A bit of Michael Caine in Dressed to Kill.

Shot this tonight at the famed Powell's Bookstore here in Portland:

I'm highly amused that these stupid tomes that I've had to walk past displays of in airports have infected even my home.

glad enders game is finally selling more than the art of fielding

whats the difference?

My friend has been relating the plot (via SMS) to me. This is just beyond ridiculous.

S&M&S amirite?

The Sisters Brothers is actually pretty good

Man, when I was in middle school I read Michael Crichton books, including Disclosure. Probably gave me some weird, wrong ideas about sex, but by the time I was in high school I'd decided he was a shitty writer and I was skeptical of anything I read in there so there probably wasn't any long-term harm.

re: gawker, though, what 15 year old is into zumba? Do teenagers do adult workout crazes now?

Teenagers with memberships in chain fitness centers do.

haven't you heard of ZUMBA KIDZ (it's a real thing)?

I'm just back from Majorca. This book is so popular with Brit women on holiday that my kids asked why every woman at the pool was reading the same book.

I finally saw my first sighting of this book in the wild! A couple of older women eating at a table next to me we're discussing a John Grisham novel ("Hilarious!") with a copy of 50 Shades of Gray sitting on the table between them.

that doesn't need batteries!

Lee

sometimes you comments go a bit too far

this is one of those times

that doesn't need batteries!

No shit, Sherlock.

don't get what is offensive about pointing out a particular back massager runs on mains power, especially in a thread discussing a book about BDSM, but will apologize anyway since i really don't want to hurt anyone

nah, not offensive at all, just get an interesting vibe from your posts sometimes (pun intended)

Nope sorry not even posting this is going too far

lol @ "rumble your jungle"

Abbs, do you know of L@ur@ Szum0sk1? I don't know if she more considered an illustrator as opposed to a comic artist, but she does a lot of stuff like that Dar comic.

I don't!

I bought a cheap back massager from Brookstone many years ago (i have chronic back pain) and never even gave a thought that the lady behind the sales counter may think I had other uses in mind. (it turned out to be a crappy back massager - it almost hurts - and wouldn't dream of using it for anything else).

my friend's mom bought her a massager for christmas one year...It's a U shaped thing that plugs in. We call it the 'horse dildo'...it's the weirdest looking thing.

My parents had a pretty heavy-duty back massager, the kind that's like a pencil-sharpened shaped robot that you strap to your hand and then the vibes are transmitted by hand. And my mom or dad would give us backrubs with it when we were kids, which I of course liked a lot. When I grew up I realized maybe they used it for sex and I felt disgusted. I WENT TOO FAR and asked my mom if that was the case, and she was mad at me. She said they didn't.

A lot of people dont, afaik

Unto the pure all things are pure.

i was having serious neck pain a while back, and a friend gave me his horse dildo. apparently, his ex-girlfriend's parents had given it to him for christmas a while back, when they were still together? (shoutout to dangling modifier thread woot.)

anyway, i never used it, and neither did he - allegedly - but, man, his horse was fucking pissed.

Fifty Shades Of Grey now also ruining classic literature

-
Jane Austen and more get a "sexy" makeover, because that's where we're at now

By Sean O'Neal July 18, 2012

Aside from inspiring everything from increased sales of classical music to all-sex-toys-and-shame-included hotel packages to memberships to "Sugar Daddy" websites, in addition to the sudden realization by women that their vaginas can be used for things other than storing children or occasional jars of preserves, Fifty Shades Of Grey is causing huge ramifications in the world of literature. And not just by influencing modern authors have who struggled for years over their very personal artistic statements—only to learn that E.L. James is raking in over $1 million a week for essentially rewriting Twilight with spanking instead of vampires—to just say fuck it, and start writing novels like The Girl Who Met The Hot, Brooding Rich Guy And Maybe They Used Anal Beads, You Sexually Repressed Shut-In.

No, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Fifty Shades has even begun to retroactively penetrate classics of yore, which is a sexy word that people like to read. "Penetrate," he gasped, instantly earning us thousands of dollars. Anyway, digital publisher Clandestine Classics has now taken the recent "Jane Austen plus zombies" formula to its dismally logical conclusion with Fifty Shades-inspired versions of books like Jane Eyre, Pride And Prejudice, Northanger Abbey, Sherlock Holmes: A Study In Scarlet, and 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, all with added sex scenes and—to quote a passage from the "enhanced" Pride And Prejudice—steamy descriptions like this one of Mr. Darcy: "Hot, spicy, and all man." The books will be targeted at both straight and, in the case of Sherlock Holmes, gay readers, with the homoerotic relationship that Guy Ritchie's movies only implied between Holmes and Watson taken to a very literal place. No word on whether the sexed-up 20,000 Leagues will similarly be targeted at hentai fans who enjoy tentacle rape, but considering Clandestine insists that the books are "keeping the original prose and the author's voice," yes, probably.
