			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-452" title="Bloodninja Chat" src="http://thereasonal.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/bloodninja-chat.jpg" alt="Bloodninja Chat" width="492" height="347" /></p>
<p>I&#8217;m all about pre-marital online sex.  The more disgusting teenagers virtually groping each other the better.  So you can imagine my outrage when I was linked to <a href="http://www.myfoxatlanta.com/dpp/news/fox_5_links/Top_50_Text_Acronyms_Parents_Should_Know_052009" target="_blank">this local Atlanta news article</a> explaining the ins and outs of what is essentially sexting.  How dare they blow these poor kid&#8217;s cover and give parents everywhere an excuse to go through their phones and chat logs.</p>
<p>Then my outrage quickly turned into glee as I got to number 10 on the list.  And it only got more hilarious from there.  Are you FOL like me?  Well FMLTWIA and try not to be disappointed when you see that I&#8217;m Q2C and—oh, shit!  PAW and J/O!  About 80% of these are just ridiculous and made up.  Plus I&#8217;m really surprised to see the word &#8220;cum&#8221; and the phrase &#8220;is it tight?&#8221; on their site.  And if anyone actually uses these they&#8217;ll just make up new ones now.</p>
<p>Some suggestions:</p>
<p><strong>LWGGADA</strong> — Let&#8217;s Watch Golden Girls And Do Anal</p>
<p><strong>HMOS</strong> — Hollow Me Out, Sailor</p>
<p><strong>RUAADBOTI&#8230;N</strong> — Are You Actually A Dude? Because One Time I&#8230; Nevermind</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-401" title="hairy-yahoo-back" src="http://thereasonal.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/hairy-yahoo-back.jpg" alt="hairy-yahoo-back" width="492" height="260" /></p>
<p>There are essentially 3 types of question/response combinations on Yahoo! Answers that always illicit a &#8220;What?&#8221; (or &#8220;<a href="http://www.sahbeewah.com/image_repository/wat.jpg" target="_blank">wat</a>&#8220;) response.  Each combination is very similar but also subtly different.  Observe.</p>
<p><strong>Example 1: The Obvious</strong></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AiGZyNcaNISZamkDphX9IX9JxQt.;_ylv=3?qid=20090516161956AAHIwOK">My girlfriend insists on shaving her back before going to the beach. Is this worth fighting about?</a></span></p>
<p>I don&#8217;t think she needs to do this, and I tell her I love her the way she is and she&#8217;s being superficial. Then she gets mad at me and says what I think doesn&#8217;t matter, she doesn&#8217;t want to look like an ape and have people stare at her. Should I just let this go? I feel like she&#8217;s doubting how much I care for her.</p></blockquote>
<p>What?  Your girlfriend has a hairy back.  Either dump her or shave it for her and make a badass sweater.</p>
<p><span id="more-399"></span></p>
<p><strong> Example 2: The Baffled</strong></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Auh8Xe6dIxhwaXUMrHHu50lJxQt.;_ylv=3?qid=20090516162941AAXWCOp" target="_blank">Are atheist really proper grammar freaks?</a></span></p>
<p>it&#8217;s getting annoying! haha&#8230;If you want to teach English class then go teach it to people who CARES, but don&#8217;t expect any Christian like me, to take your advice.</p></blockquote>
<p>What? How do you come up with a question like this?  Do you really want this answered? Is this some kind of argument against atheism?  How did you manage to spell grammar right?  Why do you&#8230; what&#8217;s the&#8230; wh&#8230; ugh.</p>
<p><strong>Example 3: The Silence</strong></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AuwFeYmoA2yTozPstNiTd3dJxQt.;_ylv=3?qid=20090516163548AAeqWk7" target="_blank">It science has the answer to everything why do people still die?</a></span></p></blockquote>
<p>&#8230; (what?)</p>

Just when you thought text messaging was ubiquitous enough to just fucking do without worrying, a site like Flirtexting.com shows up to teach girls (never women) how to set the gender back a few decades.  The site reads like the sorority version of those sword infomercials where the rednecks always end up cutting their penis [...]]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-317" title="Flirtexting" src="http://thereasonal.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/flirtexting.jpg" alt="Flirtexting" width="492" height="263" /></p>
<p>Just when you thought text messaging was ubiquitous enough to just fucking do without worrying, a site like <a href="http://flirtexting.com/site/?page_id=157" target="_blank">Flirtexting.com</a> shows up to teach girls (never women) how to set the gender back a few decades.  The site reads like the sorority version of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1s0dRcdyizU" target="_blank">those sword infomercials</a> where the rednecks always end up cutting their penis off.</p>
<p>By adding &#8220;Flir&#8221; to every word imaginable, Deb and Liv, the creators of the site, blog, and of course self-help book, would love to sucker any young girl gullible enough to buy advice common sense should already be taking care of.  And of course, knowing America, this shit will be Oprah&#8217;s book of the month and on every self-professed 21st century girl&#8217;s bookshelf in 5 years.  It&#8217;s already <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2009/LIVING/05/08/flirtext.text.message.dating/index.html" target="_blank">hit CNN</a> in the form of a colossally flirtarded question and answer session.  Here&#8217;s a little sample:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>CNN:</strong> What abbreviations would you need to know in order to flirt over text messages?</p>
<p><strong>Debra:</strong> We say, &#8220;If you don&#8217;t wanna <span class="cnnInlineTopic">date</span>, abbreviate.&#8221; Too many abbreviations is a turn off, so be very careful. If you don&#8217;t have to abbreviate, then don&#8217;t. For &#8220;OK,&#8221; you can write the letter &#8220;k,&#8221; and for &#8220;are&#8221; you can write the letter &#8220;r,&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>As you can see, this is can&#8217;t miss advice.  Cell phone holographic projection can&#8217;t get here fast enough.  Then the ladies will have to rely on their looks again instead of words, like the Lord Almighty intended.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-311" title="Less Awkward Please" src="http://thereasonal.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/less-awkward.jpg" alt="Less Awkward Please" width="492" height="268" /></p>
<p>I&#8217;m always pleased and later turned on when websites post emails and letters from irrational users.  And <a href="http://awkwardfamilyphotos.com/2009/05/08/awkward-email/" target="_blank">this one</a> from newish yet entertaining blog AwkwardFamilyPhotos.com is no exception.  Apparently the site is too awkward for Greg to handle and he&#8217;d like them to tone it down a bit and work on the &#8220;righting&#8221;.  I&#8217;m going to right into FAIL Blog and suggest they post a few videos of people stumbling.  It&#8217;s getting a little too exciting over there.</p>
<p>Finally, for some always welcome prudishness, check out what Brak has to say in the comments section of the post.  He&#8217;s write.  I know I&#8217;m proud of myself.</p>
