| Study: Sexual harassment At U.S. colleges. »
January 23, 2006
Claim: Wal-Mart Can Make You ImpotentThey've tried everything else, why not this one?: Concerns also have been raised about noise and light pollution [from a proposed and challenged new Wal-Mart Super Store], including a much-discussed claim by Washington State University Professor James Krueger on Jan. 13 that light pollution could cause Pullman men to become impotent. He based the claim on research involving deer. Well, there's your problem with this study right there. The research involved deer. Of course this research showed male impotency. Who the hell wants to fuck a deer? I mean, yeah, okay, I'll admit it, I had a crush on Bambi's girlfriend Felina as a kid (almost as big as a crush as I had on the Zsa Zsa Gabor mouse from The Rescuers), but I'm older now, and I just don't find animals arousing anymore. Well, not as arousing. Zira from Planet of the Apes is always kind of cute. It always leads to the question: Would you rather have sex with a charming, intelligent ape-woman who was also a medical doctor, or a mute retard like Nova? Of course the answer is the latter. I didn't say it was an interesting question. Just a question. Sometimes there's just no good joke you can make, and you should probably just give up, rather than throwing a lot of lame crap at the wall. I know this in my head, but not in my heart.

CommentsI am sure your female readers can clue us in on what exactly made Howard the Duck so damn sexy. As for me, Jessica Rabbit. Mmmmm... Posted by: Mark on January 23, 2006 11:22 PM
is this one of those trick questions? Posted by: Dave in Texas on January 23, 2006 11:23 PM
The babes love me because I wear long shorts... if you know what I mean! Posted by: Howard T Duck on January 23, 2006 11:28 PM
Well, dat do explain why I always wears my suit when I goes shopping at the wal-mart. Iffen I's gonna be impotent..... Posted by: wiserbud on January 23, 2006 11:33 PM
You say mute as if it is a bad thing. Posted by: steve_in_hb on January 23, 2006 11:35 PM
Howard the Duck was sexy? Posted by: Daisy on January 23, 2006 11:36 PM

Your weekend's vacation seems to have rotted your brain, Ace... Posted by: someone on January 23, 2006 11:49 PM
here's a tough choice... Daphne (hot, but stuck-up) or Velma (not-so-hot, but very possibly lesbian) Hmmmmmmm......... Posted by: wiserbud on January 23, 2006 11:50 PM
Velma all the way - Daphne is probably a lazy lay. She'd just lay there and expect you to be thanking your lucky stars. Velma would put her back in to it. Posted by: steve_in_hb on January 23, 2006 11:53 PM
I got my undergrad degree in Pullman (class of 2003), and there was no impotence problem that I could see. There were, however, some astronomically high STD rates. Posted by: katie on January 23, 2006 11:54 PM
"...there was no impotence problem that I could see" What was your sample size? Posted by: steve_in_hb on January 23, 2006 11:57 PM
First they drive out the small businesses and then they make us impotent. Is there no end to their devious evil? I say as punishment for this final insult, Walmart should be required to provide us with hot babes until we are demonstrably fully recovered. It might take several babes. I'll take two before bedtime and check in tomorrow morning if I need more. Posted by: pendelton on January 24, 2006 12:15 AM
Wallmart gave me some serious oak last time I was there. Posted by: rd on January 24, 2006 12:25 AM
There was always something about Bugs Bunny in drag.....oh, shit. Did I say that out load? Posted by: The Johnson on January 24, 2006 12:38 AM
You said "load". Heh heh heh. Posted by: Sortelli on January 24, 2006 01:07 AM
It can certainly make you impatient. Nothing like waiting 2 hours for the conga line of 400 pound inbreds to shuffle past the one cash register out of 30 that they actually keep open nowadays. Posted by: scarshapedstar on January 24, 2006 04:19 AM
Why SSS, how very enlightened. Posted by: geoff on January 24, 2006 04:26 AM
steve, Touche, dude. But I based that comment mostly off stories from my (nine) roommates, as I was a giant nerd. But seriously, worrying about impotence in Pullman is like worrying about a drought when the rivers are overflowing. Posted by: katie on January 24, 2006 04:38 AM
What? Louisiana is a fat-ass state, and the local white trash are no exception. Posted by: scarshapedstar on January 24, 2006 05:02 AM
almost as big as a crush as I had on the Zsa Zsa Gabor mouse from The Rescuers Ah.... Bianca! *blush* Posted by: WunderKraut on January 24, 2006 07:26 AM
Since Wally World seems to be bending over backwards to accomodate all the naysayers at their new locations, we can expect the new Pullman store to be handing out v*agra, c*alis and l*vitra at the door. Posted by: rls on January 24, 2006 07:38 AM

I am sure that StarShapedScar is a better man than most - just ask him. Posted by: TheShadow on January 24, 2006 08:09 AM
Having rarely shopped at Wal-mart, I can't comment on impotence within the store. However, it is clear that no thug posting on this thread has ever been within miles of a Wal-Mart. Also, I'm glad I didn't read this mess of a thread last night. Nightmares and all. Posted by: KevlarChick on January 24, 2006 08:30 AM
This story just smacks of the entire "Islamic men hate the United States because we can make their penises fall off with a technology we call "pop music"" story. Oh... and for the record? Velma all the way. I've always had a thing for nerd girls. They're cute, smart, and generally a wildcat in bed. Posted by: on January 24, 2006 08:38 AM

Um, okay. Why did the server post my comment twice? Posted by: Xoxotl on January 24, 2006 08:40 AM
The lighting makes you limp because you get a good look at just how unattractive your fellow shoppers are. How the cellulite is visible through stretch pants, or how the slice above the belt needs a date with a razor. That'll take the starch out of anybody but a teenager. You guys never had to spend any time with Velma. Hey, if you can put up with the tedium and the man-bashing, give it hell. I had to be restrained from cold-cocking her after 20 minutes in the Mystery Machine. Posted by: spongeworthy on January 24, 2006 08:56 AM
Nothing a little powdered rhino horn can't fix Posted by: Scott on January 24, 2006 09:14 AM
Do I have to choose between Daphne and Velma? 'Cause to be honest, the only right answer there is "Both. At the same time." That way everyone will be satisfied. Posted by: Shaggy on January 24, 2006 09:19 AM
> Ah.... Bianca! I'd managed to put her behind me, until you yahoos came along to open up the wounds. Posted by: Guy T. on January 24, 2006 09:27 AM
More idiotic blabbering from the wackos including a WASHINGTON STATE moron who nose tries to compare impotence of deer to what could happen to people if a WAL-MART is built frankly that egghead should stick his nose in a pencil sharpener Posted by: spurwing plover on January 24, 2006 09:47 AM
The average Wal-Mart supercenter has 230 security cameras. Anyone who wants to test this "impotence" theory should keep this in mind. Best to wait until you've left the store. Posted by: Dave in Texas on January 24, 2006 10:08 AM
Thats just friggin great. We just opened up our new show room right across the street from a Wal-Mart. Now in addition to being in debt up to my nut sack I get to worry about impotence. And I just bought a babe magnet too (aka a Golden Retriever puppy). I blame Bush. Posted by: JackStraw on January 24, 2006 10:14 AM
A puppy?!! *squeal!* Posted by: KevlarChick on January 24, 2006 10:20 AM
See what I mean. And now I shooting blanks. Posted by: JackStraw on January 24, 2006 10:23 AM
"local white trash" - scaredface Scar, You must be Episcopalian. So help me out, Mr. Social Register. If there's white trash, then there's also white non-trash, right? (Such as your self-anointed preening self.) How do you tell them apart? (Or in other words, please give us the parameters of your snobbery.) Is there also 'asian trash', 'hispanic trash' or 'black trash'? How do you tell the 'trash' in these groups from the non-trash? Or do you just consider 100% of those groups to be trash? Final question: Why not stop being a snob and treat and talk about all people as being your equal, i.e. be a 'small d' democrat instead of a 'capital D' Democrat elitist? Who knows, you might even win a few elections. Bonus question: is your Democrat governor, Kathleen Blanco, 'white trash' or just an incompetent moron? Posted by: max on January 24, 2006 10:31 AM
My eldest daughter talked me into a beagle puppy. Initially I didn't want to, was afraid it might be a Sully magnet. However my fears were without foundation. The ladies go gaga over him. Named him Moses. Posted by: Dave in Texas on January 24, 2006 10:43 AM
The ladies go gaga over him. Named him Moses. So, Dave - absent a Red Sea in TX, what does your Beagle cause to part? I mean, can you provide us with anecdotes re: his, um "babe-magnetness?" Just curious. Posted by: Rocketeer on January 24, 2006 11:01 AM
And there I was, forming my remarks to go after Sliver-Sized Salami... but everyone seems to have beaten me to it. Hey SSS- are you talking shit about my home state through personal experience, or did you just read that? Hell, I'd be impressed if you could find the place on the map. tmi3rd Posted by: tmi3rd on January 24, 2006 11:25 AM
Everyone knows men that live in Pullman, Wash are impotent anyways, so why would they object??? Posted by: OneDrummer on January 24, 2006 11:31 AM
I thought the title of this post was "Wal-Mart can make you important". Then I thought, "That makes no sense!" Then I read it again, and it still made no sense. But whatever. Anyway. Zira, definitely. She may be smart, but she's uglier than Nova, so she'd be trying much harder. Plus, she'd use science to please her man. She'd have like algorithms and junk to make sure your get-down-get-funky shenanigans were happening with optimal effect. Nova's got this clingy vibe about her, too. Zira's the choice pick here. Posted by: Monty on January 24, 2006 11:44 AM
Moses?!! *squeal!* Dave in Texas, please take me to the Promised Land! Posted by: KevlarChick on January 24, 2006 11:58 AM
In college, I had a beagle-ish mutt. Smartest and sweetest dog ever. Oh, shit. Now I'm depressed. Posted by: shawn on January 24, 2006 12:08 PM

@KFILE 21m So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations. That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite thanks to weft-cut loop.

Oil prices plunge on bizarre realization that Eric Swalwell may actually be straight. A rapey molester, allegedly, but a straight one.

In more marketing for Project Hail Mary, scientists say they've found the biosigns indicating life growing on an alien planet. It's not proof, just signatures of chemicals that are produced by biological metabolism, and it could be nothing, but scientists think it's a strong sign that this planet is inhabited by something.
In a paper published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, a team of scientists announced the detection of dimethyl sulfide (along with a similar detection of dimethyl disulfide) in the atmosphere of an exoplanet called K2-18b. This is actually the second detection of dimethyl sulfide made on this planet, following a tentative detection in 2023. He means they tried to prove the signal was caused by things other than dimethyl sulfide but they could not.

Great marketing arranged by Amazon to promote Project Hail Mary. Okay not really but it does work out that way.
What? Skeleton of the most famous Musketeer, D'Artagnan, possibly discovered in Dutch church closet.
Dumas picked four names of real musketeers out of a history book, D'Artagnan, Athos, Aramis, and Porthos. So there was an actual D'Artagnan, though he made most of the story up. (Or, you know, all of it.)* Charles de Batz de Castelmore, known as d'Artagnan, the famous musketeer of Kings Louis XIII and Louis XIV, spent his life in the service of the French crown. A lot of Dumas's stories are based on bits of real history. The plot of the >Three Musketeers, about trying to recover lost diamonds from the queen's necklace, was cribbed from the then-almost-contemporaneous Affair of the Queen's Necklace. And the Man in the Iron Mask is based on real accounts of a prisoner forced to wear a mask (though I think it was a velvet mask). * Oh, I should mention, Dumas says all this, about finding the names in an old book, in the prologue to his novel. But authors lie a lot. They frequently present fictions as based on historic fact. The twist is, he was actually telling the truth here. At least about these four musketeers having actually existed and served under Louis XIV. Fun fact: You know the beginning of A Fistful of Dollars where the local gunslingers make fun of Clint Eastwood's donkey and Eastwood demands they apologize to the donkey? That's lifted from The Three Musketeers. Rochefort mocks D'Artagnan's old, brokedown farm horse and D'Artagnan is incensed.
A commenter asked which should be read first, The Hobbit of LOTR?
Easy, no question -- read The Hobbit first. It's actually the start of the story and comes first chronologically. It sets up some major characters and major pieces in play in LOTR. Also, the Hobbit is Beginner-Friendly, which LOTR isn't. The Hobbit really is a delightful book, and a fast read. It's chatty, it's casual, it's exciting, and it's funny. In that dry cheeky British humor way. I love that the narrator is constantly making little asides and commentary, like he's just sitting next to you telling you this story as it occurs to him. LOTR is a very long story. Fifteen hundred pages or so. The Hobbit is relatively short and very punchy and easy to read. If you don't like The Hobbit, you can skip out on LOTR. If you do like it, you'll be primed to read LOTR. Oh, I should say: The Hobbit is written as if it's for children, but one of those smart children's stories that are also for adults. Don't worry, there's also real fighting and violence and horror in it, too. LOTR is written for adults. (It's said that Tolkien wrote both for his children, but LOTR was written 17 years later, when his children were adults.) Some might not like The Hobbit due to its sometimes frivolous tone. Me, I love it. I find it constantly amusing. Both are really good but there is a starkly different tone to both. LOTR is epic, grand, and serious, about a world war, The Hobbit is light and breezy, and about a heist. Though a heist that culminates in a war for the spoils. Recent Comments
