My friend Tom sent me this eCard and I thought it was so funny that I had to post it on my blog. Congratulations to the SF Giants on winning the World Series.
Suddenly I feel like I understand why these social media platforms have become so popular!
Last week local news in New England was obsessed with a car accident on the streets of back bay because an individual had run a red light and hit Patriot’s QB, Tom Brady. I could not have cared less, but I assure you I was in the distinct minority.
The YouTube video is a parody of the reporting of the car accident and is just one more example of how obsessed New England is with their sports teams.

Stephanie Mencimer’s article on MotherJones.com “Rick Santorum’s Anal Sex Problem” was forward to me by my friend Tom who also dislikes the ultra-conservative former U.S. Senator from PA. Although Santorum is the darling of conservatives and may have eyes on a Presidential run in 2012 the article explains that he has a bit of a Google issue.
When you Google Rick Santorum, top search results consistently list SpreadingSantorum.com (FYI – not cool to check out if at work). The site explains that Santorum’s last name is a sexual neologism for “the frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex.”
Apparently Dan Savage launched this site a few years ago and has not updated it recently but Google (and Bing I’ve just discovered) list SpreadingSantorum.com as one of the top 3 sites.
I know its petty, but I’d like to ask bloggers to encourage their readers to look up Rick Santorum on both Google and Bing and click the appropriate link to keep the embarassing link high in the rankings… Who knows, perhaps I’ll even add it as a link to my own site as my way of saying F.U. to the man who’s made a career out of homophobic and hateful speech against the GLBT community.
Last year I included this vlog posting after seeing it on WGB. After listening to a couple friends recently complain about bad dates in Boston and another friend’s decision to end her blog, My quest to find a husband, I thought I’d repost this YouTube video.
Words matter – if they didn’t this sign would not be so funny. I still remember when this small park on West Newton Street was being built and the first time I saw the name of the new neighborhood park. The irony is that the park happens to be in the traditionally gay neighborhood of Boston, the South End.
I’m sure Mr. (or Mrs.) Hiscock was a wonderful person, but unfortunately for them, locally this is not known as Hiscock Park, rather it is referred to as His-Cock.
Pictures really can tell a story, and when I stumbled across this photo posted on the Life and Times of a Gay Guy blog, I could not help but post it. According to the blog, the photo orginated here on Facebook.
Generally I don’t post pictures with curses, but this kid’s response to the homophobic protester next to him seems both reasonable and accurate.
Comments anyone?
I’ve posted this video before but in light of yesterday’s ruling by Federal Judge Vaughn Walker to strike down California’s odious Prop 8, I thought I would post this again. Enjoy the 2-minute clip and pass it along.
Consider this today’s grammar lesson. I rarely post videos back-to-back but stumbling upon this proved too much for me and I felt compelled. Perhaps this sort of humor won’t be appreciated, but I think its brilliant.
Are there any phrases in English that you hear people consistently say incorrectly that drive you crazy? For me I loathe it when people say “nucular”. People the word is “nuclear”.
Good news for Margaret Cho fans living in Boston. According to her website and local ads that I’ve seen in the paper, The Cho Dependent Tour will be rolling into Boston this fall on Thursday, October 28th at the Wilbur Theatre. Tickets go on sale starting this Friday at Ticketmaster.
Did you watch Glee? Do you know what the acronym WWMD stands for? I do, now that I’ve seen this week’s show. I’m embarassed by how much I enjoy watching this show and this week really put me over the edge with an entire episode dedicated to Madonna songs.
It is tough to pick my favorite scene from this week’s show, but I think it would probably be when Kurt speaks to Sue Sylvester in her office w/ Mercedes after Mr. Schuester schooled Sue about her Florence Henderson-like hair cut in the hallway.
“Mercedes is black and I’m gay. We make culture.”
Favorite Madonna song from tonight’s show… well that’s just too hard to pick, but hearing “Gambler” over the intercom was certainly the biggest surprise. I love that song and never hear it. The song I most would have liked to have heard…. “Get into the Groove”.
I’ll be the first to admit that my sense of humor is not appreciated by everyone, but this mini-infomercial stopped me dead in my tracks when I heard it last year and it had the same effect when I heard it earlier tonight. Do the makers of “Pro-Caulk” realize what they are saying? Check out the video. I was almost in tears listening to the enthusiastic voice practically shout “You need Pro-Caulk!”
Just in case you think this is a farce, you can visit the official “Caulk” site as I like to refer to it by linking here. No worries unlike many “caulk” sites on the web this is totally safe to view from work. It might even inject some much needed humor into your day.
Matthew Gilbert of The Boston Globe wrote an interestingly funny article back in November that I forgot to post until today. In his article, Matthew writes, what if the networks and cable channels promoted themselves as they really are? He surmised that their names, slogans, and mission descriptions might look something like this. I’ve chosen a couple of my favorites.NBC = SDTV: Self-Destructive TV
We dig ourselves deeper into the hole!
At SDTV, we don’t fool around when it comes to ruining our network. By placing our future in the hands of personalities such as Howie Mandel, Donald Trump, and Jay Leno, we pretty much guarantee our own failure.
Bravo = GLBTv
For Grace and her favorite Will
Need some fabulous fashion advice? Want a lesson in trendy lingo? We know absolutely everything about clothes, real estate, and hair. Plus, we have Kathy Griffin. Let us be your gay best friend.
Fox News = Fox “News’’
Who cares if it’s true?
In our shop, we believe that too much value is placed on facts. We’d rather just go after anything that moves in that unbalanced, unfair, democratic, liberal, commie kind of way. You know what we mean. If you like screeds, we’ll be there for you.
