Clarence Thomas smooth-talking a woman

If there's anyone who knows how to give the silent treatment, it's Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. The man sat silently in court for seven consecutive years until this past January.

In thinking about that, I wonder how in the world he got his wife interested in him - how he ever smooth-talked her. While I'll never know this information first-hand, this is what I envision when thinking about it:

Setting: At a bar called Smooth As Silk and Drunk As Sh*t

Virginia Lamp (Lamp-Thomas one day): "Hey, how's it going? Are you new here? What's your name? I'm Virginia, Virginia Lamp."

Clarence Thomas: ::looks at her, nods his head and smiles, before taking a drink::

Lamp: "So, what do you do?"

Thomas: ::sighs::

Lamp: "You're kind of quiet, huh?"

Thomas: ::eyes widen::

Lamp: "I like that. I get tired of men who just can't stop yabbering on and on about stuff, especially sports, you know?"

Thomas: ::nods twice::

Lamp: "So, what are you drinking?"

Thomas: ::holds up his glass for a few seconds before taking another drink::

Lamp: "That looks too strong for me. That's good, though. I like my men nice and strong. So, I know this might sound crazy, but do you wanna go out sometime?"

Thomas: ::moves eyebrows up and down::

Lamp: "I know this is going to seem sudden, but it's still early. What are you doing tonight?"

Thomas: ::reaches over, grabs her hand, and places it on his nether-region::

Lamp: "Oh my. I'm sure that would be lovely, but I don't even know your name. I may as well call you Shaft."

Thomas: ::shows her his ID::

Lamp: "Alright then, Clarence. I live pretty close to here, so just follow me, alright? Do you have any condoms?"

Thomas: ::busts out several Magnum-sized condoms::

Lamp: "Gosh, I think I'm in love. Do you feel it too?"

Thomas: "Yeah."

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...
