And if that is not amusing enough: why I love close captions

why the captions for actions? is that a real thing or just a confused transcriber?

The description of the sound of the action or the coordination of sound and action.

Think about how audible effects/cues are often humorous, purposefully or not, for example.

Also, in my experience, CC is not always synced up. I like it when you can see signs of a human in action, like with the modifiers or speed of type, although I can't think of the last time I saw live tv captioning. Now I only ever use it when I can't make out what someone said. I'd like that job, also being a reader. Sometimes describing a movie or show to someone is way more entertaining than the thing itself. I know I've made things seem far more interesting than their native state. I knew this guy who used creative stress and intonations while reading generic newspaper articles and I've used that bit to a wide range of effect.

So much of communication is translation. Also, heraldry.

Look a la Maison de Firas it barely counts as sex equipment unless it's suspended from the ceiling. This is more like a reclining chair for afternoon tea. A very ob-gyn-ish looking reclining chair.

That Buzzfeed link makes me Sob Mathematically.

And the sex chair reminds me of an observation I made about pr0n: Some sexual positions are better for the man, some are better for the woman, but Reverse Cowgirl is better for the camera operator...

Buzzfeed links usually make me sad/disappointed but there's the occasional gem in between the Pandering to You, Special Stupid Child! lists and quizzes.

I'm not quite sure what's up with the bottom part or how much people have changed proportionately, but the idea of sex aids are aiding the sex. Some hotels have toys, maybe now some come with sex pillows, sybians and assorted paraphernalia, or maybe that's just dungeon territory.
