Last year his wife, the actress Marissa Ribisi, gave their daughter the name Tuesday, which was not necessarily Beck’s first choice. “I tried to beat it,” he said. “I came up with Zsa Zsa. I got shot down. It’s up to her. I don’t really have a say.”

Ceramist Francisco Figueiredo opens a casting mould of a phallus in his workshop in Chao de Parada, central Portugal June 26, 2008. Husband and wife Francisco and Cassilda Figueiredo are among the last exponents of a traditional Portuguese handicraft — making ornamental ceramic penises. For more than three decades, the couple have carefully shaped thousands of cermaic male organs, moulding them into upright shapes and painting them in life-like colours for export to Germany, France and North America.

“So, what do you do for a living?”
“Uhh, my job sucks. It’s so gay.”
“You know, I hate when people say stuff like that. Just say, ‘my job sucks’ or ‘I hate my job’. There’s no need to use that language.”
“No, seriously. This job is gayer than you can imagine.”
“Ok. Let’s see if I can imagine the gayest job ever. Tim Gunn Impersonator.”
“Gayer.”
“What?”
“I make molds of penises. Then I spend my days touching huge, oversized dicks.”
“That’s even gayer than the other job I thought of: Star Jones’ Husband.”

In this article on Rush Limbaugh, you’ll learn he’s kind of a douche. My favorite part is towards the end when the Times reporter teases him about Hannity being more influential.

Today this song from a year or two ago came up on the old Music Choice on TV and it reminded me how good it is. Now that I’ve been reminded, I’m passing on the goodness.
4 days agoI’d like to put on my economist hat for a moment, if I may. Everything is expensive. Gas, food, even a pack of cigarettes is $10 bucks nowadays.
Thankfully, the world’s favorite activity is still free. No, not watching ABC’s hour of hilarity, Wipeout.
It’s fucking! Fucking is still free.
Here’s my bright idea to solve our current economic downturn: tax sex*. Anytime someone wants to put it in someone else, an IRS agent swoops in to collect the new boning tax.
This leads me to even a more brilliant idea: the boner tax. Everytime a man has an erection, he will be taxed one dollar. While writing this sentence, I would’ve cost myself 400 dollars. But it’ll be worth it when all my boners pay the entire cost of the Iraq war. In two days.
Am I right? Ladies?
I’ve done it! I’ve made a dick joke in the context of a horrible and neverending war. I feel good about myself now. And on that note, happy 4th America!
*Holy fucking shit, a Democratic legislator from Rhode Island legitimately proposed a sex tax in 1971.
