                                           Seat of female libido revealed

The precise part of the brain likely to be the seat of heterosexual desire in women has been revealed by experiments on mice.

The study confirms that the hormone oestrogen is vital for arousal, but only in the specific area of the brain called the ventromedial nucleus (VMN) in the hypothalamus.

Sonoko Ogawa of the University of Tsukuba in Japan and her collaborators in the US discovered this by blocking the effects of oestrogen exclusively in that part of the brain in mice. They did this with tiny slugs of genetic material called small hairpin RNAs designed to block production of oestrogen receptor alpha, the molecule where oestrogen docks on cells in the VMN and elsewhere in the body.

They used a harmless virus to shuttle the RNAs exclusively into the VMN, so that oestrogen signals would only be blocked there and nowhere else in the body. The effect was dramatic - the females refused to have sex.

The precise part of the brain likely to be the seat of heterosexual desire in women has been revealed by experiments on mice.

The study confirms that the hormone oestrogen is vital for arousal, but only in the specific area of the brain called the ventromedial nucleus (VMN) in the hypothalamus.

Sonoko Ogawa of the University of Tsukuba in Japan and her collaborators in the US discovered this by blocking the effects of oestrogen exclusively in that part of the brain in mice. They did this with tiny slugs of genetic material called small hairpin RNAs designed to block production of oestrogen receptor alpha, the molecule where oestrogen docks on cells in the VMN and elsewhere in the body.

They used a harmless virus to shuttle the RNAs exclusively into the VMN, so that oestrogen signals would only be blocked there and nowhere else in the body. The effect was dramatic - the females refused to have sex.

“They became extremely aggressive towards males, and started biting and kicking when males approached,” says Ogawa. The females refused to mate and none of them showed the usual signs of sexual receptivity. By contrast, control females injected with neutral RNAs mated as usual.

“Disruption of normal oestrogen signalling only in this region while leaving it intact elsewhere in the brain and the rest of the body is sufficient to completely block normal female courtship behaviour,” says Ogawa.

She says that the VMN has long been suspected to be the seat of female desire, but experiments in mice genetically engineered to have no oestrogen receptor alpha anywhere in the body failed to prove this because they affected all receptors, not just those in the VMN. Blocking signals just in the VMN has now shown “unambiguously” that this is where female sexual behaviour is controlled, say the researchers.  Link

In a follow-up to the mouse experiment , the researchers plan to investigate the effect on human females of a diet of rancid cheese.

[geekybob]

Scientists were able to stop oestrogen from reaching the VMN by feeding the mice wedding cake. Mice in a control group, fed birthday cake, mated as usual.

[Flavius Maximus]

Actually, all it has shown is that this is true of mice. It is foolish and unscientific to extend it to humans without specific studies.

[DrLang]

Actually, all it has shown is that this is true of mice. It is foolish and unscientific to extend it to humans without specific studies.

Actually many things in mouse brain anatomy and chemistry extend to humans. The cause of Parkinsins disease was first discovered in rats. Note the article said this is LIKELY that this is the the center of sexual desire in human females. They arn't so crazy as to declare it as fact until further human studies have been done.

[Cute]

Give me a fucking break. Nice fucking pictures. They are about as funny as some stupid "male/female remote control" joke spam.

Shove your fascist cunt book up your ass. Like someone who calls for violence knows anything about god.

[skeptic]

How do they know that the virus which affects that part of the brain didn't cause the response, as opposed to the receptor blocking? It seems as though they needed a third control group having the virus was injected with no horomone blocker. The study only proved that they know how to make female mice aggressive and irritable, but never defined whether the virus or the horomone blocking was responsible.

[Steel]

Oh my, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning - DIDN'T THEY?

Since you are new around here let me explain the rules.

They are very few and extremely simple.

I am Steel.

The is The Steel Deal.

That means I am kinda like the card dealer 'round here.

Actually, I do live in Reno NV.

Let's see which card I deal to YOU.

Oh my ... it is the GO FUCK YOURSELF card.

Bad luck for you.

So sorry.

Try again next time.

And in the meantime, stop by anytime.

Just keep you mouth shut - your ass is showin through.

[Steel]

I didn't even know they had broken the blood/brain barrier myself.

[Phoenix]

>Shove your facist cunt book up your ass.

Obviously, Cute's head is up hers. She just wants company. hahahahahaha!

I like the 'oil into the car' bit. It would be microscopic on my brain. (Although I do take care of my cars. It's just guided by knowledge, not instinct.)

oooooooh.... hahahahahaha. The comments are too funny!!! Why are people such fools about this stuff?

Using mice to study this is good. You wouldn't want to use actual humans, for crying out loud. Can't be having a bunch of 'control group' womens out humping everything in the lab including the radiator and fire extinguishers.

oh dear.... have to run.... my shoe-buying center has been activated..... or maybe it's the ice cream sundae center. Doesn't matter - it's P L E A S U R E I'm after, don't. you. know. LOL !!!!!! Oh. WAIT. Bring me a nice Manolo Blahnik hardon with a cherry on top. ....considering mine's long gone.......

[Phoenix]

>the VMN has long been suspected to be the seat of female desire, but experiments in mice genetically engineered to have no oestrogen receptor alpha anywhere in the body failed to prove this because they affected all receptors, not just those in the VMN<

This should answer your observation, Skeptic. As well, the females became irritated only when the males tried to mate. Otherwise, the female mice gossiped and talked about shoes with the other mice and and were very friendly.

[God]

>Shove your fascist cunt book up your ass. Like someone who calls for violence knows anything about god.<

Cute,

Kindly capitalize my name before I beat your head-stuffed ass. I love violence. I wrote a great book with a lot of violence in it. Check it out sometime.

[Richard]

I usually have a sense of humor about these things, but this is pathetic. Who wrote this crap article? huh huh, women are trophies. I like pissing all over the place and can't be bothered to clean up after myself because these are the only gender roles I understand. I contribute by occasionally fixing something and then making snide comments about how lucky the little lady is to have me. That's because I'm the enlightened one. I know what a Serpentine belt is and that is a constant reminder of my superiority over women. Are we really still stuck in the fifties? What kind of desperate societal recidivism is this?

[Jesus Christ]

Yeah! What HE said!

[Steel]

Oh my!

Somebody ELSE woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

Let's what card Richard gets ...

Oops, another GO FUCK YOURSELF card.

I must've stacked the deck.

Better luck next time.

[Richard]

Cute Steel, very cute. Get a job.

[Steel]

You voted for Kerry didn't you?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Too bad.

Better luck next time.

Try again.

[Richard]

Beats the hell out of selling your friends to the US Government in exchange for a fat profit by Haliburton and the Carlyle group. Kerry wasn't much of aleader. At least Bush has a Houdini-like ability to disguise his shadiness behind a thin venire of "honest simplicity". It's a rigged game, but I keep playing because it's the only game in town. Nobody remembers that Bush's daddy profiteered on the war, but they all remember that he's been "misunderestimated."

[Janesatool]

You're a douchebag. YOu're also a very shallow man, whom has probably never dated a women with an IQ above 60. Do you want a crowbar to help you remove your head from your ass?

[Ungood]

In the 1970's, similar experiments in human subjects were a complete failure.

The female human subjects injected with VMN only wanted to eat cheese and watch Hawaii 5-0

[Steel]

That mantra and .50 will get you another card Richard.

But I think I can divine what it might be.

You've been listening to too much NPR and watching too much Jon Stewart.

Rotted your brain.

I hear they'll take you in the military until you're 42 now.

They might help unplug your head from your ass.

Failing that, I recommend a full rectal lobotomy.

[Steel]

Janesatool ...

Ya got spellchek on that there machine?

Take 'er out fer a spin.

See how she runs.

[Richard]

Had any friends die in Iraq? No? Didn't think so. Do you even know anyone over there? No again? Not really surprising. It never ceases to amaze me that the lower classes will actively choose people who are acting against their best interests as long as that person doesn't intimidate them with their intelligence or alienate them with their well reasoned arguments. In the constantly repeated words of your parents, first when you dropped out of high school, then again when you impregnated your sister, "I'm not angry. I'm just disappointed."

[Richard]

Here's a little piece for you on your own little idol, Coulter.
http://worshiptheglitch.com/2006/06/henry-rollins-love-letter-to-ann.html

[Steel]

Wrong on all accounts Richard, which certainly comes as no surprise to me.

Every been in the military?

Naw, I didn't think so.

I have.

When your poppa was dodgin' the draft.

I've taught post graduate level, Dick.

You?

Naw, I didn't think so.

I feel a card trick comin' on ...

Pick a card - any card.

Okay, now, look at it and don't tell me what it is.

__________________________________________________

It's the GO FUCK YOURSELF card isn't it?

Damn I'm good.

[Steel]

Rollins is good man.

He ain't a pussy like you.

BTW. You need some help with that HTML?

All this time, I thought having my very own troll would be ... somehow, more fun.

Maybe it's the quality of the troll.

Yeah, that's it.

You suck.

[Richard]

Now you've stepped into dangerous ground. What's your post graduate work in, chode?

[Steel]

Did I say I had a degree Richard, or is that an assumption on your part?

You know what they say about assumptions doncha?

[Richard]

Uh huh. Pathetic. I'm done with this. You can't defend yourself and raping the powerless is a republican thing. Good luck Steel. I hope you wake up one of these days.

[Steel]

I'll let you have the last word.

[Joker]

All I know is that my fiance was just in the kitchen wearing a skirt and loading the dishwasher. I found this the perfect opportunity to bend her over and have a little breakfast nookie. What can we conclude from this? Apparently the male libido is enabled when the female is in the kitchen.

And for the record, we're both fairly liberal and she has a masters degree. Life is good.

[Russell]

Um. Excuse me Richard, or can I call you Dick? Ok, excuse me Dick I'm sorry but I didn't see any gender bias at all in the actual article just a picture upholding gender stereotypes put in at random during a scientific article.

(Or is it an scientific article? Does the article refer to the noun or the adjective modifying it? I'm sorry I must be one of those good for nothing high school dropouts you were talking about. Except, wait there's the diploma and I somehow got 2 years of college credits in 6 months. Oh yeah I remember now. Learning to operate nuclear reactors for the Navy gave me those credits. Oh well back to the a/an thing maybe I should call some of my friends back home up and ask them. Oh shit they all joined the Marines and are dieing to try to give the rest of the world the right to call the military worthless pieces of shit. So now everyone can be just like you and that would make you happy wouldn't it. Sorry guess I'll never be good at the grammar thing.)

Where was I? Ok yeah. Random picture that's right. If you don't think it's funny ok say so but you don't have to resort to juvenile mudslinging because someone doesn't agree with you. Just go on with your life it will all be ok why should you get pissy because someone you'll never meet thinks differently than you.

And you really need to get together with your über liberal buddies about whether republicans are lower class scum or if they rape the powerless. Because the two statements simply aren't compatible.

Oh and janesatool before you start insulting me I've never dated a woman with less than a 130 IQ so get over it.

[Seraphim]

Steel-
It never fails to amaze me. A man tells a military person that their comments about women are offensive, and the only comeback is that the man must be a pussy. Well your comments about women are very offensive to me, a man. I voted for Bush and have been a lifelong Republican. But what does this have to do with anything? Nothing. However, depicting women in the above manner shows your fear of and disrespect for women. Only women who are weak mentally or have very low self-respect (or out of fear) would want to be around someone like you. I respect my wife and treat her as well as I can. In turn my wife respects me and treats me very well. If I expressed your opinions about women, I would expect her to leave me. But like almost all military people I know, you hide your fear behind aggressiveness and your low self-esteem behind misguided hawkish patriotism.
Remember, in the military you are either the manipulator or the manipulated. Unfortunately, it is clear you are the manipulated. To teach "post-graduate" classes and to have such contempt for another human is amazing. Obviously you know more than your detractors because you can insult them and claim superior knowledge. I shutter that you are an example of higher-education. And about fucking myself, I don't have to, I have a wife that likes to.

[Tom]

I wonder if check bar and chain oil in chainsaw is related to the check oil in car gland???

[Tennessee Mike]

That picture is funny as shit...however, you forgot the "I gotta have a stinkin' baby" response center (Which turns into the "This is your fuckin' fault!..." gland during pregnancy..)

[Steel]

The only problem is - I didn't say anything, 'cept for a facetious remark about trouble, and any woman with a brain cell, would agree with me about that.

I don't know what the fucking problem is.

I didn't write the damned article you bozo.

Can't you read?

Some dude named 'Andy' wrote it.

Go snivel to him - just follow that link (the red thing that says 'LINK') and go have at Mr. Whatever his fuckin' name is.

I didn't draw the damned pictures neither, I confess! I found them on Google. So shoot me why doncha?

Man, this troll business isn't NEAR as much fun as I thought it would be.

I figured havin' trolls would be the answer to my prayers.

Somebody all my own that I can kick around.

BUT NOOOOOOOO!

You fuckers are flat out S T U P I D.

Go back to Troll Central and find me some REAL trolls.

I'm talkin' somebody with a brain big enough that if I was to convert it to fuel ('alternative' of course) and put it in a pissant's motorcycle - the damned thing would at least go around the inside of a small Cheerio.

[Richard]

Actually Russ, English grammar has degenerated to the point where either 'a' or 'an' is considered acceptable. I'm afraid your friends are dying to line Cheney's pockets. Sorry. You are, however, correct in your assertion that I missed the separation of the image from the article. It also seems to me that your biting sarcasm is wildly misplaced. I didn't resort to personal attacks until I had endured a number of them. My frustration was focused on the contents of, from all appearances, the contents of an article. In response to your further statements, Last year I made $21,000. I am lower class "scum" as you put it. I never stated or implied that the lower classes are scum. That's a typical scare tactic of the right that I was sighting. Fear the liberals because they hate you. The liberals don't tend to rob you of your pension or send your children to die to spike oil prices and simultaneously secure future supply for Exxon-Mobil. It's the place of the Republican party to mislead the public and then take advantage of them. I'm just curious as to why they keep falling for it. I'm in a similar position and I don't see where the motive to back big oil. The motive can't be economic interest. Is it abortion or homophobia?

[Phoenix]

I cannot BELIEVE this! This is the funniest thing I've read in ages. Everyone is yelling at everyone else and bringing up the military and politics? What? This is an article about some research on a gland, for crying out loud. Steel didn't write it.

oh HA HA. The picture is hilarious. I am a woman, and I think it's a riot. That's because I don't take myself too seriously. I also know there is a MATCHING portrait of the male to go with this picture that is even funnier. They are parodies. Not to be taken seriously!

Everyone needs to lighten up here. If you can't laugh at yourself, you just end up unhappy and mad at someone else.

Now I'm off to change the oil in my car and chop down a tree. hahahahahaha !

[OINK]

A SCIENCE BREAK -- from Billingsgate:

I received an email link to this story:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/em/fr/-/2/hi/health/5120004.stm

ANOTHER bullshit study on the "cause of homosexuality", featuring the totally expected:
1. Murky premise
2. Uncertain results in a field justly famous for Zero results
3. An Agenda you can smell like shit on a shoe.

Crock. As if an immensely complex behavior like "homosexuality" can be treated just like the cause of the thickness of your left thumbnail. There's no single gene that controls that, either. Social Science has been a total flop on finding the "cause", so we're driven to seek THE physical cause.

I'm not saying that investigating homosexuality is wrong. But come on you Gays and Straights: It's just ONE variation in a huge universe of human sexual polymorphism.

Now, you can all go back to fucking yourself... whatever.

[Steel]

...It never ceases to amaze me that the lower classes will actively choose people who are acting against their best interests as long as that person doesn't intimidate them with their intelligence or alienate them with their well reasoned arguments...

Now Richard, YOU were the first to toss out the class issue.

You would do well to actually remember what you say.

[Steel]

Do you want me to fetch that other diagram, honey?

[Phoenix]

Now, to expand on the ever-lasting labyrinthian turns and twists of The Steel Deal threads, Oink plunks in homosexuality.

Thank you, Oink.

HA HA HA HA HA HA........... Oh, and about those Greeks............

[Phoenix]

YES, Steel. PUT IT UP. P L E A S E.

Get some sanity back here........ I've been weeping laughing...... my face hurts...

[Charlie]

hahahhaaaaa! I love how all these people are getting so worked up over this article. Or rather, they're getting worked up over some poor schmoe's hastily assembled slam on women (the above pics) as a result of his frustration with the "fairer sex." So just because some dude got pissed off and made a picture, you're going to villify him? I bet this: were it a girl who was frustrated with her man, and she poured brake fluid all over his car, you guys would be cheering her on. Admit it.

such hypocrisy.

[Phoenix]

Hey, Oink,

'Billingsgate' means coarse or abusive language.

What kind of publication is that you've cited?

[Phoenix]

Hey, good point, Charlie.... I am Steel's 'fairer sex' and I can assure you Steel has more respect for women than any man I've ever known. For the rest who are quick to judge Steel based on this silly parody, check out the rest of his blog and you'll see he loves and holds women in high esteem. If he does make fun of them, he is just as quick to make fun of men.

Tolerance is the deal here...... Seriously. It's all in fun....

[Richard]

You are correct, I did bring up the class issue first. I did not initiate the political segment. I did not mean to offend anyone with it. It seems to me that because poor people can't typically go to college without busting twice the ass anyone else does, they are consistently taken advantage of for their lack of knowledge. I've also seen the "liberals hate you because they think you are beneath them" ploy too often. I think that class is an inherent part of the issue I was addressing though. The touch stone is just an image. As I said, normal I can find that variety of humor entertaining. I did not find it amusing in the context of scientific news. It is just an image, and the discussion was facilitated by a misunderstanding, and I apologize for not pausing to look a little closer for going off. That being said, it has brought up another issue that I am curious about. I want to know in all sincerity why people voted for Bush.

[Steel]

Honey?

Will you please tell all these nice people how big an asshole I REALLY am?

BTW. I fudged when I posted the 'female' brain.

I added the ice cream sundae.

Why?

Because I fucking CAN.

[Steel]

Is that a trick question?

Because he WASN'T Kerry.

Because Cheney didn't run.

Because Atilla the Hun is DEAD.

Pick a fuckin' reason.

They all work for me.

[OINK]

Phoenix: That's what it means. Appropriate to this topic.

You mean the link to BBC Health News? I respect the real Social Sciences, but it's rare. Too much agenda-driven nonsense with predetermined results. Even I can see cracks in most of these studies within five minutes. In the Physical Sciences, they don't reveal to the 'sorters' which is the control group.

[Russell]

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Ok I never meant to be the one to start calling names. I'm at work and even though this site could be considered informational the large colorful graphics don't look professional and the skipper might get a little upset. I read your comments quickly and must have inserted the implication in my own mind. So I apologize to you for thinking you made that comment. And please no one troll me for saying "lower class scum". I don't mean to insult anyone. I've lived with my brother and mother in a household making less than 15k/yr and I've also lived with my dad and stepmother in a household making greater than 150k/yr so I've seen both sides of the coin. The only thing I hold against someone in the lower classes is if they don't honestly try to make a better life for themselves and their families and then bitch about how unfair life is. I understand society doesn't actively encourage one to better themselves but for God's sake people take some initiative.

[Richard]

Right on, Russell. Misunderstanding happen.

[Steel]

You have nothing to apologize for, Russell.

[Russell]

BTW Phoenix you are in fact God (not like that pretender to the throne earlier. and what does that make steel? Mary mother of Jesus? Juna? or maybe he's Frey and She's Freya. That could explain why the interest in what part of the brain makes women horny.)

People need to calm down and laugh a little.

[Steel]

My brother was in the first tests of a new H5N1 vaccine 2 years ago.

Triple blind.

He explained this way.

A. Gets the real stuff.

B. Gets fake stuff.

C. They ALL get exposed to the virus.

So I asked him, 'Well yeah, but, how do you know if it worked?'

Boy, he sure looked at me funny.

[Steel]

Wait. A Minute.

I thought that WAS God.

Are you sayin' he wasn't?

Crap, and here I've been on my best behavior for nothin'.

[Russell]

no that was Dog earlier which explains why so many assholes showed up they wanna be licked

[Russell]

the pussies showed up at the begining because they heard female and libido in the same sentence and they too wanted licked

[Steel]

Just between you and me,

I believe that was the dear Phoenix.

We do that a lot around here - use funny names apropos to a given comment.

Keeps 'em guessin'.

Sometime, if you want a kick, go back through the archives and look for a comment thread that has a inordinate amount of comments.

That would be the locals around here mixin' it UP and it will hurt your face you'll laugh so hard.

[Russell]

shhh don't tell me it wasn't God he/she/it/IDGARA is real and takes a vested interest in every website on the internet. (although on a serious note I told you it was her :-P )

She went for a nap and now I am going to also.

Sometimes TSD comments are more amusing than the original post. Case in point: this thread, a classic example of my timeless observation that liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views.

TSD Readers have been known to get very pissed and post blistering comments, but usually such comments are penned by those who haven't read TSD long enough to understand that when carefully examining the human condition, it is our ability to laugh that keeps us from going insane.

Yeah, what William said.

[Steel]

Hell OINK ...

The only time I see that brother is when we are out on the town of Reno.

He lives in upstate New York.

I can only recall so much of what he said and that's a damned miracle in itself, considering what we up to when he told me.

All I know is that he lived, so something worked out okay.

[Ann Coulter]

Liberals have a preternatural gift for striking a position on the side of treason. You could be talking about Scrabble and they would instantly leap to the anti-American position. Everyone says liberals love America. No they don't. Whenever the nation is under attack,from within or without, liberals side with the enemy. That's their essence.

Okay. Now I'm going to send this in a TOTALLY different direction.
I was listening to an old ZZ Top song the one that has "She wore a pearl necklace" in it-and the DJ said that it was a porno term. I always thought-innocent me-that it was jewelry.
I'm sure i'm going to regret asking...but in that song what does "pearl necklace" refer to?
Hey...I stayed on the topic of sex...LOL

[Nick]

Steel, you're my hero.
It's funny. You'd think someone that would put in the effort to annoy the fuck out of someone in comments like these, that also claims to be more 'worthy' (as it were) than the author, would have something better to do than to troll. :)

Two thumbs up!

[Steel]

Thanks Nick.

I usually spend my time finding stuff to talk ABOUT.

Phoenix usually runs the comments and she talks way better'n me.

But I really had my hopes up for some decent trollage.

I reckon, I'll have to find better bait.

[OINK]

Barb: You just ruined that ZZ Top song for me.
I've heard those lyrics wrong from day one, just like you have. I thought it was kinda sexy i.e. that pearls were ALL she wore. Instead it's just sorta explicit and nasty.

And you can look up the term for yourself on Google -- 20,800 hits ...but my advice is to stick with your innocence.

As to THE SONG, that is. SNORT!
*****************
NOW, on to Steels next topic, "Why Don't You F*ck Yourself In the Ear You Scumbag Troll You". SNORT!

[Russell]

Come'on people we've cursed each other out enough that explaining the term "pearl neclace" isn't going to lower the respectability of the thread.

Before I explain I have one question. How did the line "that's not jewlery she's talk'n 'bout, realy don't cost that much" not signal that its not an acual neclace?

Ok so one source I've seen simply explained a "pearl neclace" as an orgasm. Ok not much too dirty about that. But the term in modern slang is used to describe when a man directs his ejaculation at someone's face/neck. Which almost looks like a pearl neclace.

ok it's been fun going on this informational journey with you guys, but the wife's VMN just got alot of oestrogen and she wants some pearls :)

[annoying little twerp]

I knew I was going to regret asking. LOL
And Russell: I'm not a big ZZ fan-so I wasn't really paying attention to the lyrics-'cept for that line.

[Al Muhajer]

Could this be hormone blocking be used for teenage daughters? That would greatly reduce stress in many middle age adults. Make a more serene peaceful world.

[Phoenix]

Abu,

Last time you were on, you claimed to be Zarqawi's replacement. Now you're worried about your teenage daughters? Don't you guys just kill them if they look at a guy? That would sure reduce some stress for the parents. Just get rid of the kid. Ahh, for a more serene, peaceful world.....

[Phoenix]

Russell !

Ha. Ha. Ha.

Nothing like a few jewels to keep her happy.....

Oh well. At least them pearls are cheap....

[OINK]

The line is "She WANTS a pearl necklace" -- not "WORE"

Secondly, this Topic is setting records in length, and DEPTH -- as in, closeness to the bottom.

LASTLY! -- I had thought the lyrics a pleasant erotic fantasy of a naked lady wearing only a pearl neclace

(a quote I really like)

"I didn't expect her to counter my plan with nakedness"

[Russell]

um... oink? could you please listen to the song again before correcting someone on the lyrics?

I know its not grammaticaly correct but the song says "she want a (or just wanna) pearl necklace"

Ok love ya bye-bye

[Russell]

Length, depth, girth, whatever. Doesn't it all help with the female libido which is what this was originaly all about?

[OINK]

Thanks for the correction, Russ.

The quote isn't original with me, but I own it. Regardless, I'm working real hard on getting that ZZ Top line outta my head.

[Dr. Ruth]

Oh, and zie "zinging" unit is zie BEZT zing for raizing zie female libido!

[lori]

Dang,
I'm away for just a day and half, and look what I missed! You guys get to have all the fun :)!

And Steel...I have to reinforce what Phoenix said about your respect and admiration for women. You are a gentleman, and as a woman, I have always felt very respected by you, and I also hold you in the highest esteem. (hugs all around...well, if any of us were actually touchy-feely types, which we are definitely not...but, I probably would give you a hug if I could :)).

[Dr. Phil]

Okay, folks! Today's topic is how to please your lady with jewels. Pearls have always been such a delight. I know my wife loves them so. It makes her feel good about herself and raises her self-esteem which is a good thing if you've read my books beyond the first page. Have you been depressed lately? Finding yourself lost and lonely and in need of some enhancement to brighten up your day? Check out your libido. Is it running? Don't worry ladies. With very little effort, we can fix you right up with some nice pearls. It's kind of like taking cough medicine you can't stand. Remember the trauma of having your father hold your mouth open while he jammed and poured the cough syrup down? Okay! Now that you've regenerated that thought, get rid of it. Just leave the open-mouth memory intact. Okay! Time to break for commercial.... We'll be right back to describe how to bedeck your blues with jewels of pearlescent white.

[ZZ Top]

Yo. Doctor Root,

What's this 'zinging' yer talkin' 'bout? Is that like what I do?

[Dottie]

Wow, Steel - 88 comments for one post.........with a few trolls............I noticed with interest in one post from Richard pertaining to the "skipper" - I wonder who he meant............We all know only one person who goes by the name of "skipper" - wouldn't be surprised if he is lurking onto your site!!!!!!

[Captain Queeg]

I know one skipper who is holding very tightly to his very small balls right now. In fact, he's wishing real hard he'd never started those balls rolling in the first place.

[Desperate Housewife?]

>Check out your libido. Is it running? <

Okay, Dr. Feel. I'm over 40 and have been married for almost 20 years, and that female libido just seems to have gone missing. I usually find your advice to be worthless and laughable, but I must admit I am duly intrigued by this subject.

>We'll be right back to describe how to bedeck your blues with jewels of pearlescent white.<

Hmmmm...are you referring to MY depression over my lack of libido, or HIS resulting blue balls?

Please...tell us more. I rarely have trouble opening my mouth, but my mind and another unmentionable part seem to prefer to remain quite tightly closed. Can you help me, Dr. Feel!

[ZZ Top]

'Dis what I be singin' 'bout, Dr. Root:

When I woke up this morning
I was feeling mighty good.
My baby understood had to do what she should
Lying near a pile of wood.
Laying it on some,
Playing with it some
When I, I woke up with wood.

[OINK]

It amazes me when mouth breathers like Richard-head talk about war & oil. Without oil: no electricity, no transportation -- we'd have to evacuate our cities and go back to subsistence farming. Maybe 200 million starve?
Richard, IMMEDIATELY sue every school you ever attended. They left you ignorant, pleading to be a victim, and unfit to live.

[Dr Mik]

I cant believe I just sat and read through all the above posts. God I must be bored. Either that or I hate my job.

[Russell]

Dottie-

I couldn't find anywhere that richard made a refrence to a "skipper" however I did and I was talking about the CO of the base I'm on

[lori]

>God I must be bored. Either that or I hate my job. <

It seems you'll fit right in here, then, Dr. Mik :). We're all just here to have fun, and believe me, we do.

I think this thread may be eligible for the records book for number of comments, though, at least since I've been around.

[Russell]

Ok people this makes comment #97 lets break 100 by the weekend.

Since we've gotten on the subject of song lyrics... Is Life in the Fast Lane by The Eagles more about drugs or sex or is it just about debauchery in general?

And speaking of meanings of songs {cue opening of can of worms} WTF is Stairway to Heaven all about?

97 [my html skills failed me i tried to make the number small and/or gray :( ]

[lori]

Russell-

I think "Stairway to Heaven" is meaningless, way over-played and even more highly over-rated. When I was kid/teenager, EVERY guitar teacher taught beginners that song. Sadly, it's still the only song I can play *well* on the guitar (and I cannot stand it). Remember "Wayne's World", and the sign in the music store over the Fender Squire Stratocaster stating "No Stairway to Heaven"...classic :).

"Life in the Fast Lane"...all about drugs and promiscuity, and living the crazy life of a rock-n-roll band, most definitely, *I* think.

And the Eagles were kind enough to let us know later that living life in the fast lane will lead us straight to the "Hotel California" ;).

I prefer Jackson Browne's more reflective approach: "These days I sit and think alot about the things that I forgot to do, and all the times I had the chance to."

[Phoenix]

I love it! One of the greatest rock 'n roll tunes to grace this planet. The song was written for a friend of one of the band members. She was seriously depressed, and I can't remember now if she committed suicide or not.... I'm thinking not..... But this song ranks on the TOP of greatest songs of all time.

Stairway to Heaven

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
With a word she can get what she came for

Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
And you know sometimes words have two meanings
In the tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking

Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forest will echo with laughter

And it makes me wonder

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the May Queen

Yes there are two paths you can go by
but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on

Your head is humming and it won't go because you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady can't you hear the wind blow and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our souls
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll
Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
With a word she can get what she came for

And she's buying a stairway to heaven, uh uh uh.

[Phoenix]

If your whole body doesn't spasm when they switch into the verse beginning, "And as we wind on down the road.." ....goosebumps..... I'm sorry for you.

Ow... I have goosebumps just thinking about it.....
