Detachable Penis by King Missile

Mr Potato missing penisDo you remember this alternative rock hit by King Missile? I remember Boston radio station, 101.7 WFNX, having this in heavy rotation when it first came out in the early 90s, but I hadn’t given it much thought until I was reading Blobby’s blog last week, and I saw his accompanying photo to his post, Penis Song.

The lyrics of this song still make me laugh. The opening line is, “I woke up this morning with a bad hangover and my penis was missing again.”  If you’ve never heard the song before I’m glad I could share it with you and if you are familiar – enjoy the throwback.

The Second Half: A Gay American Football Story

gay literature, lgbt literatureLocal author, Scott Pomfret, has a new book that looks ideal for summer reading. While I’ve yet to read the book, I liked the review Edge Media shared and thought I’d pass this along to anyone looking for some light summer reading.

“Give my boy ninety-nine solid choices and one disastrous one, and he’ll choose disaster every time.”

Those harsh words are spoken by Loretta Stone, not out of judgment but concern and pity for her son, Peyton, the subject of Scott Pomfret’s exciting, touching new romance, “The Second Half: A Gay American Football Novel.”

Unofficial Bear Week party in Boston tonight

Bear TshirtBear Week in Provincetown now attracts tens of thousands of men from all over the US and the world. Many of those men have started arriving in Boston today so they can take a fast ferry to Ptown Saturday morning for their weekly rental.

Ptown Bears encourages their readers to head over to The Alley early and I would do the same with my readers who may be looking for something different / fun to do tonight. Typically this is one of the busiest nights for The Alley so if you are looking for something different to do, head over to The Alley but don’t be too fashionably late otherwise you will likely be standing in line.

BosGuy brain teaser

cops, brain teaser, riddleEach 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.

I’ll confirm answers in the afternoon so don’t worry if you don’t see your comment posted right away. I want to give everyone a chance to guess.

This week’s riddle:
A man is found murdered on Sunday morning. When the police arrive they question the wife and staff and are provided the following alibis:

The wife says she was sleeping
The butler says he was cleaning the closet
The gardener was picking vegetables
The maid was getting the mail
The cook was preparing breakfast

Immediately after collecting the alibis the police arrested the murderer. Who did it and how did the police know?
