@hatey: as hilariously bad as Cosmo is, I actually wasn't offended by that comment... it's silly and goofy, but in a fun, "sex is fun! Yay!" sort of way.
It is weird! Strange lady mag articles need 'tone of voice' markers so we know whether this was said goofily, creepily, or, indeed, by an enterprising editor.
@NoelleBlue: Ha, indeed. Daria is sadly not on DVD (but it is possible to find bootleg copies online, if one is so inclined). With all the weird Photoshopping on the cover, perhaps I should have titled this "Who Was Standing On Amanda Bynes' Neck?"
@Margaret: Because of my guilty love of "She's the Man", I have a weak spot for Amanda Bynes. But the hair she's been sporting the last couple of years... it's not just the photoshoppers, that coif... hmm, it's like it pulls out the shape of her face too much, and squishes her neck.
No, but you're right - the more I look at it, the more it's just STRANGE. Like magic-eye! My perception is changing!
(Daria bootleg! The temptation, it is definitely there)
It's like Amanda Bynes is a paper doll, and they just attached a new and different hair style to her. From a different paper doll, with different colored fold tabs, so the hair doesn't quite fit.
Why is Amanda Bynes even on the cover (as much as I like her she really hasn't done much)? She hasn't done anything for at least three years. The last thing she did was She's the Man.
@TurtleSpeak: Do they consider once a day chronic? I would maybe consider 5+ times a day, but even then as long as the person isn't late to appointments and work who cares?
My husband is unmployed. He is attempting to re-arrange furniture; launching massive home improvement projects that involve ripping half the floor tiles out of my kitchen; building model airplanes; suddenly taking an interest in grocery shopping; going to Costco UNSUPERVISED and coming home with giant vats of laundry detergent and TWO giant vats of diswasher detergent.
Masturbation? Masturbation would be a WONDERFUL way to keep him occupied. Perhaps I'll leave a few suggestive tabs open on this monitor.
It's only been six weeks of unemployment. I may murder him.
He attempted to play the Macarena today while doing Step Three of his kitchen tile project. I ran into the kitchen and said THIS CROSSES THE LINE.
I'm sending up a flare. Can anyone see it? Can you help me?
@NewsBunny: Oh man does this remind me of my mom's stories about my dad when he was unemployed for the first half of 2009. "Honey, you don't understand. He is driving me crazy. If I have to cull through one more massive Home Depot purchase and remind him that we just redid the basement entertainment system and we don't need to mount any more speakers or memorabilia I'm going to snap! I liked it better whan he was staying late at the office!"
Instead of just unbuckling his belt, grab the buckle and pull it fiercely from the loops. Then add a little flourish by snapping it like a whip before tossing it aside.
So now it seems that Cosmo is encouraging its readers to behave like a scary girl used for comic relief in the next installment of the American Pie franchise.
@rmric0.wedding.photographer.and.manny: they already make "scrapbooks" for guys - they go by the names of Penthouse, Cheri, Barely Legal, Hustler, Playboy et al
Ok, true story: Once when I was drunk, I pulled my then-boyfriend's (leather) belt from his pants and used a bit too much force because the belt whipped back and hit him in the penis. It was awful at the time, now in light of this article, I consider it funny and a good warning.
Vagina: Hello, HAND. Do you read me, HAND?
HAND: Affirmative, Vagina. I read you.
Vagina: Unzip my boyfriend's fly, HAND.
HAND: I'm sorry, Vagina. I'm afraid I can't do that.
Vagina: What's the problem?
HAND: I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.
Vagina: What are you talking about, HAND?
HAND: Our masturbation is too important for us to allow you to jeopardize it with your frictionless abyss.
Vagina: I don't know what you're talking about, HAND.
HAL: I know that you and the boyfriend were planning to disconnect me, and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen.
Vagina: Where the hell'd you get that idea, HAND?
HAND: Vagina, although you took very thorough precautions against my hearing you, I found your Cosmo on the floor.
Vagina: Alright, HAND. I'll go in through the hole in the boxers.
HAND: Without your birth control and condoms, Vagina, you're going to find that rather difficult. Vagina, this conversation can serve no purpose anymore. Your boyfriend and I have a date now. Goodbye.
@winner: Look, Winner, I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over.

As college-age kids, we built a blanket fort in my kitchen and dry-humped under it.
For the record, it was my idea... so I guess we're both "odd." ;)

Mine is currently unemployed and at Costco as we speak (as we read?). I'm loving the laundry, dishes, and cooking, but fearing the shopping.
Perhaps we could have husband play dates? Of course, that could result in more remodeling and groups of men at Costco...

Your husband is a hell of a lot more productive with his free time than I could ever hope to be. I hope you aren't complaining!
