Mahatma Meets Mary Poppins

Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail, and, with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him... a super-callused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

Back To Our Roots

Ever since Bill O'Reilly's phone sex revelations, I just can't look at a falafel the same way again.

And it's also generalized to pita bread.

And once during an orgasm I screamed out "Hummus!!!"

But enough about me.

Thanks to Russell for pointing out the image.

I've Gotcher Special Sauce Right Here, Baybee

Bachelor#1: good evening
abbytaylor2: Hi.

Bachelor#1: now that sounds like fun
Bachelor#1: sounds like u need help lol
Bachelor#1: dont u
abbytaylor2: I need serious help on many different levels.

Bachelor#1: like what
abbytaylor2: Like help with housework, grocery shopping, help winning the lottery, therapeutic help. If you have any lottery leads, I'd appreciate them.

Bachelor#1: heck all i want is to be ordered arond by a dominant lady and mabye have her make my fantasies come true
abbytaylor2: I command you to get me the winning lottery ticket. How's that?

Bachelor#1: well i was thinking about her making me eat a few things i dont like
abbytaylor2: You mean like on Fear Factor?

Bachelor#1: well i mean real food not that stuff
abbytaylor2: Like Big Macs and stuff?

Bachelor#1: yes
Bachelor#1: like salads
Bachelor#1: salad dressings
Bachelor#1: mayo

abbytaylor2: You want someone to command you to eat mayonnaise? Fat free or regular?

Bachelor#1: well really i'd like her to force me to eat it
Bachelor#1: i guess it would be her choice

abbytaylor2: Who would you rather have do this? say... Condi Rice, or Yoko Ono?

Bachelor#1: YOU
abbytaylor2: Nah, last time I forced someone to eat mayonnaise, I ended up marrying them.

Bachelor#1: u did not
abbytaylor2: Well, we didn't start with mayonnaise. We started with mustard and worked our way up.

Bachelor#1: are u for real
abbytaylor2: Some would say no. Others would say yes.

Bachelor#1: so tell me what u done to him

abbytaylor2: Well we started out with French's mustard on the right nipple. Then Honey Dijon on the left. Then some ketchup sprinkled here and there. Kraft Thousand Island Lite Done Right on his torso.

Bachelor#1: and he really didn't lik mustard
abbytaylor2: Oh, he HATED mustard. He was afraid of yellow.

Bachelor#1: did he like mayonnaise
Bachelor#1: what made u decide that he needed to learn to eat it

abbytaylor2: Mayonnaise was too much of a commitment at first. Mustard is a gateway condiment. Mustard has no fat and very little calories. So as condiments go, it's pretty good for you.

It's For Our Own Good... Really (Part Two)

Recently we got National ID cards with even more of our private information linked into national databases because the legislation was buried in a "support our troops" bill.

And buried within the "No Child Left Behind" Act?

A provision which allows military recruiters to get private contact information for students in public HIGH SCHOOLS.

Yes. High Schools.

And better yet, it requires the public high school to hand over the information or risk losing funding. There is a requirement for schools to inform parents on how to opt-out, but there are some questions as to how effectively this is being done across the nation.

As the law currently stands the only way to prevent having your child's personal contact information (yes, this means YOUR child's name, home address, and phone number) released to military recruiters is to opt-out formally and in writing.


There is a very simple, but important, amendment to this law in the works, sponsored by U.S. Representative Mike Honda. It's called the Student Privacy Protection Act, designed to make sure schools release private information to recruiters ONLY if families request it.

Rep. Honda is trying to get as many private citizens as possible on board in support of the amendment so he can get additional cosponsors in the House.

The website www.leavemychildalone.org has many resources, including an easy online petition of support for Rep. Honda's amendment, directions for how to opt-out under the current law, and other information if you'd like to get more involved to protect your child's and family's privacy.

It's No Child Left Behind: The Creepy Dark Underbelly.

Here at Falafel Sex we like humor.

I wish I could think of something funny to say about this.

If You Don't Use Something, Set It Free

No, no. This isn't another relationship post.

I'm in the midst of simplifying my life. Throwing out, giving away, selling on ebay, burning ritualistically... you know, the usual.

Part of my game plan involves a little online community known as FreeCycle.

FreeCycle is a simple concept.

Got something you don't want? Give it away to someone who wants it. Want something? Ask for it and maybe someone out there has one they want to part with.

Usually the listings are fairly boring and predictable.

27 inch television that only works some of the time.
Box of fiction books.
Children's clothing.

But occasionally some of the listings make ya think, such as these collected over the last month:

"OFFER: Nursing bras.
I have two nursing bras that would like a new home. I cannot read the size, but I am thinking the size is 44DDD."


What are the odds the person who wanted these was neither pregnant nor female?



"OFFER: 16 Mickey Mouse napkins. Good condition."

For those people who had 16 Mickey Mouse plates but just couldn't find those matching napkins.



"OFFER: 20+ Sealed Metal Barrels

We have around 20 sealed metal barrels if anyone would like to come and get them."

Somebody get George on the phone, I think we found your WMD's.




"WANTED: Elvis costume pattern.

KING Elvis jumpsuit costume PATTERN with cape size 44. I have one but the cape, cuff, and facing pieces are gone."





"WANTED: I am in need of 4 55-gallon drums with lids and 2 belt type pullies."







So if anyone has that Elvis costume pattern, please email me privately.

I already have the nursing bra, napkins, and 55 gallon drums and pullies, so now I'm just one costume short of a party.

What Is This?

It's a Brain Sucker.

What's it doing?

Sperm: The 'gift' that keeps on giving
Court dismisses man's theft claim against lover who kept semen

"An appeals court said a man can press a claim for emotional distress after learning a former lover had used his sperm to have a baby. But he can’t claim theft, the ruling said, because the sperm were hers to keep."

"The ruling Wednesday by the Illinois Appellate Court sends Dr. Richard O. Phillips’ distress case back to trial court. Phillips accuses Dr. Sharon Irons of a “calculated, profound personal betrayal” after their affair six years ago, saying she secretly kept semen after they had oral sex, then used it to get pregnant."

(If Monica is reading this Bill may be in BIG trouble- Mark Alread)

"He said he didn’t find out about the child for nearly two years, when Irons filed a paternity lawsuit. DNA tests confirmed Phillips was the father, the court papers state. Phillips was ordered to pay about $800 a month in child support, said Irons’ attorney, Enrico Mirabelli."

"Phillips sued Irons, claiming he has had trouble sleeping and eating and has been haunted by “feelings of being trapped in a nightmare,” court papers state."

"Irons responded that her alleged actions weren’t “truly extreme and outrageous” and that Phillips’ pain wasn’t bad enough to merit a lawsuit. The circuit court agreed and dismissed Phillips’ lawsuit in 2003."

"But the higher court ruled that, if Phillips’ story is true, Irons 'deceitfully engaged in sexual acts, which no reasonable person would expect could result in pregnancy, to use plaintiff’s sperm in an unorthodox, unanticipated manner yielding extreme consequences.' "

(Sounds like a pretty average night out to me- Someone other than Mark Alread)

"The judges backed the lower court decision to dismiss the fraud and theft claims, agreeing with Irons that she didn’t steal the sperm."

“She asserts that when plaintiff 'delivered' his sperm, it was a gift — an absolute and irrevocable transfer of title to property from a donor to a donee,” the decision said. “There was no agreement that the original deposit would be returned upon request.”

(In some states you get a 5 cents deposit back when you return soda bottles, why not sperm?- Mark Alread)

Phillips is representing himself in the case. He could not be reached for comment Thursday.

“There’s a 5-year-old child here,” Mirabelli said. “Imagine how a child feels when your father says he feels emotionally damaged by your birth.”

(Imagine how a child feels when they find out their conception was one swallow away from oblivion- Mark Alread)

Pope Benedict XVI gives thumbs up to beer
"VATICAN -- You might think the new pope would prefer water or wine, but Pope Benedict XVI has given the thumbs up to … beer."



"Thanks to the pope, a German brewery is enjoying new success thanks to his 'endorsement.'"

"A Stuttgart brewery had been struggling to sell its wheat beer, until pictures showed then -Cardinal Ratzinger enjoying the brew every once in a while."



"So when the new pope was elected, white smoke not only emerged from the Sistine Chapel, but from the brewery’s chimney as well."

"This past weekend, the brewery sent a beer truck to Rome delivering 185 gallons of beer to the pope."

After that much beer you had better stay away from this Vatican staircase.

Runaway Bride: Why She Did It

Now what really happened to the runaway bride Jennifer Wilbanks and potentially future Mrs Mason with:



Jennifer 8 under mind probe surrogation:
“At this time, I cannot fully explain what happened to me last week. I had a host of compelling issues, which seemed out of control; issues from which I was unable to address or confide. Such as how do I know after Carousel I will be renewed. Where do the people who fly into the air and burst into flames go? Please, may I assure you that my running away had nothing to do with cold feet nor was it ever about leaving John."







"Those who know me know how excited I’ve been and how excited I was about the spectacular wedding we planned and how I could not wait to be called Mrs. John Mason.”

The young couple pose for their engagement pictures.


Fellow sandman and best man for the wedding Michael York partying it up at John's Bachelor party.

"In my mind, it was never about timing. I mean I had been a red for a long time and when my life crystal began flashing I knew I would have to take my chances at carousel and try for a renewal. However unfortunate. I was simply running way from myself and from certain fears controlling my life. Such as my doubts of carousel renewal and do I really wanna spin around a rotating stage then fly up in the air like an idiot and burst into flames."



"Each day, I’m understanding more about who I am and the issues that have influenced me to respond inappropriately and begin my search for the legendary "Sanctuary." Somewhere near Albuquerque."

"I’m sorry for the troubles I've caused and I offer my deep and sincere apology. I ask for John’s forgiveness and that of his family. I also ask of forgiveness of my family, our friends, our respective churches, our communities, the best man, the brides maids, the flower girl, the caterer, the florist, the minister, the chaufeur, all major media outlets and anyone who may have turned on a television set and had to endure endless newscasts about my flight."

"I am deeply grateful and appreciative to everyone who responded on my behalf. I thank you for every expression of support and effort. Your sacrifices of time and personal inconvenience touched me deeply. Especially Micahel York for chasing me half way across America blasting his flaming death gun yelling "Runner, you can't hide!!!"

Georgia tradition holds that if the Bride bolts before the ceremony, the Best Man hunts her down and brings her back.

" I truly hope your spirit of care is not lessened I understand that many people wanted to hear from me personally today and I wanted to be here, however, I look forward to the days ahead when I am strong enough to speak for myself. Look for a renewed me in nursery as Jennifer 9"

Twat's That On Your Face?!?

A woman on the Oprah show mentioned she has a secret weapon in her facial wrinkle fighting armory.

Vaginal Cream.

The woman said her doctor suggested she try it, and she's been using it on her face for twenty years. Though she's been very satisfied with the results, other doctors are now suggesting it ain't such a good idea to put something designed for your vagina on your face.

Though come to think of it....

... oh, no, wait. I digress.



Personally, I think this woman is very brave to admit in a public forum that she smears vaginal cream all over her face.

Her bravery has, in turn, given me the courage to admit this:









I put Astroglide on my salad.

It's For Our Own Good.... Really.

From http://www.unrealid.com/index.html

"This Tuesday, the US Senate is scheduled to vote on the implementation of a national ID card system. The Real ID Act is nothing less than a Real National ID Act. The only thing left to the individual states is to decide which pretty picture they will choose to put on the card: everything else will be controlled by Washington DC bureaucrats.

The Real ID Act has never been debated on the US Senate floor. They've never talked about it in any committee. Heck, most of them haven't even read it! Yet they're planning to vote on it on Tuesday, no questions asked.

In order to make a single irresponsible Congressman with totalitarian leanings happy, the Senate leadership let him write the bill and then slipped it into a another bill, one that would keep our fighting men and women taken care of in Iraq and Afghanistan. Supporting our troops means making sure they come home to a free nation, not a surveillance state."

Supernanny, the Final Episode

She has implemented her methods stressing consistency, communication, reasonable consequences, and loving firmness to help even the most out-of-control families achieve peace and cohesiveness.

But, is she ready for the single most formidable task she has ever faced in her life?

"YES!!!"

Introducing... Jo Frost in her new role as...

White House Supernanny!!



Sent to Washington D.C. by a desperate electorate, White House Supernanny analyzes the situation and sets the first task for the White House:

George W. Bush must first clean up his own country before he can invade another.

Here we see a troubled little president coming to terms with the newly imposed limits on his power.



Behind the scenes, Dick Cheney and Karl Rove realize that with Supernanny cleaning up the White House, their hold on the administration is in danger of slipping away.

Cheney and Rove team up with Tony Blair who is desperate after the recent election, and Ms. Frost is called back on an emergency trip to England.

But upon her arrival at the gate at Washington Dulles International Airport, Ms. Frost (code name "Poppins") is met by several members of Homeland Security.

When asked where they were taking her, they replied, "To the Naughty Spot, Ma'am."

If Abstinence Becomes Stressful: Another Falafel Sex Public Service Post

Comments from the recent public service post on abstinence suggest some people are becoming stressed or despondent about their strivings toward sexual health and purity. We at Falafel Sex feel... your... pain. If nothing else, we are here to help.

SPANK HELPS BEAT BLUES
GETTING a smack on the backside can cheer you up, an expert claimed yesterday.

Being spanked daily by a member of the opposite sex is said to help beat stress and depression.

It may ease withdrawal symptoms for drink and drug addicts. And even whipping yourself is thought to be beneficial.

Dr Sergei Speransky, director of Biological Sciences at Siberia's highly-respected Novosibirsk Institute, made the findings.

He said the stinging sessions activate endorphin receptors, creating a rush of feel-good hormones.

Dr Speransky led a study of 20 recovering addicts. They were whipped, or whipped themselves, 60 times on the buttocks each day for a month.

He admitted they didn't like it at first. But he added: "When they started to feel the benefits they kept asking for more.

"The patient starts seeing only bright colours in the surrounding world, the heartache disappears though it will take time for the buttocks to heal."


Personally, all this spanking research is making me crave a big burrito.

For those of you keeping score, file this under "Posts That Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time."

History Of The Burrito Bomb

As a follow up to the earlier Burrito Of Mass Destruction post, we would like to educate our readers on the positive aspects of Burritoes.


Everyone knows about the birth of the atomic bomb and its devestating historic use. But how many know about its link to the birth of the Burrito bomb and its unsung contribution to the world.

A few days after the nuclear device Little Boy was unleashed on the city of Hiroshima from the Enola Gay another B29 super fortress named Bockscar let loose Fat Man onto the city Nagasaki. Not only was there great carnage created from the intitial blast and resulting radioactive fall out. But there was a severe impact on their infrastructure contaminating water and food sources.

In the true American Spirit of "You broke it, you bought it" United States Armed forces that once attacked and killed these people undertook a huge mobilization of aid to the recently surrendered former enemy. Originally large quanitites of indigenous cuisine featuring Chinese, Japanese and Thai food was air dropped into remote locations for distribution among the starving masses. Unfortunately within an hour of consuming the food the relief recipients were hungry again.

So the decision is made to carpet bomb the country side with a more robust and filling food supplement. Operation "Holy Guacamole" was off to a bold start in delivering more raw tonnage of quality food stuffs to their intended target.

Holy Guacamole was a failure.

The one ton open ended burrito design created an easy to transport payload but upon falling to the earth it would spill its contents across the country side while huge flour tortillas would later fllutter to the ground.

Enter three brilliant Manhattan Project scientists.


Robert "Oppie" Oppenheimer


Niels "Da Boar" Bohr


Enrico "The Firm" Fermi

Regretting the use of their "creation of instant destruction" these men dedicated their talents and energy into promoting the bettering of the state of mankind. They figured if they could build a fission bomb to tear atoms apart with catastrophic energy used to kill people they could design a delivery vehicle to effectively provide quality nourishment to the people affected by their former creation. Commenting on the eureka moment they would later say...


And the Chipoltle Project was born.

The basic design concept that helped propel the Chipoltle Project to succeed where Holy Guacamole could not, was based on the aluminum wrapping encasing the burrito's contents protecting it from wind chill and from prematurely opening up mid air. Tail fins were added to assure precise targeting of the burrito bomb.


Early test drops proved this new technique could effectively deliver piping hot burritos on target and intact giving the maximum burrito bomb yield many fold over previous conventional burrito delivery methods.


Early Design drawings show how an already proven technology could quickly be converted into a powerful device for mercy.

Thus Fat Man II, the Calorie Creator was born.

School Mistakes Huge Burrito for a Weapon

Fri Apr 29, 4:08 PM ET

"A call about a possible weapon at a middle school prompted police to put armed officers on rooftops, close nearby streets and lock down the school. All over a giant burrito. Someone called authorities Thursday after seeing a boy carrying something long and wrapped into Marshall Junior High. The drama ended two hours later when the suspicious item was identified as a 30-inch burrito filled with steak, guacamole, lettuce, salsa and jalapenos and wrapped inside tin foil and a white T-shirt."

"The burrito was part of Morrissey's extra-credit assignment to create commercial advertising for a product. "We had to make up a product and it could have been anything. I made up a restaurant that specialized in oddly large burritos," Morrissey said."

After I read this article about a burrito being mistaken for a weapon I Googled "Burrito Bomb" and came across this hilarious post by Deviant Six.

The Gut Bomb Burrito

By DeviantSix - November 7, 2001

Bug and I are planning to jump the sinking vessel known as the Bay Area and set up shop on the East Coast. Among the many things I will miss is the taqueria. Taqueria is just a fancy term for a cafateria–like restaurant where authentic Mexican food is cooked by authentic Mexicans. In the Bay Area there is a taqueria on just about every corner or wedged in neatly between a house of worship and an abortion clinic.

Most taquerias don't even have a name other than The Taqueria and they make great points of reference when giving out directions. "Turn left at the 18th taqueria, right at the 3rd taqueria, keep going until you reach the 5th taqueria, and the party is right across the street from the 6th taqueria."

I don't care what people's feelings are towards illegal immigrants. They make some damn good food and for that reason I think they should be able to stay. In fact one visit to the nearest taqueria has fed me for a week. You can get your tacos, enchiladas, chips and salsa, tamales, and tostadas, but if you are planning to hibernate for the winter than your option would have to be The Gut Bomb Burrito.

Most taquerias offer their personalized version of The Gut Bomb Burrito. If you aren't lucky enough to find a taqueria that calls it The Gut Bomb Burrito then they probably disguised on their menu using words like "grande", "mucho", and "holifuckinmoli–yi–yi–yi!"

The ingredients of the Gut Bomb Burrito are tightly packed into a tortilla the size of a NASA satellite dish that includes beef, chicken, steak, fish, pork, veal, crab, tofu, spam, sea monkeys, 4 types of cheese, 3 types of beans, guacamole, spanish rice, oysters, sour cream, pesto sauce, alfredo sauce, mild peppers, hot peppers, rubber cement, cheerios, salsa, a tire iron, skim milk, saltine crackers, carrots, sheet rock screws, hand lotion, magazine clippings, a dash of season–all, and one peso.

Once all the ingredients have been expertly placed into the tortilla a crew of three sit on it while a fourth party welds it shut. It is then covered with an entire roll of tin foil (and duct tape in the case of the Xtreme Gut Bomb Burrito) and loaded unto a forklift for delivery to your table or car. If you don't own an open bed truck then plan on picking away at your Gut Bomb Burrito at the taqueria until it's small enough to fit inside a standard compact car.

It generally takes about a week to completely consume The Gut Bomb Burrito and in that time your stomach will increase to the size of a 55 gallon Hefty Cinch Sack. No further meals will be needed for another month.

I am not exactly sure why I bothered to even write this article other than the fact that we haven't posted in the Food and Travel section for awhile (what the fuck the connection between food and travel is I couldn't tell you). But it is also rare that we give props to anything on End Culture and The Gut Bomb Burrito is truly a praise worthy food item and deserves our respect.

Phoney Lance Armstrong Bracelets

http://www.10nbc.com/index.asp?template=item&story_id=13749
"You've probably seen people around town wearing yellow wristbands. They're a fashion craze with a cause. Proceeds from the Livestrong bracelets go toward cancer research. But I-Team 10 has found that there are some out there who are lining their pockets by selling knock-offs. The Livestrong bracelets are an easy way to show your support for someone who is battling cancer. When you buy one of the real Livestrong bands you're also helping in the fight against the deadly disease. But some consumers may be buying fakes and not even know it."

We at FalafelSex would like to encourage anyone wishing to purchase a Lance Armstrong foundation LiveStrong bracelet to please consider purchasing them directly from the Lance Armstrong Foundation website store at http://www.store-laf.org/ They only cost a dollar each and you know that when you purchase through the official website you will be helping people around the world who are living with cancer.

Beware of phoney Asian made knock off bracelets. Not only do they NOT assist the LAF but they may have noticeable manufacturing defects.

Bolton Changes His Tune

John Bolton telling the Senate Foreign Relations Committee he is really anxious to get his hands around Secretary-General Kofi Annans neck

Bullies need not apply
Monday, April 18, 2005 Posted: 11:01 AM EDT (1501 GMT)
http://www-cgi.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/04/18/bullies/

WASHINGTON (Creators Syndicate) -- Tell me that Bob Jones III, the president of the segregationist South Carolina university of the same name, has been nominated as chairman of the Civil Rights Commission.

Tell me that Father Dan Berrigan, the antiwar Jesuit priest, had just been named commandant of the Marine Corps or that Sir Elton John will be the new president of the Teamsters Union.

But don't tell me that the United States Senate, which likes to be called the "the world's greatest deliberative body" will vote to confirm President Bush's pick of John Bolton to be the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations...

Bolton on paper has strong credentials. What John Bolton tragically lacks, according to the first-hand testimony of people who have worked with him, is the human touch or mature temperament so important in a colleague and so indispensable in a diplomat.

Sucking up to your superiors and mistreating, even tormenting, your juniors is unprincipled but, sadly, not uncommon. Character, or the lack thereof, is revealed in how someone with power treats someone without power and without the capacity to retaliate.


In an effort to change his brutally unpopular image and possibly gain acceptability as a "compasionate conservative" John Bolton has released several touchy feely albums.
