Friday’s Conversation Topics
This past week has given us al lot to talk about. The news never stops, does it?
So, as you’re out and about this weekend, or simply exchanging emails during your free communication weekend at Chemistry.com, these stories will prepare you with something interesting to say.
- The Chilean miners that survived 69 days trapped undergound, and captured the attention of hundereds of millions of people, landed in America and started with a tour of Hollywood yesterday. These men truly are real heroes and I wish them the best in their celebrity. (Article includes vieo of their arrival and parts of their first day’s visit.)
- Burger King fires employees after figuring out how to reset the printed text on receipts and insert “Fuck You” onto the copies given to customers (with news video). Hahaha, I’d rethink their firing and offer them a promotion to the marketing division.
- Man arrested after starting fire in house while burning photos of ex-girlfriend to appease current girlfriend. I have to wonder what the phots were of, possibly nude pictures? And how did the current girlfriend find them to start the arguement that lead to the burning of the photos? So many unanswered questions. The moral of the story? Get a safety deposit box for all your photographic keepsakes to avoid burning dowen your house. LOL.
- The new never-ending war against the TSA and security pat-downs and x-ray machines reaches a new low with breast cancer survivor forced to reveal her prosthetic breast during security check. Honestly, is there not a better way to safegurd us agianst terror attacks while preserving our personal privacy and our humanity on the whole? (“Don’t touch my junk” vidoe here or watch it below.) News article includes a wealth of information and more stories about the intrusiveness of the TSA security scans and pat-downs.
- Here’s one for creativity: Man pretends to be a plastic surgeon and offers women his skills as a “boob enhance doctor) and feels women up during “breast exams” in bars. Yes, he gets arrested. But you have to wonder how truthful his spiel was that he’d get women to allow him to touch their breasts in the bar for an “exam”. And how much alcohol did these women drink to allow themselves to get felt up. It’s a weird world out there, isn’t it? My favorite part of this article: “The Idaho Statesman website reported that Ross has a previous criminal record as a man but identifies herself as a woman and was booked into Ada County Jail as a female.”)
Have a great weekend!
Today’s Conversation Topics
A breath of fresh air
you might need to start a conversation.
Now, for a lot of people this isn’t a problem but if you’re like me having something to talk about takes work and effort. You need to be reading and paying attention to a lot of details. Or you need to know a lot about just a few things to be considered “knowledgeable” without being conceited or condescending towards others.
This post will give you a heads-up on a couple of current news stories that provide fodder for interesting conversations so you have something to say when the time comes for you to say something. So continue reading and feel free to use my comments about the stories as you see fit.
- Man stabbed when he doesn’t let his friends suck his blood. Well, really, he did let them suck his blood once so what’s his problem now? It is hard to find dependable friends these days isn’t it?
- Robot cars are among us. Google, the “Do no evil” mega-internet giant has been field testing robot cars for “unknown purposes” for a while now, on US streets. My fear is what happens if the robot cars decide to take over? Will Google’s unofficial motto be changed to “Yes we can”?
- Streaker arrested. Not just any nude runner, but the guy that tried to show off his gonads to President Obama for a cool $1 million dollars in prize money. Had I only known, either I’d have had my camera ready or tried to win the money myself…
Have a great day!
Friday’s Conversation Topic
This has been a hectic week for a lot of people in the news, from Kim Kardashian’s nude photos to Pastor Terry Jones wanting to burn Islam’s most holy book. If you’re usually at a loss in a conversation,where to start, when to jump in with an opinion, help is here.
Start reading and have a topic ready to converse about. You are welcome (in advance).
- Science offers the keys to sexy dancing. It was only a matter of time, really, before scientists told us what makes you attractive when you dance. Using motion technology the sexy dance is now laid bare for everyone to learn. All of the “two-left-footed” people are still excused.
- Sex toy study creates buzz. I know what you’re thinking and yes, this is about sex, even safer sex, not threesomes or anything like that. It’s surprising that they know so much about sex at the university level and how much they want to learn about women and their sex toy usage.
- Accounting rules gives GM $30 billion from nothing. If you’re planning on buying stock when the IPO happens, or if your broker suggests this, you’d better read this article and it’s quick lesson about fancy accounting rules and GM’s valuable “goodwill”.
- Court rules petty theft not a reason to be fired from job. Man wins back job after being sacked for charging his segway at work at a cost of 1.8 euro cents (2 pennies). Yeah, I know what you’re thinking… at least he wasn’t handing out porn pens to 6 year-olds.
- Google introduces search computer chip that can be implanted in brain. Your kid not smart enough? If he can figure out how to ask the question he’ll instantly have the answer with this latest Google product. “Do no evil” (Google’s unofficial motto), yeah, right.
Have a great weekend.

This is the place to read the most conversational news stories of the past week. After reading this post you’ll be prepared to converse with anyone, in any place.
Let’s get to it:
- Fried Beer. Beer-filled pretzel pocket is deep-fried to a golden brown. One bite and the escaping beer serves as a dipping sauce. Yes, the Texas State Fair offers their ten top treats of 2010 and yes, it includes a beer-filled pretzel that is deep fried. Go ahead, read about the other nine finalists.
- Dead phone leading to oversleeping could cost golfer big. Jim Furyk, number 6 ranked golfer is kicked out of the FedEx Cup because he’s late to tee time. He could lose as many as 16 places to be ranked 19th after missing the FedEx tournament. The model of phone was not disclosed….
- Woman happily recovering from “Blackberry Thumb” surgery. Doctors recommend that if you start to feel pain in your hands/fingers/thumbs while texting, take a break!
- Wearing low-riders in court? Prepare to be jailed. Yes, a New Orleans state judge gave a woman 10 days in jail for contempt of court by wearing jeans so low her panties and buttocks showed. Yup, finally a step towards decent dress or at least a reason to not have your belt confiscated… or some such thing… it’s all so confusing…
- Donald Bren, ranked 16th in Forbe’s list of billionaires, wins case to stop paying child support, and paying back child support, to his adult kids. I agree, there has to be a line drawn somewhere, right?

Great Conversation Topics
This week had some great news and some great entertainment, here are the highlights for you, so you have some interesting topics to talk about this weekend.
- John Travolta’s Dogs Run Over At Airport. Yes, the Travolta’s face another untimely death in the family, two in fact. The dogs were being walked at Bangor International Airport when struck by an airport service vehicle. Freak accident indeed.

- The Porsche!!! As only a teen can experience and a father can cry about… or is it the other way around? This is what happens when a teen crashes a $180,000.00 2010 Porsche Turbo.
Friday’s Conversation Topics
This Friday wraps up some great news stories that will help you with entertaining conversations with those you meet this weekend, even if all you do is click around to ChatRoulette.com.
I have to start this week’s news with one that affects us all: free speech in games versus protecting kids from graphic violence and suggestive sexual, often violent, depictions. While I don’t agree that the government has to babysit what we choose to watch I do agree that the standard should be higher to protect youth from violence, even if it is in movies or video/computer games.
- Supreme court will rule on violence in video games accessible to minors. Yes, someone has to define what is acceptable.
- Sandra Bullock files for divorce. So sad for Jesse James. Does this mean he’ll go back to making porn? And who’s going to get the lion’s share of the money, along with custody rights to a baby that isn’t either of theirs?
- Man eats 1,500 lightbulbs. Starting at age 12, Wang Xianjun, 54, of Sichuan Province has been eating lightbulbs. Not whole, of course, but in pieces. Regular doctor checkups show no adverse affects. His secret is being carefully monitored by the “Revolutionary Sex For Women” people… the relation escapes me.
- Man fined €14,000 for ‘ass-bombing pool’ in Germany. Not quite you think an ass-bomb is the equivalent to a cannonball jump into a pool… but this still qualifies for an interesting conversation topic, don’t you think?
Have a great weekend!
This Week’s Best Conversational News Stories
Time is running on!
Stay current, be interesting. Get prepared now by reading our conversation topic suggestions below.
- Is a robot or human better at kicking field goals? If you’ve ever been stumped by this question you now have the opportunity to find out the answer. This is good for a few great minutes of conversation and can lead to whole new areas of continuing the conversation too.
- Beware when you’re texting personal messages at work! If the place you work for and they supply you with a phone, they may have every right to “ckeck in” on what personal business you’re dealing with while on company property or using your employers electronics. For me it’s a no-brainer, they own it, they can do what they want, even if it means they are invading your privacy. Will the supreme court agree?
- ‘Balloon Boy’ dad to pay $36,000.00 restitution. I have to ask, is 36K enough of a deterrent to stop the next media-crazed individual to staging a news-worthy event for a media starved public? Time will tell. And you can keep up with today’s most popular video on this page.
- Craigslist Lovers. Henry Russell’s book, Craigslist Casual Encounters: The Hilarious and Disturbing World of Seeking Sex Online, is out listing some of the most freakish encounters that have been attempted to occur through the free classified site. Go ahead and read the article, you need a laugh about now anyways. Order your copy of the book here at Amazon.com
Have a great weekend!
Friday’s Conversation Topics
This Friday evening and weekend I want you to be well prepared for the conversations you will find yourself a part of.
Remember:
A woman that can contribute and lead conversations is a strong and attractive women.
The man that can keep up with the conversation and add exciting facts at appropriate moments becomes very interesting and exciting to the women that surround him.
So, this is your homework, read these selected articles and prepare yourself for some fun conversation this weekend!
- 13 year old boy will attempt to climb Mount Everest. Hell, I’d like to get out of my car without needing to catch my breath. But good for the kid, this effort will complete his goal of climbing mountains on all seven continents. Too bad he still has a couple of years to get to the top of “Mount Breast”.
- How women control men and influence people using Facebook. It’s about time someone stood up and told the truth about how women use social networking tools to maintain and control relationships online and offline. Of course, we also have to ask “Do online friends influence drinking habits“?
- Steven Seagal sued. Does he really own two Russian sex slaves? Full article at TMZ.com
- How not to use Craigslist.org. Woman posts ad “Come and get free stuff in the front yard” and people take most of the free stuff and thieves take the other stuff still inside the house, including fridge, stove, etc.
Friday’s Conversation Topics
I’d like to say that I don’t have much exciting news to share with you this week, and then your burden of reading, remembering and conversing about a wide range of topics would be lessened… but you’re not going to get out of this endevour that easily.
You need to know what’s going on so you can be the interesting person that we all know you want to be. So let’s get started, shall we?
- Easter is cancelled. More of just a picture than anything else, but we all have to start somewhere, right?
- Woman dressed as Easter bunny attacked… seriously, who knew this would be the second news item? My sense of humor, and the attacker, is still being searched for.
- Is an Apple iPad in your future? Not if you’re Jon Byron. Or other such odd, non-Apple-consumer-driven-robots like the millions that swear by their iPhone or iTouch, or Nano, etc… but still have yet to buy a real Apple computer (since the 1980′s). Hell, I can think of more than 20 reasons why I don’t want one. But I know that I’ll have one by latest being the second version to be released, probably in the summer. For that matter, anyone want to buy my used iPad? (Note: how to read comic books with your iPad video)
- Unpaid air hostesses strip in protest. From Rueters ‘Oddly Enough’ category. This article is complete with pictures and video. Curious enough to look yet? Yes, it is about women not getting paid by their employer so they get even by taking off their clothes and posing for a calendar. This never happens where I work. Never ever. The stripping part, not the getting paid on time part. At least the stripping by the women under 25. The old bats will take their clothes off at the drop of a dime. LOL
- Turn your hot tub into a time machine. No, not the funny, lame-assed movie, this is about the real deal! Read and get ready to travel anoytime, anywhere. Everyone except you physics majors, anyways.
Have a great weekend!
Friday’s Conversation Topics
This past week, like many others we have experienced in this young year, has been full of interesting and conversational stories. Read and remember, you’ll need to be up-to-date to be a part of some great conversations this weekend.
- Facebook can give you syphilis. Yes, sadly this is a true, weird story. Or a lame-assed grab at some headlines on a slow news day. But think about this, the more people can connect the more they can pass along an STD. Of course, social networking sites also allow for some very bad music becoming popular too.
- Full body scanner operator warned about sexual harassment. When these machines were being distributed in January on a mass scale, I made a bet that it would take two weeks before someone was brought up on such “peek-a-boo” charges. Sure, it took longer than I thought, but I was still found right.
- Cash falls out of armored car… and guess what? Lots of motorists stop, pick up bundles of cash and leave. The scary part is they may be fearful of spending their ‘windfall’ after a possible threat of being charged with grand theft is made by local police.
- You have to wonder when teachers pull this kind of crap. Teachers, as a science lesson, fake a shooting and teacher’s death to teach the 10 - 13 year olds hanging out in the schoolyard and ten minutes later call them inside to tell them it was all a joke. UGH.
- Bush wipes hand on Clinton’s shirt. Yes, complete with video.
Have a great weekend.

After all, if you have nothing interesting to say then you are boring! And we don’t want to be boring, right?
Ok then, now that all that is settled, here are this week’s most interesting topics for you as selected by me:
- 10 stupid things you shouldn’t do with a camera around. I think the article title says it all (with photos, sfw).
- Meet the computer that can meet your mind. It was only a matter of time, right?
- War hero get’s reprimanded for managing the battle that he received a Silver Star of bravery for. This is when bad things get a lot worse for all people in uniform.
- Is latest Prius driver acceleration victim faking for a big payday? This background info casts a very big shadow on the whole episode. And is he really running a shadow life involving swinging and mysterious thefts?
- Sony introduces new PS3 motion controller. This really isn’t news, it’s a product press release. But it showed up in so many places that I am starting to wonder what really is news these days… here and here. Why did I even bother with this one? Good question.
- What do you do when you have a dead moose in your yard? First thing, get your puppy away from it. Second thing: Open up the Yellow Pages and find a “moose carcass removal service”. Sounds easy, right?
Have a great weekend!
