Hardy Har Har

Toward the end of the Sunday service, the minister asked, "How many of you are willing to forgive your enemies?" 80% held up their hands. The Minister then repeated his question. All responded this time, except one small elderly Lady.
"Mrs. Jones, are you not willing to forgive your enemies?"
"I don't have any." She replied, smiling sweetly.
"Mrs. Jones, that is very unusual. How old are you?"
"Ninety eight." she replied.
"Oh, Mrs. Jones, would you please come down to the front and tell us all how a person can live ninety eight years and not have an enemy in the world?"
The little sweetheart of a lady tottered down the aisle, faced the congregation, and said: "I outlived the bitches."

Seattle Gay Bash
Your Kidding Me Right?

Ok...So sometimes we forget in even the most gay friendly areas like Seattle these horrid things happen...So Scary! Seattle has such a rich history of being gay friendly.....So sad!....I hope they catch these SOB's and put them in the slammer and hopefully they get gang banged. Oh that would be too much fun...how about they just get the tar beat out of them....

Via Slog comes news of a gay bashing in Seattle over Labor Day weekend.

Andrew Geske, 26, was reportedly attacked while walking home from the Capitol Hill gay bar Pony early on Monday morning by a group of men in a black BMW who verbally taunted and physically assaulted him before grabbing and dragging him by the arm down the street as the car sped away.
Said Geske to The Stranger: "I had just started walking up to the car when the driver got out of the car, yelling, 'Get the fuck away from my car, faggots.' Then he slammed a punch into my face. I fell against the car. My arm ended up inside of their window, which was down… The passenger grabbed onto my arm, and they just peeled out driving real fast. I just remember staring at my roommate on the sidewalk, trying to figure out what was going on. It happened in like five seconds, all of this. I freed myself loose and kind of rolled away onto the ground. They were gone real quick."
Geske is 6'2" and works as a barback and personal trainer, according to the paper. Witnesses to the attack described hearing gay slurs, and the incident is being investigated as a hate crime by Seattle police.
Added Geske: "Word needs to get out that gays are still being targeted. Call me naive, but I didn’t think this could happen here.
One more photo and a fuller description of the attack, at Slog.

Dieux Du Stade 2008 hits stores worldwide on September 6! How excited are you?

BUSY as a BEE!!!

Been as busy as a bee......No time to post and blog...not even time to visit all the blogs I lova lova--hate it....Im feel like I am missing out-- will need a few days to catch up!

My hunnys B day was Monday so we had a fun filled Labor Day weekend- Had alot of get togethers, outings and of course drank alot-- still recouping!

His Aunts who was living with us moved out this last weekend as well ( the crowd roars!) they moved to a new nest and is starting a new life in Seattle. Its nice to have our home to ourselves again.

Still working out like mad-- Trying to lose as much as I can as we leave next Thursday for Hawaii!! So we are working out like demons and getting everything in order for the trip- Need to get in shape so I can post a bathing beauty pick while we are in the islands....ha! We are so looking forward to it...Only part I hate is leaving the kids-- Our shih tzus- Maile and Alika and our cat-Mamma...I wish they could go with us too....

Its our last weekend to get all in order--its going to be a busy one!!

So I Was Thinking Today....

I have been working out for 2 weeks!! Yippee!!! In 16 days I leave for Hawaii!!!!! I really can’t wait to get out on a vacation from this hell pit some people would call a job…I am surely looking for a new one when I get back from vacation. It is finally slowing down and I will actually have time to seek a better fit for me. I so stupid or rather so dedicated that I have been too busy at work to think about looking for a new one…Call me nuts…. I have said this many times before- I love my job but I just don’t like the boar hogs I work with—This is a first for me too as I cant remember a time that I had to work with people I don’t get along with –never….I have left jobs in the past but it has always been the need to move on to learn more or get recruited to another new work experience etc---But in this new job the women are old, fat, been here forever, and shall I say it—Big time crotches….They hate me and make my life miserable- There is so many reasons they make my life hell but I think the main one is I walked in and got a lead position and get paid better than all of them—is it my fault they have been here for an eternity and not moved on to make more $? The answer to that is simple—they stayed here because its easy and lax….Perfect for the wide asses they all sit on and jaws they flap all day long ….Back stabbers……I don’t take it and I think that what gets them fired up…oh and my sales rock and roll too..he he he.....oh well enough of my bitching….I think the best case scenario when I get home is to look HARD for a new job and if I have too take November and December off when I get back—I am that close to doing that! A Nice winter vacation sounds lovely…

At least I have a nice vacation coming up—So that should help re-charge me and at least there is a light at the end of the tunnel for the next few weeks……There really is no place like home. I can’t wait to get to the beach and sink my toes in the sand and get into the water. Hope this working out like a demon pays off….I think I have lost about 8 or more pounds….I feel better that’s for sure!!!! I felt like a whale as I ran on the treadmill last night next to all these skinny mini boys and gals...I would like to lose another 8 or so—My goal was to lose 20 before Hawaii so I am on track… And when we get back its back to the gym as I know I will eat all those plate lunches when I get back in the islands…. Hoping I can boogie board it away at the beach!

Who Wants to Scream Like A Super Hero?

Last nights episode was a good one-- crawling through a tubing tunnel with snakes-spiders and rats! Poor mannequin like Parthenon screamed like a school girl...Stan called him on it.... Not very nice but it was funny-- Defuser got stuck in the tubing at one point and in the end whip snap was sent home this week--Great recap and comments below that sums it up from After Elton-

On last night's Who Wants to Be a Superhero, gay hero Parthenon yet again managed to avoid the bottom three (which he has yet to find himself in, if I'm not mistaken) but did get a slap on the wrists for ... well, for screaming like a girl during the challenge. Considering how gay last week's episode was, it was a bit disappointing to see Stan Lee come down on Parthenon for his mid-challenge shriek, as it seemed like they were saying that he needed to butch up or ship out. But at this point it's so obvious that the gay hero's Dudley Do-Right image is a tough nut for the competition to crack, and that the show is having a hard time finding anything about him to criticize.
Case in point: the "secrets from the heroes' past" segment, in which Doctor Black Party unearthed embarrassing information about the heroes to one another and to Stan Lee.
First up is Whip Snap, who apparently "borrowed" a friend's car (Stan says she stole it) and slept on the roof of a girl that she had a crush on. Okay, that's kind of embarrassing, yes. And a bit stalkery. But as much as we love Whip Snap for her tenacity, it's not like emotional stability has ever been her strong suit in this competition.
Hygena, meanwhile, harbors the secret wish to take burlesque dancing classes. Considering they teach pole dancing at my local gym and it's flocked to by all sorts of women, I don't see this as being any kind of terrible secret. Although I do love when Doctor Black Party holds up a feather boa as a clue to her secret and Hygena looks at it quizzically for a moment before guessing "...College?"
Hyper-Strike, meanwhile, got fired from a circus because he couldn't do a hands-free kip off of a gym floor during a performance. The best part about this is that it's communicated via a video of his circus pals pantomiming the event, which serves as a good reminder that, unlike the other heroes, Hyper's home life is actually less normal than running around in tights in a loft with a bunch of glitter-covered strangers.
We come to Parthenon and I actually get a little worried. First off, Doctor Black Party calls him "Fancy Pants," which is a bit odd considering all the men are wearing Spandex leggings. We see a video of Parthenon's partner at the gates of his house, and he notes that every room in the house has its own theme. Oh dear ... are we going to see Parthenon's dungeon? Or his Precious Moments room? This could get ugly.… continue reading

Oregon News
Know Thy Neighbor Assistance

Oregon Rocks and I love having them as a neighbor--its like Seattle USED to be. Not as crowded or expensive-- YET....Its still a good secret....Found this news as reported by Towleroad and I love it...

Activist group Know Thy Neighbor plans to add Oregon to the list of states in which it's taking action. The group publishes names of those signing petitions that overturn gay rights bills passed in the state earlier this year, according to the Statesman Journal:

A coalition of conservative Christians is circulating petitions to put the two measures before voters in the November 2008 election. That would enable Oregon voters to decide whether to grant marriage-style rights to same-sex couples via domestic partnerships, and whether to ban discrimination against gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgendered people. Know Thy Neighbor pledged to launch a new Web site that will list the petition signers' names and addresses."

Know Thy Neighbor has already published names of those signing anti-gay legislation petitions in both Massachusetts and Florida.

Bette Midler-
Tree Killer or Compost Queen?


I enjoy Bette Midler but I have to poke fun at this news....It might be in bad light but at least it promotes her upcoming Las Vegas gig......

LIHUE, Hawaii - Bette Midler cut down more than 230 trees around one of her properties on the island of Kauai without a permit, and the state has recommended she be fined.

The staff of the Board of Land and Natural Resources recommended $6,500 in fines for having the trees felled and for building a graded road without permits required for the land zoned for conservation use.
The singer and actress will pay the fines and will follow a replanting program, her attorney Max W. J. Graham said.
The actress and movie star, who was born in Honolulu, didn't realize permits were needed to remove the trees on a vacant 58,000-square-foot parcel of land on Kauai's North Shore, Graham said.
"The whole idea with cutting the trees down was with the idea of improving the lot with native species" instead of the nonnative, invasive species that had grown there, Graham said. "It's unfortunate that a mistake was made."
The National Tropical Botanical Garden, which maintains three gardens on Kauai, will design a replanting plan that consists of appropriate native plants, Graham said.
A botanist hired by Midler after the fact said 120 Java plum trees, 100 octopus trees and 10 to 20 Madagascar olive trees that were cut down were all nonnative species. Some native trees also were removed from the property, the botanist said.
Midler, known for her longtime commitment to the environment, was once known as the Compost Queen and appeared on billboards in Los Angeles advocating green recycling containers are for yard trimmings.
Midler is set to replace Celine Dion as a headline performer at Las Vegas's renovated Caesars Palace next year.

Guilty Pleasure
Big Love on HBO

Another guilty pleasure on TV- So I would share Bill Paxton- no problemo.....Hes a hottie...show is now on Season 2...Just renewed for season 3..It sorta reminds me of what we gays call an open relationship or a relationship that has 3 members....Kick ass actors and actresses too!! Do check it out! You will be hooked!

As if juggling three wives weren't tricky enough, Season Two of Emmy®- and Golden Globe®-nominated 'Big Love' finds modern polygamist Bill Henrickson (Bill Paxton) tackling problems outside his three-house suburban home. As a failed expansion and a suspicious employee entangle his work at Henrickson Home Plus, Bill races to find the person responsible for outing his wife Barb (Jeanne Tripplehorn) as a polygamist at Utah's Mother of the Year ceremony. Meanwhile, back at the fundamentalist Juniper Hill compound, prophet Roman Grant (Harry Dean Stanton) sets his sights on Bill's brother Joey (Shawn Doyle) as leverage to regain a share of the family business. Throw a pregnant Margene (Ginnifer Goodwin) and an overcompensating Nicki (Chloe Sevigny) into the mix, and Bill won't be getting much sleep at any of his houses. Bold, funny and wholly original, Big Love continues to explore the evolving institution of marriage through this typically atypical family.

Big Love is an HBO television drama about a Utah Fundamentalist Mormon family that practices plural marriage, a type of polygamy that is no longer officially endorsed by the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Big Love stars Bill Paxton, Chloë Sevigny, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Ginnifer Goodwin and Harry Dean Stanton.
