No Halloween Costume Yet?
There's always the good old standby costume for guys and dolls: Halloween Drag 101
All it takes is some heavy makeup and some old dresses from your mom's closet and if you ladies go undercover just put on a suit and tie and some ugly shoes and color yourself a fake moustache.
Hypocrits--
"But while the University sought advice on the proposal, universities such as Georgia State, Georgia Tech and Georgia Southern already have “sexual orientation” in their policies.
“The political profile of the University is much higher than other schools in the state,” he said.
Patrick Miller, the director of information for Lambda Alliance, said he thinks the regents are waiting for a more gay-friendly political environment before making a recommendation on the proposal."
Banana Candy--
Today's Banana Candy is the original male supermodel Marcus Schenkenberg. He was most recently seen on the previous version of "The Surreal Life" on VH1. After watching how nice he was and how sensitive he was in that show, he can come over and chop down my banana tree anytime!
Moderate? Or Not?
Alito ruled for conservatives in one case, for effeminate student in 2nd
Maybe he's not as much of a right-wing wacko as we think. One can only hope but if this news gets out he may be toast just like Miers.
In 2004, Alito issued an opinion in Shore Regional High School vs. P.S., reversing a federal judge's ruling that required a student who had been severely bullied for being
effeminate from attending a high school with the same students who had harassed
him for years.
Both opinions were written on behalf of unanimous three-judge panels of the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, based in Philadelphia.The split between the two school rulings by Alito — one striking down a broadly worded anti-harassment policy and the other protecting a student subjected to severe anti-gay harassment — suggest that while Alito is a conservative judge, he is not afraid to use the court's power to remedy a situation he views as unjust.
Happy Halloween!

After the Funeral--
''I was ready to do something a little lighter in tone than Six Feet,'' he tells the Hollywood Reporter. ''Five years of staring into the abyss was enough.'' Of course, Ball's idea of ''lighter'' sounds relative; his new HBO series will still involve characters intimately familiar with coffins. It's going to be based on Charlaine Harris' series of Southern Vampire books, about humans and bloodsuckers living together in rural Louisiana. ''The books are funny, scary, sexy, romantic, bizarre and really fun,'' Ball says.
I can't wait.

What a Saturday!
After watching Alabama's offensive struggles (due in part to some awesome defense from Tennessee), I am not so worried when they come to OUR house for the season finale.
By the way, I am sitting here writing this post with lotsa butterflies in my stomach. We are only 25 minutes from the kickoff of Auburn - LSU.
The day started off with the Georgia - Arkansas game on the SEC game of the week in the early time slot. That was another humdinger. Georgia squeaked out one just like Bama with a field goal to win by 3. But in the process lost their starting quarterback to a knee injury. So now if we get by LSU tonight I will feel a little better about our trip to Athens before the Bama game.
WTF!
"Auburn beat South Carolina who beat Troy who beat North Texas who beat Middle Tennessee St who beat Vanderbilt who beat Wake Forest who beat Clemson who beat North Carolina St who beat Georgia Tech".
So how come we got beat by Georgia Tech. It boggles the mind.

It's Okay to disagree!
So I replied--
As far as my opinion of Madonna: She's a college dance student from Detroit who quit college and lived on the streets of NYC and then caught a lucky break. Then she sang "Like a Virgin" and hit the big time. I have respected her chameleon like changes and have always been a fan of her music. Then when she came out with"Truth or Dare" and all the religious nuts came out of the woodwork, I said "You go girlfriend". Anyway, that's my story. And yes, her songs were the first I ever heard in my first time in a gay bar, so I may be a lil' bit jaded!
I'll get 12--
Okay, so my blog gal pal FunkyBrownChick was posting lately about her self-imposed "Man Diet" and I came to realize that it has been a very long time since I've had a boyfriend. I do have my "friends with benefits" and you all know who you are. But I want a real boyfriend so I think I will order this. That way I will have a dozen just like him-->.

We will continue to have a woman president (on tv) for at least until the spring. ABC has decided to pick up the show "Commander in Chief" for a full first season.

"I think it shows that is our school, and maybe the generation as a whole, is just a little more progressive," Wohlner said. Their election shatters stereotypes, Davlantes said. They are not at all the typical homecoming king and queen. Wohlner plays sports and went to prom with another girl last year. Ryan is a cheerleader.

Gay TV survey defies stereotypes
A study on the TV habits of gays and lesbians revealed Monday they like "South Park" just as much as "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy."
Gay men are most likely to watch -- in this order -- Comedy Central, Discovery, Spike TV, A&E, Bravo, Sci Fi, CNN, Lifetime, Fox News Channel and HGTV, the study said. Gay women, meanwhile, like premium cable channels such as HBO, A&E, USA, ESPN, Discovery, Lifetime, Showtime, Bravo, TNT and Starz.
Notice that the major broadcast networks are missing.

AUBURN -- Auburn's game against LSU on Saturday will be televised by ESPN, the network announced Monday.
The move was expected, although there was a slim chance the 6:45 p.m. game could have been bounced to ESPN2.
This will be Auburn's first appearance on ESPN since its season-opening loss to Georgia Tech on Sept. 3.

Good News--
KENNY IRONS Running Back, AUBURN
5-11 • 202 • Junior Dacula, Ga. (HS/South Carolina)
Irons rushed for a career-best 182 yards on 33 carries in Auburn's 34-17 win at Arkansas.
In the second half, Irons rushed for 126 yards on 23 carries as the Tigers outscored the Razorbacks, 28-7, in the final 30 minutes.
The performance is the first 150+ rushing yardage performance by an Auburn back since Carnell Williams tallied 204 yards against Alabama in 2003.
Irons' total was the third 100+ rushing yardage game in the last four contests.

Officially No. 15--
There were some shakeups in the Top 25 this week.
Number 10!
Here is his top ten with his comments:
1. Southern Cal - Despite dropped passes and great game planning by Charlie Weiss, Matt Leinart and company pulled one out of their hat against the odds…that’s what champions do.
2. Virginia Tech: DNP.
3. Texas - Faces only test of season next week against Red Raiders.
4. Georgia - The World’s Largest Cocktail Party looms large as last stumbling block to SEC Title Game
5. Alabama - I still love Brodie Croyle, but that game was not so lovable. Coach Shula went to the run on second-and-short and third-and-short too often. He should have trusted his Heisman-candidate quarterback.
6. Notre Dame - Beat Tennessee and the Irish appear headed to a BCS game.
7. UCLA - Bruins showed heart in second come-from-behind win.
8. Texas Tech - Red Raiders head to Austin to play for Big XII Championship, BCS shot
9. Oregon - Could tie UCLA for Holiday Bowl bid…or maybe BCS at large against Notre Dame?
10. Auburn - Aberration against Georgia Tech sent Tigers off the radar, but they can prove themselves against…

Gay Inclusive?
"Despite anti-gay statements by Farrakhan and other march organizers, Cleo Manago of Black Men's Exchange, which calls itself a group for black men of "diverse sexual/intimate expression," briefly addressed the crowd.
Benjamin Chavis, a march organizer, said gay participants attended and "are welcome here today."
Okay, now I have read another story that said that the gay groups weren't allowed to speak even though they were invited. Which do I believe? The one above from CNN or this one from a gay website. Wait. After further review they were speakers from different gay groups. I wonder why one would be allowed but not the other one.
Drugged?
A nasty lawsuit is shaping up in Las Vegas over the treatment Siegfried Fischbacher gave Roy Horn after his near-fatal tiger mauling.
The suit was filed by Horn's former bodyguard, Louis Mydlach. He's accusing Fischbacher, Horn's long-time partner, of retaliating against him when he tried to protect Horn - and of victimizing and keeping Horn drugged against Horn's will by giving him excess medication.
Fischbacher's lawyer called the lawsuit "false in all particulars" - and said Mydlach is trying to capitalize on Siegfried and Roy's fame and wealth.
Mydlach said he was wrongly fired after being subjected to emotional distress after Horn's injury during a show in October 2003. He seeks damages of at least $10,000.
