Portland Pride Pirates?
05
Jul
Apparently the city of Portland, Oregon scheduled both the Gay Pride events and the Pirate Day events on the same day. Both have crazy costumes, both have guys in drag, both have beer and people dancing really really well. And of course both have parades. But seriously now — Gay Pirate Day? Did Portland just think that no one would notice? 
NekoBoi was there for the pride events and captured some of the Pirate Parade on Video.
(Note: This does have sound and music on it)
As awesome as this looks, I would suggest that next year Portland schedule these on different days, if for no other reason than to stave off the horrible horrible jokes. (ROFL)
Comments have been turned off so that I don’t come back to 500 “Y’arr I’ve come to plunder yer booty” jokes.

I recently found out about a great site for online dating called Just Say Hi. There are plenty of great reasons to join JustSayHi, but of course it’s not for everyone.
First off, you’ve definitely gotta be single (naturally). But you also have to like dating sites — which surprisingly few people do. Personally, I think that getting all the pre-dating stuff out of the way online is the best way to go. Even if you’re nervous, you’ll still ask and answer questions because there’s really not as much pressure there. If it doesn’t work out when you’re first chatting, you don’t have to sit through a movie together afterwards or figure out how the check and tip get divided. 
If you don’t really have anything in common, you usually just talk about other stuff and part ways as friends after a bit — no pressure and no commitment. It’s like dating triage. And if you find someone you do like, it’s easy to set up a date. Plus once you’re on the date, you can get a bit more in-depth since you’ve already gone over the basic small talk like what you both do for a living.
Great reasons to join:
- Dating Triage: Find someone you might like before initiating contact
- Has a large variety of people to contact
- Great Forums for talking about everything from sports to movies
- 100% Free
- No annoying flashing ads, with a max of 2 ads per page
- Great atmosphere and Nice People
JustSayHi.com is one of a very select few free dating sites, so I would definitely encourage everyone to check it out if you’re single and looking for that special someone.

When Dr. House attends a yeast infection
31
Jan
I found this at fatsparrow, and died laughing!
And now for the bad news…. Sorry once again for the slack bastard posting, but on top of the sinus infection….
WARNING! MEN WILL CRINGE WHILE READING THIS!
….I now have a yeast infection from being on the antibiotics for so long, and on top of that, I had suspected I had a bladder infection, and now I know for sure because it’s turned in to a fucking kidney infection. I have to call up my doctor tomorrow and beg and plead for them to fit me in first thing, if at all possible. That’s assuming I survive the night without ending up in the emergency room from the pain. Oh, and then there’s the chest pains, the tingling in my left arm, the heart palpitations and the feeling that I’m being strangled when I lay down to sleep. Nothing to worry about I’m sure.
The Spouse Sparrow is beginning to suspect that the only reason I have come down with all of this at the same time so I can get House assigned as my doctor. He may be right, but it’s entirely subconscious on my part. Honest. I just worry that I’d get that poofter Chase assigned to me. Fuck that shit, bring House in. I’ll demand that he looks at me while I’m naked.
I can just picture it now, me waiting patiently on the clinic exam table, playing with my nipples, as House comes in….
House: “So what seems to be the problem?”
Me: “Well, I started out with a recurring sinus infection, my regular doctor put me on antibiotics, I got a rash under my ginormous diddies, got a cream for that, got a yeast infection, got a bladder infection, and then got a kidney infection.”
House: (raises eyebrow, looks bemused)
Me: “So which would you like to look at first; the diddies, the yeast in my beast, or a urine sample?
House: (turns pale) “I think we’ll let Cameron consult on this one.” (starts to walk out the door)
Me: “Come back here, you coward! What kind of man are you?! Is that cane just for looks, or are you using it to mask your penis issues? Hello? Hey, come back, I have insurance you know!”
Ah well, you get what you pay for.

Weight loss tips from MH readers — to keep you motivated in the kitchen and the gym
Our Web Producer, Julie Lubinsky, recently joined a (Insert Brand Name) paid weight loss group, thinking it would be motivating enough to step on that scale every week in front of people.
The group shares weight loss tips — like, when dining out, divide the platter in half and immediately box up the other half, and drink a glass of water before going to a party so you get that “full” feeling and won’t gorge on cocktail weenies. Julie needed advice to share with the group, so she asked our Men’s Health newsletter readers to send in their best weight loss tips to us. Below are 20 of the best tips submitted.
Hopefully, these will inspire us all to get through the weighty weekend, sail through Mundane Monday, to Trim Tuesday, Weight Loss Wednesday, and Thin Thursday so we never have a Fat Friday again! Read the rest of this entry »
