God Smites Hippie Heathens at Burning Man

ian spiegelman — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 12:04:25 EDT

So about 50,000 artsy-lefty, sexed-up, chanting, New Aged nutsos got together in Nevada's Black Rock Desert to do all sorts non-traditional spiritual stuff, and the Lord took notice. He (She? It?) smote 'em Old School with a massive sandstorm yesterday that sent many of the occultists running for shelter before they could close the festivities with the traditional burning of some man.

"Roger Farschon, incident commander for the federal Bureau of Land Management, said the dust storm on the Black Rock Desert about 110 miles north of Reno began early Saturday afternoon and continued into the evening.

"'We are in (a) total whiteout,' he wrote by e-mail."

Amazingly, no one was killed or seriously injured during the hell-tastic event, though the BLM arrested six people and handed out 129 citations, mostly for drug offenses. Damned hippies. [AP]

Gay? Bi-Curious? Beach-Lover? Don't Let This One Get Away!

This went up yesterday, and it's still live, so your summer could be made! "So here's the deal... I'm usually in the Hamptons with my girlfriend at my folks house, not far from the town of West Hampton. However, luck would have it that my folks are going away for a week and we're at the house alone. We like to mix it up and have fun with another guy, keeps our relationship interesting and fresh. She's only into guys but knows I like getting it on with another guy while she either watches or gets involved. So what I'm offering is this... if you're looking to get away from the madness of your share house this weekend and looking to stay with us for a couple of nights, let me know how willing you are to please us... sexually. If we think it matches with our style, we'll expect you this evening. Here's a picture of me for starters..."

Sorry, I won't post the pic, in case it's a prank on some innocent, silly-looking dude. (And who would post a pic with an expression like that on his mug when he's looking for sex?) But go see him, and maybe meet your Hamptons house-ticket here.

PSA: Don't Eat Black Stone

ian spiegelman — Sat, 24 May 2008 12:32:05 EDT

Doesn't anyone just sniff Rush anymore? "Health officials are warning New Yorkers to stay away from an illegal aphrodisiac made from toad venom after the product apparently killed a man. The city's poison control center issued the warning Friday after receiving a hospital report that a 35-year-old man who ingested the hard, brown substance died earlier this month. The product is sold under names including Piedra, Love Stone, Jamaican Stone, Black Stone and Chinese Rock at sex shops and neighborhood stores. It is banned by the Food and Drug Administration."

"City health officials said the victim, whose identity was not released, was admitted to the hospital complaining of chest and abdominal pain. He died two days later. Health officials said the hardened resin, made with venom from toads of the Bufo genus, contains chemicals that can disrupt heart rhythms.

"The aphrodisiac was supposed to have been applied to the skin, not eaten, but authorities said even that use can be harmful." [AP]

Rutgers Is Full Of Ninjas!

Hamilton Nolan — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 14:49:05 EDT
