censorship and your audience

i remember back in middle school i had to write a paper on censorship. at that time 2 Live Crew was at the center of this debate. in June 1990, As Nasty As They Wanna Be became the first record in America to be deemed "legally obscene".

i had no clue what i was writing about because the gangsta rap scene had not yet hit the quiet Warrenton neighborhood of Marstella II. at least not north of the big sledding hill.

this post has nothing to do with that (except i still dont know what i am talking about most times).

i am referring to a completely different type of censorship. one not controlled by courts or government, but one controlled by the audience of Ice Cold. Just before my hiatus last year i caught myself nixing posts that could possibly offend co-workers, friends, random black people, etc. in fear that they would read it here. i am here to tell you this is unacceptable for Ice Cold 3.0. i will no longer take into consideration "what if _____ reads this?" i dont care if _____ does read this, it is what i think, and i control this website** so you will listen to what i have to say.

of course this means that one day my daughter and her friends will be on the interweb and one of their friends will be like, "i found this AWESOME website! check it out". and she will fire up her virtual reality uber computer and do something really cool that we dont have yet to get here. she will read it and her face will turn red with embarrassment as she realizes that her father (the professional hunter, fisherman, beach layer) was actually a huge tool when he was younger. she will immediately pretend her mother is calling and run out of the room. "What mom?!! Be there in a second!"


** I do not control this website, I am at the mercy of the JT's

bathroom etiquette

I have written posts on bathroom etiquette in the past, this one adds an interesting third dimension to it. Homosexuals.
(synopsis from a conversation the other day with Daily Dwayne)

*IMPORTANT*
I do not have any issues with gay people. As a matter of fact I am a big supporter of do what (or who) you gotta do.

That being said, gay men in a public bathroom creates an interesting scenario. The urinal community is one of forced unity, just ask hoover about his shy bathroom issues. There are times that another man may inadvertently see another mans mule.

Here in lies the issue, wieners are like boobs to gay dudes right? If there were boobs exposed 3 feet away, you would look.

See where I am going with this. Do gay dudes in a public bathroom sneak peaks at hogs? If they do should I be offended? Again if there were boobs I would look so I cant blame him. What if he doesn't look? Am I not good looking enough?

Like the Phoenix from the ashes...

Here we are halfway through 2007. God I am getting old. I suspect that is the main reason for the hiatus over the past year or so.

It is not that I did not have anything fun or exciting happen, I did, it is just I was not sure documenting it here was worth it. I mean lets face it, do you want to hear me talk about my jobs (at a new one), home projects (shit breaks constantly), family (gorgeous wife and beautiful new baby girl), friends (the ones who are still around and the ones I have not seen in some time)? You have read those blogs, they don't really keep you interest do they? You read them cause you feel like you should, but really you are bored to high hell. That is not the goal here.

That being said you may ask "Why now?" or "Whats different?" Why resurrect Ice Cold from its peaceful dormant slumber? I'll tell you I have no fucking clue other than the fact that they have build spell checking into these things now. Seriously the equivalent of a wheelchair ramp for my spelling disability. That and I feel like I have things to say, funny things, provocative things, insightful things. Well maybe not that last one, but you get my drift. Also Hoover and Tucker keep bitching about it.

So we will try it out for a bit. I am looking towards monthly content, with a few fluffers in between (it is ok to laugh about fluffers here, thats what we do).

What will the first post to Ice Cold 3.0 be about? I know, but you will just have to wait...


... ok ok, its about homosexuals...
