Check The Manual (Transmission): Stick Shift Cars Going Away

"The reasons for this situation are many. First, driver’s education classes simply aren’t teaching students how to drive a manual. We spoke with Eric Tunell at the Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving, perhaps the most well-known and highly regarded performance driving schools in the country, to get his perspective.

“With the teen drivers who attend our programs, their family car doesn’t have a manual transmission, so they don’t need to learn,” he explained. “We also find that parents are mainly concerned with the safety of their teen driver and a manual is one more thing to distract them from focusing on driving.”

That is not to say that none of the teens who attend Bondurant classes are uninterested in the art of self-shifting. “A significant number really want to know the ins and outs of driving a manual transmission,” Tunell said. “What we emphasize at Bondurant is that ultimately it’s not about the car; it’s about the driver. Getting them training over and above what a basic driver’s ed course offers is essential.”

Another reason is fuel economy. In the past, manual transmissions got better fuel economy than automatics. Improvements in automatic transmission design, however, has helped them equal the fuel economy numbers of manuals, or at least come very close."

Cursing Like A Sailor Taken To A Whole New Level . . . . .

Cursing Female Navy Captain Booted From Ship

"In a blow to the public image of women in senior military positions, a female Navy captain was removed from command of a destroyer after an inspector general investigation found that she verbally and physically assaulted crew members and forced subordinates to walk her dog and entertain at a personal party.

Capt. Holly Graf's tenure in charge of the guided missile cruiser Cowpens included numerous cases of belittling crew members in a manner that apparently shocked even hardened sailors used to foul-mouthed ship behavior, according to investigators. "What are you, f******* stupid?" was apparently a regular Graf refrain.

The report, which substantiated several of the claims made against Graf, brought an end to her time on the ship. The military newspaper Stars & Stripes reported Graf's removal in January for abusive behavior, citing the inspector general report, which had not been publicly released at the time."

Some Very Real And Very Crazy Laws That Are Valid . . . . .

10 Laws that to Anyone’s Disbelief Are Actually Laws

1. In Bahrain, a male doctor may legally examine a woman’s genitals, but is prohibited from looking directly at them during the examination. He may only see their reflection in a mirror.

I’m sure in Bahrain people are very very healthy these days. Are you kidding me? I mean that’s taking the whole “please cough” to new heights. I’m sure they’re extremely dependent on that.

2. Muslims are banned from looking at the genitals of a corpse. This also applies to undertakers. The sex organs of the deceased must be covered with a brick or piece of wood at all times.

I wasn’t aware that genital watching of dead people was such a big problem. I guess I underestimated the Muslims.

3. The penalty for masturbation in Indonesia is decapitation.

I refuse to believe this law is true. I officially refuse to believe this.

4. There are men in Guam whose full-time job is to travel the countryside and deflower young virgins, who pay them for the privilege of having sex for the first time. Reason: under Guam law, it is expressly forbidden for virgins to marry.

Best. Job. Ever.

5. In Hong Kong, a betrayed wife is legally allowed to kill her adulterous husband, but may only do so with her bare hands. The husband’s illicit lover, on the other hand, may be killed in any manner desired.

I guess it’s only fair. If you have the skills to pull it off, kill the bastard. I mean using a weapon, what’s the fun in that? But you might as well use a bazooka on the bitch that he slept with.

6. Topless saleswomen are legal in Liverpool, England – but only in tropical fish stores.

Well I mean sure, as long as it’s fish. Now I know my first tourist stop when I get to Liverpool.

7. In Cali, Colombia, a woman may only have sex with her husband, and the first time this happens, her mother must be in the room to witness the act.

This has crazy porn movie written all over it.

8. In Santa Cruz, Bolivia, it is illegal for a man to have sex with a woman and her daughter at the same time.

Well that’s just plain sad isn’t it? I figured this was happening on a daily basis over there.

9. In Lebanon, men are legally allowed to do things with animals that I just don’t want to write about here, however the animals must be female. Having a bit of ‘hows your father’ with a male animal is punishable by death.

Beastiality. Yuck.

10. In Maryland, USA it is illegal to sell condoms from vending machines with one exception: Prophylactics may be dispensed from a vending machine only ‘in places where alcoholic beverages are sold for consumption on the premises.’

Hahahaha. America Rules.

How To Properly Handle A One Night Stand . . . . .



1 Don’t acknowledge you don’t know her name

You just finished having the most amazing sex of your life and you realize you don’t even know her name. Danielle? Jessie? Thomas? Don’t ruin the moment by admitting you forgot her name. Combine hot, sexy, stuff, thing, and baby in any order to create a personalized and unforgettable nickname.

2 Don’t exchange information in the morning

So you’re leaving in the morning and you feel bad saying “see you probably never.” Instead of asking for her number and giving her the false impression you’ll call, locate the nearest exit and whisper goodbye before she’s even awake. If you feel guilty just leaving, tell her you’re married, and this can’t ever happen again.

3 Don’t go to brunch

Just because conversation flowed in bed (“harder,” “faster,” “I said donkey was my safe word”) doesn’t mean it will go as well over breakfast. Sitting at a restaurant trying to make small talk will only emphasize that you’re actually strangers. However if you’re feeling chivalrous, be a gentleman, and leave her a few dollars to grab herself an Egg McMuffin.

4 Go back to her place

It’s incredibly important that you make every effort to end the night in her bed. It’s much harder to come up with an excuse to leave early in the morning when you’re already in your own apartment. A foolproof way to guarantee that you end up back at her place is to tell her she’s welcome to come home with you as long as she doesn’t meeting your parents and sleeping in your bunk bed.

5 Keep it Casual

No matter how many ways you did it, a one-night stand is not an appropriate time to begin discussing personal matters. Don’t extend beyond small talk about the weather and the time of day. If you exchange career information or last names, things have gone too far, and odds are high you’re going to end up with a serious girlfriend.

6 Don’t do anything weird in bed

On one hand you’ll never see her again. On the other hand she might just be a sex blogger who will share all the weird details, as well as your full name. Try your hardest to keep it normal by refraining from pulling out your collapsible whip and inflatable sex doll.

7 Use Protection

Nothing turns a one-night stand into a shotgun wedding faster than an unplanned pregnancy. The last thing you want to do is spend all your hard-earned money on paternity tests and child support. Pulling out only works in red states where condoms aren’t sold without a prescription.

I Have Personally Met 4 Out Of The 5 Girls On This List . . . .



Girl on Her Cell Phone

“OMG! I can’t believe he said that!” Multitasking is a glorious thing – truly a hallmark of our modern age. And yet, the ability of this girl to simultaneously order a drink, have a cursory conversation with a random frat dude attempting to hit on her, and catch up on the latest girl talk on her cell phone over the din of drunk people chanting the chorus to “Living on a Prayer” is still amazing to behold.

This girl has such super-human abilities to communicate that if you married her your kids would most likely be telepathic, an ability sure to be an improvement over the cell phone for communicating the miniutia of one’s sex life. But good luck even attempting to start a conversation with her. She and her iPhone – with its nearly endless stream of mindless babble being delivered straight to her cerebral cortex 23 hours a day – are getting along just fine.

“Can You Take Our Picture?” Girl

This girl will make you her personal Paparazzi in her quest to document every random Thursday night she’s spent getting drunk at Awful Al’s with her nine BFFs. Although you look like a chump being Mr. Amateur Photographer, you’ll say yes to her request to take a picture of her and her friends on the outside chance one of them will have sex with you (they won’t).

Of the 983 tagged photos of her on Facebook, 800 or so feature prominently placed alcoholic beverages. This is to show everyone she was Out Having Fun. Don’t worry about telling this girl to smile (if you can even get her beer-soaked camera to operate). She’s got her own Kissy Guido Face/Gangsta Hand Sign/MySpace Emo look down to a science.

Fake Lesbians

Like Pavlovian dogs that can’t stop salivating at the sound of a bell, or moths drawn to a flame, most guys are simply unable to tear themselves away from the site of two girls getting all Sapphic. Say what you will about Joe Francis, but no one can deny that we have him to thank for the potential of any random bar night turning into a Girls Gone Wild commercial. Of course, it’s all just for show, and the sexual equivalent of Fool’s Mate in chess – even an ugly girl can significantly up her attraction potential simply by making out with another girl in a public venue. But still, for most guys, this Never. Gets. Old.

Can’t Shut Up About Semester Abroad Girl

She just came back from Amsterdam. Or Italy. Or Thailand. And now she wants to tell you ALL about it. These stories almost never live up to their potential, mostly because what Americans do abroad isn’t really that interesting. They eat. They drink. They “find themselves” via a passionate fling with a sexy foreign stranger. The whole abroad experience is a grand adventure that doesn’t vary much from person to person. If you can stand to hear a truncated version of the plot of Eat, Pray Love, then maybe this girl is for you, otherwise, stay away.

The Mom

Also known as the CockBlocker, the Mom hasn’t had sex in months, and is here to make sure her friends don’t either. The Mom carries herself with a matronly air (hence her name) and is frequently seen saying “We have to go!” as she pulls her friends off of you.

The Mom is a hard one to win over, as she lives to be the wet blanket. But it’s always the repressed ones that suddenly act like they are on the set of an Andre 3000 video when they do decide to finally let go, so it may be worth the time you expend to convince her to come over to the dark side and have a little fun instead of being the chaperone.

Like These Are Really The 5 Best Ways . . . . .



1) Have me fantasizing about you all day long

Just because I’m not with you, that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t be thinking about you! Coming home to the prospect of nice sex just won’t cut it. You need to get me fantasizing from morning til night – no matter where I am. If I’m sitting in a psychology class, you and sex are the last things on my mind. Until, that is, a naughty but incredibly sexy picture pops up on the screen of my phone and suddenly, I can’t avoid thinking about you. And sex. And me and you having sex…match these pics with a few saucy text messages and you’ll have me sprung the whole day through!

2) Feed me!

Hungry girls are not happy girls. Being wined and dined is a luxury for me and one that I often associate with romance, lust and high expectations. Whether you cook for me yourself or take me to a nice restaurant, there’s no overestimating how special a nice dinner can make a girl feel. Add a few glasses of wine to the mix and I’ll really begin to feel the burn of desire. A romantic meal adds a sense of elegance to the evening – something that many girls need in order to truly feel right about having sex.

3) Touch me

So we’ve eaten dinner and now we’re chilling out on the couch, drinking wine, eating a luscious strawberry and chocolate dessert and watching the sexy chick flicks you’ve so selflessly picked out for us (these are the sacrifices that must be made boys!). Now as a post-pubescent adult, you are savvy enough to know better than to throw yourself mercilessly at me right this second while I’m still getting past a brief meltdown about how much gym-time that indulgent meal is going to cost me while simultaneously trying to work out how the movie-love-triangle will untangle itself to everyone’s satisfaction. It still isn’t the time for sex, but you also don’t want to risk losing the mood – one spoonful of chocolate too much and I’m ready for bed. What you need to do now is to remind me where the night is headed and there is only one way to keep this momentum going: physical contact. Start at my knee and gentle graze your hand along my thigh until I’m tingling, and once again I can’t avoid thinking about sex. Brush my hair away from my face and tenderly stroke my neck. If I lean over, reach out and touch the base of my back – just for a moment. The tingles of delight should now be running through my entire body and although I still may not be ready for action right now, my body will already be responding to your touch, thereby sizing itself up for what is to come.

4) Massage me

Many guys are reluctant to reach this point of intimacy, simply because it’s not part of the average dinner-movie-sex combo. But a guy that is willing to break away from what he knows in order to satisfy each intricate fiber of my body – that is the guy that I am going to give up all my inhibitions for in the bedroom. The truth is that sexual stimulation can be achieved in many many different ways and a guy using his strong hands to release the tension in my bones is one way to seriously rile me up. I mean, when am I going to more in the mood to have sex with you than right after you’ve just rubbed my naked body from head to toe, both relaxing and stimulating me to the utter extreme? So for one night, just put your ego aside and go for it. The other guys will never have to know that you became my slave for a little while one night – and if they ever do find out, just explain to them what I did for you right after!

5) Bring some toys

Durex is a wonderful brand, filled with diversity and choice. So next time you’re out shopping for the big night, invest in more than just flavored condoms (although definitely do still invest in those!). Lubes, vibrators, rings…these are among just some of the play things that can spice up even the most exciting sex. There’s a whole line of toys devoted to Sex in the Shower here. My favorite girlie girl sex gels, toys and seductives come from Pure Romance (Check them out here at www.PureRomance.com). I love using these sex enhancers and I love it even more when my guy takes the initiative to surprise me with them. Of course, this all depends on how comfortable we are with each other. First date? Maybe hold off on the toys until you get a feel for her sex-style – some girls may not be thrilled about introducing gadgets to the mix. But sometimes after a while, new toys are needed to keep the momentum going, even if the sex is just as amazing as always. Don’t forget that fantasies are important too – find out what I’ve always wanted and make it happen for me, even if it means wearing a stupid costume or playing a role. Sex should always be a new experience and you should be willing to do whatever it takes to keep me wanting more. Handcuffs? Spanking? A bunny rabbit outfit? Find out what I want from you and fulfill me.
