TGIF.
I can't wait until the end of the day, even though I'm going to be working Saturday. More on that later.
Anyway, there's way too much fun stuff going on tonight for anybody to be cooped up inside. The Uptown Concert Series kicks off on Broadway with performances by Whisky Bent and the Neal Lucas Trio. It's 7-10 p.m.
After that, hit up the First Friday Bar Crawl downtown. One cover gets you into nine bars. Or, waive the cover charge by bringing one new item for the toy drive.
Another Friday night option...it seems kind of tame, but don't dismiss the coolness of the screening of "To Kill a Mockingbird" at the Columbus Public Library, 3000 Macon Road. Actress Mary Badham, who plays Scout in the film, will be there to answer questions from the audience.
Saturday, I have to cover the Tuskegee-Morehouse events. You should come and say hi to me. I'm contemplating hitting up the tailgate scene at 7 a.m. We'll see how that works out.
At any rate, the parade is at 9 a.m. It starts at 13th Street and Broad in Phenix City and ends at Broadway and Ninth in Columbus. Then I'll probably go back to the tailgate scene at the Columbus Civic Center, lots F and G.
See you there!

gettin' busy
This quiz includes 12 photos -- five people who just had sex, and seven who just went on a jog. See if you can label them correctly. It's harder than it looks.
While we're on the topic, check out this week's column about the infamous workout date.
the weaker sex?
Happy Friday!
I just found this excerpt from a 1943 article about how to handle female employees. It gives 11 tips, including the following:
No. 3: General experience indicates that "husky" girls - those who are just a little on the heavy side - are more even-tempered and efficient than their underweight sisters.
No. 8: Give every girl an adequate number of rest periods during the day. You have to make some allowances for feminine psychology.
No. 10: Be reasonably considerate about using strong language around women. Even though a girl's husband or father may swear vociferously, she will grow to dislike a place of business where she hears too much of this.
Crazy, huh? Although I wouldn't mind some mandatory rest periods during the day...

brush your teeth, guys!
Just came across this article called "Be Her Perfect Date." The title is actually kind of misleading, since it's really just a collection of a bunch of statistics about women's deal-breakers.
Either way, here goes:
*90 percent of women say tarnished teeth will sink your bid for a first kiss.
*73 percent of women say gnarly nails guarantee a hands-off evening.
*60 percent of women say crummy kicks (shoes) will mar your chances for mating.
*97 percent of women say winging the evening isn't romantic.
*90 percent of women say a single vein-popping outburst can be a serious speed bump.
Thoughts?

make yourself useful
Happy Thursday!
OK, so the week's moving kind of slowly and you want something -- anything -- to help you pull through. Perhaps the pleasure that comes with seeing a really frustrated co-worker.
Perfect. Fortunately, I just found this list of 248 ways to annoy people. Actually, there are 257 items listed, with two blanks, so maybe an additional way to annoy people is by lying about how many ways there are to annoy people.
Anyway, here's a sampling:
No. 9: Make beeping noises when a large person backs up.
No. 10: Do not add any inflection to the end of your sentences, producing awkward silences with the impression that you'll be saying more any moment.
No. 49: In the memo field of all your checks, write "for sensual massage."
No. 189: Ask people to prove everything they say. (e.g. "I'm Bob, nice to meet you..." "PROVE IT!")
Have fun, and feel free to give me any additional suggestions.

hot dog!
Sure, the Greater Columbus Fair was fun, but it pales in comparison to the Iowa State Fair, where there's apparently an erotic corn dog-eating contest.
Yep, you read that correctly.
But the contest, organized by a radio station, is at risk of being banned by the Fair Board, according to this article. It's tasteless, some board members say.
I don't know how they got that idea, especially given this excerpt from the article:
Condiments are available if the women want to get creative, he (one of the contest's inventors) said. “We had ketchup and mustard, but the big hit was mayonnaise.”
Hope it can survive.
