<div>As the queen of crass <a href="http://www.livitluvit.com/">LiLu</a> puts it:</div>
<div><em>***Alright, folks, you know the rules. Join us all in humiliating the crap out of yourself every Thursday by sharing some completely tasteless, wholly unclassy, “how many readers can I estrange THIS week??” TMI story about your life. Or hell, about someone else’s!</em></div>
<p>Lilu is out of town for a while, but she has provided us with a series of very special TMI Thursday post secret posts. Make sure to check them out&#8230;. And for more TMI than you could ever imagine, check out her<a href="http://www.livitluvit.com/category/tmi-thursday"> TMI archives</a>!</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">I&#8217;m doing TMI a little different this week. I have a friend &#8220;Moops&#8221; who has asked several times for me to talk about him on my blog.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Well sir, I&#8217;ll do better than that. You have officially been email roasted. TMI Thursday style. </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">The following are emails that I copied straight from an email  conversation that happened yesterday afternoon.<br />
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">I wrote the first email to a group of my friends when I realized I was having a difficult time coming up with a post for today. Moops spent the better part of the afternoon traveling all over the country for work, so didn&#8217;t get to check his email until the damage had been done.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"> Luckily, he&#8217;s a good sport. (I hope.)<br />

<p><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Hey friends,<br />
<span style="color: #ff00ff;"><br />
Moops has been wanting me to talk about him in my blog for a while&#8230; As I am completely brain dead today,I was thinking that you guys could help me out with thinking of a good story.<br />
<span style="color: #ff00ff;"><br />
I know there must be many stories out there that I could tell that would be considered TMI about our friend in question.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff00ff;">The first one that first comes to mind&#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Remember when we were calmly talking in the living room, and out of nowhere Moops reached down his pants, into his butt hole and then proceeded to stick his fingers in my mouth???! Just because &#8221; he had an urge!!!&#8221; </span><span style="color: #ff00ff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff00ff;">I almost had to kill myself by ingesting bleach.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff00ff;">I got him back on the river trip though. heeeheehehee</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff00ff;">You got anything better?</span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>FROM: SCUBA</strong></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #0000ff;">This happened,</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><br />
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Outside the Coventry Apts. Justin met our across the hall neighbors in his tighty whitees.  He then helped the girl carry groceries from her car up flight of stairs in his undees.  He then slipped on the very top concrete stair and all of the groceries went flying out of the sack.  He was bleeding and scrounging for groceries in front of our new girl neighbor in his undees.  Her boyfriend then shows up as this is going on.</span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Orrrr&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.Maybe I should switch gears and tell about the time Scuba pooed his pants. I was such a nice friend and told him I would do his laundry for him. I almost died when I saw the skid lake underwear in the laundry basket.</span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #993366;"><strong>FROM: LA</strong></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #993366;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #993366;">How about the time Moops puked on my couch then had to be taken to bed? Fast forward three hours and he comes storming down the stairs yelling at me me. Upon his return back up the stairs he proceeds to trip and stumble back down to the bottom. To top it off, he jumps up, glares and points his finger at me and says, &#8220;Yoooooooouuuuuuu&#8221;!</span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>RE: TMI</strong></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>FROM: KT</strong></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #008000;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #008000;">I have a quick couple&#8230;</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #008000;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #008000;">How about the time Moops decided to tell us about his love for couches. He loves them so much that he use to have sex with them, sad but true. Moops use to masturbate by inserting his junk between couch cushions and go to town!</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #008000;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #008000;">Or how bout the time we went to we walked into an apt. party of people we didn&#8217;t even know and Moops drank too much and as usual stripped down to his tightee whitees and the people were so put off they asked us to leave. We do and Moops begins to laugh. Of course we ask &#8220;what are you laughing at?&#8221; He then pulls out the tube of toothpaste he was so proud to have stolen. His grand revenge for getting kicked out was stealing toothpaste&#8230;</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #008000;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #008000;">Then there is the time that Moops really impressed me. I had just moved in below him and had spoken with him a few times. My roommates were out so I went to go say hi. Moops opens the door and is unquestionably shit faced. We are watching T.V. and I&#8217;m telling him a story when he stops me and says &#8220;hold on.&#8221; He then leans over and pukes the smelliest blach puke onto his carpet, nearly getting it on his boy dog “Jager.” When done he looks at me and says &#8220;ok, go on.&#8221; Without blinking an eye! Bless his heart!</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #008000;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #008000;">And then of course there is the time that he asked my somewhat crazy ex-bff to trim his pubes. She then convinces him that he should be blind folded for the event. She did this so pictures could be taken without him knowing. Blindfolded, naked, and holding a beer, Moops let this crazy woman near his manhood with a pair of scissors in her hand! Don&#8217;t worry she didn&#8217;t hurt him, she just trimmed, but it did make for interesting pics&#8230;.</span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #ff00ff;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #ff00ff;">HAHAHA I forgot about some of these! Speaking of the puking (not that there aren&#8217;t already enough puking stories) I just remembered about the time that I woke up to find a pile of puke at the foot of my bed. That fool woke up in the middle of the night, stuck his head over the foot of the bed, and then straight up went back to sleep.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff00ff;">The funny thing about that night that he stole the toothpaste, is that I&#8217;m pretty sure that was the same night we may or may not have dipped someone&#8217;s toothbrush and razors into the toilet. Oops.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Oh. And my favorite&#8230; (which really needs it&#8217;s own post) The night he peed my bed, thank goodness I was on the futon that night (poor shae) That wasn&#8217;t really even the bad part. He took the down comforter home and promised to wash it. Three weeks later I go to his loft and that thing was was in his closet with all the other &#8220;clean&#8221; blankets&#8230; and sure nufff &#8230;it had never been washed.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff00ff;">And KT. When you get a chance, you must send me those pube cutting pics. I have no idea what happened to my copy. I know it was in my glove compartment for a while- though I have absolutely no idea as to why&#8230;</span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Wow, all of this makes me sound like a really great guy!  I&#8217;ll get abnoxiously drunk, puke, piss your bed, might fuck your couch and I might ask you to get some of those hard to reach pubes.  I want to hang out with me!!</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Scuba,  speaking of fucking things this one is for you&#8230;</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.14in; line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>I believe this story epitomizes TMI.  This came out of one of those story telling sessions where everyone was boozed up enough to share stories from their sexual past, the story didn’t necessarily have to involve another person, solo acts were admissible.  I&#8217;m on a plane and I don’t want the guy next to me to see what I&#8217;m writing so I have to make it quick.</strong></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.14in; line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>So it begins, Scuba, the horny young thing that he was went about the house looking for objects he could have intercourse with, nothing too disturbing or out of the ordinary yet, right?  On his quest for pleasure a furry young thing catches his eye, why of course, what better sexual companion than your favorite over stuffed teddy bear (it might have been a panda).  But hmmm, how to make this lustful encounter logistically possible?  Cut a hole in it!  With near surgical precision (I’m sure) Scuba proceeds to cut a hole ample enough to receive his penis.  Then,  he fucked the teddy bear.</strong></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.14in; line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>The funniest part is that his mom found the stuffing from the procedure; he told her that a kid down the street went into a rage and stabbed his bear.  So to this day if that neighbor kid is ever mentioned his mom says something to the effect of “ oh that so and so , he’s the one who stabbed your poor teddy.”</strong></span></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of my favorite things about the  cold weather is the increase in the number of movie nights that my roommates and I have.  More specifically, there is an increase in the number of  &#8220;scary  movies&#8221; that we watch. I&#8217;m a firm believer that you really cannot have good October without a few of these scary movie nights. Pop some popcorn, build a giant super pallet on your living room,  grab your snuggie, turn out all the lights and you&#8217;re all set.</p>
<p>Personally, I have a love/hate relationship with horror flicks. I really like to watch them. Really, I wouldn&#8217;t turn one down no matter how &#8220;B-rated&#8221; it may be. Zombie movies are my favorite, but I will watch ANYTHING. In fact, I got started on &#8220;horror movies&#8221; way earlier than the average pup. I&#8217;m not sure whether my mom just didn&#8217;t see anything wrong with showing them to me, or if she really didn&#8217;t think they would affect me- but I can honestly say I remember watching Poltergeist at 5 years old.</p>
<p>As much as I like them  and I appreciate that my mother didn&#8217;t censor them from me, I have a feeling that movies of the horror genre had a greater influence on me than anyone would have guessed. You might even say I have been scarred for life. So in light of it being &#8220;National Scary Movie Week&#8221; or at least &#8220;My House Scary Movie Week ,&#8221; I share with you the 5 movies that had the most profound affect on me <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">as a child.</span></p>

<p><strong>Arachnophobia</strong>: I recently re-watched this movie and I have come to the conclusion that I must have been thinking of a different movie. When I watched it way back when, it was definitely, in no way shape or form- a comedy. This movie absolutely terrified me. I remember making my sister come and sit in the bathroom with me while I showered because I was thoroughly convinced that a spider was going to come up the drain and instantly kill me with it&#8217;s poisonous venom. I was scared to eat popcorn because of the scene where a spider is in the bottom of the bowl.  And to this day, if I see a spider, no matter what breed- chances are you will see me pull a cartoon and run straight through the door.</p>

<p><strong>Child&#8217;s Play: </strong>I have to preface this with the fact that my parents were of the belief that I really liked playing with dolls. Every year they would drag me to the local doll show and buy weird creepy used dolls that I had to pretend to enjoy. Truth was, the only &#8220;dolls&#8221; I ever really loved was a Teddy Bear named Teddy, and my Teddy <a class="zem_slink" title="Teddy Ruxpin" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teddy_Ruxpin">Ruxpin</a>. <strong> </strong>Even before I saw this movie I was convinced that my dolls would come alive when no one was around. I blame this on my viewing of Jim Henson&#8217;s &#8220;A Christmas Toy&#8221; about a kajillion times. (If you haven&#8217;t seen this, it was basically an earlier, more primitive version of &#8220;The Toy Story.&#8221;) I was already very sensitive about my doll&#8217;s feelings, and didn&#8217;t want any of them to feel more important than the others. So after I caught a viewing of Child&#8217;s Play at the ripe old age of 7, I was more scared than ever to piss any of my dolls off. Every night before I snuggled up to Teddy, (the regular stuffed animal not Ruxpin because he was hard) I would walk around my room and kiss each and every doll goodnight and tell them that I loved them.</p>
<p>There was one doll in particular that frightened me the most. It was nearly life sized and had red unruly hair, very a la&#8217; Chucky. I grew convinced that this particular doll in a one piece swimsuit would be my demise. I paid it extra special attention, even though it really frightened the bejeezus out of me. I started noticing that it was never in the same place that I left it. I finally told my mother and she swore that she would get rid of it for good. She said she burned it. Years later, when I was a Junior in High School I came home to find that swimsuit doll on my day bead. You might say I went a little ballistic. I thought it had come back for the sequel. My family thought it was hilarious.</p>

<p><strong>Pet Cemetery: </strong>My dad grew up in the house where my grandparent&#8217;s still live. He had 3 other siblings, and came from a family that really loved animals. I loved my grandparent&#8217;s house because they had woods in their backyard where my cousins and I would frolic and build forts and such. I loved it all, except for one little area, just barely visible from the back room where I had to sleep. Their pet cemetery. Ah hells no. This shit even has gravestones and everything. I never really thought much about it until I saw the movie. Then I would think of practically any excuse not to have to stay over at their house (even though it was my favorite place on earth) and if I did have to stay the night I would ask to sleep with my sister. On the occasions where I had no choice but to sleep in the back room, I would stay up all night, one eye steadily focused  the white grave stone in the distance. I imagined seeing dogs and cats and raccoons rise from the graves to attack me. Those gravestones still scare me to this day.</p>

</div>
<p><strong>Jaws:</strong> My mom had an obsession with pretty much everything that could hurt me (vampires, zombies, spiders, boogie men) and sharks were no exception. Jaws was one of her favorite movies, and consequently one of the movies that I watched as a very young child. As if that movie didn&#8217;t scar me enough, every summer my family would make a six hour drive to the coast. My mother would spend the entire six hours reading true stories of shark attacks out loud. As a result, I spent the better half of every summer vacation scouting the ocean for sharks. While my cousins would all take their floats out as far as they could go, I would stay knee deep-eyes out.  I am finally to the point where I&#8217;m not afraid to go in the water, but you can bet I would be VERY aware of any dorsal-like fins that may appear in my near vicinity (3 square miles, to be exact.)</p>
<p><strong>The <a class="zem_slink" title="Return to Oz" rel="imdb" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089908/">Return to Oz</a>: </strong>I haven&#8217;t seen this in a very long time (because damnit it was scary) but I do remember it quite clearly. I think. Am I even thinking of the right movie? All of Dorothy&#8217;s old friends were stoned (in the turned to rock sense, not doing drugs&#8230;)</p>

<p>She meets up with a talking reindeer, a weird robot thingy called Tick-Tock, and a man with an empty pumpkin head. If that is not creepy, then I don&#8217;t know what is. I was mostly scared of the lady that changed her heads like they were wigs. Even Dorothy played by that scary girl from the Craft, and she is creepy enough by herself. I don&#8217;t have much else to say about this movie, but I know it terrified me.  The trailer is below, just in case you are curious.</p>
