Mr. Hands.

You say "horse fucking" and I think "Mr. Hands."

This guy from the article fucked a horse? So what? He was a pitcher.

Mr. Hands was a catcher. And that's how he died, too. (non-scary Wikipedia link)

Don't go off and Google this unless you want something awful burned into your retinas forever.

I wish Miss Josey still had her old database/archive system going, so I could find the article I long-ago researched on zoophilia. (If only because I found out some interesting stuff for her.)

I'm sure I posted about it before, but definitely one of the most disturbing articles to research for me...  and not just because of all the bestiality pop-ups that kept coming up when I was searching for "proper" "zoos" to interview. Ended up getting an interview with a psychologist who "treats" the types of people who fuck horses (for example) but that's the closest I could get to this... I guess she'll reprint it one day when she's feeling lazy about writing columns (and/or while she's writing her next book, which is now), so I can post stuff then. It was illuminating, though utterly sad.

So I of course Googled that, Jeff. Oh.My.God. At least it wasn't super close-up. I like how they ask if the horse came, like that's the most interesting part of the video. I mean, how long beforehand are you stretching out your asshole (increasing dildo size? fisting? what?) until you can get a horse cock in your ass?

OMG.

[Just Some Girl]

I'm leaving the question of the horse's "complicity" out of this, obviously.

Part of the zoos' nature (and I've not seen the doc, Zoo) is to actually believe the animal wants it, and opposed to those who "just" practice bestiality, there really is a feeling among zoos that there is a relationship there, bordering on love and compliance. I found out the psychological difference between zoos and bestiality practitioners pretty quickly by researching for Josey (including reading message boards, etc. -- there are people like us! only weirder!), though for the average person, there is no distinction whatsoever: If you're fucking, say, a dolphin, you're fucking a dolphin; there is no psychological or emotional component to it. You're just nuts, right?

Oh, god, I really want to stop talking about this now. I'm fascinated (by the pathology*) and depressed at once.

The other most disturbing article was one I edited (early on, before I researched for Josey as well), an interview with a pedophile (in jail). The new "thing" they are trying to get people to recognize and accept is pedophilia as an orientation (like, say, homosexuality). That's never ever going to fly, and yet they persist. This is how they are. Ugh.

Oh, god, I really want to stop talking about this, too. I'm out of here...




*And of course, I'm using my own definition of pathology here. Ain't no shrink, so maybe that's the wrong word.

[Just Some Girl]

On a drive-by upside, I should add that most of my research and editing work with Josey was on articles about blowjob methods, and modern dating, and sex appeal, and rituals and weird & fun fetishes, and toys and pheromones and ex-sex and talking dirty, and... even, dare I say it, love, and much more fun things than the dire and depressing stuff I mentioned earlier (and/or previously).

Aside from -- nay, including -- my work with the studio/label, it was my most fun and interesting job, and one that yielded me a great friend out of the ol' ex boss.

Today on Ed Shultz, they started to make the case that it was the responsibility of Americans to buy American brand cars. Like our economy is depending on us to do the right thing, or something to that effect. If some asshole comes along and defaces my Toyota, I'm gonna totally fuck Ed's cat til its eyes pop out of its head.

the responsibility of Americans to buy American brand cars.

Oh, does the bailout not count?

Besides, thanks to him Lisa Germano never had to get a day job. And Lisa Germano is pretty cool.

Lisa Germano is definitively pretty cool.
