I was greatly amused by the story of two men colliding in a Brooklyn Heights Starbucks recently. Apparently, one gentlemen was irritated that the other was apparently doing nothing to control his fussing infant while waiting for his order.

While I can sympathize with the man over a parent ignoring their children when they are off the hook, fussy, or whatever the hell you want to call it, the real story here is shouldn't both men have been slapped for handing over good money for overpriced and underwhelming coffee. What's next, a knife fight breaking out at some spa over a "man-cation" gone awry?...

They say English can be one of the most difficult languages on earth to learn. Sometimes, I wish I didn't know it after reading the latest from Sweden. A sexual rights group (probably the code name for a bunch of people who don't get laid) have determined that "hymen" is no longer the appropriate term to use for that certain part of the female anatomy. This is the result of a crusade to dispell misconceptions about the hymen and virginity. The new preferred nomenclature? Vaginal corona.

Yeah, I hear ya. Sounds like the worst microbrew on the international menu at your local beerhaus. A short and curly in every bottle. Somehow, I just do not think the phrase "I totally exploded her vaginal corona last night" will catch on, even at the lowest grade Swedish community college on nickel beer night. Sometimes, a cherry really is just a cherry, regardless of the linguistics involved...

Except when you are in Britain, that is. A 19-yr-old in Atherton got slapped with a four month sentence for carrying a Batman souvenir knife. The man said he was carrying the knife for protection after taking out another man's ex. This was probably for the best. I mean, if you are carrying a Batman knife for protection, you need to be locked up for YOUR own protection. Besides, the guy could have had worse. If it had been a Batman Forever knife, he could have gotten a life sentence...
