A few years back, when I was single in Colorado I had decided to check out some online dating sites. I found that it turned out to be more of a sociological observation session than a real dating forum. All I can say is it is amazing how many guys will send you unsolicited pictures of their penises. Now, I am not easily offended and this occurrence actually became rather humorous to me. I am sure many of these guys simply do this to get themselves off, but I also get the sense that some of these guys think they can actually woo a woman this way. I have asked many female friends to see if they feel the same way as me, and yes, they agree: this is not a way to attract a female. I get the concept that men are more visual and can see how they might think that this would be a turn on...but honestly, this is hysterical! After the first three, I was joking around about starting a cock collection and that I was going to create a coffee table book of unsolicited phalluses. This ended up transpiring into collecting cocks of the avian nature. So, this is one I bought Greg at the World's Largest Truck Stop…..which happens to be in Iowa folks.
Here's a drink I created mixing Fighting Cock Kentucky 103 proof bourbon whiskey and Red Bull. "It's a cocktail with a little whang to it!" (tm) Quite delicious, if you're a 7&7 kind of person.
Cocker Spaniels are dogs belonging to two breeds of the spaniel dog type: the American Cocker Spaniel and the English Cocker Spaniel, both of which are commonly called simply Cocker Spaniel in their countries of origin. In the early 20th century, Cocker Spaniels also included small hunting spaniels.

Hahn/Cock is a sculpture of a giant blue cockerel by the German artist Katharina Fritsch. It was unveiled in London's Trafalgar Square on 25 July 2013 and is displayed on the vacant fourth plinth. The fibreglass work stands 4.72 metres (15.5 ft) high and is the sixth work to be displayed on the plinth, on which it will stay for 18 months.
Hahn/Cock, the latest work to fill the square's empty fourth plinth, is by Katharina Fritsch, the German artist (or "sculpture … er, sculptor … er, sculptress", as the city's mayor, Boris Johnson, described her).
Gleefully feminist, the work pokes amiable fun at the vainglorious statues of men (Nelson, George IV, and generals Havelock and Napier) that surround it in this most imperial of British public spaces. "Humour is always a big thing for me," said Fritsch. "It stops things from becoming too severe. I like English humour. It is so often very dark."
The sculpture was unveiled by Johnson, who, despite his claim that "my critical faculties are exhausted by this wonderful sculpture" had plenty to say, not least a thinly veiled jibe at David Cameron's recent efforts to crack down on online pornography. "If you were to Google the sculpture in a few years' time," he said, "search engines would collapse at the behest of the prime minister. Er, quite properly of course." He warmed to the theme later. "You would be forbidden by prime ministerial edict from looking at it," he told journalists. After a meaningful pause, he added: "Quite right too."
Noting the fact that the cockerel is the national emblem of France (a connection registered by Fritsch, she said, only once she had proposed the idea), he added: "I hope French people will not take it as excessive British chauvinism – but for me it stands for the recent British triumph in the Tour de France, which we have won twice in a row … it is a symbol of French sporting pride, brought like a chicken to London. We have mounted this French cock at the heart of our imperial square."
Asked to expand on this particular piece of art criticism by representatives of the French press, Johnson replied: "C'est un jeu d'esprit, c'est une blague" ("It's a witticism, a joke"), but added that he was proud to be the mayor of the sixth-largest French city (home, as it is, to 250,000 French nationals, he said).
Did he feel his manhood crushed by the gentle feminist provocation against male modes of power? "No not at all," he said. "I am happy to channel the power and enthusiasm of that bird; I feel inspired by its regal manner and mood of confidence."
One could almost hear him straining to avoid using the word "cock" (hahn is German for cockerel, and it carries a similar double meaning in Germany). In the last moments before the great black cloths covering the sculpture were loosened, the major invited the crowd to welcome "the big, blue [here came a Pinteresque pause]… bird".
Fritsch said she was intrigued by the prospect of "lively and controversial" reaction from the public. "Art is not made for a few people – it is not an elitist thing." The 57-year-old added that she was delighted by the challenge of a sculpture of hers being positioned so prominently, and the energy that would bring with it.
She said she hoped the work had "many meanings; you can play around with it. It's humorous and also serious". She noted its context not just among "male persons standing on pedestals" – but amid the present-day cocks of the walk. "London is a business centre; there are streets round here like Jermyn Street specialising in men's suits. There's a real male culture around the place."
Fritsch added: "It is a feminist sculpture, since it is I who am doing something active here – I, a woman, am depicting something male. Historically it has always been the other way around. Now we are changing the roles. And a lot of men are enjoying that."
The fourth plinth, as it is known, is in the square's north-west corner. Built in 1841, it was designed to hold an equestrian statue – like its twin, in the northeast corner, that depicts George IV. But funds ran out and it remained empty. In 1998 the first in a series of temporary sculptures for the plinth was commissioned. Works by Rachel Whiteread, Yinka Shonibare, Mark Wallinger and Antony Gormley are among those to have occupied the space since.
Hahn/Cock, which was selected by the Fourth Plinth Commissioning Group (a body that includes artists Grayson Perry and Jeremy Deller), will occupy Trafalgar Square for 18 months.
