Pregnant Man a.k.a Thomas Beatie

Thomas Beatie is a married man whom is 5 months pregnant with a baby girl, in the eyes of the law that is. Thomas Beatie was born a girl but now lives life as a transgender, feeling more “normal” as a man she/he decided to flatten the chest and pop testosterone pills yet keep everything else female. Good call in my mind, I reckon penises are ugly things I’d opt for a vagina any day if I had the choice.

So yeah, if you want to be the next pregnant guy these are the prerequisites and steps you need to take.

1) must be born as a girl;

2) change yourself enough so that the law views you as a male, but keep enough female in you to make babies, and;

3) impregnate yourself

That’s it, 3 “simple” tasks is all it takes. Join the revolution. Be the next pregnant man.

UPDATE April 3rd, 2007: Thomas Beatie and his wife will appear on Oprah

Mistaken ID: Police = Drug Trafficker

Two Fijian youngsters with a garbage bag full of weed and two horses stupidly flagged down a police car mistaking it for their pickup vehicle. IDIOTS! More than likely high off their nuts, but still…IDIOTS! So anyway, after they finally realised they signaled a cop car they panicked (I assume), dropped the bag of goods, left the horses and ran. What’s wrong with them? They had horses! Those things gallop like crazy and they could have taken themselves with their precious money making merchandise no worries. Mind you they did get away from the police, however police allege that they know the suspects, one being a known “drug trafficker” and simply needed to go pick them up.

So the moral of the story…one, don’t get kids to do a grown up job and two, “…Don’t get high off your own supply” (Mary and Jane Suva, as commented on the Fiji Times website)

Akon’s Shoe up for Ransom

WARNING excessive consumption of alcohol could…

The on again off again discussions of putting warning labels on alcoholic beverages, like that found on cigarette packs, is on again. Kevin Rudd will be bringing his proposal to the leaders of the states and territories later this week at the Council of Australian Governments meeting, in hope of stopping the abuse of alcohol by young Australians.

Seeing as the warning labels are mainly targeting the youth to not drink to excess I wonder if they will go further than solely health warnings and also include social warnings. I’d love to see something like “Excessive consumption of alcohol may result in you imagining the ugliest person in the room as the hottest person to ever exist”

Here’s an example of the proposed warning label back in 2006:

Underage at 18?

The legal drinking age in Australia could potentially be lifted from 18 years of age to 21 years of age. The chairman of the Victorian Drug and Alcohol Prevention Council, Professor Jon Currie will be proposing the lifting in legal age to the Brumby Government over the next few months in seeking ways to reduce the incidence of alcohol abuse by young Australians.

I seriously don’t think that raising the legal drinking age will help stop young people abusing alcohol at all, if anything it’ll just increase the number of underage drinking to astronomical heights. Underage drinkers have always and will always find a way to get their hands on alcohol and have always and will always drink it to excess no matter if they are underage at 16 or 20.

So I’m glad that Professor Jon Currie sees this as a last resort and that the proposal is still in its infancy.

Living in Australia Sucks

I came across a recently launched website that has legal, that’s right LEGAL streaming of full episodes of TV programs and movies…how awesome is that. I was excited and keen to test it out, so quickly clicked my way to a SNL clip and found myself faced with in bold white letters “Unfortunately this video is currently not available in your country or region. We apologize for the inconvenience.”

LIVING IN AUSTRALIA SUCKS! (and I assume every other country would too except the USA)

Also I hate how they say they are sorry for the inconvenience because they aren’t, I mean if they really cared and were truly sorry they should work out ways to not be sorry like allowing the videos work everywhere and not thus not making living in Australia suck.

For anyone in the States www.hulu.com will be TV/Movie streaming heaven.

Guys wanna get Laid? Hit on a Depressed Chick

That’s right, depressed women have more sex than happy women according to a new study released at The 9th International Health Conference. Although it sounds kinda funny it’s not too surprising when you think about it and really common sense, I mean a part depression means being insecure with yourself so what better way to feel better about yourself than have sex! You get the closeness, security and the feeling of being wanted – just too bad it’s all temporary.

So what does all this mean? Well as the title suggests, if a man were to crack onto a depressed woman he will have a better chance of getting in her pants later in the night. And, if your a woman going out and hitting the town and don’t want to be annoyed by the opposite sex don’t act all depressed, because now the word is out.

Nothing to write so here’s a Pic

Buy this Guys Life

Ian Usher will be putting his “life” up for auction on eBay starting on June 22nd, so if you need a new life bid!

You’d think that someone going though this is unhappy with his life, but from his website it seems he is very happy with his life in Perth, just that his always reminded of his ex-wife and needs to get away from it. Interestingly he doesn’t exactly stipulate what happened with his ex-wife but it’s not hard to interpret from his words that she cheated on him. So he just wants a fresh new start.

So with the auction when Ian means his life, he pretty much nearly means it, you get his lifestyle, car, motorbike, house (including everything in it – undies, soap, washing detergent [i assume, does say everything], his friends and his current job. How crazy is that! Not only is Ian going through this himself, in terms of selling off all his materialistic things, but his been able to convince his friends to be potential friends of the new owner(s) of his life and again convince his boss to give the same person a job. Crazy!

Ian been doing an amazing of job of getting publicity for the “life” auction too, building www.alife4sale.com and giving himself a 100 day window to promote the auction. The website is really good to it has everything you need to know what you might potentially get yourself into with infomation, pics and videos galore.

Anyways I find it really interesting, and really gutsy on his behalf, I won’t be bidding for his life but I’ll be keeping track of how it goes via the website.

Here’s a video intro to the whole thing from Ian himself

Professional Dog Grooming, this is what you get…

My mum decided that Ricki, our faithful cross Maltese Papillon, after her 12 or so years of her existence (human years) deserved to be professionally groomed. So after a phone call to make an appointment, 1 hour grooming session and $60 for the service this is how our beloved dog now looks like.

Ricki’s looks have gone backwards hey? Aren’t professional dog groomers meant to make dogs look better the same way as you’d expect a professional beautician would give you a make over? I guess the groomer did accentuate Ricki’s Papillion heritage by making her “butterfly” ears stand out. But in turn making her look ugly. I’ve actually been nice with the before/after picture by only making Ricki’s head prominent, seeing as she’s on the wrong side of chubby and after a litter and her old age her breasts are prone to the Earth’s gravitational pull, and now all this is out in the open, showing. She used to be able to hide behind think hair same way the right choice in clothing hides a beer belly, but now with short short hair she doesn’t have that option anymore.

Oh well, it’s only hair and will grow back in a few weeks, well at least my mum is hoping.

UPDATE March 18, 2008: Mum is now over the denial period and is today referring to Ricki as “ugly”
