How to Stay Warm

For some eight months now, I've been teaching Advanced English at a Bible College.  And quit just recently… in absolute frustration of their behavior – the students, fellow teachers pretty much everyone.

During my time, all I tried to do is get them to understand the importance of being open-minded, of taking time to challenge tradition and ways that are now considered to be integral to living an honest Christian life. Not to just accept things for what they are…

I was as successful as trying to get a woman to spend money from her pocket… talk about opening Pandora's Box!

And all I got was: judgement not forgetting irrational behavior that can be expected for religious zealots. As disappointing as this was, thank goodness I didn't tell them what I thought of the old testament and the story of Eve falling prey to the 'snake'.

(Yes, ladies… watch out for the "snake" – or else you'll get a crash course in what feels so gooooood but is so evil!)

Sex – it's good for you, not only in terms of fitness but also if you live in areas where it gets colder than usual. It's one of the best ways to stay warm not unless you fancy spitting – acknowledging the "trysexual" and naughty side of you!

Of course, there are other ways to stay warm, but before that, here's a note on hypothermia and mortality rates in the United States during winter.

US Mortality Rates during Winter & Hypothermia

It took only a few minutes for those aboard the Titanic to die as soon as they hit the water. Reason being the temperate of water was as minus 2 degrees centigrade. No, there were no Coast Guards those days, not that it would have mattered anyways, considering the shitty reputation they have these days.

Anyways, according to a report by the US National Center for Health Statistics between 2001 and 2007, more people have died between the months of December and March than in the other months.

And the difference is almost a 100,000 deaths between the the months during others seasons and winter – such is the impact of hypothermia.

You don't need me to tell you how important it is for you to stay warm… no, it's not an excuse to do you-know-what… oh but it is… (cough cough)

How to Stay Warm

If you're expecting some methods that have been invented by rocket science by which you can stay warm, there aren't any. Instead, here are some simple tips that are available (and evident) to the most one track minded fuckwit on God's green earth:

#1: Winter Wear

Using winter wear is probably the simplest way to keep from getting cold. There are new fangled products such as thermal underwear (so much for chastity belts, and now this!!!) among which Under Armour Coldgear is one such company that offer good stuff to keep you warm, especially in the places which matters most.

#2: Exercise

Easier said than done but then there are fun winter exercise options that can not only help you burn off those calories but keep you warm. Refrain from parking your behind just because it's the holidays, OK?

#3: Alcohol

I'm not suggesting that you go on a binge but it wouldn't be such a bad idea to have a couple of shots. The least it will do for you is warm up your insides, and piss your wife or spouse… perfect dumb guys recipe for makeup sex the following morning, my brothers!

#4: Heater/ Fireplace

Dead heroes are no good to anyone. Get a heater or freeze to death. It's as simple as that. A fireplace won't be such a bad idea either as you'll have to chop some wood to enjoy some downtime by the fire, during the evening.

In Closing

And yes, once you eat the fruit from that tree of good and evil, you won't just be warm – you'll be hot as hell! Just remember to scream while you're at it…

Shock Collars – Who Says That Dogs Need Them?

by FitBuff Blogger on January 25, 2012 · 0 comments

in Grooming

Shock collars, used for dogs, is probably the most annoying invention of all. However, there's one area where it works flawlessly – for a spouse that can't shut up, and who doesn't have the balls to be good at anything including the all-important topic of infidelity.

A little "energy boost" would do the trick – in having some peace and quiet around, don't you think?

(And this goes for both men and women – not just the fairer sex, who are often labeled as nags. Not so – there are some men who really need to get a life.)

While negative reinforcement might not be such a good idea with dogs, it would work well with some of these losers, who can't think of anything better to do than complain, complain and complain all day long.

In fact, you should hand over the controls to your pet dog – especially the earlier versions that were designed to punish dogs for undesirable behavior.

You won't be surprised how humane they might turn out to be… yes, they deserve a dog treadmill or two!

Shock Collars – An Introduction

As mentioned earlier, these animals were subjected to shocks that were strong, to say the least, and ever since dog training have changed to use positive reinforcement – which is something that you have to have knowledge of, whether you teach kids or undergraduate students…

And somehow we've missed the point of using this method on animals until some of them got tired of these electric shocks and went berserk. C'mon, if you push anyone past their limits, it would be stupid and blind to not expect such as a reaction.

Precisely why your spouse will never see it coming…

These days, the electric collars are designed to emit a shock that's lesser in intensity but still serves the purpose of keeping a dog under control – such as staying within a perimeter or to silence them when they bark.

But as with all things, there are pros and cons to anything and everything that exists, and so let's look at the pros and cons of a shock collar.

Shock Collar - Pros & Cons

Pro #1: There are some types of collars that are better than shock collars such as the noise electronic collar that can be used to quieten a dog down by emitting a loud noise that only the dog can hear.

Pro #2: If you have an aggressive pet, these shock collars might work only to a certain extent as they'll take you for a walk instead of the other way. Again, if used too many times, it can worsen the aggressiveness.

Pro #3: Might work for dogs that are deaf – but has to be used very carefully

Con #1: Very very bad invention that should just not be used for dogs that are passive – aggressive ones, maybe – trainers still think it's not a good way to treat either type of dog.

Con #2: Most training occurs within six months of age, and these collars are recommended to be used after this age limit. Trust me – it's not worth it because owners don't know the difference between control and cruelty.

Con #3: Shock collars are expensive and might need a change in batteries just when you might need to control.

In Closing

And if shock collars don't work with your "bitter half" – next up: car batteries. Sorry folks, desperate times call for desperate measures… especially if they're one of those types that constantly needs some 'excitement'…

Why Bodybuilding Isn’t Just For Men!

by FitBuff Brandon on January 23, 2012 · 4 comments

in Vitamins/Supplements

Bodybuilding is almost exclusively associated with men, but one woman, through the medium of reality TV, aims to blow those stereotypes into the water. Former glamour model Jodie Marsh will star in a documentary about her attempts to become a natural bodybuilder over the course of two months.

In order to get into shape, Jodie gave up drinking and late-night clubbing and worked hard at developing her physique. Eight weeks later, and celeb Jodie shows off her new muscles to the confused media, thus proving that if anyone goes through the right fitness regime, they get the results.

Through hard work, dedication and determination, Jodie achieved her desired figure, and this is also the case for many professional bodybuilders and athletes. However, they also get an extra boost through using a range of bodybuilding supplements. Using natural supplements can help to improve your fitness, build muscles and accelerate the bodybuilder’s progress.

female-bodybuilder

One of the most popular supplements is protein powders. You can buy protein powder from health food shops on the high street or from dedicated online retailers, who have extensive knowledge of which supplements are right for their customers’ needs.

Protein powder enjoys popularity amongst bodybuilders and athletes from all backgrounds because of its many benefits. It comes in several varieties, has great versatility when used in cooking and performs vital functions that your body needs.

The different types of protein powder include whey, pea, egg white and casein (milk). The whey and egg white varieties are widely regarded as the best of the lot, as they’re low in fat and, as they derive from dairy products, they contain more protein than other protein powders.

It may surprise you, but protein powders can be used for cooking. Protein powders are often used to make shakes by adding juice, milk or water, but other recipes out there include brownies, meal replacement bars and pancakes. In liquid forms, protein shakes are consumed as meal replacements.

While both the taste and variety are impressive, it is the nutritional qualities of protein powders that stand out. Protein is essential in the body’s growth and repair, which is why athletes consume protein powder in some form before and after working out. Protein powders can also help with weight gain, which if managed correctly, can aid muscle building. However, if consuming protein powders, you need to make sure you’re eating and living healthily, as consuming this supplement won’t have the desired effect.

Birth Control Patch – Yes, Pandora in all her glory…

by FitBuff Blogger on January 23, 2012 · 0 comments

in Sex

I'm a simple man. I like titties and beer. So said Frank Zappa, and I concur… with the whole simple thing. But thanks to some double standards in society now, men aren't allowed to look at a woman's tits even if she's wearing a tee that usually fits a third-grader.

It's just as pretentious as the phrase "Don't fuckin' use bad language"… which is what I say when a woman tells me to not swear so much – as if she knew how much is enough! Incorrigible, I know… but I'd like to know who made these rules in the first place!

But I'll tell you who gets away with murder, ladies… the ass-men as opposed to milk-men… there's no need for subtlety there, not unless you have eyes at the back of your head…

And bachelors… which is why I'm still unmarried… and am enjoying these times for however long it will last… and then, it'll be time to hide the forks and knives once that delightful time of the month comes…

Not unless she's had many years of experience as a "knife thrower" at the local circus… and even then, she'll catch you offguard, and perform an incisive surgery into that thick skull of yours before you can get spew out the expletive in the phrase "What the…".

(Someone's counting the number of f***s I've used so – am hoping these three stars would cause them to lose count!)

And it's just as harrowing when a woman tells you that she's going to "throw up" the next morning, after a long long night of telling you how much of a cave-man you are…

Oh yes, your goose is cooked, pal… "daddy cool" and all that jazz! Time to bail, you spineless prick, right? Medication never looked so good, now would it? For the clinically insane, of course…

Until you find out – it was something that she ate that didn't agree with her stomach, and it had nothing to do with your manhood…

Of course, she took the pill… because she's anything but as stupid as you are! And this time, it's a birth control patch that she used…

Birth Control Path – Pros & Cons

Called the Ortho Evra Patch, it's considered to be 99 % effective (some daggers miss, you know) but should not be used by women on antibiotics or who are overweight.

Pros

#1: Once you place this patch in the butt or abdominal region area, you won't have to worry about remembering to take a pill every time you're in the mood. Of course, the condom companies timed it perfectly because most numbskulls kill themselves trying to open a packet containing a condom.

#2: Periods are shorter and lighter – meaning no knife throwing fantasies.

#3: Reduced risk of ovarian and endometrial cancer.

#4: Works as a prevention against etopic pregnancy and pelvic inflammatory disease.

Cons

#1: Skin reactions – and we know how touchy women can get when this happens.

#2: Bleeding during periods, headaches and mood changes are known to occur

#3: No protection against sexually transmitted diseases

#4: Women suffering from depression will only worsen it, if they use this birth control patch

Oh, and you have to remove the patch when that "dagger throwing" time of the month is nigh…

In Closing

And Zeus continues to laugh, for setting Pandora in all her glory, in the midst of mortal men… so much for fighting fire with fire, huh?
