Professional what?!

Last night, The Mr. and I watched 300. I have to say, I haven't seen a movie with so many gay undertones in my life... and I watched Brokeback Mountain!

First, all of the "spartans" are super buff dudes who walk around in bikini cut briefs. I mean, they were definitely easy on the eyes but it seemed a wee bit ridiculous to do battle with only a cape (what purpose did it serve?), knee pads and underwear.


I thoroughly enjoyed looking at Gerard Butler all buff and sweaty though. Rrrraaaaaarrr! And did I mention he has a Scottish accent? Oh... accents make me weak in the knees (thankfully, I can just borrow GB's kneepads from the movie):


But I mean, come on!! And the evil Persian lord looked like a drag queen tranny. What? Is this movie implying that Persians are all like this or just evil ones? I'd be really offended if I were a transexual.

This picture doesn't really do what I just said justice... but if you watch the movie, you'd understand.

Okay - and that's enough about that. The movie was... um... okay?

Oh and I'm reading this fantastic book called Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach. Its definitely not for the faint of heart because the first chapter talked about surgeons practicing face lifts on decapitated heads. But its so fascinating. Mary discusses modern day practices on cadavers as well as medieval practices. I just started the chapter on body snatching. Seriously, read it.

Mary briefly touches on people donating themselves to science and how there are some woman who donate their... um... susies. Hoo-has. Va-jay-jays. Vaginas. But they're alive! They donate their time and their privates to medical students learning how to give a proper ob/gyn exam! They provide feedback to the students and whatnot. Can you imagine? I'm going to try out more info because I would love to include that on my resume. Professional Vagina.

Damn!! I wanted dibs!!
Looks like I'll have to either wait...or go to the library...and I hate both! :)

I wish I had a sussie to donate. I wonder if I can donate my prostate to science while I'm still around.

Now does the South Park episode with Les Bos make more sense?

It's a shame that King Leonidis wasn't scissoring King Xerxes in 300. Actually, no it's not. That movie kicked ass, regardless of how homoerotic it was.

Scissor me timbers.

I'm not sure if I could hand over my Va-jay-jay for spelunking interns. You know they're bumbling and nervous because they're rated on everything they do. Ugh!! It pains me to even think about it.

You know I've heard about that before, the donating your vagina to practice pelvic exams. I hate that procedure so much that I don't think any amount of money would get me to do it more than once a year.
