Piss off

One night a man decides to visit his local bar. He takes a seat and orders a beer. After polishing off his beer, he beckons the bartender over and says, "Betcha $20 I can bite my eye."

The bartender scoffs and accepts. The man then calmly removes his false eye and bites it. The bartender grudgingly forks over a twenty.

Later that night, after a few more beers, the man wanders back to the bar and says rather drunkenly, "Hey barkeep, betcha another $20 I can bite my other eye."

Wanting to win back his money and seriously doubtful that the man has two false eyes, the bartender accepts. The man calmly removes his false teeth and bites his other eye. Scowling, the bartender hands over another twenty. The man leaves and wanders around the bar as he drinks a few more beers.

He strolls back over to the bar, leaning on it, again and calls the bartender, "Hey, barkeep," he burbles, "I'll give you a chance to win yer money back plus. Betcha $100 if you put a shot glass on that end of the bar, and I stood on this end, I could piss into it and not spill a drop."

The bartender eagerly accepts, knowing the feat to be impossible. The man wobbily climbs atop the bar, zips down his fly and promptly pisses all over the bar. He zips up, sits down, slaps the $100 on the bar and laughs uproarously.

"What's so funny?" says the barkeep. "You just lost everything you won and more!"

Well," giggles the man, "I just bet those guys over there $200 that I could piss all over your bar and you wouldn't get angry."

All I want for xmas are my two front teeth~

As in, veneers. Badly needed. But I couldn't ask that from you. I'm asking my insurance company for that, instead.

What I want for Christmas (and I'm only writing this here so I remember and buy it for myself later), are the following:

  1. A scanner.
  2. A webcam.
  3. A Nintendo DS with tetris. Because even I can't resist playing games.
  4. Still need nose studs and ear studs.
  5. Lots of chocolates, preferably Ferrero Rocher.
  6. Black skinny jeans, because it's easier to wear boots when the pants aren't hemmed so wide.
  7. These were my old pairs, and I'm gonna get the same kind again. Yes, it was for boys, because the ladies version didn't come in High-Cut. Size 7.5 My feet are pretty big for my height.
Again, I will probably most likely buy these for myself over the next few months, as I slowly save money and spend money. Till then, I will dream of more chocolates and skinny jeans.

Cosas de Coches

Resulta k llego el otro día a una terraza de un bar en mi pueblo(Griñón) con el A6, mi mujer y yo. Aparco justo enfrente de las mesas y sillas y al lado de un pedazo de mercedes 600 SEL V12 con matricula m....nm o sea que si no me equivoco es del 1992 mas o menos. Bueno a lo que vamos, nos sentamos junto enfrente de los dos coches y creo que el dueño era un cincuentón que estaba tomando algo con su mujer a nuestro lado. En esto llega un 206 "ultrastreetrayotunnig" en un color inexplicable y todo reluciente y lo típico con las ventanillas bajadas y la música a tope y pegando acelerones para que se oyeran sus maxmegatubarros". Va el tío y aparca en doble fila detrás (en gran parte) del mercedacos y del mío. Se bajan dos pimpines con los pelos despeinados hacia arriba y engominaos hasta el culo, se quedan mirando el Mercedes y mi A6 y se sientan en la mesa de al lado con otros tres colegas que ya estaban en la terraza. A la que venían a sentarse el hombre del Mercedes le dice educadamente al chico que le quite el coche que va a salir. El neng le dice que si que ahora mismo y entre risas con sus amigos comenta por lo bajini que una mierda, que mucho coche pero que le va ha tocar esperar un ratito. Mientras el se regocija con sus amiguitos los cuales también se partían el culo, el cincuentón del Mercedes con el coche ya un rato encendido le toca el claxon y le dice que haga el favor de quitárselo y el niñato le dice "que te esperes hombreeee, tanta prisa y tanta polla", palabras textuales. Y el crío sigue bebiéndose su caña con los amigos de fondo partiéndose el culo. Ahora viene lo bueno. El tío del mercedes mete marcha atrás y acelera a tope con sus 408 CV que tiene el bicho (si no me equivoco) y le mete al del 206 un estacazo del copón y le empotra toda la puerta del copiloto para dentro medio metro por lo menos. Yo y todos los de allí nos quedamos así, empotrados, menos el crío del 206 que se quedo blanco. Se abalanzan sobre el viejo todos los chavales y tres o cuatro tíos que estábamos allí les paramos los pies, el dueño del 206 le empieza a gritar al del mercedes que si esta loco que si tal.... El cincuentón se baja tranquilamente (la mujer ni se menea, se queda sentadita) y le suelta al chaval que creía que ya se lo había quitado y que no había visto el coche y le dice para mi la frase del siglo. Al loro: "MIRA HIJO PARA SER CHULO EN ESTA VIDA HAY QUE TENER COJONES Y DINERO y ahora saca los papeles que hacemos el parte y no te preocupes que la culpa la he tenido yo pero tu coche se va ha quedar un mesecito en el taller, un poco mas de lo que tu me has hecho esperar a mi". Im-presionante, la gente hasta aplaudía, el niñato no sabia donde meterse y creo que no va ha olvidar esa frase en su vida, je, je fue para verlo, casi le pido un autógrafo al del mercedes, mi héroe y hasta a la mujer, que ni siquiera hizo gesto de preocupación. A todo esto decir que el mercedes ni siquiera se abolló, unos rasguños de la inexplicable pintura del otro y ya está, vamos ni comparación con lo que le hizo al 206.

Men, food, and winter gloves

I was starting to write notes for my first manga blog review of Paradise Kiss (which is a shoujo, and oddly enough, my favourite thus far) when a member of the opposite sex approached me and claimed I was "fun on a bun." (Don't ask me the context of this conversation- it wasn't dirty, it just was). This got me riled up. Men and food... it is something I will never understand! Never! It pisses me off so much! My boyfriend, the great lover of food that he is, stayed up the whole fucking night with me once, and the whole time we could've been having steamy phone sex, we spent it talking about food, different kinds of food, how to serve this kind of food, where to get it, how hard it is to find the ingredients... shit, I could do go on forever! We talked for 4 fucking hours about food!!! After that, he had to leave to get something to eat... something about talking about food makes him hungry. *sighs*

What is it about food that make the male species abandon their libido? Everytime he starts to talk about food, I want to shove something long, hard and coarse up his ass. To be fair though, food on your partner while they're naked is hot. Yummy. However, just straight talk about food and so on, is worse than taking World Religions with my History teacher (I barely passed it). I think if he had to REALLY choose, it'd be the stupid ("It's not stupid! It's HAM! Black forest ham!") sandwich over me. *mumbles*

And now how does winter gloves tie into this? Well, it doesn't. I just hate gloves. You can't do ANYTHING when you have them on. You can't button/zip up your coat, you can't get out your keys, you can't FEEL anything, so you don't realize if you've dropped your keys out of your pocket or anything like that. I'm especially paranoid of losing things, since I have in the past and don't intend on losing things so easily anymore. I especially hate how POINTLESS they are. They DON'T keep me warm at all. You see, one day on my way to work, it was raining and VERY windy. I had sworn to myself I would buy gloves so my fingers would have to never experience that again while holding an umbrella on a windy, rainy day. They were black, very cute, with a faux-fur trim on the edges and real leather and they cost me $20.52 (so much for a store discount!). I wore it on a cold night and when I went home, my fingers were barely alive. I hate gloves more than ever now.

Introduction to sexyness:

*bows* Heya! The name's Afroza and I've decided to make my first post an intro to me. Originally from and born in Bangladesh, I came to Canada when I was only seven years old! According to Edu-kun, I was a very cute little seven year old. I came here for an operation on my cleft palette that they couldn't perform in my native country. Before I came to Canada, I used to live on my grandparent's (from my mother's side) farm with my mom and younger brother. I had a baby chick as a pet. :P

When I came to Canada, I was so hated! I still remember how rude my classmates were from day 1. :P Emotional scars take a very long time to heal. However, by the end of Grade 6 we were all good, or at least my classmates thought so. I'm still plotting a revenger scheme for all of the harassment I endured, bwahahahaha!

Anyways, NOW I'm 18 years old and currently attend both High School and take a half-credit course at a local university (YorkU ftw!). Um my aspirations are to teach graphic design at high school level. I don't have any obsessions, nothing that I am absolutely fanatic about. But if it had to be one thing, I cannot live without music. I don't study music religiously and I don't play instruments, but I do enjoy it very much and it is a very important part of my life. I'm always listening to music, and if I don't, I'll go insane. Um what else? I enjoy reading manga very much and try to collect hard-cover volumes as much as often, but this is an expensive hobby. Prior to end of October, I had manga that cost me $1,000 to collect. I sold some to my librarian at my school, though.

Um, I think that's a good enough introduction! Were you expecting something sexier?
