Normally I don’t post news on this blog because I like to keep things as dating and relationship related as possible but I just can’t pass up including this story here.

A dwarf performer at the Edinburgh fringe festival had to be rushed to hospital after his penis got stuck to a vacuum cleaner during an act that went horribly awry.

Daniel Blackner, or Captain Dan the Demon Dwarf, was due to perform at the Circus of Horrors at the festival known for its oddball, offbeat performances.

The main part of his act was for him to appear on stage with a vacuum cleaner attached to his member with a special apparatus.

The attachment broke before the performance and Blackner tried to fix it using extra-strong glue, but unfortunately only let it dry for 20 seconds instead of the 20 minutes required.

He then joined it directly to his organ. The end result? A solid attachment, laughter, mortification and … hospitalisation.

“It was the most embarrassing moment of my life when I got wheeled into a packed emergency room with a vacuum attached to me,” Blackner said.

“I just wished the ground could swallow me up. Luckily, they saw me quickly so the embarrassment was short-lived.”

Now, how exciting was YOUR day?

A good friend of mine in Canada sent this to me today and I cracked up. Men don’t realize how good all these statements are if they’re hankering for a good time in the bedroom. These are circulating the net via email but they come from a book called “Porn for Women” by The Cambridge Women’s Pornography Cooperative. The words alone would have done it for me so the sexy bodies were an added treat. There’s nothing sexier than a man helping with the dishes or putting a load in the washer.

You can get the Porn for Women paperback at Amazon.

A friend sent me a link to this young doctor’s blog and it’s terrific. It gives you a behind the scenes look at the reality of what it is to become a doctor. They’re human after all. Check out Agraphia.net.

I have a vivid memory of laughing hysterically at a sitcom when I was younger. The dialog went something like this:

Patient: What is it, doc?
Doctor: I’m afraid I have some bad news, son. It’s cancer. Penis cancer.

This morning we had a whole lecture on penis cancer, and I am here to tell you… it’s not funny. Not at all†. There is nothing funny about penis cancer. In fact, penis cancer is some of the most revolting, vile stuff we’ve seen so far.

†except for the word penis. That will always be funny.

We have the BEST commercials to combat bad driving. It implies that every man who drives like an idiot has a small penis. I crack up every time I see it. Here it is.
