fracas


This is what normal breasts look like.

I do a lot of tongue in cheek posts. I post about shoes, I post about bras. I post about crotches, men in bras, bra sizes and all manner of other silliness. I make fun of people and yet know when it’s time not to poke fun… like when I post about eating disorders or preemies, or our soldiers.

So I just want to take this opportunity to say that while I might post the Red Bra Diaries, and include photos of lovely bras worn by “Debbie dons 34D“… I also know that sometimes women have a “36long” or a “32pointy“, and that for every woman who is not picture perfect or silicone enhanced, there is probably, some man who loves those boobs anyway, because they are after all… the boobs of someone he loves. Men can be like that you know. Don’t let the commercials fool you.

So… I came across this site and wanted to share it. I warn you.. the site is full of pictures of naked boobs. Honest to goodness, it is. But… they are natural naked boobs, not silicone or saline perfect ones that look like someone stuffed a large grapefruit in there.

This is an educational site. Please don’t view this site if you are:

1) A child and have a parent who would be upset that you viewed naked breasts.
2) Immature or ignorant and are viewing it in order to act like a stupid 12 year old who has never seen naked breasts before.
3) A female just looking because you want to laugh and think how yours are so much nicer/better. That just makes you insecure. I hope you know that. Self confidence is when you don’t have to note others’ negatives in order to know your own pluses.
4) Looking for that stuff that starts with a por, has the letters nog after those and raphy after those. Seriously… just go type in a search for some real stuff. You’ll be happier that way.
5) At work and not supposed to look at naked breasts while at work.

Happy Thursday.

I’ll have some nonsense for you tomorrow for sure. Friday Funnies perhaps? Silly signs perhaps? More bras? More shoes? One never knows. Maybe I’ll even post more fraccy photos?

You’ll just have to come back and see.

(And brahnamin… did you notice that I haven’t asked anyone to vote for me at Fuelmyblog for a couple of days now? Aren’t you afraid there’s something wrong with me?)

Go look at breasts. You’ll be glad you did. If you’re a woman, you’ll be looking in the mirror thinking, “Hey.. mine are pretty fine after all.”

if you’re a guy… well… that needs no explanation.

Apologies and forgive me cat

I’m sorry.

I really am. 

I seem to have spent some time actually posting helpful information and news, like…

The nonsense will continue shortly.

Can you ever forgive me?



XDR TB. A lethal strain, know your risks.

Not familiar with TB (Tuberculosis)? With news reports of an infected man who may have infected others during two airline flights, some might wonder if a panic is going to arise. Panic isn’t helpful, information is. Read the news report below and then look for information, links and help at the end of the article.

    “Passengers and crew on two recent transatlantic flights may have been exposed to a rare and unusually drug-resistant strain of tuberculosis by an unidentified man who is now under federal quarantine. Officials at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) say it’s been more than 40 years since a similar isolation order was given.In an effort to contain the spread of this often-lethal form of the disease known as XDR TB, health authorities are asking passengers who traveled on either flight  (Air France Flight 385 from Atlanta to Paris on May 13 and Czech Air Flight 0104 from Prague to Montreal on May 24). to come forward for testing. Tuberculosis is an airborne bacterial infection that usually affects the lungs and is usually spread by people in close quarters. While rates of the disease are fairly low in the United States (fewer than 14,000 cases were reported last year), it is a leading health problem worldwide—particularly for those with compromised immune systems. There were 1.6 million TB deaths in 2005 according to the World Health Organization.”

For more on what TB is, what your chances of surviving it are, and what your risk as an airline passenger is, read the rest of this Newsweek article written by Eve Conant:

Offering puppies is the newest twist in Nigeria scams
By David Colker, Los Angeles Times

    “And now for the latest scam from Nigeria: puppies.The Council of Better Business Bureaus and American Kennel Club were to issue a warning today about fraudulent Web sites, MySpace postings and print ads asking people to help save puppies that are in desperate straits.The sites and ads usually show adorable bulldog puppies that have become stuck somehow in Nigeria or other countries and are offered free to new owners. A variation offers purebred English bulldogs — a particularly expensive breed — at vastly discounted prices.People who responded to the ads eventually were asked to send hundreds of dollars to cover expenses such as shipping, customs, taxes and inoculations on an ever-escalating scale.

Some reported paying fees totaling more $1,500.

“It’s like the Nigerian advance-fee scams we’ve been seeing for years, except with the face of a puppy,” said Steve Cox, a council vice president.

No matter how much was paid, no puppies arrived.

Even the pictures — showing sad-eyed puppies with folds of skin so loose it looked as if they were wearing bunched-up sweaters — probably were fraudulent, mostly lifted from legitimate sites of unwitting dog owners.

Which leads to the only good news about the situation.

“When people hear about these scams involving pups they get so upset for the poor dogs,” said Alison Preszler, spokeswoman for the council. “But at least I can say to them, ‘There are no real puppies involved. It’s all a fake.’ “

The problem is growing. In the past couple of months, local bureaus across the country increasingly have been getting complaints, Cox said.

In April, a Manhattan woman was charged with grand larceny for collecting fees for English bulldog puppies online and then not delivering them. She allegedly told local investigators she shared the proceeds with a Nigerian accomplice.”Read the rest (yes, there’s more) here, and for another example…

Nigerian puppy scam hits the internet.

Don’t be taken in by a Nigerian scam, visit this site  and see what you can do about it, or visit this site  and see how one guy became a Nigerian Scam baiter. I warn you, his site will offend some people, though his real aim is only to offend the scammers. If you know you’re a sensitive person, you might want to read his “about me” page before you decide to read the rest of his site. Now don’t say I didn’t warn you, and don’t leave me silly comments either.

Do you think you’ve received the one genuine letter from a Nigerian trying to do “business” with you? You can check the Nigerian Fraud Email Gallery to see if your letter is there. With 542 different examples there, if you don’t find your letter there, the site will still save you from getting scammed because by the time you’ve read all the examples, the Nigerian who sent you yours will probably have died of natural causes. If not, and you need more to convince you, why not have a look see over at swapmeetdave’s list of images  of phony Nigerian documents?

And if you still aren’t convinced that ignoring the potentially lucrative business deal with that really nice person in Nigeria is the best choice of action… I hear there’s a really nice guy in Florence who can get you a really good deal on the Ponte Vecchio I bet you’ll rival Donald Trump someday. Email me… we’ll do lunch.
