Patchy really

Zombies are getting it on in the open street these days. I mean you just need Viagra right and not enough flesh in the right places is not too much an issue. But the thing is once the car piston goes into overdrive, the engine and the rest of it all better keep up. Plus of course it is too boring to keep doing the same stuff again and again for those whitecoat types - cancer, AIDS, the rhinovirus - will the list ever end? So Procter takes a Gamble and voila here's the Plan A- or the Night Before Patch or whatever else they call it - Intrinsa - how imaginative. The New York subway has to wait a while but the Brits are getting all worked up and all that already. A few minor details by the way, nothing personal really:

Too much probing to be done eh? Call the plumbers hon, lets see what they can do!

Politicians - no representation without ahem! And of course the Iron Lady had a fairly decent set of whiskers!!

The 'libido lag' was especially funny - reminded me of the Doomsday gap in Strangelove :)

It was only 50 year old geysers till now but the thing is getting hotter! But of course only with the husband and not during Lent, remember Phil Hodson's good words.

On a seriouser note, word on the the sex drive thing is really getting around and since it obviously is not enough for the few grunts and the groans and the satisfied moans and the snores and sweet sleep every third day, friskiness has to come from the pharmacy. Viagra then and Intrinsa but what about the 'issues' guys? Any hope down that aisle? And on a side note, aphrodisiacs need not be shipped all the way from Africa any more I hope - elephants have only two tusks these days.

a link and a movie

Interesting.. and I really ought to add links to other arguments with respect to this issue but well.. the thing to note here is that correct logic is not required to arrive at a correct solution - something I have noted for sometime.. and that long conversations about nothing really is not the exclusive domain of grad students!

By the way, saw Amazing Grace, the movie on a beautiful hymn.. was reasonably well-made though a little too saccharine in parts surely for my tongue.. the atrocity of commercial cinema usurping a key period in British parliamentary and world history into a mere 1-D movie rankles a bit.. i sorely missed people like Paine and Burke of those times - guest entries would have sufficed for me.. and pitt and fox became mere caricatures.. fox calling napoleon heroic in parliament and not a murmur of protest - blasphemy.. overall just inspiring enough though a dose of laudanum at times would not be bad.. the issue of course makes it an important movie to watch.. and for all you who believe religion can throw up only crackpots, wilberforce was of the useful kind..
