Another crazy Facebook post - this time concerning rape

I really have to wonder sometimes what people are smoking when they post some of the things they do on Facebook. I just came across another one of these "what-the-hell-is-he-smoking" posts.

Someone I know just posted a sign which says the following:

"Liberal Rape Tips: Urinate on yourself to ruin the rapist's mood.

Conservative Rape Tips: Pull out a Glock - and make him piss HIMSELF!"

Are Republicans ever going to learn it's probably best that they don't talk about rape? Between Todd "vaginas-have-a-way-to-shut-that-whole-thing-down" Akin and Richard "it's-part-of-God's-plan" Mourdock's comments about rape being the ultimate deciding factor in their Congressional losses this past November, I'd think the GOP would send a memo around, which read, "Don't talk about rape!"

But, here we go, just 3.5 months after election day, hearing another lovely Republican quote about rape:

"Liberal Rape Tips: Urinate on yourself to ruin the rapist's mood.

Conservative Rape Tips: Pull out a Glock - and make him piss HIMSELF!"

That's right, ladies and gentlemen, even though male Republicans in Congress have illustrated about as much knowledge with regard to rape as newborns have in quoting Shakespeare, conservatives' strategy to prevent rape is better than the liberals'! If the "Glock" fails, however, these same conservatives will say, "I don't care about your rights! Have the freaking baby! Geez!"

My only "rape tip" is for conservatives in Congress (and whoever created the before-mentioned sign for Facebook) - take a class on the definition, history, and effects/affects of rape and then go to a support group to hear rape victims' testimonies. Perhaps that will offer some new insight and prevent them from sounding more ignorant on the matter than I am about how to get pregnant (I still don't know how Arnold Schwarzenegger pulled it off in Junior...).

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

Face guarding is legal in college football and the NFL

I just wanted to remind fans and announcers especially, that face guarding is legal in both college football and the NFL. It all comes down to contact. So long as a defender doesn't make contact with an intended receiver, he doesn't have to turn around to play the ball. I can't tell you how many times every week I hear announcers talk about face guarding being a penalty. It's not. I even heard one announcer yesterday state, "If the defender doesn't turn around and play the ball, the ref will call pass interference every time." That's simply not true. Courtesy of referee Bill LeMonnier, he says this with regard to the rule at the college level (answered on 8/12/13): "NCAA rules on pass interference require the face guarding to have contact to be a foul. No contact, no foul by NCAA rules." In the NFL rule book, this is written:  "Actions that constitute defensive pass interference include but are not limited to: (a) Contact by a ...
