This You Have To See To Believe

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

Yeah sorry to see that ad disappear, in a way. Only because it so gave this thread *OOMF*

How do we do a screen shot next time and post it right into the thread.

I am still chuckling at all this...."fun" bordering on Coprophilia
 
I Have one of those!!!

Ha ha ha hats from Anne Summers, i got bought one from my workplace when i left, They got me a horse thong, an inflatable sheep and a cool inflatable 3 piece suite for my living room! LoL
 
Speaking of sheep, an anti-abortion fanatic by the name of Horsley (or was that Horsely?) recently confessed -on live radio- to having "relations" with farm animals specifically mules but also others unspecified. You can find transcripts and/or tapes of the audio online.

Okay, so the auction was pulled. I'll guess it was for (hmm, how to say this delicately and in G-rated terms?) unwashed underwear that has been worn longer than usual by someone whose personal hygiene habits in the toilet are less than ideal.

In Japan, there are vending machines in public places that sell underwear worn by highschool girls (presumably of average hygenic habits), for the "entertainment" of men who in my opinion are rather warped.

Re. "skid marks" and suchlike: I've never had them (as in, not even once), and don't see any reason why anyone would, unless they're trying to economize too much on toilet paper:-). If someone has a sudden onset of a terrible tummy problem, the results could be taken care of via an immediate wash in a bucket of soapy water, followed by a bleach rinse, followed by a clear-water rinse.

Re. reusable feminine pads: I suspect these could end up making a comeback. Good reason for someone to invent a 1-lb capacity fully automatic micro-washer with a bleach dispenser and internal heater. That would also take care of underwear...

Someone mentioned pillowcases. Hmm, time for a new topic...
 
Japanese mentality

OH BABY- IMHO the Japanese are very different sexually. I worked for a Japanes firm, and OOOO WHOOO out there!!

IIRC they tend to be very hung-up on body functions and are into fetishes, as a group, which propbably makes this a dangerous thing to say. But it's just my opinion.

Even kids of potty training age are already picking up on that society's body function "shame". It is to the point that there is a very well-known book there (let's compare to a Dr. Seuss title here) that has the title "Everybody Poops" and shows/discusses many animals having a healthy dump in age-appopriate style and language. This is necessary just to get the kid have a BM wiohout guilt!

I tell you America seems to be tame based on other stuff out there.

There were excerpts of a Japanese "naughty" cable-type show that the female contestans were weighing their breasts on camera to see whose were meatiest. Public nudity there is major no-no. So these were definitley defiant bold people, by their standards.

To put it further into context, in a Japanese firm the men eat lunch, let's say at noon and the women at 1pm no questions asked. Women when addressing men must use a more fomal form of the verb "to go". Sorta like saying pretty please.

I have no doubt that the men's fetishes are catered-to. It's a very conformist society and like the song says "dreaming [of busitng out] is free"

A Japanese guy wokring here thought we woulf all give hin SH^& because he got a perm and a frosting. Major bold to him HO-HUM by NYC standards.

I'm rabling pointlessly.

TTFN Ta-ta for now.
 
Japanese shame

I was also told that the English set of words for the genitals is the more accepted, less embarrasing set of words for those body parts. The Japanese words are too "powerful".

Kinda like my aunt rambling on about her divorce and the few choice words she had for her particular arrogant lazy "entitled" imported husband. She said those few choice things in our foreign tongue but chose to use the F-word in English becaue she felt it was less vulgar. [Not to me it wasn't]. Made me laugh later -on in private all the harder.


BTW=> She said "Me pay him alimony? HA... "Alimony... the F _ _ _ -ing your get for the F - - - ing you got." She had his green card revoked. BYE BYE!

My father used to curse not in English but in just such a foreign tongue. Maybe he felt that I could think it, but repeating it here is pointless, for the most part. So to me I got to hear VERY poweful foreign stuff that I accepted as normal banter. Trust me, later on I realized the power and shade-of-meaning of those words!
 
I THOUGHT I was missing THAT!

I KNEW my underware drawer was looking empty! - Someone must be selling my tighty whites on ebay ! LoL

Sorry i have been quiet peeps, but been in London at a big Green / Enviromentla fair! Test Drove a new electric car, my god you Americans would roll on the floor laughing if you saw it! Its TINY! Think of a normal compact car and halve it, then you have the G-Wiz, take a look here!

 
Re. small electric car *great* idea. The UK has always been ahead of the US on small cars. Do a lookup on "Isetta" for a good example. 65 mpg in the 1950s. And another version of the same design made by Heinkel got 88 - 94 mpg. Personally I think the retro designs are cooler than the modern ones, but hey, if it runs and carries two people plus some "stuff," it's OK. I think we'll see more of these in the future, particularly with Toshiba's new battery that recharges to 80% of capacity in one minute, and 100% in three minutes. Faster than filling up with gasoline.

Re. poop: The desire for privacy isn't the same thing as shame. In an evolutionary sense, when you're doing your business you're vulnerable to attack, and the smell gives away your location to predators. So natural selection favored those who sought a protected place for those purposes.

Public bathrooms are really crappy architectural design: zero acoustic or olfactory privacy. You can see and be seen through the gaping cracks in the stall doors, you can hear, and be heard, as plain as day (plus an echo for emphasis!), and you can smell, and be smelled (in a manner of speaking). The idea of that kind of forced intimacy at that level is downright gross. Amazing that such crappy design is still the norm when it would be easy enough to provide real privacy.

Re. weird sexualities: As long as it's all consenting adults, but adult farm animals don't count:-).... What's *really* perverse is the amount of *violence* in the media. Think of it objectively for a moment: audiences get some kind of "good feeling" from watching the glorification of all manner of felonies, and from watching people get murdered, beaten, robbed, etc. That is really sick, and sicker still that children are allowed to watch it.
 
We have finally gotten smart and put planters above/within the concrete highway (freeway) dividers. Now the tall trees and bushes prevent curious gore-seekers from stopping and slowing traffic in the OTHER direction.

That is one good thing that has come out of these huge trucks that have made their way to he average driver in and around NYC.. the concrete dividers became taller to shield oncoming traffic from headlights.

Based on the trend towards huge trucks here, these little elcetric cars would be like a tow-boat briging in the cruise-liner. Still IMHO nothing beats the security offered while on the road of:

1) Knowing the rules of the road
2) Being decisive
3) Anticipating the errors of others
4) Thinking of others while driving
5) Being focused on the one task at hand (lives are at stake)
6) I HATE CELL PHONES ONT HE ROAD. NYS law requires a hands-free headset $20 max. Still very few buty one....

There is a seciton of the world where you can entertain your camel, but be sure she's female.. if not, it's a crime.
 
SUV owners should be shot!

Basically in England there is a big governemnt initiative at the moment to increase the road tax of SUV drivers to something like £900 a year. GREAT! I guess its a step into stop[pping people buying these boats of wheels.

There is NO REASON for a normal person (ie not a farmer) to be driving one of these thigs, I mean 12 MPG is outragous!

Yes i think electric is deff the way forward, that car i want os only for cities as only does 40 miles to the charge, fine for me as I rarly drive longer than 10 miles a day.

But other car , made but now scrapped by GM could do much furthur, you may have seen them in Calinfornia.
 
..well I wouln't necessarily SHOOT them. But But I'd love to see two smaller cars pull up on both sides of a large SUV and FORCE the driver to stay in ONE lane. Taking two lanes for one vehicle makes me very angry!

Regarding the touted tremendous efficiency of these small cars:

The average gasoline powered internal-combusion engine only harnesses about 17% of the energy stored in gasoline. The rest is wasted as heat.

Now creating electricity harnesses about 1/3 of the energy (or 33.33%) of fossil fuels. Normally electric devices are nearly 100 efficient AT THE POINT OF USE (not overall)

So electric cars, in theory, could use about half the energy that is currently being used.

Good luck getting Bush (or anyone else for that matter) to push this country to energy efficiency.

Let's start small by adopting the metric system in this country (which I hate, but it is a necessary "evil" already)
for the sake of simplifying world trade.

If most of Europe can go to a new currency (where denominations and prices resemble ours), we can go to the metric sytem.

Then we can go from there. Baby steps.

....and as I have said again and again, everyone is entitled to my opinion. LOL
 
Remember a few things

Overall, the internal combustion engine IS very efficient as a package. This is why it is used in so many applications when you could easily use another form of engine.

Second, electric cars shift the pollution upstream. You are going to have to build more powerplants to handle the load. And how do powerplants work? Chiefly coal and other burning processes. A perfect closed loop system would be a fusion generation of electric power and electric cars--but that is a long way off.

Right now, we still don't have batteries that are effiecient, long lasting enough, and provide a long enough run cycle with items such as air-conditioning turned on. You can throw all the research dollars you want at this, but the answer comes when it comes, not unlike a cure for cancer.

Comparable to just a few years ago, the internal combustion engine is actually a marvel of efficiency. Until electric cars can get 100s of miles on a charge, and allow 0-60 acceleration times in at least the 9 second range, and are priced well, you won't get people to buy them. Don't blame the politicians, this is a consumer issue. People are afraid of being stuck somewhere with their kids or for business. You will not get people over this worry, and you shouldn't expect to, until there are better technologies. Crampt 2 seat "urban" vehicles have been tried for 50 years and no one wants them.

That all said, I have a bit of an issue with the anti-SUV mindset. Not to get too political here, but last I checked, this is a free country. I don't have an SUV, but if I did, that is my choice, and my choice to burn my energy as I want. I have a friend who is anti-SUV, but she constantly throws parties, vacations and jets around, and has the air conditioning running non-stop in here home. The last time she crowed about how green she was by getting a hybrid, I apprised her of all the "wasteful energy" habits she had in other aspects of her lifestyle. Kind of like Barbra Streisand telling all us little people to hang our clothes out while she air conditions a 7000 foot mansion!

When people use very little energy in other aspects of their life, I think they can lecture the rest of the people who have an SUV!
