The Lighter Side Of Relationships & Sex…

I FOUND A GREAT LIST of quotes in my inbox this week, sent to me by MaryMac which I think captures that essential difference between the way men and women view sex and relationships. I’ve selected six of the best quotes for your entertainment… enjoy

Tom Clancy: “I believe that sex is one of the most beautiful, natural, wholesome things that money can buy.”

Robin Willians: “Ah, yes, divorce, from the Latin word meaning to rip out a man’s genitals through his wallet.”

Steve Jobs: “My girlfriend always laughs during sex — -no matter what she’s reading.”

Lynn Lavner: “There are a number of mechanical devices which increase sexual arousal, particularly in women. Chief among these is the Mercedes-Benz 380SL.”

Steve Martin: “You know ‘that look’ women get when they want sex? Me neither.”

Woody Allen: “Having sex is like playing bridge. If you don’t have a good partner, you’d better have a good hand.”

Quotes For Thought

AS I SIT HERE and contemplate yet another weekend working through ever increasing levels of crap against an impending deadline I decided to take a breather and gulp down some perspective on the stories I’d been covering this week. For some reason religion featured a lot either in image form (as humour) or as commentary on international news.

I’ve also been following various debates about evolution versus the ‘god’ theory off-line and while most of these topics and arguments tend to just circle each other without giving an inch I stumbled upon a few quotes which I think are worth reprinting here, for your thoughtful consideration.

Make of them what you will. I know I did.

who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect
has intended us to forgo their use.

enjoy the privilege to do so, too.

patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.

Great Moments: The Birth Of The Internet

I have not lost my mind…

Yeah things have been slow around here for a bit. I’m still waiting on that famous site upgrade… latest news on that is apparently the mockup is ready for viewing, so hopefully I should see something in the next few days. Posts have been slow of late mainly due to work and (to be fair) an unhealthy obsession with Battlefield 2. All of which will change in about a week or so, once I get back from some vacation. At that stage it will be time to get back some focus back and start making some changes.. here and elsewhere. So for now - you get a quote (from me!) and nothing much else as yet while I wait for this legendary site update. Cross ‘em if you’ve got ‘em
