Suddenly it makes sense
Is it just me or does the combination of the facial expressions on these two players, their body positioning and the headline to the left seem to all say “porn”?
This post seems to be in keeping with my previous suddenly it makes sense posting from last week. How did I miss this overtly sexual imagery when I was in high school? I’m certain I would have played more sports then.
Codzilla and the nephews
The definition of “uncle” should be parenting without any of the hang-ups, expenses or disciplining required. Today I’m relishing in that role. Sergio and I are taking my two nephews Jack and Austin on Codzilla.
Codzilla is a large boat that has a giant, ravenous looking Cod painted along its side. The ride will take us on a trip through Boston harbor for approximately 45 minutes at speeds of up to 40 mph. Seems like the perfect way to spend a summer afternoon with two boys age seven and nine. I can hardly wait to see their expressions.
Here is a recent photo of the three siblings. Abby will sit out the boat ride with Mom.

The Kinsey Sicks
San Francisco’s dragapella beauty shop quartet just posted this humorous ditty on YouTube and I couldn’t help but share it.
The Kinsey Sicks are currently touring. Sadly, they will not be in Boston this fall but you may see the full calendar of tour dates here.

Vintage gay photographs
A blog I’ve discovered online is the Winger Jock blog, which first got my attention with the recent post, 100 Years of Gay Couples, it posted last week.
The post includes 19 other pictures of gay couples spanning the last century and as Pierre from Winger Jock Blog says, “Yes, we have been around forever.“
Congressman says rape victims punish unborn if they get an abortion
On Sunday Republican Congressman Akin who is running to win a Senate Seat from incumbent Sen. Claire McCaskill in Missouri said of pregnancy caused by rape. “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down… But let’s assume that maybe that didn’t work or something: I think there should be some punishment, but the punishment ought to be of the rapist, and not attacking the child.”
It is precisely comments like this and the crazy culture that is not only endorsed but often applauded by Republican leaders that leaves me wondering 1) How does this party expect to be more than a regional player moving forward 2) Why is this an issue? The comments come across tone deaf and misogynistic at the least and frightfully fanatical; something one might hear in a theocracy rather than a democracy based on individual liberties and separation of church and state.
It isn’t enough for Republicans to distance themselves.
Normally I overlook these stories but this illustrates the concerns I raised in my post on Saturday, Does Romney’s selection of Ryan signal a change. We need more political choices – not fewer; that requires the Republican Party to grow up and develop a strong wing that is socially progressive. Reactive political posturing from Republicans trying to distance themselves from Akin’s comments isn’t enough.
Taste of Provincetown
For the past couple of weeks I’ve been writing about The Taste of Provincetown, which takes place this Saturday from 6 PM to 9 PM at Provincetown Town Hall. Will you be in Ptown this weekend? If so, come and join me. The event begins with a VIP reception but is open to the public from 6 PM to 9 PM.
5 PM to 6 PM VIP Reception – Harbor Lounge
6 PM to 7 PM Music and Food & Wine Tastings
7 PM to 7:30 PM QuickFire Challenge with Chef Tiffani Faison
7:30 PM to 8 PM Speaking Program with Special Guests
8 PM to 9 PM More Music, Food and Wine Tastings
Money from this worthwhile event goes to support MassEquality, a group that works to ensure every lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender person in Massachusetts is protected from cradle to grave—with equal rights and opportunities in school, in marriage and family life, at work and in retirement.
Will The Boston Phoenix merge with Stuff@Night
Rumor has it that The Boston Phoenix, which dates back to 1966, may be closing and / or merging with its sister publication, Stuff@Night.
Are the days really numbered for The Boston Phoenix?
Earlier this year the Phoenix Media/Communications Group (the paper’s parent company) made headlines when it sold their radio station WFNX 101.7 to Clear Channel Communications. Could there be credibility to the rumor the paper the media group is named after may disappear all together or merge into one publication with its sister publication Stuff@Night?
Provincetown Carnival 2012
My friend Olivier Jamin Changeart and his partner Fréd-éric Nicol are two of the three silver aliens who keep appearing in the video above.
Olivier was so quick that when he posted this great video of all the fun from last Thursday during Provincetown’s Carnival Parade I couldn’t resist asking if I could swipe this and share it with you.
Have you never visited Provincetown for Carnival? Next year’s theme of Viva Las Vegas is sure to be enticing. 2013 Carnival Week will run from August 18th – 24th. Book your rooms / house now.
Temptation Tuesday
This Stockholm native competes in the Decathlon but did not qualify to participate at the London Olympics. That fact does not diminish Bjorn’s appeal in my opinion. FYI Bjorn is studying computer science at the University of Nebraska; knowing this makes Nebraska more appealing.
The Book of Mormon national tour
The Book of Mormon comes to Boston April 2013
The Book of Mormon, written by South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker with lyrics by Avenue Q songwriter Robert Lopez, is a satirical story of two Mormon missionaries who venture to Uganda to share the scriptures.
The fantastically successful Broadway show took home an amazing 9 Tony awards last year including Best Musical. So news of a national tour was eagerly anticipated and last week the show opened in Denver. Tour dates run through next summer concluding in Washington D.C.
More about the tour and cities they will visit may be read here.
USS Constitution sails in Boston Harbor
On Sunday while taking the high speed ferry from Provincetown back to Boston we were treated to watching the USS Constitution (a.k.a. Old Iron Sides) sailing through Boston Harbor. Here is a quick photo I hastily snapped.
The sail was held to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the ship’s victory over HMS Guerriere in the War of 1812 and it drew thousands of spectators on land and sea.
More about the USS Constitution here.
