This weekend Fred Phelps is coming to town. Who is he? He is a crazy preacher from Kansas who is on a crusade to stop homosexuality. He does this by organising pickets of supposedly gay promoting events. For instance, his gang of nutters picketted the funeral of Matt Sheppard, a gay who was beaten to death by a couple of trailer-trash idiots in Laramie, Wyoming a couple of years ago. His people wave banners saying the likes of: 'God hates Fags' and 'Thank God for Aids'. He runs a website called godhatesfags.com. What puzzles me about his methods is the fact that he brings more publicity to the events he wants to stop than they would have otherwise had!
On Thursday evening, Robin and I went to see a play about the death of Matt Sheppard entitled 'The Laramie Project'. Whilst not the happiest way to spend an evening, the play was very well done and worth seeing. We would never have known a thing about it had it not been for the publicity surrounding Fred's visit to town to picket it. One has to wonder if Mr Phelps and his idiot supporters are actually funded by some gay liberation movement to provide publicity! If so, I take my hat off to the mastermind behind this piece of lateral thinking, but will continue to keep my back against the wall!

Television
The TV in this country continues to amaze me. Not the poor quality and multiple repeats that one soon becomes used to but some of the programs that can be found. For instance, the other night, on going to bed, I found Robin watching the start of a show that she thought lokked interesting and that I might like as it was of British origin. It was Ali-G! You coulda knocked me dahn wiv a fevver! It was on HBO. We have BBC-America on the cable so nothing there is a surprise but the other stations keep catching me unawares. TechTV shows both Thunderbirds and Max Headroom. Comedy Central shows Trigger Happy TV. Ab' Fab' can be seen on a number of channels. I am sure that there is much more British TV out there waiting to be found. Whilst it is great to have the Beeb here, they show a ridiculous number of repeats and the Ads could do with being of better quality!
A show, of Canadian origin, that is a must is The Sunday Sex Show. In this feat of tele-visual entertainment, a little old lady discusses the merits of various dildos, positions, techniques etc. whilst taking live calls from a succession of wierd people. She manages to keep a straight face nearly all the time but looks like ones favourite Granny!
One time, a gay guy called, wanting to know if he could protect himself with a female condom inserted into his tradesman's entrance before going out to party with the fellows! She thought it could be a good idea but had misgivings with respect to how it would be installed. I laughed till it hurt with the image in my mind of him farting and blowing up a big latex balloon! First you would have the Rasberry sound, followed by a Whooshing as it inflated followed by the bang as it blows up in his trowsers, bursting due to the lack of space! I hope this catches on in Gay circles because the resulting displays could take all our minds off of more serious matters.

Beer - Woohoo! The only true alternative to water. It is a shame that it isn't any good for bathing and doing dishes etc.
Harder stuff - Yum! Vodka, Whiskey etc. make for a nice addition to ones beer drinking sessions. Last night however, we found a problem with doing shots of Jim Beam! Me and Tom were doing shots with Rosie to celebrate her promotion. The problem was that she is down in Baltimore and we are basking in the Wisconsin Winter, meaning that a telephone had to be used. We managed quite well but found it hard to ching the glasses together loud enough for her to hear without spilling the precious contents.
My question is: Does anybody make special shot glasses for long-distance drinking so that ones toasting could be more easily synchronised by telephone?
