Brotherly Love at First Bite

GiggleSugar — Wed, 26 Dec 2007 11:00:00 -0800

Charlie's got some growing pains and his big brother offers him a finger to nibble on. So what's a teething Charlie to do? He takes a supersonic chomp and leaves his brother howling in pain. He then takes a moment to reflect on his misconduct - and laugh. Charlie's more of the tough-love type.

Biting Humor

Who needs words when you have teeth and good aim? Nothing says "I love you" like a good bite of someone's [insert body part here]. These animals are relentless and most of them have a curious way of taking a chomp out of the most private parts-- the rear end, the crotch, the chest. Ouch!

Nail-Biting Kitty Needs to Chill

GiggleSugar — Tue, 20 May 2008 11:00:00 -0700

This self-grooming business is a little stressful for Winston here. Looking this immaculate takes a whole lot of primping and licking and - do you see that hair out of place? Oh hell no. He's gotta get the paws clean and pristine, he's just gotta. The pressure is overwhelming. So the nail biting helps ease the tension every now and again, no biggie. It's not a habit or anything . . .

Do, Dump, or Marry? Kellan Lutz

Thanks to his clear blue eyes, Twilight's Kellan Lutz definitely qualifies as dreamy, and on the big screen, he's straight up vampire eye candy – in my book at least.

The 24-year-old North Dakota native might not be the biggest heartthrob to appear in New Moon, but he surely has his own set of devoted fans. And for all you dog lovers, Kellan (who is officially single) has a soft spot for canines too; he adopted his dog Kola from a local animal shelter.

Do you want Kellan to bite you?

Buns and Chou Chou Rock On!

GiggleSugar — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 02:00:00 -0700

Our friends Buns and Chou Chou score an interview with former Clash guitarist Mick Jones and his Carbon/Silicon bandmate Tony James. The convo kicks off to an uneasy start cuz Buns is leery of his new rocker friends and the threat they pose to his fragile home furnishings. But after a while, talk of music gives way to discussion of - gulp! - creepy MySpace stalkers. They're the worst. And if they're not hot, Buns ain't having them! If they are hot, well . . . here's where they can find him. They might want to drop him a line, yeah?

COMBAT NAIL BITING

DearSugar — Tue, 01 Aug 2006 07:01:57 -0700

Dear Sugar
I've bitten my nails ever since I could chew, and now that I'm older, I really wish I could stop. It's time to kick this habit and let my nails finally grow, but I've tried over and over again and I always cave in and bite as soon any white appears.

I have even tried that nasty tasting nail polish that is supposed to prevent you from putting your hands in your mouth - but that doesn't work for me. I suck it up and bite my nails anyway. Please help me find a way to stop biting. Nubby Nadia

Dear Nubby Nadia
Like any psychological habit, it's going to take self control and discipline. Put mind over matter. If you are at the point where you can recognize that you've got a problem, then you are old enough to control your impulse.

Nail biting is a nervous habit that starts for one reason and then continues for another. It probably started at a time in your life when you really were nervous, and that was how you expended your nervous energy. But well after that anxiety went away the habit stayed. So now, any time you get nervous - you bite.

Nail biting is also an oral fixation. Here are some ways to keep occupied when you feel yourself getting ready for a nibble:

Response Prevention. If you are home, put on a pair of gloves. You aren't going to eat through a pair of gloves (well, I hope not).
Hypnosis. Nail biters often complain that they aren't even consciously aware they are biting. You can buy a hypnosis script here to help your unconscious mind combat the struggle as well.
Dr Phil says that, "You don't break habits. You replace one behavior with a new behavior." If biting your nails is helping you with your nerves, then try putting something in its place. Take a deep breath, get up and go for a walk or maybe even listen to music, or check your e-mail. Basically what you are trying to do is distract yourself.
Get regular manicures. If you are paying to have your nails done each week, then you are putting a monetary value on your hands. It may help you to think twice before ruining your manicure and throwing your money away.

The good news is that once you break the cycle, it can go away forever. Nail biting is just a habit, it's not an irreversible condition. But it's going to take a commitment and will power.

Two things I love in a man: a British accent, and the ability to stuff an entire Big Mac in his mouth and swallow it in one bite. (The ~~sad~~ awesome thing is, I could totally do this, too!)

Learn How to Get Hot Chicks: Don't Watch TV Ads

TresSugar — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 01:00:00 -0700

If men listened to television ads, they'd think that smaller was better (BK Burger Bites), that women love the smell of rancid cologne (Axe), and that you can cover up the fact that you haven't bathed or washed your sheets in ages (Febreze). Not only that, but they'd think that really hot chicks don't just put up with that stuff - they looove it! (And we wonder why men and women have trouble knowing what the other half wants.)

Is That a Bunny in Your Pants...

GiggleSugar — Sat, 15 Mar 2008 01:00:00 -0700

Or are you happy to see me? Television personality Michael Ian Black (from VH1's I Love The. . . series) tells our favorite bunnies about a past performance involving a bunny in some dude's pants. Buns and Chou Chou are, understandably, a bit miffed, and the interview kinda goes downhill from there. Those crazy comedians!

Talk to the Buns!

GiggleSugar — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 14:00:00 -0800

First they brought us short films with rabbits. Then they brought us celebrities. Now Buns and Chou Chou are talking to the most-subscribed dudes on YouTube, these silly boys who call themselves Smosh. Not only do they make me feel old, they prompt an interesting question: What's the female equivalent of that noxious saying "Bros before hoes?" Chicks before d*cks?
