GREAT SEX IN A BOTTLE !!

So it's 6:37 on a Sunday morning. I'm up because my new cat and I haven't come to an agreement about where he's gonna sleep: Shadow wants to sleep ON my face. I want him to sleep anywhere else. Especially since he kneeds his paws in his sleep. Ow.

Anyway, I stumble to the computer and check my e-mail. And what do I see?

GREAT SEX IN A BOTTLE !!!!!

All caps and too many exclamation points. This will, most likely, not be good.

I try to consider any way this could be legit. I think "Is this in regards to the query about absinthe that I posted a few weeks back? A witty reference to the "Candy is dandy/but liquor is quicker" thing?" Alas. No. It's spam. I read it anyway.

It begins:
It's HOT, It's a Solution, and It's Guaranteed!
"How are they gonna ship it if it's hot? In a thermos? and well, DUH. If it's in a bottle it's pretty obvious it's a solution, not a solid.
And on that last one, "Guaranteed", oh no. I've been doing tech support for far too long. You didn't say "Guaranteed" to do anything. So if it doesn't do whatever you haven't promised you can say "Oh, it's guaranteed to be wet." and I get nothing!

Men and Women of all ages now have the Ultimate Solution!
To what? What are you talking about? The Ultimate Solution to LIFE, THE UNIVERSE and EVERYTHING? TO World Hunger? Be specific!

The #1 BEST SELLING 100% ALL NATURAL APHRODISIAC IN AMERICA!
Ah. Now it becomes clear.
Several points. Point the first:
Arsenic is ALL NATURAL. Cyanide is ALL NATURAL. My poop is ALL NATUR...well, maybe not my poop. But you get my point.

Point the second:
#1 BEST SELLING? As opposed to, what? The #7 best selling? Department of redundancy department.

Point the third:
Document it.



Do you want to improve your Sex Life?
Well, sure! Who doesn....
<macho voice>
Consarn it! Yuh cain't improve on perfection! If Ah wuz any better in bed, Ah'd have uh Kama-Sutra position named after me!
</macho voice> (anyone ever notice how much Fenris's <macho voice> sounds exactly like Yosemite Sam?)

Our product is an all Natural Herbal formula that is guaranteed to
increase your sexual performance!

Why does this sound like a shampoo commercial? (except for the "sexual performance" part?

ALL NEW LATHERIFIC shampoo! An all Natural Herbal formula 'specially designed to make your follicles get niiiice and haaaaaaard!

Again, it's all natural so your body doesn't get harmful side effects.
Again, like arsenic, curare, or cyanide?

You'll be "in the mood" more often and enjoy sex anywhere, anytime, and to the fullest extent.
How can I be "in the mood" more often? I'm a guy fer cryin' out loud! You can't get more often than 100 freakin' percent of the time. I have exactly 3 neurons that I use for breathing, eating and deficating. The rest is devoted to sex.

Our product can really put the spark right back in your relationship!
<sob> One must have a relationship, for a spark to be put back into it. <sob> Thanks for bringing up the anguish that is my life, dicknut.

To learn more and to take advantage of our special offer visit our link below!
So I went. And I'm hit with a message that said "I've had fantastic sex but this stuff made me feel like I had rockets shooting out everywhere...rockets!!!" and I'm thinking "I've had that feeling too, but only after the unfortunate accident with on the Fourth of July.

I read down further and find out that it can cure my PMS and Menopause as well as give me NATURALLY TRIGGEREd ERECTIONS (as opposed to, what? Radio controlled ones?)

Anyway, I'm not bothered by my PMS or Menopause, and if I think about sex more, I'll probably die from lack of breathing. So, thanks, but no thanks!

Fenris

I had great sex in a bottle once.

Had a hell of a time getting my penis back out though.

Oh, yeah, like you didn't know someone was going to come up with that!

Nononono..!

It's not "hot", temperature-wise. It's HOT. Stolen. Probably off the back of truck in a toxic waste depot. It's turning their skin black, because it's also HOT. Radioactive! That's why it's so darned effective! It puts a nuclear blast in every orgasm! It gives you that tingly, just-been-irradiated feel, for a great after-sex glow!

essvee, you are WAY behind. they've gone far beyond mere "liquid fuck" now!
the new standard is "fuck gas" (it fills the volume!) and "plasmatic fuck" (now with free-associating ions!).

in fact, the cutting edge stuff is now "fuck strangelets" (who knows what the hell they do!) and "exotic matter fuck" (warping reality, one fuck at a time!).

why, there's even stranger stuff being developed now, stuff like "singularity fuck" (it'll DRAW YOU IN!) and "fuck glassite expansive crystal lattice" (it's like ICE, man!).


i mean, really. get with the times!

If I could have sex in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do.
Is to save every fuck 'till eternity passes away,
Just to spend it with you.

Given that Sting has already sold out for car commercials, and used to claim 8 hour tantric sex sessions, I see a real synergy here....

On a related note, I heard a radio ad this morning with the following (somewhat paraphrased):
"Did you know that 60% of women are dissatisfied with their man's size."
"Gentlemen, now you know, size DOES matter."
"Product X [can't remember the name] is a topical cream that can add up to 3" to your size."

How's that for playing into insecurities......?

A huge 12 incher.
Trying to get past my poor jaw.

IIiiiii get fine pleasure
From your penis,
It never has gone way too far.

That I can swallow.
I'll take you just the way you are.

The ones I love are:

"We had this poor guy come in, and he hadn't had a date in years. But after our patented hair removal system got rid of that unsightly BACK HAIR he's busy every night!"

I never knew that women were so repulsed by back hair. Especially since most guys I know keep their shirts on when asking women for dates.

That ad is HORRIBLE! The whole time I'm thinking, "If she's that shallow, you probably ought to throw her to the curb right now!"

"Will she still feel the same if you're bald?"

"Sure she will. She'll just feel it about someone else."

Bleah.

And what song do you think is going to be stuck in my head tonight at work? This is bad! I have a 12 hour shift comming up from 3pm to 3am and this is what I have to look forward to?
Oh yes my friend, you will pay for this.


Zette when I first saw that commercial I thought what a shallow bitch. And I laughed. It's sad really.
If she is that upset over hair loss gods forbid he get in a disfiguring accident!

Pheromonic Phenomenon

Well, this proposition interests me more than somewhat, and I insert the item into a party who is called Google, and Google comes up with several statistics, and he says to me as follows:


'Why, there are 142 cites for Great Sex In A Bottle, if that is what you wish, and who can say this is wrong.

Also, if you do not wish your sex to be great, in the matter of bottles anyway, I have 1090 items of Sex In A Bottle, which by no means promise greatness, or at least the greatness does not feature on the label.

Furthermore, in the matter of Super Sex In A Bottle, I make the total 43 sources, and I am wondering why super is considered greater than great, by a factor of 3, or maybe more.

I am such a guy who is a search engine, and I am just around, and various parties wish my opinion on this, and that, and I am happy to give my opinion, for what that is worth.

Now, many of these citizens are fond of requesting details of orgasms, and how these orgasms are obtained, and one thing and another, and it is a surprise to me how little these citizens know of orgasms, for they are a source of no little curiosity around these parts.

So I put Orgasm In A Bottle into myself, and I come up with 273, and I compare this number with Great Sex In A Bottle, which is 142, and I am surprised to see that it is possible to obtain such orgasms without having sex, even with a bottle.

Well, since I am alone around here, and doing not much at this time, I check on Masturbation In A Bottle, and I observe 24 references to this much underrated activity, and if you will excuse me, I am going offline for a spell, as I am busy with a spot of research, and this research is of a most private nature, so no peeping, if you do not mind.'

An airline liquor bottle? I thought he got it stuck because it was huge. All the male moderators have huge penises, don't they? Isn't that in the job specs or something?

that's what they keep saying, anyway...

An ad in my local newspaper:

"Women of the World .......
It's your turn now!!

Are you looking for a Natural way to enhance intimacy and sexual pleasure for you and your partner? Did you know there is a new product designed specifically for you by a well known OB-GYN? This all-natural solution produces Intense positive results with no side effects! Women across the country are loving it and your partner will agree! For more info on how to purchase or become a distributor, call ..."


I like the way they made the vague aphrodisiacal claims more sleazy by combining 'em with an Amway-style marketing scheme.
