Allow Me to be a Grammar Nazi for a Moment...

This ad caught my eye. I'm not sure if this is a complete accident, or maybe it's referring to a brand called "Straight Men"..? Anyway, someone paid for this shit and I thought that was funny and I loves me some jockstraps myself.

wtf...

I’ve said it many times over the years and it bears repeating again as cable TV talking heads ask in bewilderment how all the red flags Hasan raised could have been ignored: Political correctness is the handmaiden of terror.

Happy Halloween!

Not surprisingly, this is one of my top three favorite horror movies. When I was thirteen years old, my friends were obsessed with this scene. For straight guys, they were fascinated by seeing a guy in an assless dog suit maybe giving another dude head. We watched this movie pretty frequently, and every time it got to that scene, they would rewind it and play it back over and over and try to figure out what the fuck is going on.

I think that's what's disturbing about it. There's definitely something sexual and queer, that almost falls into the trope of THE THING NOT NAMED. A lot of horror films involve playing with the boundaries of sexuality and gender possibly with genuine interest in pushing them, or maybe as a way of exploiting the fears and anxieties people have developed about their identities. It makes me wonder if any queer theorists have analyzed this scene...

Anyway, Happy Halloween!

My Key West Photo Album

Regular readers of this blog might be wondering why I still haven't done a post about my trip to the Island House gay resort in Key West two weeks ago. The reason is simple - I'm still too depressed about having had to leave...

If you've never heard of it, the Island House is an award winning, gay, clothing optional resort. Between the naked guys, the beautiful scenery, the pool, hot tubs, video rooms, and the free drinks at happy hour, it was the perfect place for a well-deserved vacation after spending my summer in a boring law office. The weather down there was amazing. It was in the 90s and sunny every day we were there. As if having to return was bad enough, it snowed in Connecticut the day after I returned.

I ended up not taking too many pictures for a few reasons. One was that I didn't want to invade people's privacy because everyone was naked and there was a lot of sex going on. But the bigger reason was that it's just hard to carry around a camera when you're not wearing much. So here are some pretty pictures I took from the commuter plane we took from Tampa as we landed at Key West:

Here's a nice view of the Atlantic:

This is Key Lime Pie:

This is the tackiest thing I took a picture of, though it's tame compared to certain straight parts of the island. I took this one for my mom (who thinks I went with straight college boys). It's Jimmy Buffett's Key West Margaritaville Store... I, personally, am not a fan of his.

This is the sluttiest picture I took. These are gogo boys from Bourbon St. Pub on Duval Street. While these particular boys were gay, a lot of the gogo boys I encountered were actually straight, which was more depressing than hot.

This is me at the southernmost point in the United States, wearing a lei that was thrown to me by a gay guy performing showtunes at a community theater/cabaret.

On one of the last days we were down there, we went to the Ernest Hemingway house, because I'm a writer and Hemingway was a big influence on me and we have a lot in common. We both have a similar realist style, we both come off as masculine but are secretly obsessed with gender and power and are kind of feminist, we both sleep with men...

This is one of many cute six-toed cats, descended from Hemingway's cats, who live at the house and are trained to claw at the tour guide's pants for treats.

And here's one last shot of White Street outside the Island House in the evening.

Of course it's gonna be the stuff that I didn't get on camera that I'll probably remember the most from this trip...

Rachel Maddow and Tim Phillips

In case anyone who reads this blog doesn't know, I have a huge crush on Rachel Maddow and these clips from tonight's show should demonstrate why. Rachel had the president of Americans for Prosperity on and tore into him pretty harshly. The both clips are great, but if you wanna get right to the really intense stuff you can skip to part two.
