It's Getting Hot in Here

It's 75 degrees outside, but it is much hotter in my office (exact temperature you may ask? I don't know) and I am this close to turning on my air conditioning. But there is a part of me that is thinking it's only May and only 75, there is no need for air conditioning.

You know that scene in "The 40 Year Old Virgin" where he is karaokeing to "Word Up" all by himself and he makes his voice go up and he points his toe out? That is running through my head. Then it makes me think of a skit fron Saturday Night Live a few years, around the time musicians were going before the Supreme Court to say that downloading music was wrong. In the skit, there were all the awful musicians going before the Supreme Court, like, Cameo, and every time he was asked a question, he would answer with, "Word Up," and he would say it like he sings it in the song.

Ok, so I recently discovered there is a healing institute in Perrysburg. People go there to learn how to do massages and they have community education for things like yoga, and what not. I was looking at their website ( haiohio.com) and on their list of services is a one hour massage at home.

Yes, I started thinking dirty.

But let me explain why.

A couple of months ago, I was watching a movie called Happy Endings (really good, much better than I expected) and in it there was a masseuse and he would give his women clients a little extra massage, if you know what I mean.

The a few weeks ago, some masseuse sued Kevin Costner for getting a little too relaxed during his massage. This event prompted a small article on like people.com or ew.com about the influx in crazy massage stories. And I think it was Teri Hatcher (the queen of TMI) who said that she recently had a Happy Endings type massage that she didn't know if she was being molested or if she should make another appointment.

Ok, it would be pretty ballsy for a masseuse to take these sorts of liberties with their clients. I mean, is there like an international symbol or code word? If I got a massage and said something like, "Use the papaya" would I get a special massage? And if you paid them an extra $30 would that just go all the way and massage you with a whole different part of their body?

Isn't it interesting how there is a whole different culture out there that you don't even know about.
