riddle, exercise for your brain

Each Friday morning I post a riddle to get you to think outside the box and exercise your brain. If you are stumped, share it with a friend or colleague and see if you can figure out the answer together. Leave your answer in the comment section.

This week’s riddle: Name a 5-letter word, if typed all in capital letters and was turned upside down would be the same word.

I have one word in mind but there may be others that would also work. I’ll approve responses later in the day to give people a chance to respond without seeing any spoilers.

Vintage gay

Posted on March 23, 2023 | 6 comments

I’m very intrigued by this week’s vintage gay photo of guys at a gay bar (I’m guessing in the 1980s based on haircuts and clothing). I have no idea why the guy in the white t-shirt has miniature handcuffs clamped to his button fly and belt loop. I’m also more than a little curious to know who is the guy hidden behind him. Either way, these guys look like they are enjoying themselves.

It’s the demise of gay bars, which may still be around but aren’t quite gay like this anymore that I sometimes miss when I am out. Anyone else feel a similar sesnse of melancholy?

Dani’s Queer Bar announces opening date

Posted on March 22, 2023 | Leave a comment

In January, Boston’s LGBTQ Night Life announced they would be opening a bar dedicated to queer women and non-binary LGBTQ+ community. Earlier this month, the former home of the Pour House in Back Bay was identified as the home of Dani’s Queer Bar, but the big question was when would they open? This week Dani’s Queer Bar answered that question sharing that their goal is to be open June 1st (in time for Boston’s Pride Week celebration).

This is HUGE news when you consider according to Wikipedia only 15 lesbian bars remain in all of the United States.

For more information about this new queer venue follow their Instagram account, Dani’s Queer Bar  🏳️‍⚧️.

Furry Friday

I realize this guy may not be as hairy as my typical Furry Friday post but I wanted to tie this week’s post into the St. Patrick’s Day holiday. We’ll just refer to him as this week’s Lucky Charms.
