The “Duke of Marlborough Effect” was mentioned by Richard Dawkins to refer to the increase in masculine libido that results from experiencing a victory, whether directly or vicariously. This was so-named from an entry in the Duchess of Marlborough’s diary, “His Grace returned from the wars today and pleasured me twice in his top-boots.” Male athletes tend to experience elevated testosterone levels before a contest; those who win tend to maintain afterwards those elevated testosterone levels, but the testosterone levels of losers drops dramatically afterwards.
There will likely be a lot of canoodling in Old Boston now that the Red Sox have won the Series due to the Duke of Marlborough effect and the subsequent release of proper Bostonian inhibitions.

Mar-La
-noun
1. The name of a girl who is beautiful, strong, and intelligent. One who is easy to fall in love with but impossible to let go. She has the voice of an angel and a magical touch.
Marla can repair her own truck, tune a guitar and cook a 5 star meal while nursing a day old puppy. She's glamorous in jet black eyeliner and leather, but prefers t-shirts and jeans and messy pony tails. She is funny, exciting, and enthusiastic.
Marla has an amazing personality that appeals to every person fortunate enough to know her. Her eyes are captivating, her smile, intoxicating, and her heart lights the darkest, coldest souls and fills them with happiness. She is the reason why I believe in love.
2. Another word for perfection.
3. God's most precious and wonderful angel.
If there's one thing for certain in this world of confusion, it's that Marla is everything to me..

Get the Marlene mug.Anybody who writes off Bob Marley's music as the "rantings of a stoner", is either so closed-minded they will make judgments about things they know nothing about, or is simply stupid. Either way that person is fool #1.
