I’ll probably go to Hell for this, but I think all the great ones are there!

27 Vintage Adds That Would Be Banned Today

Posted on October 3, 2012 by theferkel

We all know that they used to advertise cigarettes ever since they were invented (duh, first rule of marketing, if you sell it, do tell people!) and that only recently they’ve been regulated to appear in magazines only (and without any people actually smoking) and with 10% of the add telling you how much harm they can do.
Way back when, they did not have these rules and today, these adverts would have been banned.

I keep thinking of all my days in school and I’ve been asked by my cousin whether I have ever cheated on a test.
Yes – it was Latin. I had copied all the conjugations of the verbs and then put them in the plastic covers of my notebook. Easy to read, easy to cheat. Especially as I did not like Latin at all. The only thing I do remember is the lovely quote “Aquila non capit muscas” (The Vulture does not catch flies) meaning that a big man should not be concerned with small issues. Heh! I understood from this something else. A fly is always so small and so quick that no vulture can catch it. Be a small fry and nobody can crush you lol.

In college, our teacher was against copying so he brought up the official cheats. Meaning you had an A4 sheet available during the exam that you could bring with you from home. On this sheet, you could have written the most important formulas, pieces of code you could not remember, and if your writing was small enough, the entire college course that you could use as a reference. The coolest in the group would come with an empty sheet. I was not cool and I had very very tiny handwriting.

So, no, I did not cheat, copy or had straying eyes during exams. I guess my parents were not like this guy:

So – my question today: did you ever cheat during an exam and if yes, how and why?

30 Days of Blogging Honesty – Day 22

Posted on April 22, 2012 by theferkel

Day 22 — Allowing another person to fully love me means they must…

get over my rowdy nature. I ain’t gonna change and that’s set. I have some habits that are well set in stone and I have quite a personality. I use it to the max when I want something.
I’m not nagging but I’m definitely demanding. Persuasion, manipulation, “what if this was you” kind of questions. They all work.
Being a woman is a hard task. Being a lovable woman is a lot of work. All men have their ideals set by their mothers or grandmothers. A woman should cook. A woman should keep the house tidy. A woman should never ask the man why he’s doing what he’s doing. A woman should never interfere in a discussion with an original opinion. Taking care of kids. Being pretty all day long with a manicure and pedicure and salon hair.
Well screw that! I can’t cook to save my life. I clean occassionally and on small surfaces. I always butt in and ask him why he’s doing stuff when I can’t work it out on my own and I never shut up. About anything. I occasionally wear makeup (only when I’m going out and never with him) and only go to a hair salon every two years. A friend of mine trims the end of my long beautiful mane of hair every 6 months for free.
He loves me in spite of all these things and sometimes I think he loves me for these things specifically. I am nothing like he’s seen before and he hasn’t seen all of me yet.

And now – a few tips from when women were lovable women!
