 8" tall and will make you the envy of every bobble head collector. I'll give you a few moments to appreciate how pathetic that sounds."

Oh! And they like Asia Carrera too! Having read their interview with her, I have a new favorite quote by her:

"I don't watch pornos! What do I look like, some kind of sicko?"

the linguistics of sucking is something that i have also thought about from time to time. the thing is, there are no appropriate words left to express how really really bad things sometimes are. there are obviously similarities here to expressions like fucked up, fuck [whomever] and fucked over, which shouldn't really be used to describe bad things.

and then, on the other hand, there are the politically incorrect things to say...bad things can't be gay, lame, retarded, etc, because using those words that way makes them bad things too by association. there are a few colorful descriptive terms that are inarguably bad to begin with such as sick, but most of them already mean good for some strange warped reason.

so what are we left with? that was very, very bad and unpleasant...accurate, almost concise, and sort of boring.
