• Sloppy Seconds: Penis Photos, Delta Burke, Sadness After Sex and Burlesque

  A man in Berlin is in trouble for sending photos of his penis to random women via his camera phone. But apparently he's not in too much trouble. The judge's take: "We all had a bit of a laugh when we saw the thing." Our favorite Designing Woman Delta Burke is in a psychiatric hospital. (You think we're joking about her being our favorite, but one year we dressed up as Delta Burke for Halloween.) Sadness after sex is so.... sad. You're supposed to be all sweaty, and sleepy and satiated.  Scanner Emily is taking a burlesque class tonight. Or maybe she's just visiting Delta Burke in the looney bin and doesn't want to tell you. Or maybe her burlesque character is Delta Perk. Either way, full report tomorrow.

  I, Scanner Emily, like to drink. I also like to dabble in technology. These two things usually do not get me into trouble... on their own. Friday night I was out with some friends and one asked about a guy I've gone on a couple dates with. I got out my phoneputer and went to Facebook mobile. Facebook popped up, and I put the guy's name into the text field. His picture didn't show up. I was confused. I was drunk. So it took me a few minutes to realize I'd updated my status to say this guy's name: "Emily John John.*" It was too late to make it disappear completely (Facebook gives you a few seconds to "correct" your status), so I decided the only thing to do was send a text message explaining what I'd just done, in case he'd seen it (because, of course, he's my Facebook friend): "Embarrassing confession in case you see it: I'm out with a friend who asked about you. I got on facebook and tried to put your name into search on my phone and am pretty sure I just updated my profile to say 'emily john john.' I am very embarrassed and not a freak. Oops. Whiskey and phoneputers do not mix." At least it wasn't as bad as the time I accidentally sent my mom a dirty text message. Read More...
