SPERM: The Gift That Keeps On Giving...

I found this on msnbc.com. Go ahead and read through it. I think this guy is really getting screwed...without the benefits.

Court dismisses man's theft claim against lover who kept semen

CHICAGO - An appeals court said a man can press a claim for emotional distress after learning a former lover had used his sperm to have a baby. But he can’t claim theft, the ruling said, because the sperm were hers to keep.
advertisementThe ruling Wednesday by the Illinois Appellate Court sends Dr. Richard O. Phillips’ distress case back to trial court.
Phillips accuses Dr. Sharon Irons of a “calculated, profound personal betrayal” after their affair six years ago, saying she secretly kept semen after they had oral sex, then used it to get pregnant.
He said he didn’t find out about the child for nearly two years, when Irons filed a paternity lawsuit. DNA tests confirmed Phillips was the father, the court papers state.
Phillips was ordered to pay about $800 a month in child support, said Irons’ attorney, Enrico Mirabelli.
'Trapped in a nightmare'Phillips sued Irons, claiming he has had trouble sleeping and eating and has been haunted by “feelings of being trapped in a nightmare,” court papers state.
Irons responded that her alleged actions weren’t “truly extreme and outrageous” and that Phillips’ pain wasn’t bad enough to merit a lawsuit. The circuit court agreed and dismissed Phillips’ lawsuit in 2003.
But the higher court ruled that, if Phillips’ story is true, Irons “deceitfully engaged in sexual acts, which no reasonable person would expect could result in pregnancy, to use plaintiff’s sperm in an unorthodox, unanticipated manner yielding extreme consequences.”
The judges backed the lower court decision to dismiss the fraud and theft claims, agreeing with Irons that she didn’t steal the sperm.
“She asserts that when plaintiff 'delivered' his sperm, it was a gift — an absolute and irrevocable transfer of title to property from a donor to a donee,” the decision said. “There was no agreement that the original deposit would be returned upon request.”
Phillips is representing himself in the case. He could not be reached for comment Thursday.
“There’s a 5-year-old child here,” Mirabelli said. “Imagine how a child feels when your father says he feels emotionally damaged by your birth.”

Hummmmm

Well I have had quite an exciting week lately. We had a date party last weekend with a baseball theme. Due to the University of Oklahoma and their new drinking rules, we had to move the pre party off campus. Angela and I went to O'Connells for our pre party. It was fun. Drinking beer, hanging out, the usual. Then we headed over to the house and got on the bus. Angela wasn't feeling too good, (suprisingly I don't think it was the alcohol either) so we just sat down for the first half of the date party. That was pretty boring, but we had a good time one she started feeling better! :) We decided to go with a cheap costume. My old baseball uniforms are to big for her, and we wanted matching jersey's so we decided to make some. We took white undershirts and used a fabric marker to write our team names. We were 'Team Barbour'. The back of my shirt said 'Barbour 1873'. The back of her shirt said 'Future Barbour, 1873 1\2. House joke!!! We had a good time though!

I did get some sad sad news this week. Angelas roommate, Tyler, (and yes, it is a girl) is unhappy with OU. She is in college to get a Mrs. Degree and become a wedding planner. Her current major is PR, and she is only 2 major classes away from completing her degree...Plus twenty something hours of gen ed BS classes. Anyhow, all she really wants to do is become a wedding planner, and she cant do that while at OU. So it seems that Tyler will be leaving us and heading down the road to cowtown...A.K.A. Stillwater, OK. I have already threatened her with her life not to become an Aggie. However, I do wish her the best of luck. And I'm sure she will be in Norman on the occasional weekend to partake in an evening of drunken debauchery at O'Connells. Not to mention the fact that she is planning my wedding!!! We'll miss ya Tyler...

It is a Beautiful day in Oklahoma...to bad I'm stuck at work.

Need a Girlfriend

So I was sitting in my room a little while ago, and a good friend, well call him Jaron for short, stopped by. We were chatting about this and that when he mentioned a new website that he heard about from a friend. If nothing else it is good for a few laughs. The web site is entitled 'Imaginary Girlfriends'. As you can imagine by the name of the site, it is a place where hopeless, pathetic, loser guys can get themselves an 'imaginary girlfriend'. Quite an interesting concept. You can browse the website and pick the girl that you want to call 'your girlfriend'. I must admit there are some very nice pictures of young ladies on the website, but it gets much better than this. Once you sign up for your girlfriend of choice she will send a hand written letter every week with new photos, emails, phone messages, online chatting and even a personal gift. Wonder what that could be:)...Here is a bio from Kristin of San Diego.

As your imaginary girlfriend, I will send you a hot and steamy letter every week on my stationary, scented with my perfume. The first letter will include a pair of my lace panties that you can proudly show your friends. Also you'll receive an e-mail every few days from me letting you know about things going on in my life (and expressing my love/lust for you too!) Online chats on AIM can be arranged if needed, and I'm also willing to leave one or two phone messages for you on your answering machine. No phone conversations included.
I can be naughty or nice, the girl next door or your fantasy woman... What kind of girlfriend do you want? ;-)

Or perhaps you may prefer Lauren from Dallas...
Hello! I'm Lauren!! I can provide just about any imaginary girlfriend service needed. We can meet once or twice for an hour long online chat that can be arranged at a time for you. I WILL write back to your emails (as your girlfriend) and if you wanted I will leave a voicemail message for you too. I will send you one letter each week and will enclose at least one photo with every letter. I love to write and can't wait to share my hopes and dreams with you in writing.
A week before our time is up, you can break up with me and I'll spend the next seven days begging you to take me back. Please choose me as your imaginary girlfriend!

Wow what else can I say. What has this world come to.

Well, for anyone that is out there looking for a 'long distance relationship' that you can brag to your buddies about, this may be your answer. The only catch is that you have to pay for this service. The price for an imaginary relationship with Kristin is $40 for a two month relationship and $45 for Lauren. The best part about this website is that the pictures and the person you actually get email from are quite possibly different people! The site pays coeds for their pictures, and then pays writers to then 'carry on' the relationship. hummmm. oh, and not to get your hopes down, but both Kristin and Lauren and many others on the site have to many boyfriends, so you may have to wait for you perfect girl even for an imaginary relationship on the internet....

Funny joke:So there's this bar and this bar has a horse in it. A bunch of drunk guys decide to play the game. You put 20 bucks in a pool and you get one shot at making the horse laugh hysterically and then within a few seconds you have to make it cry. At first a lot of drunk people try this, because its stupid and drunk people do stupid things, so after a few days theres a lot of money in this pot. And then people start paying 20 bucks just because theres a chance they can win a few thousand dollars by waggering 20. It's what we humans do, lottery style yo. So after a couple weeks of this the pot is at over a million dollars. Everyone in town has heard about this thing. This one guy comes into the bar and throws down his twenty. He walks up to the horse and whispers in its ear. The horse starts laughing hysterically. The guy takes a few steps back. Someone says, "it's easy to make the damn thing laugh but making it cry right away is the hard part." The guy responds by dropping his pants. The horse starts to cry. Everyone is like holy shit. "How'd you do that???" "It's simple," says the guy, "I told him my dick was bigger than his. He laughed. I showed it to him and he cried."

Congratulations Josh! Local Celebrity? Enough Said...

They're Back

So my parents have been married for 25 years now! Isn't that awesome? They went on a Caribbean cruise to celebrate. They have been on nearly a dozen cruises, so they decided to make this one extra special. They boarded in Miami, and did a 7 night Western Caribbean, and then when the ship docked at the end of the trip, they stayed on board to do a 7 night Eastern Caribbean. 14 nights total. On top of this, they opted to get a balcony room. They had a great trip...well deserved too.

I had a test last week in Exercise Physiology. It's a pretty fun class. I was upset at myself for missing a few questions that I shouldn't have, but still managed to get a 93! I also found out this morning that my 93 was the second highest grade in the class! GO ME! Well, I'm going to listen to the bedlam game. GO SOONERS!

:)

What a beautiful day we are having. I have had a pretty darn good week myself. I haven't felt great though. I woke up Sunday not feeling so well, and I really haven't gotten any better, but that's something to worry about another day.

My presentation last night went really well. My part of the presentation was the female anatomy. My other group members discussed female sexual dysfunctions and the G-Spot! How fun!! I thought it would be difficult to get in front of a class of thirty students and talk about the perineum, areola, labia minora, vagina and clitoris to name a few. Suprisingly it wasn't that bad. Before we officially began the presentation we divided the class up into groups of 4-5 people and had them make models of a 'vulva' (or the collective term for the external female genetalia). Suprisingly there were some really good playdough vulva's! One group, Angelas, even put pubic hair on it!! Not real pubic hair Joey...At least I hope no one had red playdough like pubs! What a fun class. Angelas group was presenting male sexuality, and they incorporated a BINGO game into their presentation. Instead of yelling BINGO the winners had to yell PENIS! The 'PENIS' winners were awarded flavored condoms and penis suckers. What a fun college class...

I had my first test yesterday as well. It was in Exercise Physiology. I'm mad at myself because I made a stupid mistake and only got a 90. I put the correct answer on the test, however when I transcribed my answers to the scan tron, I put the wrong one down...I should have a 93. Arrrggggg. Still, I'm sure I did better than most of the class. Suckers!

Well, Rush starts tonight. I hope it goes well. With so much 'anti Greek' from last semester, I am a bit nervous. Either way, I feel really good about graduating in May and knowing that the house is in good hands and thriving. I definitely feel like I have "transmitted the house to those that may follow, not only not less, but greater than it was transmitted to me." (Phikeia oath)
