The Rear vs. The Chest

A male friend was telling me a while back that he's more of a butt than a breast kind of guy. He said there's just something about nice muscular butts.

I don't get this. I can understand if a woman was more into looking at guys' butts than their chests, but the other way around?

I mean, we all have butts, don't we? Some are so bony that I don't really classify them as butts, but they are still classified as that person's rear-end.

Remember the film "Dumb and Dumber" with Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels?

When they finally arrive in Aspen, Colorado (or California to some), they bump into a couple and Daniels remarks, "Whoa, check the butt out on that!"

Carrey responds, "Yeah, he must work out."

Is the butt really a distinctive feature for either sex? When a guy and a gal walk into a bar, what is most likely to be the difference that is most noticeable? The chest. My friend mentioned that it didn't matter to him if a gal had no chest at all, as long as she had a nice butt and this disturbed me, because wouldn't that be a male figure right there?

Although, the way that the trend is going for females, perhaps the male figure will soon be the in-thing and my friend’s perfect woman will be what's "perfect" in many men's eyes. I could never go that route though. If I see a woman and her figure looks just like mine, then in all likelihood, I won't be attracted to her. If I wanted to date someone that looked like me, that would be very disturbing, to say the least.

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 ...

A closer look at the Scramble With Friends power-ups

I am unashamed to admit that I'm a nerd. My idea of a good time is playing a word game like Boggle or Scrabble. Thankfully, I (and many others) can play such games via Facebook and/or my (our) cell phone(s). While it seems that cheating has become more commonplace in these games (Words With Friends in particular) than San Diego has had nice weather, I've yet to give in to that craze. One element present with the game Scramble With Friends (Boggle) not present in Words With Friends (Scrabble) are legal boosts called "power-ups," which cost a number of tokens from the 15 available. I've now tried all five power-ups, including the latest one which costs money. So, in case anyone's curious about playing the game or giving these power-ups a gander, here's a rundown of them all: Freeze - I think this is probably my favorite of all the power-ups. With the freeze, time stands still for a matter of seconds, which allows you more time to find words and improve...
