HUMOR and CULTURE/SOCIETY: Porn Films You Probably Don't Want To See

This is from me, and is not reprinted from somewhere else. - OlderMusicGeek

We got the following email at work...

If you receive an email from someone you do not know and subject line that is not clear, DO NOT OPEN THE EMAIL. The DHS system is receiving some SPAM that is very pornographic and we all need to take special attention. The IT staff are working to block these from our email but the senders are making changes so the blocks do not always work.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

The Ex-Marine co-worker sent this email to me...

I think if some examples were sent out, such as but not limited to Busty Babes of Babylon or Boodilicious Twelve, we could a much better job of identification and removal. Of course those examples would be strictly for education purposes. What do you guys think?

My response...

I think those would beat something like "Diabolic Deeds of a Data Entry Diva" or "Malicious Meanderings of a Mauling Mail Opener"!

I pictured this data entry gal in a tight dress calling an IT guy who shows up looking like no real IT guy in the real world!

"I'm a bad girl. I spilled coke all over my keyboard. I guess I'll have to punished."

"Oh, it seems there's a socket that needs filled!"

And that made me think of other porn titles, ones that you wouldn't see too much, or would at least have a limited audience...

The Delicious Deeds at the Dirty Dungeons And Dragons Game
The Rifling and Ransacking of the Rowdy Role-Play Klingons
The Creepy Caresses at the Kinky Comicbook Shop Owner
The Leery Looks of the Leacherous LARPers

If you can think of others, feel free to add them in the comments section!

CULTURE/SOCIETY: Valentine's Day Vs Vampire Day

This is from me, and is not some reprinted material. - OlderMusicGeek

A group of people wish to make Feb 14th Vampire Day.

Let me make it clear that a day for celebrating vampires sounds like a very fun day to me.

But these people want to co-op Valentine's Day. To quote - "It was started in 1995 when one night several college students got sick of all the talk about Valentine's day. It seemed that everyone had someone they where with or loved but this group of students. They decided then that Valentine's day was a segratory holiday. You had to have a love/lover to celebrate the holiday..."

To this, I have to say, "Waaaaah boo hoo! I'm a big nerd who can't get anyone on Valentine's Day. So I'm going to make them stop making me feel bad and play vampire instead!"

Give me a break! As a geeky nerdy dork, let me tell these people something... Get over yourselves!

If you can't get someone for Valentine's Day, then trying going out on a Saturday night instead of playing Dungeons And Dragons or White Wolf!

And it's not the end of the world if you don't have someone for Valentine's Day. Geez! Don't begrudge the lovers just cus you can't find anyone!

There's no rule saying you can't go out and do something else! Trust me, I've survived plenty of Valentine's Day without anyone. But I didn't whine that the others were "segregating" me because I didn't have anyone that year!

And there's no rule that says you even have to celebrate Valentine's Day. Most of the girls I dated didn't make a big deal of it! They prefered a guy who showed his affection any day.

So if you want to celebrate vampires, do it on it's proper day of Oct 30, and let the lovers have their day.

CULTURE/SOCIETY: 7 Geekiest Geek Hobbies

I found this post from the Prodigeek blog when I was doing some googling. - OlderMusicGeek

7 geekiest geek hobbies

June 16th, 2008

Categories: Comic Books, Geek living, Movies, The 7, Video games

There are many factions within the geek community, most viciously opposing and plot the death of other factions. Just try to get a Star Trek fan to agree with a Star Wars fan on anything. The truth is there is a hierarchy of geeks, and geeks in higher parts of that hierarchy are well in their power to look down on those lower in the hierarchy, the same way jocks and cheerleaders look down on all geeks. This list ranks the geekiest of geek hobbies in, well, order of geekiness. Enjoy one of these doesn’t make you a bad person. Just really, really geeky.

7. Star Wars geek

When it comes to sci-fi geekdom, Star Wars wins. It’s just huge, with every comic book, novel, action figure, and video game to collect, memorize, and horde. No other single franchise can match this insanity.

How to know if you are one: You have read anything Star Wars related outside of the 6 movies

Wastes money on: Anything Star Wars related outside of the 6 movies

6. Anime


Pokemon has helped turn anime into a less embarrassing hobby, as long as you are younger than 12. Once you his puberty, it’s time to hide those big-eyed cartoons and start watching South Park. But some geeks can’t break the habit. They just love the speed lines.

How to know if you are one: You understand anime

Wastes money on: Subtitle software and Japanese lessons


5. Comic book geek

These geeks are encyclopedias of the decades old Marvel and DC Universes, memorizing first appearances, continuity blips, even who’s dating who (in super hero land). They also know how many destructive acids exist on the human hand and thus often walk around with Purel and latex gloves for safe comic book reading. No glove, no love…of comics.

How to know if you are one: You know the difference between Superman Earth-1, Earth-2, and Earth-3 and can list every difference in their costumes. (Oh god, I do know the difference between Earth-1, Earth-2 and Earth-3! - OMGeek)

Wastes money on: CGC Grading, professional grading of comic book

4. Action figure geek

The challenge with action figure geeks is deciding who is geekier - the one who keeps the figures boxed or the one who opens them up and plays with them. Then I realized both are immature and not worth telling a date. And yes, I open my action figures (they’re desk distractions).

How to know if you are one: You know what points of articulation are and often count how many you have

Wastes money on: CGC Grading, professional grading of action figures


3. Tabletop gaming geek

Video games might be reaching the mainstream, but tabletop gaming is regulated to the back of comic book shops, hidden from the street traffic and common folk. All the newfangled technology and graphics pale in comparison to a true Dungeon Master’s imagination and extensive free time.

How to know if you are one: You have a preference between Dungeons and Dragons 2nd edition and 3.5

Wastes money on: Wizard hat for effect

2. Cosplay geek

Often seen at various conventions, cosplay geeks dress up like characters from their favorite fiction piece. Cosplay is very recognizable among anime and Star Wars conventions, where people come decked out in homemade costumes. Don’t you dare show up in anything store bought.

How to know if you are one: You have won a costume to any event that didn’t have costume party or Halloween in the title

Wastes money on: Paper mache. Lot and lots of paper mache.

1. LARP geek

LARP, or Live action role-playing, combines 2 and 3 into an incredibly geeky offspring where people dress up as their role-playing fantasy and play often Dungeons and Dragons or other tabletop style games. It’s kind of like military reenactments where you don’t know the ending.

How to know if you are one: You have ever played LARP. Once is enough.

Wastes money on: Time period specific shoes, for medieval or futuristic settings
