Ask DB1: The Pictorial 'Bag
---DB1-
A question for you...
In an age of spiritual, moral, and fashion uncertainty, one thing remains constant: digital cameras and their fascinating ability to allow you to see what the hell you look like in any and all given pictures mere seconds after they are taken.
With that in mind, would your expert opinion lead you to conclude that the 'bags race back and forth like orange lightning between the camera and pose in order to achieve maximum captured douchocity? That they have practiced the pose enough times in the mirror to have perfected it, or that their douchi is so centered that they simply radiate the exact amount needed in any and all photographs?
Thank you for your consideration on this perplexing topic.

As Baudrillard notes, the spectacle of the digital age has untethered identity by supplanting the real with simulacra.
Our notion of the self fractures into spectral masks of pixelated projection. This primal projection of the psyche predates our technological simulation, as Lacan notes. Seeing ourselves through the eyes of the "other" simply finds amplification in the Facebook/MySpace image race. Our swirling feedback loop of projections upon projections becomes a funhouse mirror of refracted and fractured identities, always rooted in notions of identity, but given room to overwhelm in the media age.
As such, these images become extensions of our corporeal touch. We rescramble spatiality to form kinetic sub-space where we reform as culturally coded and branded entertainment specters. This form of cultural currency as potent as anything Bourdieu described within the social spheres. A radical alterity of self through the prism of the Apple/PC proto-gender binary.

I like the vampira look. I dated a porcelain princess in college that was so pale I couldn't find the maps of Hawaii I'd make on her stomach. And back. And forehead. And ankle.
I had a lot more vitamin E in me back then.

*silent clapping*, that is physics for poets. I was a besmirched by the image. However, after much contemplation I realized that what you were describing with words was captured in image by a beloved artist and mathematician - M.C. Escher.
Keep up the education on the hyperbole that is MySpace and Douchebaggery.

As big George returns from his try-out at the leprechaun school, he's greeted with an obligatory "so sorry" kiss by his elfin girlfriend who was sad to learn that Georgie was too tall, too fat, and too goofy looking to make it as as a mythical sprite.
Taken at face value there are obvious winners and losers in this scene
- Winners -
- Fat choads with shitty ideas about hair choice , facial and cranium, actually being douche enough to score a minor hott
- People that stayed out of the home buying shenanigans of the last two years and stayed in that $275/mo. 1 bedroom apartment
- K Mart's elctronics section
- Denny's
- Losers -
- This gal's parents
- People that have to follow this guy in the apartment's laundry room
- Anyone that has to endure self-portraits of ugly mofo's , basically , us
- Cromagnons everywhere

I left that liberal , Kennedy felating communist state years ago. I go back to visit the family, eat clams and check out the Fens often.
No sir, it's sunny Southern California for me.
When I was about 14, I had just spent 1 1/2 hours shovelling snow in the driveway for the pop's glass truck after he woke me at 4:30 A.M. with , " HEY ! Go shovel the drive so I can go to work!" on a New Year's Day....
When finished peeling off layer and layer of winter garb, I sat down to watch the Rose Bowl parade/football game. I noticed the guys wearing t-shirts and shorts and the mirad of hot babes from the cheerleaders to the fans dressed for nice weather.
At that point my mind was made up. Goodbye Cape Cod, hello L.A.

Suck on it pal. You take your pristine LA weather and hot babes and year-round golf and ram it up your arse.
I'm not jealous or anything.

I am forced to repeat this question like a buddhist mantra -
if a hottie and a douchebag meet and there is no camera to record it, do they get aroused?
It is the "what is the sound of one hand clapping" of the modern era.

Eat more avocados. you'll thank me later.
And what's the fun of seeing your wake of destruction after the lovin'? It's funnier when she lies down, you throw your arm over her and your thumb goes right into a tepid, semi-congealed glob of your own spoo. Sweet, sweet revenge.

Do you think medusa was saying her thing-thing-thangy tastes like an avocado?
If that's the case I'm gonna have to get me some guacamole right quick.

Ew. Actually it tastes like sweet rosebuds that Grace Kelly sucked on. But enough of that. Actually, about the avocados--it's not some wives-tale BS,like eating oysters makes you rock hard all night long. Sock was correct in correlating vitamin E with, uh, output. Basically, vitamin E, which is in super-high concentrations in Avocados, is a lubricant (huh huh) for your veins. It makes the walls of the vessels more elastic and supple, allowing for greater expansion, which means a [slightly] bigger and firmer pistola. Not to mention that the vitamin complexes slick up the veins, allowing the blood to move faster, which shortens the recovery time between episodes. Also, with the better circulation in the area, you increase production and you can possibly blow bigger loads.
Now, this doesn't mean go out and buy a wheelbarrow full of avocadoes. It does you no good to eat one daily and then wash it down in cheap beer and sit on the couch smoking cigarettes and waiting to turn into Johnny Wadd. Really, a moderate diet, exercise, quitting smoking and drinking less will give drastic results if things aren't going well to begin with. If things are already decent, then adding foods high in E will help you out more, Salmon, raw nuts and olives/olive oil are good too. I've seen fat, impotent slobs go to raging jackhammers by getting in shape and eating well. But a good start is introducing some nice stuff like avocadoes.
Another benefit: The vitamins increase joint health and flexibility which means...Kama Sutra time, baby!
Dr. Oblongata will be happy to answer any other health related questions you may have.

You're either a sex therapist, a doctor, a sex fiend or all the above. God bless you.
Yes my avatar is Gary Gnu.
I will not give the full explanation as to why I have Gary as my avatar, but let's just say he sprung up as topic of conversation at 4am in a Hartley King's restaurant on the outskirts of Pittsburgh, PA and being in such an inebriated state it was just about the funniest out-of-the-blue reference ever made.
We love Gary, he's a fucking nut. And he used to bang all the female cast members on that horrific childrens' show.

Am I the only one that thinks the pictures that followed this shot were entirely pornographic in nature? I'm surprised that we don't see more douche porn.
I'm actually in competition with a friend of mine to find a statement or picture that will kill one of us*. I believe that douche porn may be that picture.
* It all started the day she said "Jar Jar Binks is a French Canadian" and my blood pressure went up so fast that I heard my ears pop - I almost had a stroke. Yes, we are strange people.

Love it. Still say that whenever I have another non-drama week.

She’s so pale, Charlie Weis mistook her for a jar of mayo...
... he ate her, then regurgitated her... then ate her again for four years straight while developing a highly uncoordinated football team.

She’s so pale she gets sunburned while standing in an igloo… covered in a lead blanket… in the middle of winter.
And aponst the third day, God createdst woman out of the chalk dust of the firmament; and He saw that it was pale, and He wast pleased. - Genesis 1:27 (King Douchious IV translation)
thanks Crucial
She's so pale she makes the Rose Queen look like a tar baby
... Roses in our future... Brah!

Fight on!

well most hotties who have made an appearance on HCwDB have probably willingly photographed their very own desecration at the hands of douchebags. but to really see a hottie holding the camera for this occasion brings society to new lows. new lows, i say.
Sleep? With this buzz, I might as well add:
Although Supreme Virgin Hærgüd Marshall implored each of his chin straps to hold down his helmet in the case of a surprise first kiss encounter with Änya; he grew exponentially disappointed as each follicle left his skull…
… knowing the throbbing gristle in his checkered pants had indeed, been checked-mate!

You only THINK she's pale because she is wearing pitch goth black which just makes her APPEAR pale.
It's all relative.
He has the orange arms, and the build, of a stevedore.
Nottadouche, nottaBleeth, and people have been doing the camera-thing even before Polaroids hit the scene. Not new.

You're either a [wannabe] sex therapist, a [wannabe] doctor, a sex fiend [absolute] or all the above [I wish]. God bless you [he sure did. On the other hand, it's a curse.].

That is (in spite of it's obvious setup) hands down, the sweetest photo I've seen on here. The doucherry is only mild, even if the facial hair sculpting isn't.
It actually brought a slightly sweet smile to face.
