Some people just need to learn how to accept “no” as an answer. Especially when it comes to dating and interest. For example, I say “I HAVE a man, and no I DON’T cheat, and no I don’t DISRESPECT him, so therefore no, I will not go on a date with you”. And the man continues, every 10 minutes or so, to try again. Like seriously? Did you think (more…)

Ruby Rant 101: On Lying
OK, so while you have all had the joy of reading Wino Post 101, you have yet to read a true, concise version of my “I hate the world” commentary. You see, with a stomach condition (diagnosis coming soon) you can’t always turn everything into a Wino Post as unfortunately you’re limited as to the amount of liquor you’re allowed to drink. And that’s when a Ruby Rant is born (more…)

The Myth of the Platonic Friend
Normally on Fridays I like to keep things light, but I figure I’ve kept things light for long enough, time to give y’all a healthy dose of my ranting! (it’s been a while, hasn’t it?). Today we’re talking about friends. You see, on TV, in magazines, in bar conversation, friendships happen to be a hot topic right now, especially when it comes to the topic of platonic opposite sex friendships. While my experience should dictate otherwise, I am all for platonic friendships, although I am beginning to wonder what exactly it is that allows these friendships to flourish and remain tight. And what allows these friendships to remain platonic, not only in the physical sense, but in the emotional and psychological sense as well (more…)

Hump Day Giggles
Wednesday IS hump day right? Well, no matter, here on Classic Ruby, it’s hump day!! And to help get us all through the awkwardness of Wednesday (nothing to do, sick of working, but too far away from the weekend to feel justified in partying today…not in the mood to go to work tomorrow, but can’t afford not to go to work on Friday as well because you just don’t HAVE 2 free vacation/sick days left, and lord knows after the holidays you can’t afford the missed wages…:-s) I’ve got a couple videos here sure to give you a little bit of a giggle! Grab some ice cream, or a nice cold beer, snuggle up in your nice warm flannel PJ’s, and enjoy! (OK, Alicious, since you live in the tropics, you can wear your itty bitty teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini and sip on some wine as you snuggle up in your pool! LOL).
For our first show today, we take you to an important topic. Hand-jobs! (more…)

Windows 7, iMac or Just Say Screw Computers???
Anyone who knows me knows that I have experienced an incredibly large amount of computer trouble since having to switch back to my home pc (since one of my stupid wonderful friends decided to throw my laptop on the floor and break it!)(OK, so she didn’t THROW it, in all fairness (more…)

Weird and Wild Facts About Alcohol
Some wacky facts (and a hilarious video about why you should know your limit and why you should never send the drunkest guy at the party out on the beer run!) about alcohol to help kick off your weekend 😉 :
1. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (BAFT) bans the word “refreshing” to describe any alcohol beverage.
2. A person can be sent to jail for five years for merely sending a bottle of beer, wine or spirits as a gift to a friend in Kentucky
3. Anyone under the age of 21 who takes out household trash containing even a single empty alcohol beverage container can be charged with illegal possession of alcohol in Missouri. (more…)

Hot Roxxxy: Robotic Girlfriend a.k.a. Sex Doll
Yes, it’s true. The Blow-Up Doll has just been brought into the 21st century. No, it’s not just that they have made a more “life-like” expression on it’s face, more human-like skin, or real human hair you can brain or flat iron! No, no, no, don’t be ridiculous folks. What they’ve done is ALL THOSE THINGS only they’ve SO taken things too far. This is no longer just a blow-up doll, it’s a “virtual girlfriend” that you can program to be whatever you want her to be (Robot Boyfriend apparently coming soon). You have GOT to see this video!

Want a Worm in Your Brain? Eat Undercooked Pork
Just a side note before this begins. I am tired of all of the nonsense I have heard about how Pork is some terrible thing for you to eat because pigs are _________________ (insert some fallacious reasoning here). Quite frankly, every animal is equally disgusting for us to eat if you think about it. They’re animals, not people. So they’re not going to have the clean living/eating practices that we do. If you shun eating pork for some religious reason, more power to you. I have all the respect in the world for people who can uphold spiritual rules and behaviours they believe in, because it takes a lot of faith and dedication. If you don’t eat pork because you don’t eat animals in general for some moral reason, although I don’t get you because I am a self-proclaimed meatatarian (if you have no idea what that is, check out the commercial below) (more…)

People of WalMart
So to entertain my friend, I decided to (finally) check out this site. After my first couple glances at it, I wasn’t particularly impressed, which is funny because the general concept is exactly the same as YKYDAW only all of these gems are actually taken from within the walls of a Wal Mart store (or occasionally from the parking lot). While I have a very hard time believing that each and every picture was taken at a Wal-Mart (I mean, seriously, how would they honestly prove that EVERY SINGLE LAST PHOTO was taken at a Wal-Mart somewhere in the world?) I decided to approach this site with an open mind, and any assumptions I was going to make would be in favour (more…)

Where are the Salty Crackers?
Yes. I am being serious, and very literal. I remember as a child getting crackers, and the baked, crispy bread goodness combined with the oversalty goodness of chips had me in heaven. Experiencing alot of as of yet undiagnosed stomach issues, I spend quite a lot of my time eating crackers lately. And I want to know what happened to the salt? I mean sure, if you lick your lips after eating about 5 of them you get a little salt kick back. But whatever happened to the crackers that had each bite covered in some salty delight? (more…)
