I found Lonni’s Punani Waxing on Yelp by accident, but I sure am glad I did.
I guess.
Lonni is quick and she does a thorough job.
I was cleaned as a whistle when I came out.
I recommend getting your wax done at Lonni’s. She does a good job - always!
i won’t claim to be an expert on ass-waxing shops, but of the two i’ve tried, this is by *far* the best :D Lonni is quick and professional and the results are great. what more could you assk for?
Look at the website…it’s fucking weird, too.

The best part about this movie? One of the production assistants is named Nicholas Frisbie
A girl named Leah Lawler posted this on facebook and I can’t get any work done because all I wanna do is find “person screaming” sound effects and play them while I look at this. I’m so sorry for sharing this. EDIT: It also sounds awesome with “Children Cheering” sound effect.
In 1967, Henson was contracted by IBM to make a film extolling the virtues of their new technology, the MT/ST, a primitive word processor. The film would explore how the MT/ST would help control the massive amount of documents generated by a typical business office.
Ludicrous! Outstanding.

How To Use Port Tongs & Decant a Bottle of Vintage Port starring Roy Hersch
A video from For the Love of Port, a port-centric newsletter (the 65th issue is coming out soon!) which has been going strong since 2004.
According to his website, For the Love of Port’s editor-in-chief Roy Hersch was compelled to start this magazine because of a cryptic experience he shared with the president of Portugal after being invited to some bullshit wine conference:
June 2003, Roy was one of just two Americans selected by the Confraria do Vinho do Porto (Port Wine Brotherhood), which was attended by Portuguese President Sampaio. To honor his oath to the Confraria, Roy quit his day job and began writing a monthly newsletter, For The Love Of Port, in February 2004
For the Love of Port says the Port Wine Brotherhood was started in 1982 & includes a lot of silly costume bullshit and flights to Portugal, so it sounds awesome.
Anyway, watch the above video because Roy is a compelling onscreen figure.
My favorite things about this video are about to be listed:
Also, his newsletter should be called The Port Authority.
Good day.
