Here’s some hints on how to tell from Men’s Health:

• She Suggests Thai for Dinner: Beware the “I-don’t-know, what-do-you-want-to-do?” camp of passive babes. A woman who knows and says what she wants, even when answering a mundane question, is more likely to be assertive in bed. Good lovers take responsibility for their pleasure. They remove a lot of the guesswork.
• She Eats It Up: Take note of how she handles her food. Watch how she uses her fork. Does she enjoy things? Is she sensuous? Is she poky and grabby? If someone eats slowly, it’s likely that they like to make love for a long time.
• She Screams . . . for Coffee Ice Cream: You may find the perfect lover by comparing tastes in ice cream. Alan Hirsch, M.D., a neurologist and director of the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago conducted a study of 720 people, ages 24 to 59, in which he correlated personality tests, their favorite ice-cream flavors, their partners’ favorite ice creams, and relationship status. Coffee-ice-cream lovers — found to be dramatic, seductive, flirtatious — are most romantically compatible with strawberry fans. Vanilla gals (emotionally expressive and fond of PDA) melt best with rocky-road guys. And mint-chocolate-chip fans are meant for each other.
• She Talks Like You: There’s a scene in Broadcast News in which William Hurt tells Holly Hunter that listening to her talk in his earpiece while he was on the air was “like great sex!” See if you get a similar buzz from your potential bedmate. The first thing to look for is mirroring of verbal behavior and pace. That is, if her pace and her nonverbal behavior match yours, her sexual behavior, which is also nonverbal, will also likely match. If one person seems really slow moving and the other person seems fidgety, they’re going to have different sexual paces.
• She Knows Who Sid Vicious Is: Young women often aren’t relaxed enough to have an orgasm. Older women know what they like and will tell you. They realize that if they have frequent orgasms, it’s better for the man in the long run. At menopause, levels of estrogen recede, unmasking the power of testosterone. This allows women to be more assertive and demanding, and many of them become more interested in sex.
• She Gives Good Lip: The way you kiss says a lot about how you make love. It’s not just using the lips; it’s using the entire body. If she uses her hands on you and presses her breasts into you and moans and groans, she’s going to be a great lover. The best female lovers also create sexual anticipation. They start with baby kisses, and then maybe lick your top lip and suck your bottom lip, and as they’re doing that, they play with your hair, or put your hands on them. It’s sort of like a dance.
• She’s a Good Dancer: There is a certain amount of dance to copulation. And dancing is energetic, which suggests someone who’s in good shape.

I’m was kind of perturbed to find out recently that, for the last few months, and mail sent to me (and anyone else) through the “contact us” page on the X92.9 website has not arrived. It’s disappeared into the ether of cyberspace. If you sent mail, you likely never found out it never arrived. If you sent mail to me, you probably think I’m a big jerk for not replying to you. I try and respond to all my e-mail. The problem is still not fixed, so meantime, here are some ways to get in touch. you can e-mail me directly: josh@x929.ca

Or call me when I’m on air 2-7 weeday afternoons at (403!) 238-X929.

K-OS was in town for a show at Flames Central and stopped by the Rock Report before the show for a chat. Here’s how it went:

More words from Urban Dictionary:

• Austined: When you get a vehicle stuck in such a way that you cannot back or drive it out. A reference to the movie Austin Powers where he wedges a factory cart between two walls trying to turn it around

• Intermet: A way to say that you met on the Internet.
• Shwink: To sneak up on someone or startle them.

I was doing a remote broadcast from Adult Source over the weekend, and saw this giant latex fist and had to buy it. They were nice and gave me a good price. I think we’ll keep it around the studio and see what types of fun will happen. It’s solid latex and weighs quite a bit.

Cheryl from the Calgary Humane Society popped in again today. This time, she brought in a high-enrgy fellow named Spud. He’s got a little bit of pit in him. Also has a longer snout and legs, so maybe some shepard? He’s just five months old so still full of energy. He (and many other pets of all shapes and sizes) is adoptable through the Humane Society. He was pretty quick and Newsboy did his best to catch him on film:

And don’t forget, the “Dog or Cat Person” poll is still up over there —>

This is the second telemarketing call I’ve received in the past few weeks, and the second call from the Calgary Herald’s phone centre since I came on air.

Herald Weed

It had been awhile since I’d received a telemarketers call on the show, and then we got this one. Basically I answered the phone and a computer recording told me I’d won a cruise, and if I wanted to claim it, press 9. I did, and this is what I got:

EVERYDAY URGES YOU SHOULD SUPPRESS (Men’s Health)

• Buying all the equipment after two lessons: Holster that credit card until you’re certain the novelty of fly-fishing, snowboarding, or competitive bird-watching won’t wear off.
• Being overpolite: Social pleasantries should be dispensed with grace. Saying “bless you” after each of nine successive sneezes makes you an automaton, not a gentleman.
• Writing a love poem in the first 3 weeks of dating… and not keeping it to yourself: Her hair might indeed remind you of the first new morning rays of sun. But those rays may fade, and there’s no reason to leave a paper trail.
• Finding exact change: Picking through your pocket lint for 11 cents isn’t helping the barista churn through the morning rush any faster. Do everyone a favor and stockpile your coinage at home. Trade it for cash once a year, then treat your girl to a dinner you otherwise couldn’t afford.
• Marking an e-mail “high priority”: Just because Bill Gates dreamed up a button doesn’t mean you should press it. Pick up the phone.
• Yelling out a song request: Sorry, but the lead singer is only paying attention to the braless blonde in the front row. Channel all that energy into clapping, Casey Kasem.
• Talking between bathroom stalls: No matter is so pressing that it needs to be discussed with your pants down.
• Screaming at the customer-service rep: Actually, check that: Go ahead and scream. Just make sure there’s a method to your madness. You’re mad at the company, and you’re this close to taking your business elsewhere.
• Overpronouncing foreign words: Granted, you spent a magical week in Baja, but that doesn’t give you license to pronounce “ Guadalajara” like you’re clearing hair from your throat. There’s a middle ground between butchering a word and being the pompous protector of its linguistic sanctity. Find it. (We’re talking to you, Giada De Laurentiis.)
• Sending an angry e-mail: Along with drunk-dialing your ex and drinking appletinis, this one fits in the category of things you will always, without fail, regret. Here’s a rule of thumb: The more bridges you’ll burn, the longer you should let that e-mail smolder in your drafts folder.
• Performing the chest bump: Sporting celebration should be proportional to the peril faced in the pursuit of victory. If your game involves an underhand toss, midgame brews, or Velcro-backed flags, dial it down, champ.
• Oversanitizing: Washing your hands carefully after going to the bathroom: normal. Reaching for the bottle of Purell each time you exit a taxi: compulsive.
• Obsessing over your fantasy team: If you’re really that into a sport, play coach in a way that actually matters: Teach a kid to love the nuances of the game as much as you do.
