If you like to swear, come to Ohio!

In a study conducted by Institute, based on 600,000 phone calls from customers to businesses in the past year, it was found that Ohio residents swear more than residents of any other state in this country! Ohioans also ranked in the bottom five in terms of courtesy. As a current resident of the Buckeye state, was I surprised by this? Not really, at least on the swearing front.

Here's what I typically hear Ohioans say in the following situations (alright, some of these quotes may be slightly exaggerated, to the point where I'm sporting a Pinnochio-esque nose):

Situation: Ordering a drink

"Can a guy get a f**king beer around here? S**t!"


Situation: Ordering food at a nice restaurant

"I'd like the steak. I want it medium-f**kin'-raw! None of that medium-well bulls**t! I want it pink to the point where I can hear the f**king cow f**king moo, okay? You got that?"


Situation: Asking a woman out at a bar

"Hey baby. You're look f**kin' good, girl. How about you and I f**kin' go back to my place and just talk and s**t? We can talk, f**k, and s**t, know what I'm saying? How does that sound?"


Situation: Watching a sporting event

"F**k! F**k! F**k! F**k! F**k! I can't f**king believe that call! What the f**k is that zebra looking at? Jesus! That's f**king horses**t! We're only up 42-0! It should be 56 to f**kin' nothing! Come on, refs! Get with the f**king program here!"


Situation: Proposing to a woman

"Honey, I love you, like, so much and s**t. We've been together for like f**kin' ever, you know? I guess what I'm trying to say is, will you like f**kin' marry me and s**t?"

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...

The difference between "looking" and "checking out"

I may be way off with these numbers, but it's my approximation that at least 75% of individuals whom are involved in a serious relationship feel it's perfectly acceptable to "check out" members of the opposite sex they're not involved with. Meanwhile, approximately 25% either don't feel this is acceptable or aren't sure about the matter. I hadn't thought about this matter for a while, but since I've been dating a woman for about 8 months, the topic has been pondered about some. When reading or hearing others discuss this very issue, I often times hear comments similar to the following: "It's human nature to look." "There's nothing wrong with checking others out. I'm sure he/she does it too!" "It's fine to do it. Just don't tell your boyfriend/girlfriend about it or do it in front of them!" "It's natural to find people attractive." When observing the array of comments, I i...
