[Videos] Armand Van Helden: Hear My Name and Shake That Ass

15 July 2010
The music isn't my favorite but after seeing Armand Van Helden's video for Hear My Name on The Sex Carnival, I'm a fan regardless. Taking tea in a luxe mansion and doling out spankings all day long does not look like such a bad pastime... I also have no problems whatsoever […]

The Periodic Table of Swearing

10 July 2010
Sadly, The Periodic Table of Swearing by Modern Toss is currently out of stock. It was also extremely expensive. Still, the very British-flavored periodic table of verbal obscenities and graphic insults is really entertaining (click to view large size for detail, link via The Awesomer). I'm definitely going to start […]

Straight for Pay

8 July 2010
When three things on the same topic collide in my life and online, it's time for a post: this is about men who are Straight for Pay. It started with explaining to a Brit friend what BangBus is. With humor for something patently offensive and ridiculously fake, I explained BangBus […]
