How to get away with picking up a prostitute..(In Theory)


I was reading an article about prostitution Vs. Pornography and came up with a great theory for legally picking up prostitutes.
Try out this technique and she how it pans out for you.
You will first need two things on your persons in order to pull this off.
First you will need a video camera, next you will need to draft up a video consent form. There are many such forms on the internet.
It the police give you any flack simply say that you are recording a pornographic movie, which is not illegal and that you will be compensating the lady or ladies for there "acting in the film".
This seems like a pretty gray area in the law enforcement field so there is a good chance that you would get away with it.
Now you just need to take your friendly neighborhood prostitute to the location of your choice and film you cinematic adventure.

I am not a lawyer and if you get arrested you are the dummy that listened to me so..........not my fault.

I Should be a professional band name namer.

Through the history of man we have found the need to name things. One day along time ago a man saw an ant and named it so, another man saw a piece of quartz and likewise named it so. I have always wanted to be the guy that names stuff. I have found that i have a great skill for naming things and I think that I will use my skills for naming bands.
Here is a list of band names you are free to use.


  • Elemental Frontier
  • Devotion to a Flower
  • No Coincidences
  • Handicap 33
  • Truckbed Ashtray
  • The Elm St. Rowdy Boys
  • Pumpkinhead
  • The Argument Alliance
  • The Contention League
  • The Battle Bunch
  • Round Circle
  • Number 19
  • Bearhead
  • Bearface
  • Adventures of an Amature Ninja
  • Peculiar Recountings
  • The Definition of Awesome
  • The Pack and Play Experiment
  • Kingwell
  • Subdivided
  • Phase One
  • Father of One
  • Office Politics
  • Leansville
  • Posting Daily
  • Buy One Get One
  • Acoustically Electric
  • The Mancurians
  • Banana Pancake
  • Flavor Tabs


Any likeness or downright exactness to any band names is purely coincidental even thought there are no coincidences so lets just say it was an accident.

What is the difference between bourbon and whiskey?



"All bourbons are whiskey, but not all whiskeys are bourbon...Whisky is an alcoholic distillate from a fermented mash of grain produced at less than 190 proof in such a manner that the distillate possesses the taste, aroma, and characteristics generally attributed to whiskey, stored in oak containers (except that corn whisky need not be so stored), and bottled at not less than 80 proof, and also includes mixtures of such distillates for which no specific standards of identity are prescribed.

For a whiskey to qualify as bourbon, the law--by international agreement--stipulates that it must be made in the USA. It must be made from at least 51% and no more than 79% Indian corn, and aged for at least two years. (Most bourbon is aged for four years or more.) The barrels for aging can be made of any kind of new oak, charred on the inside. Nowadays all distillers use American White Oak, because it is porous enough to help the bourbon age well, but not so porous that it will allow barrels to leak. It must be distilled at no more than 160 proof (80% alcohol by volume). Nothing can be added at bottling to enhance flavor or sweetness or alter color. The other grains used to make bourbon, though not stipulated by law, are malted barley and either rye or wheat. Some Kentucky bourbon makers claim that the same limestone spring water that makes thoroughbred horses' bones strong gives bourbon whiskey its distinctive flavor. Kind of like that "it's the water" thing with Olympia beer.

Bourbon can be made anywhere in the U.S., but all but a couple of brands are made in Kentucky. Only the state of Kentucky can produce bourbon with its name on the label. The name comes from Bourbon county in the central bluegrass region of Kentucky. This county was named in 1785 to honor the French royal family and was once the major transshipment site for shipping distilled spirits down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers to New Orleans. Barrels shipped from there were stamped with the county's name, which then became the name of this kind of whiskey. Interestingly, there are no distillers in Bourbon county, Kentucky right now. "
