Video The greatest love story ever told
Posted by Megan Henshall on Tue, Feb 14, 2012 at 4:03 PM
(Editor's Note: This blog post first appeared on Dear Such and So - Keyboard Venting.)
In a world inundated with online profiles and carpal tunnel-inducing text addiction, real connections are tragically rare. Let’s keep it real: The Notebook is sugary bullshit, and Nicholas Sparks is kind of an asshole for peddling it. That is why when I saw this narrative on TLC last night, I knew I had to share this example of unrefined and authentic love to the masses here in Charlotte.
In honor of Valentine’s Day: The modern-day fairy tale of 28-year-old Nathaniel and the sexual and emotional love of his life, Chase — his 1998 Chevy Monte Carlo.
Nathaniel met Chase roughly five years ago on a resale lot, and it was love at first sight. He said that Chase’s fire-red hood, with its “sexy and sleek lines," is what initially attracted him. Since that fateful day in the used car lot, Nathaniel and Chase have been hot and heavy, having unabashed make-out sessions in parking lots all over town. “We always have such a good time together,” Nathaniel sings.
Nathaniel spoils Chase with thoughtful gifts (accessories for his steering wheel and top of the line tune-ups) and slow sponge baths at the do-it-yourself car wash. Chivalry isn’t dead! They have regular date nights, most of which end in the throes of sexual passion.
I know the logistics of sex with a Chevy may seem tricky, but Nathaniel explains that it’s quite simple. “It involves a lot of rubbing up against him and then there is some masturbation.”
Oh, so not that tricky then. Dry humping is pretty much as fundamental as it gets. Perhaps we should all take a cue from Nathaniel and Chase to forego the The Reddoor and just keep it simple.
Moral of this tale: Although it may seem all the way dead, romance is alive and well, even in the most unexpected places. As you go about your Valentine’s Day, think of this touching story and give as much love away as possible. To your friends, your co-workers, your motor vehicle, your lamps, your iPod, your cell phone, your vacuum cleaner, and your significant other, whomever or whatever that may be. No judgment here.
Disclaimer: This is not an endorsement for dry humping in public. Get a room first.

Hard News Real lap dances, fake money
Posted by Mustang Sally, Mayor of Bang Town on Thu, Dec 15, 2011 at 5:05 PM
A man is facing federal charges for slipping fake $10 and $20 bills to strippers at Club Onyx.
According to The Charlotte Observer, Derrick Moore was indicted on Wednesday for sticking the counterfeit cash in strippers' g-strings.
Moore faces charges of with uttering, or presenting, as well as passing counterfeit obligations or securities. It was not immediately known whether Moore has been arrested.
I can't help but wonder, when did the stripper know the money was fake — before or after the ink ran down her leg?
And is Moore such a regular at Onyx that the dancer(s) knew for sure he had given the phoney money?
Hard News Is there a sex life after a postitive HIV test?

You know your status and you're HIV positive.
Does that mean an active sex life is over for you?
Not necessarily. Being honest and following a few rules will allow an HIV-positive person to maintain a sex life.
According to Everydayhealth.com, the first step to maintaining a sex life with HIV is being upfront about one's status.

love Want to live a happy life? Have sex as a senior citizen
Posted by Mustang Sally, Mayor of Bang Town on Tue, Dec 13, 2011 at 5:54 PM
Elderly couples who continue to have sex lead happier lives ... did we really need a study to tell us this?
Nonetheless, Florida A&M University has released such a study, according to Bangstyle.com.
Researchers were recently going over a past survey of married couples 65 or older, and found that those still engaging in regular sex were overwhelmingly happier with their lives and marriages. The survey polled 238 seniors and was conducted back in 2004 by the Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University. The participating seniors were asked to rate their feelings about their marriage and their lives in general by responding to questions that they either were happy, pretty happy, or not too happy. Upon reviewing these past surveys, the researchers noticed that there was a trend of happiness that related to couples’ sexual activity. Of those that had not had any sexual activity within the last year, 40% said they were very happy with their lives. However, researchers saw ta rise in this number to 60% among the couples that were having sex at least once a month. Similar results were found when couples were asked about their marriage.
Of course sex makes people happy. Look at the science of it: When men and women have sex, endorphin is released into the bloodstream.
Even British researchers agree that sex is good for you — though men get the most benefit.

Hard News Going overboard with sexual harassment
Posted by Mustang Sally, Mayor of Bang Town on Tue, Dec 6, 2011 at 10:14 AM
Have you heard the story about the 9-year-old Gastonia boy who said his teacher was cute and then got suspended from school?
He's been Herman Cain'ed, accused of sexual harassment and everything, and he's only 9. Here's the back story, as reported by WSOC:
Chiquita Lockett said her 9-year-old son, Emanyea, spent the last two days at home.Lockett said the principal of Brookside Elementary called her Wednesday to say the incident was a form of “sexual harassment.”
Emanyea told Eyewitness News a substitute teacher overheard him tell another student a teacher was cute.
The boy didn't touch the teacher and didn't even tell the teacher to her face that he thought she was "cute."
To save face explain their actions, the Gaston County School sent Lockett a letter explaining why a 9-year-old saying a teacher is cute constitutes sexual harassment.
In the letter, school officials say Emanyea Lockett said a teacher was fine in a suggestive tone. He said he told a friend she was cute.The district says the comment is considered a form of sexual harassment.
What does a 9-year-old know about "suggestive language"? It seems that the adults are the ones with their minds in the gutter. Raise your hand if you never had a crush on a teacher while in grade school.
