Is it wrong?

Is it wrong for me to strongly be considering buying a Slash bumper sticker? I'm sorry, but the little cocks on the fish are just too funny for words. OKAY, so I'm going through the Slash First store (yes, I seem to have no life, and no money on top of that) and apart from the Squee! and PWP t-shirts which I cannot stop laughing over and secretly wondering why I'm not already buying them, apart from not having the courage to wear them publically... there's a H/C calendar for 2004. (There's nudity! Don't click if you're not prepared!!!) http://www.cafeshops.com/slash_first.8696424 And while I don't usually consider bondage as H/C (don't tell Obi) it's an interesting idea, no? Anyway, just thought I'd share. I stumbled on the Harry Potter Squick Fuh-Q-Fest(Note: ew ew ew!) and I think this is looking good in comparison. Yep. That must be it. Though I'm looking forward to the release in the Neville/Harry Fuh-Q-Fest much much! Did I mention I ran into a new-to-me Fuh-Q-Fest Listing?
Slash is such an interesting world... I was thinking about that on the drive today, around hour 4 or something, I think. A couple of my mailing lists are having similar conversations, about how slash is much more of a female-perceived sort of culture than anything to do with m/m sex. Which I agree with quite a lot. But at the same time, I like what it's become. It's just... interesting. I'm too tired I suppose to go through it all. But, yeah. Me likes much. Oh! And I stumbled on very a wonderful clique for Anti-Het tonight (making fun of anti-slash ones) Whoohoo! Okay, so I was reading a fanfic yesterday that was het, and I literally had to walk away. I know I write het from time to time, but I think slash has spoiled me! Most het just doesn't hold my interest any more. It's crazy. But yeah, I couldn't stomach it. Luckily this has had no significant impact on my own sex life. LOL Course I also turned down boyfriend's offer to sneeze for me during sex tonight. I dunno. Just didn't feel like it. I go through phases, I suppose. This is my "no live sneezing right now" phase, I guess. Not that I want dead people sneezing right now either, but you get my point. Gods, head hurts. I stop rambling and try to nap a little now I think. Ow. :-)

Hemi

So, okay, here's my observation of the month: Not many people actually KNOW what a HEMI is.

"Son, you only need to know one thing. Hemi. Can you say Hemi?" I can say it, and I can watch as all the people on the TV stand in awe of it. Doesn't mean I have any idea what the heck it is. So it's a powerful engine. Okay. I get that. But what exactly IS a hemi? Do those people actually know? Does ANYONE?
I personally think it's this big conspiracy- put out an amazing amount of hype, create buzz-phrases like "HEMI-powered" but don't actually explain WHAT a hemi is or how it's better or anything like that. So my thinking is that no one out there actually KNOWS what a Hemi is, really. All the men just act like it's this incredible thing because they're supposed to know what it is and be impressed. And so word of mouth spreads, and no one's brave/stupid enough to admit that they've no idea what a hemi actually is. I've asked 9 guys now: "What's a Hemi?" and none have known. Or else, it's this secret men share and they can't tell me. "A really powerful engine" was about as close as I got. Yeah. Thanks. Got that much from the commercials. But why are people supposed to be so incredibly impressed with it? I think it's all just one big secret. I think that a few people do know, and a few more bother to find out. And the rest of the male population just follows along exclaiming "Ohhhh! It's HEMI-powered!" because, darnit, that's what's in right now.

After an exhaustive search, I managed to find a brief explanation about the name/make-up from The Hemi. Still no idea how much better it is... but perhaps I am not supposed to know. I just find all this hype so very amusing. Then again, I avoid car racing and all, which is where I think this whole thing started, before they were mass-produced for horrid SUV's. So it's no wonder I don't know. I just find it interesting none of the commercials bother explaining or giving specs. They just build it up and make it look fantastic. And as usual, males drool and follow blindly. I don't really WANT to know what one is... I simply enjoy watching the males drool and then not be able to answer my questions. LOL
