Hump Day Candy--




Nice tan and kissable lips! Ooh-la-la!

 

How many more?

One priest is already stepping down in protest of the Pope's new anti-gay policies:

Mesa priest resigns; says bishop becoming 'aggressively anti-gay'

How many more will follow? Stay tuned.

 

Still in the Hunt--

Tigers stay in hunt for BCS bowl game

AUBURN - Auburn survived another round of cuts Tuesday and remains in consideration for one of the four Bowl Championship Series games. The field of contending teams was reduced from 16 to 15 from the previous week.

Auburn remains a BCS contender by virtue of having nine wins and being ranked among the Top 12 teams in the nation. The Tigers, however, are not a favorite to make a BCS bowl and have instead been maneuvering toward the Capital One Bowl in Orlando.

Penn State, Southern California and West Virginia have already qualified for a BCS game. The other contenders are Auburn, Georgia, LSU, Florida State, Virginia Tech, Colorado, Texas, Miami, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oregon and UCLA.

Blame the Gays--

Well it looks like the Catholic Church is trying to lay the blame for all of the sexual abuse scandals on Gay Priests. Those guys were not Gay, they were pedophiles. And there is a big difference!

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - In the first major ruling of Pope Benedict's reign, the Vatican on Tuesday imposed restrictions on homosexuals entering the Catholic priesthood, saying men must first overcome any ``transitory'' gay tendencies.

Gay groups around the world were furious. The U.S-based Human Rights campaign called on Catholics of all sexual orientations to complain to their local pastors.

Nazis riding Dinosaurs--

Over the Thanksgiving weekend, Just Zack and I were up late watching TV after everyone else went to bed and we decided to check out the latest episode of Comedy Central's "Drawn Together". It is the animated version of Big Brother, where they have all these different cartoon characters all living in a Real World setting.

Well, one of the characters, Xandir, is gay. I know, how shocking is that?

And, one of the other characters, Spanky, who is an internet porn stalker gets a virus and needs to go to the clinic. But lo and behold, he doesn't have health insurance.

So Xandir and the stalker guy hatch a plan to get fake "Gay Married" so that the software guy can use Xandir's insurance benefits to cure his virus.

Needless to say, Ms. Religious Virgin (Princess Clara) would have nothing of it and swore that if they were able to marry that Nazis would start riding dinosaurs. (I loved this metaphor!)

So that brings me to this:

Elton John and his mister are getting hitched after 11 years.

Nick and Jessica are splitting up after 3 years.

I see Nazis riding Dinosaurs right down Main Street U.S.A.

And from here, not so scary!

Tend This--

Wow! We decided to go out on Friday night after spending the last couple of dayz doing the whole Turkey Day (go spend fake quality time with your family) ritual. It was Sis, Bro-in-Law and myself who went out to meet (yes, once again) The Good Doctor and his lovely wife at The Alley. The Good Doctor's wife's Sis was there, too.

It's the typical sports bar slash disco wannabe. TV's in all corners and a DJ Booth up in the sky overlooking a badly decorated stage at the end that has those bands that play the songs that you really don't want to hear. So, anyway!

We walked in and proceeded to order our drinks. I was asked what I wanted. The Good Doctor was buying the first round. Cool. I looked behind the bar thinking that I was going to stick with what I was currently drinking and there HE was. There was the cutest bartender behind the bar. He had curly hair and a goatee and a pierced ear. And then I saw his shirt. I almost "came" unglued. It was the cutest! It said: SPOONING LEADS TO FORKING!

And then I "came" unglued again!

I am going to have to get one of those shirts for myself!

It has been SO LONG since I have "spooned"! Or "Forked". Dammit!!!

Happy Thanksgiving--

Here are the 10 things I am thankful for today:

1. Getting to spend the day with the people in my life who really matter.

2. Health, Wealth (not really), and Wisdom. (Early to bed and early to rise, you know! Yeah, right!)

3. That our country is slowly waking from it's kool-aid induced slumber.

4. Good friends who called to say Happy Turkey Day.

5. Finally feeling better after catching a bit of a nasty cold (or so I hope it's going away).

6. Coming here and finding comments from Lady Dawnelle who hasn't visited here in awhile.

7. Auburn's victory over Alabama last Saturday.

8. When I came home, my two cats were really glad to see me.

9. Having this space to list these things for all of you to read.

10. Hopefully waking up tomorrow and doing it all over again.

Face Candy--



Today's Candy is a cutie (In my opinion). It may be because he looks an awful lot like "The Good Doctor". You remember the story about The Good Doctor, don't you?

I'm Confused!

How come the Bush Administration denies the validity of Global Warming when two of our own government agencies just reported this:

"In September, polar ice contracted to its smallest size in at least a century, according to measurements by space agency NASA and the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Center."

Snows fail to fall in Arctic tundra

It's getting scary when the Arctic tundra doesn't get snow. I would start to worry!

Grand Opening--

Well folks, it finally opened. The brand spanking new Georgia Aquarium held its Grand Opening today. Matt and Al from "The Today Show" were even here in Atlanta broadcasting the festivities live. So I was checking out the photos online and came across the one pictured here.

How political!

Playing Gay!


It seems these days, the sure fire way to Oscar gold is by playing HOMO. It worked for Tom Hanks, Hillary Swank and Charlize Theron. Here is a great article from yesterday's New York Times about this very thing.

Maybe Heath and Jake will both get best acting nods. I am sure that Phillip Seymour Hoffman's portrayal of Truman Capote will get one.

 

More good press--




The rave reviews just keep on coming for "Brokeback Mountain". Here's another positive article focusing on Heath Ledger's performance.

Missing in Action!

Regular readers of the blog may have wondered where I was yesterday. Yep, no post for Saturday! I suddenly realized today that yesterday was only the second day since this odyssey began that I had missed posting anything! Thoughts started racing through my head that maybe MyFunkyBrownDiva may suddenly think that maybe I had ventured to see her only to think I had been run down on Broadway by the little yellow cab. And I know my friends over at the Fountain must have thought that I had been murdered by some homophobes here in the Northwest Georgia mountains. Or my favorite piece of ASS may have thought that maybe I had jumped on a plane to Tijuana to begin a new life adventure. (This may actually happen!) But really this is why I did not, could not post yesterday:

--Got up in time to catch the ESPN College Gameday show. (Rumor had it that they may show up in Auburn for today's game. But when I tuned in and saw they were at Penn State, I was bummed.)

--Had to go to the store and get all the paper goods for the football party.

--Got to Sis's and helped get everything ready.

--And then about 100 people (it was more like 35) started to arrive. And we watched the game and it was 21-0 halfway through the first quarter and then I could start having fun. Yep, as long as the game is going our way early I can relax, and stop stressing and let my hair down. And that is exactly what I did!

--We went out to Broad Street to The Alley and danced to a live band (who sucked) and a DJ during the band breaks (that didn't suck). We had a blast and then at midnight when the bars have to close (because at midnight it becomes Sunday and that's a church day and we can't sell alcohol on a church day), we went back over to Sis's and continued to partay well after 3am.

Gary Wayne Carriker was convicted of felony reckless conduct for not disclosing he is HIV positive before engaging in private, consensual sex with another man.

Here in the red state of Georgia, a 26 year-old medical student will now spend 10 years in jail. I find that a bit harsh!

Here's a good editorial on the case.

Gay Penguins?

I don't know what it is about "Will & Grace" that inspires these posts. But somehow we always end up here on Thursday nights. It IS fun, isn't it? Last week we had the sweater vest that Just Jack! wore that was the exact copy that Just Zack! wore to his girlfriend's play. It was actually TOO gay, by the way!

Tonight's episode was about Just Jack! getting his new apartment and moving far, far away from Will. There were also gay penguins that the zoo was attempting to seperate. And one was named Beverly Leslie. He cracks me up. It was supposed to be some crazy type of metaphor. (It was SO obvious!). In the end, Just Jack! decided to donate his move-in money to the gay penguin cause and stay close to Will.

Fast forward to the series finale:

The Price of Fame--

"I wish!"

So I was inspired by my FunkyBrown diva's post today and decided to see how much my blog is worth. Here are the results:




My blog is worth $3,951.78.
How much is your blog worth?

I guess I need to improve its' worth somehow. Anybody out there got any ideas how I can make this blog more entertaining or sassy. I am thinking it is in need of a "Queer Eye" make-over. Please leave suggestions in the suggestion box for management. Thanks for stopping by!

This one has it all! Nice abs and a cute Hispanic look.

He reminds me a little bit of Bruno Campos, the newest sexiest bi-sexual plastic surgeon on "Nip/Tuck". Only a little cuter and alot SEXIER!!


 

Iron Bowl Showdown



Tigers vs Tide

The Tigers welcome the nasty, ugly elephants to the Plains this weekend for the annual "Iron Bowl" game. We are having another football gathering at Sis's house that's sure to be a blast.

More good press--

Here's another positive review for the gay cowboy movie, "Brokeback Mountain".

"Brokeback Mountain" could be the mainstream gay romance that many people have been waiting for. One Toronto wag called it "the gay 'Gone with the Wind'." "Of all the gay-themed films I've watched," says Damon Romine of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, "this is the first one I've seen about two men in love, told in a way that straight people can relate to. People don't have to be gay to understand loss and longing and unrequited love. Hollywood churns out endless variations on the theme of forbidden love. This is a new take on that genre, a film that has tremendous potential to reach and transform mainstream audiences."

Testify Sister!

So tonight I am over at sis's house for dinner and it's getting ready to be bedtime for the nephews. They have to have their nightly routines finished by 9pm. You know! Showered, in pajamas and teeth brushed or else! Tonight was a surreal experience to say the least.

"Goodnights" are said and off to bed they go. Or so we thought!

We had begun to watch TV and then it started. The nightly STALL!

Yep, multiple trips downstairs to "remind" mom of something they meant to tell her right after school. Mom, I didn't eat enough dinner and I am still hungry. Dad, I forgot to tell you that I need some help with my next school project. And on and on and ON! It's a nightly ritual, especially if the TV is on.

Well, Mom was having NONE of it tonight and she snapped! "Go to BED right now!"

They scurried and then my brother-in-law kinda' looked at her funny and she began to tell the story of HER day:

"First of all they have been this way all day long. After picking them up from school I have heard nothing but whining. "

"Like what?" he meekly asks.

"I asked them to clean up the carport and I got nothing but aw mom, or that's his and not mine, or no it's not mine it's JUST ZACK's"

It took me five times to ask them to bring in firewood!

And then, we stopped at the CVS and I had to lock them out of the car for ten minutes while they continued to argue and fight in the parking lot over who called "SHOTGUN!" first!

So yeah, "GO TO BED, RIGHT NOW!!!!"

Dave and I busted out loud laughing hysterically.

It was one of those priceless MasterCard moments!

(Note: if you clicked on the TV link and wondered why we were watching that show, it was TIVO'ed cause Sista was at a work meeting last night.)

 

Prince Charming--

It seems that the young handsome prince is turning heads (male and female) at his new internship at the banking giant HSBC. Yep, even handsome princes have to work!

And it's not just the ladies who've been inspired to new sartorial heights. "He's really impressed everyone - including the men. Everyone's dressing a bit smarter. Everyone made sure their poppies were in their lapels before Armistice Day."

Click here to see the prince in his "birthday" suit.

 

Funny Ha Ha--

I received this joke in an email and just had to share it:

One day a fourth-grade teacher asked the children what their fathers did for a living. All the typical answers came up: fireman, mechanic, businessman, salesman, doctor, lawyer and so forth.

But little Justin was being uncharacteristically quiet, so when the teacher prodded him about his father, he replied,"My father's an exotic dancer in a gay cabaret and takes off all his clothes in front of other men and they put money in his underwear. Sometimes, if the offer is really good, he will go home with some guy and have sex with him for money."

The teacher, obviously shaken by this statement, hurriedly set the other children to work on some exercises and then took little Justin aside to ask him, "Is that really true about your father?!""No," the little boy said, "He works for the Republican National Committee and helped re-elect George W. Bush, but I was too embarrassed to say that in front of all the other kids."


Ha Ha Ha Ha

Here's a positive story about the female hosts of "Air America" in the New York Times. It features Rachel Maddow and Rhandi Rhodes. They are two of my favorites. Yeah, I have to catch their archives mostly online.

Dr. Feelgood--

Okay, regular readers of the blog will recall my tease about The Good Doctor from my sista's birthday celebration. I told you I would fill you in later, so here goes:

The Good Doctor and his wife are friends of ours. Plus they are really a cute couple in their mid-30's. They are both HOT! Well, Saturday night at sista's birthday celebration we were dancing and having a good time. Needless to say, cocktails were flowing. So I was out there dancing with sis and the good doctor's wife and he decides to join us. And just to "tease" me he came up behind me and started to grind my butt. So I started to have fun and return the favor. I grabbed his ass! And he seemed to like it! (to be continued) . . .

Needless to say, I thoroughly enjoyed it!

 

Hysterical--

Click here and then put your magic mouse over the picture for a "Peep" show.

I just love that you can find anything on the internet!

 

Good Press--


Here's a good article about the upcoming "Brokeback Mountain". Good word of mouth is creating a huge buzz about the movie.

Will straight guys in Kansas show up at the movie theatres for this one? Probably not! There should be plenty of open minded folks out there to boost the box office, though! One can hope, anyway!

Anger Management--

Looks like the city leaders of San Francisco are not liking Bill O'Reilly at the moment. He's basically saying that Al Quaida has his permission to come over here and bomb Coit Tower because city voters are deciding to ban military recruitment in public schools because of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy of discrimating against gays in the US Military. Well, well! Does anybody really still take this guy seriously after the whole loufa sponge sex scandal? The only troubling thing to me is that he makes millions of dollars and reaches 1.2 million fellow Americans nightly with this bullshit.

GI Brad vs Drag-gelina


Okay! I am sitting here putting my christmas wish list together and I can't decide which doll I want to ask Santa to bring me. Do I want the action figure doll or the funky diva doll? I can't decide. So let's compare the models for the dolls: Brad Pitt vs. RuPaul!

I loved Brad as the cowboy hustler in "Thelma and Louise".

I loved RuPaul's "Supermodel" (You better work, bitch!).

So, you get to decide what to get me for Christmas!

 

Another Tiger Cutie--




Over the weekend, I caught part of the Clemson-Florida State game and came to the conclusion that Clemson Tiger quarterback Charlie Whitehurst is extremely cute. He comes close to being as cute as Auburn Tiger quarterback Brandon Cox (my favorite, of course!)

Track the Tigers during the game between the hedges tonight in Athen, GA

 

Saturday Showdown--

Tomorrow is the probably going to decide you plays for the SEC championship in Atlanta the first week of December. I hope that MY tigers will be there in the GA Dome.

So here's the gameplan for tomorrow:

I'll wake up in time to catch the ESPN Gameday predictions.
I will have to take a shower and get ready for sis's party and take an overnight bag and then go and buy sis a birthday present before heading to her house before the Alabama-LSU game kicks off at 3:30pm.
We will get ready to go the birthday football bash around 6:00. Cocktails and snacks will prevail before the Auburn-Georgia game kicks off at 7:45pm on ESPN.
Then we go out! Probably at halftime to a sports bar to watch the finale before making our way to the dance bar to finish the birthday celebration.

I can't wait!

Lions, Tigers, and Bears (Oh My!)--

Tonight I was over at sis's house staying with the nephews while mom and dad went to visit some friends and have a pre-birthday celebration for my sis. Sista' turns 42 tomorrow and we are gonna have the official party tomorrow nite. But tonight they were invited over to Mr. Burns' house cause Mr. Burns and his lovely wife are not going to be able to join us tomorrow night because of a prior engagement. So I digress....

(enjoying a cocktail!)

So after watching "Friends" on TBS we see that they are going to show "The Wizard of OZ". Not just the version we have all seen, but the brand new digitally-enhanced remastered version. So I ask the twins, "Do you want to watch this?"

"Yeah, sure Uncle Tony! It's been a while since we seen it and this is going to be cool to see how remastered it is." I am not kidding, they couldn't wait to see how much better the movie was going to be technologically. (Their dad is a computer geek.)

So we started watching and I was amazed. It really did look like it was filmed in '99 and not '39. Simply amazing. While we were watching I understood why I loved this movie so much.

It's still SO GAY!

Come on! The cowardly lion IS gay! How else do you explain the perm and red bow at the end?

And it starred Judy Garland who begat Liza Minelli.

Just Zack!


A couple of weekends ago, I was babysitting the 10 year-old nephews while mom and dad were working and housesitting. They also have an 18 year-old brother, Zack. Well Zack was getting ready to go to his girlfriend's high school play and he came out dressed to the nines in khaki pants, a nice white shirt and this cool pink and purple and black sleeveless argyle sweater vest. It had big pink triangles on the pattern.

"Uncle Tony, does this look too gay?" he asks.

"No, Zack, I think it looks good!" I replied.

"That's what I thought, too. Everybody else said it looked gay."

So he proceeded to go to the play and I didn't think anything else about it until the next day when I retold the episode to my sister and brother-in-law and we all had a huge chuckle about it. My brother-in-law, David, said that I should have said, "No Zack, that is just the right amount of Gay." And I would have, had I been faster with my wit.

So this brings me to the reason for this post. Tonight I am watching "Will & Grace" and lo and behold Jack (Just Jack!) is wearing the same sweater vest! Exactly! I cannot wait to tell my nephew, Zack, that YES I should have stopped him from wearing that vest that fateful night out. I am sure his friends (IF they watched TV tonite) will give him hell. But he thinks having a gay uncle is pretty cool so it will probably not matter much. To him, anyway.

 

Saturday Night Showdown--



Auburn and Georgia renew the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry when the two teams meet Saturday in Athens. This will be the 109th meeting between the two teams, with Auburn holding a 52-48-8 edge in the series. It will also be the fifth time in the last six years that both teams will be nationally ranked entering the game.

 

Swept out with the trash--

It's not science! That seems to be the rallying cry for voters in Dover, PA who voted out the entire school board (all Republicans) who were up for re-election and replaced them with Democrats. This is the school district that's involved in a bitter court fight about intelligent design being taught in biology class. Seems the voters had the final say. Isn't Democracy great? When it's allowed to work the way our forefathers intended.


"My kids believe in God. I believe in God. But I don't think it belongs in the science curriculum the way the school district is presenting it," said Jill Reiter, 41, a bank teller who joined a group of high school students waving signs supporting the challengers Tuesday.

UPDATE: I was sitting here watching the NBC Nightly News and they just ran a story about a comment that Pat Robertson made about the citizens of Dover , PA. He basically said that they had voted God out of their city and if a disaster were to hit the town, they were on their own. WTF! Can these crazy fundigelicals get any more crazy? I am sure they can but REALLY!

 

Good News!

House suspends Alaska drilling push

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A solid phalanx of Republican moderates drove House GOP leaders to drop a hotly contested plan to open an Alaskan wilderness area to oil drilling as a sweeping budget bill headed toward a vote Thursday.

A plan to allow states to lift a moratorium on oil drilling off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts was also axed.

--Notice that it was the Moderates in the House that killed the bill. Finally, hopefuly, they can take back control from the far right and do something good for the country as a whole. Could be that they also see the writing on the wall in the upcoming '06 elections and they started listening to their constituents who will vote their asses out and not big business interests. Could we actually have started to take back the country? I hope so!

 

Gay Media Merger--



PlanetOut, Inc. acquires publisher of Advocate, Out

PlanetOut, Inc., which operates a number of the most popular gay Web sites including Gay.com, announced on Wednesday that it has acquired LPI Media, Inc., which publishes the Advocate and Out magazines, among other interests.


 

We Knew!

Yesterday I wrote about how I couldn't believe that Madonna could be "shocked" by the gay cowboy movie "Brokeback Mountain" unless I heard it directly from her mouth. Now she goes on a British chat show and claims she is a "gay man trapped in a woman's body". Now that I can believe.

Not sure a gay man would be caught dead in that chiffon dress to go out to feed the chickens, though!

Today's Candy is fitness model/actor Rusty Joiner.

Exile, I hope you don't mind--

One of my favorite fellow members of the gay and lesbian community and I share an anonymous connection. We know what it is!

You may have checked out Exile's blog by my link to their blog. I love their take on all things relating to the daily struggles that we in the GLBT community deal with daily especially during this MISadministration that we currently have to deal with. Well the other day they posted a wonderful historical entry of all the famous gays and lesbians that have contributed to the greater society as a whole. It was a wonderful list of historical figures, some I knew and some I did not. Thanks Exile, by the way for updating my internal gay encyclopedia! Well this post of theirs seemed to get some heated comments from someone who disagreed with their take on things. Yeah! Another Bush koolaid drinking social conservative who disagreed with any of us in society who may be different getting any "special" civil rights. You know, just like that black lady who refused to give up her seat on the bus. Isn't that so 60"s? Well I just had to post her response to one of those comments (because I could not have said it better):

"Let's see, we also forgot to add Mark Bingham to our list, one of the heros of Flight 93 on that fateful 9/11, that kept his plane from potentially slamming into a government building, is also a gay man.I'm sure by saving countless lives he made no contribution to "man."I'm sure only those that squirt out babies or the semen in the effort to make babies make a contribution.Yet, this contribution can come in the form of the next Son of Sam or Ted Bundy. Contributions don't always come from what develops between your legs. Sometimes it's from between your ears, from the pen in your hand, from the words from your mouth, and from the love in your heart.I contribute through my love to another human being and add value to this world and to the lives of the people I meet through my deeds and words.I can't make anyone see that I deserve anything, just by being me, and especially when someone refuses to see the validity of my life. Simply because I don't want to marry a man and have his baby, this makes me less valid is some people's eyes and those are minds I'll never change, no matter what is said or what proof is given. It's conversations like that which are not worth continuing.They will also NEVER see or if they see NEVER care that they deny another person their "pursuit of happiness." A pursuit which does not harm another. However, if you turn the tables and demanded a popular vote on issues that would affect or impact their personal lives, it would be terribly discriminatory and unfair of us to vote on their personal lives.After all, what would happen if we could vote on these amendments?Your first spouse maintains all rights to your finances and property in the event of your adultery, not your 2nd spouse, 3rd spouse, 4th spouse, ad nauseum and any children begetted from your adulterous affair, whether it later becomes a marriage, will not be rewarded with medical coverage or financial gain-only children from your first marriage will have a right to this benefit.If caught in an adulterous affair, you will be publicly lashed, forced to pay fines related to mental anguish to your spouse and your children, and then spend a year in jail for every year you cheated and/or for every affair you had. If caught in an adulterous affair, you will lose unsupervised visitation rights with your children and visitations will only be allowed at the non-adulterous spouses discretion and can be revoked at any time.I would personally enjoy voting on these. Turn about is fair play. Then again, I'm monogamous so these amendments wouldn't affect me even if I was married. I can see where a straight person can get off on someone else's pain. The whole "yeah, we'll teach them a lesson" mentality.Hmmm, well, how sad that someone feels it necessary to spend their time trying to make someone else SO miserable!"

Hollywood Liberals -- Part deux


Remember this post from Sunday? Well it looks like it is already beginning. According to this Drudge Report article, the movie "Brokeback Mountain" is going to be:

"too much for red-state audiences, but it gives the liberal-leaning Academy a great chance to stick its thumb in conservatives' eyes."

According to the report, even Madonna calls the movie "Shocking"! I cannot believe that for one minute unless I hear it straight from her mouth.
