    Good Morning all!

    This morning Denny's is offering a "Grand Slam" breakfast on the house between the hours of 6:00 AM and 2:00 PM!  To find a location near you, click this link!  As soon as I finish up some work here, I'm gonna take advantage of this awesome offer!

    Thanks to Mystic Won for tipping me off to this!


    Speaking of "Grand Slams", I recently saw an interesting article in Japan Times that described a study that found Japanese teens who skip breakfast as middle school students tend to have start having sexual relations at an earlier age in contrast to those who start the day off with a proper meal.  The research was performed by the Japanese Family Planning Association and funded by the Japanese government.  1500 people were included in the sample and participates included both Japanese men and women from ages 16 to 49.

    The average age for the first time sex for daily breakfast eaters at the time of middle school was 19.4, while the average age for breakfast skippers was 17.5.

    Executive Director Kunio Kitamura believes the key lies in the family life of young people.  ""The fact that people can't eat breakfast may show something about their family environment," said Kitamura. "Before blaming individuals for having sex at an early age, it may be necessary to look into the sort of homes they are from." 

    Another interesting result of the research indicated that teens who were not fond of their Mother tended to have sex at an earlier age.  Those who found their Mother annoying started having sex at the average age of 16 versus 19 for those who appreciated her more. 


    Just too see how far I can take this entry, I looked up "Grand Slam" on Urban Dictionary to see if it had any special meanings on the street and sure enough it did!  According to this trusty and endlessly fascinating resource, a Grand Slam can relate to a "4-way":

    Okay for this you need 4 gentlemen and a chick. A party may be a good place for this. The first three gentlemen need to make out with the chick. They each get to "first base." The bases are loaded as the "runners" advance. Finally the fourth gentleman approaches the chick and proceeds to have sexual intercourse with her. Once he "gets all around the bases" by this act he has "hit a grand slam home run." Or simply a "grand slam." The remaining gentlemen burst into the room and many hi-fives are exchanged while they all yell, "Grand Slam."

    Eek!
