A Downtown EastSide Christmas

Ho, ho, hotels all over the Downtown EastSide keep Christmas in their own unique ways. Unlike the Chinese restaurants that simply layer new tinsel over the old and leave the whole spangly mess up all year round, the hotels and flophouses, to be fair, do try to get into the spirit of things at the time, each in its own way.

The Patricia, flyer of the Red Ensign, bastion of respectability, old-fashioned refinement, microbrewed house beer, and sad old run-down gentlemen who still stand when a lady walks into the pub:

The Patricia, Ho, ho, ho!

 

The Drake, a somewhat different establishment:

The Drake and its hos.

Schweddy balls

Not your mother’s NPR holiday cooking show…

“Would you like to see my balls, ladies?”

“Whip ’em out!”

“Mmmmmmmmmmm…”

No-one can resist my Schweddy balls.”

Ladies and gentlemen, from Conan O’Brian and the deep blue sea comes the Horny Manatee! Be sure to click through all the galleries, including Upskirt Shots, Shaved Manatee, and Fetish Manatee, and don’t miss the Live Webcam!

your morning coffee

raincoaster latteor latte. Or cappuccino. Or whatever you prefer, as the case may be. We are all ecumenical-like about the caffeinated beverages here on the ol’ raincoaster blog.

Stole this from the mighty, mighty Generator Blog. God knows I’ve tried doing the latte-picture-pour myself, but somehow it always comes out looking like a vagina. Still, popular with a certain segment of the customer base.

                  I mean, frankly, you have got to be fucking kidding me.

                  Okay, so I’m turning over all kinds of rocks looking for a job here. Going to interviews only to find out the company is hiring people to write high-school papers for foreign students. Scripting internet porn (who knew it was scripted????). Pyramid-scheming for the Russian mob. But this has to be the all-time worst writing job I’ve ever seen; the earnest, wholesome and chatty veneer is the blood-curdling icing on the – sorry – cake.

                  Hair Care Down There Magazine

Hair Care Down There, y

                 Seriously, a magazine about pubic hair care. Quotes:

                  We’re pleased you’re joining the growing number of women (and men) who realize that good grooming includes the previously ignored area “down there’s not just about hygiene either.
                  It’s about feeling good about ourselves and having fun in the process.

                  [one has to wonder about their idea of “fun,” really]

                  Where do you go when you have a question about shaving, or you want to share your own hysterical story? [totally; nothing goes together like pubes, razors and hysteria!] Right here! Our writers and editors are working around the clock to dig up any and every bit of information regarding – what else – Hair Care Down There.

                  [“Dig” winner, most unfortunate image deployment, 2005]

                  Why we do it. How to do it better. Who’s doing what. And more.
                  Articles, Q&A’s, tips and a place to swap ideas, all updated the minute we unearth something new. We value and welcome your suggestions and contributions and we invite you to visit often.

                  [if I unearth something new down there I go see a doctor!]
