I have a lot of physicists in my family and everyone of them LOVE Bevis and Butthead. They think it would be at the top of the list. LOL I have met many a people to love them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFQZmCuhiP8

For me, it would be: 1. Dexter 2. The Sopranos 3. Breaking Bad 4. Weeds 5. Game of Thrones 6. Boston Legal 7. The Good Wife 8. Oz 9. The Golden Girls 10. Bevis and Butthead

It if funny you say that. I was just asked that for one of my long term clients. How the fuck does this work?

Fantastic singer. Thanks for sharing this.

I have been wishy washy for years on this to be honest. Like you, I don't think it furthers acceptance from the breeders. But, I do think it fosters relationships inside the community. Likewise, the Rentboy float that for years was in NYC Pride Parade was not going to foster anything positive for the community but I still felt they had a right to be there. However, I don't like groups like NAMBLA participating and think they should be banned.

LOL It is about all those things and more. My friends who are drag queens have just as much right as anyone else to go and be seen and party. I also love the Dykes on Bikes and the nudity and freakish costumes. But, I believe that the more boundaries are pushed, the more accepted we all will be. I marched beside Hillary one year (not her guest but just close) and loved it. Issues are important but it is also about EVERYONE having their place to say and express what they want.

It is necessary for so many reasons. Today, we are in a very different atmosphere than we were 20 years ago. The parade was to put our issues out front and in the eye of the world at least one day per year. I see them as not only fun but necessary!

What Not To Do At Pride It's that special time of year again when gay pride parades start happening! While pride is a wonderful thing and should be embraced, it should also be noted that there are some no-nos as well. At Boy Toy, we've attended some of the early pride marches and seen some things that just should not be. So, we figured we'd write today about the things you should avoid when it comes to having fun at gay pride. These are all things we've seen in person even the weirdest stuff and you can pass the info on to your fag hags and straight allies as well, because it's all good and everyone should behave - because how can you be proud if you are being ridiculous? First: Obviously straight girls trying to steal our thunder. Look, you are welcome, but don't turn up wearing a brightly colored wig and think that will make you fit in. There are actual gay girls there who don't need you turning heads. Beyond that, the bright wigs should be on the drag queens, not on people with vaginas. You can stand out and get noticed 364 days of the year. This is not your time. Speaking of which celebrating weird sexualities that are not gay is not appropriate. Gay pride is about being gay. It's not about being asexual, demisexual, aromantic, grey A, pansexual, or any other variant of that. Wearing shirts that declare you are a aromantic demisexual soulbinder is screaming, I'm not gay but am taking up space at your event. If you are proud of thinking you are The Joker and that you don't fuck your partner, make up your own fucking parade for that. You aren't gay, so don't show up and be a distraction. Also, don't wander around with a bottle of Jack Daniels and get drunk in the street during pride. Drink all you want in the bars after the parade. But remember, the parade is when people are seeing us - and do you really want gay culture to be represented by a bunch of nasty drunks? We can do better than that, so let's make an effort to stay sober until at least 7 p.m. Wearing fake cartoon villain mustaches have also become popular at pride events. Stop this shit right the fuck now. You are a homo, not a hipster, and hipsters suck, so don't make yourself look like one. It's not even original given that hundreds of dudes are doing it. Get over your damn self. Get to know your body and figure out what looks good on it. If you are a skinny 19-year-old twink, a belly shirt might look fine. But if you are a 55-year-old 350-pound hairy woman, belly shirts just make you look like sad. If you are going to do the drag queen thing, go all out. This means wearing heels and having a complete outfit. We saw a guy who didn't have his hair done, was wearing old dirty sneakers, no shirt and then had a tutu on. Complete your look! If you go halfway you just look odd, you don't look fabulous. Should you be a dude, don't get on a lesbian float. Should you be a girl, don't get on a gay male float. Keep to your own teams it's simply better that way! Nazi paraphrenalia is also a big bad. It might go OK in some of the more hardcore fetish bars, but in public it makes you look like a total douchebag. Do you really want to be associated with people who put us in gas chambers? Shirts reading Biohazard also suck. Enough straight people already think we are disease vectors. Don't give them ammunition. Plus, you are lowering your odds at getting laid down the line. Check the weather before you go out. If it's sunny, wear all the makeup you want. If it looks like it might rain, then wearing tons of white makeup to look like Marie Antoinette is going to make you look like shit when it starts to melt off you in the rain. Yes, we saw this happen last year. Cop outfits may seem sexy, but they can also be very triggering for many people. There are still a lot of gays who got gay bashed by cops over the years, so wearing a cop outfit can come off as hurtful. There, that doesn't seem so hard does it? Now go out and be your pride self!

We have made this every week now for a month and LOVE it. It is nutritious and delicious. We server it with BBQ chicken strips for a balance of protein. Ingredients 2 pounds root vegetables (use potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, parsnips, turnips, rutabagas, beets), peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces 1 medium onion, peeled and cut into 1/3-inch wedges 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil Salt to taste 1 head garlic, separated into cloves and peeled Chopped fresh herbs like rosemary, or balsamic vinegar (optional) Instructions 1. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place the root vegetables and onion in a roasting pan. 2. Toss the vegetables with the olive oil and salt to taste. Do not crowd the vegetables. 3. Roast the mixture for a total of 45-50 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. After 30 minutes, scatter the garlic cloves in with the vegetables. Continue stirring every 15 minutes until the vegetables are tender and evenly browned. 4. Before serving, add a sprinkling of fresh chopped herbs or balsamic vinegar, if you like for additional flavor. Food as Medicine All root vegetables contain healthful fiber and slow-digesting carbohydrates, but beets have some special properties. Unlike most other red vegetables, which have anthocyanins to thank for their distinctive color (think red cabbage), beets derive their hue from pigments called betalains, which range in color from red-violet to yellow. Betalains, in addition to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, trigger a family of enzymes that binds toxic substances in cells, neutralizing and allowing them to be excreted from the body. Garlic's health benefits, many of which come from its sulfur compounds, are widely documented. Some of these sulfur-containing molecules, polysulfides, are converted by red blood cells into hydrogen sulfide (H2S), which dilates the blood vessels, helping to regulate blood pressure.

this from Dr. Weil: Ingredients 1 cup sake (Japanese rice wine) 1/2 cup natural soy sauce or tamari 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger 2 cloves fresh garlic, pressed 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar 12-ounce salmon filet, cut in two 6-ounce pieces Instructions 1. Prepare the marinade by mixing the sake, soy sauce (a reduced-sodium variety if you prefer), ginger, garlic and brown sugar together in a small bowl. Reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade. 2. Rinse the salmon filets under cold water, place in a glass or ceramic dish and pour the marinade over it. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 3 hours, spooning the liquid over any exposed parts of the fish once or twice. 3. Prepare the grill or preheat the broiler to high heat. 4. Remove the fish from the marinade and place on foil on the grill or a broiler pan. Broil or grill until done, being careful not to overcook. 5. Pour reserved marinade over fish and serve at once.

When I read the title here, I just knew I would be seeing the Mark of the Beast on his hairline. Damn. It just brought so many memories of Damion from The Omen.

LOL Hitoallusa, are you saying that religion and witches are all in the same reality?

These signs really make me wonder if I should go back.

RA, sorry, it is not an article. It is my first hand account (from News, Live TV, etc) of the wedding. It was an assignment for an online course I am taking.

A Nice Day For A Gay Wedding On Wednesday, five days before a certain red wedding, the city of Monptellier planned on having the first gay wedding in France. While people wanted it to be a day of celebration, there were lots of concerns as well. The weekend before, tens of thousands of anti-gay marriage protestors had set cars on fire and smashed windows in Paris. What would happen when the first marriage actually took place? And so it was that Montpellier woke up Wednesday filled with affection for the grooms Bruno and Vincent, but also trepidation that things would go as badly as the various matrimonials in A Storm of Swords. In the morning, the newspapers all flashed the first photos of the soon to be newlyweds on the front pages and it was clear, if nothing else, that they were gorgeous. Yay! But there was good news and bad news in the papers as well. Out of security concerns, the wedding was moved from the Prefecture (town hall) in the center of town to the new Mayor's office outside of the historic center. On the other hand, the mayor announced that the ceremony would be broadcast on a Jumbotron outside her office and that there would be free beer, wine and sausage for anyone who cared to come by. Within hours, more than 4,000 people took the local (La Croix-designed) trams down to the site and started to drink and eat and get ready for the afternoon's festivities. But then things got scary again. Another group, led by Marine Le Pen, the scariest right wing politician in Europe, showed up to counterprotest. The goons, which is the only term that could be correctly applied to them, scared both local residents and the police force. Soon, it was announced that the Jumbotron and free wine and beer were to be canceled, and that there would just be an audio transmission of the ceremony to those gathered outside. Even more worrying, nearly 300 riot police were dispatched to the site in case Marine's goons got out of control. But then, a funny thing happened. Marine seemed to realize that she was not making her cause look good, and the goons started to disperse. Things started looking up and word reached the crowd that Bruno and Vincent had been whisked into the mayor's office through a back door. At this point the people gathered started to sing the French National Anthem, giving a sense that one was seeing a scene from Casablanca happen in person. Then, tension struck again. Several bomb threats were called in, and the mayor's office was evacuated. More riot police showed up with dogs. Thankfully, it was all a false alarm and soon the wedding party and invited guests were brought back into the mayor's office. At roughly five minutes before the wedding was supposed to begin, the loudspeaker announced what website people could go to see the wedding broadcast live, and people fired up their smart phones. Hearing the events from the loudspeaker while watching the visuals on portable electronic devices is probably the defining image of how life works in 2013, but it still created a sense of solidarity. Then, at 6:03 p.m., the grooms began to exchange their vows. At 6:12 they both said their I do's, Cole Porter's version of Love And Marriage blasted across the loudspeakers, and shouts of joy could be heard throughout the city. At the end of the day, the wedding happened the way it should have happened. The earth didn't explode. No riots happened. The goons went away in shame, and Bruno and Vincent went with their friends and family to a private location for their wedding reception. A nice day for a white wedding indeed! cc totallyoz 2013

Looks like they have decided to keep it and promote it more. This time, it costs 2M baht for the Card and 20,000 year year and it has a limit of 20 years. So, more money and less value. Thai logic!

The rate includes free Wifi and a room upgrade. Good deal IMHO. Also, you can get breakfast for 2 included for 105 per night.

I grew up in the South and had my fair share of Kentucky boys. Is that the same as Kentucky Beef?

Great deal for Courtyard Marriott in Bangkok which is right near all the malls. Only good for a few days. http://www.travelzoo.com/au/local-deals/Outside-Australia/Getaway/53530?utm_source=top20_au&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=au_top20_2013_22

I want to scan in a few thousand old negatives. Most are 110 and 35mm. I have not yet purchased a scanner to do this with. Has anyone else ever done this and if so, what device did you use? I am looking at this one right now: Plustek OpticFilm 8200 Ai 35mm Film Slide Scanner The problem is it is only for 35mm.

I have written extensively on other sites about Montpellier being one of my favorite cities in France and I call it the Gay San Francisco. Looks like they are hosting the first gay wedding. Montpellier, France (CNN) -- The French city of Montpellier will witness history Wednesday when its mayor officiates the nation's first same-sex wedding in front of hundreds of guests. Vincent Autin and Bruno Boileau will exchange vows at a ceremony in the southern city, watched by some 500 guests seated on brightly colored chairs. Autin, 40, is the head of the region's Lesbian and Gay Pride association -- and his wedding to Boileau, 30, marks a big step forward for same-sex equality, he says. "When French children are born into this world, they are born with the same rights as everyone else -- but from the moment you said you were a homosexual, society deprived you of some of those rights," Autin told CNN in the couple's only interview on their wedding day. "Today the French Republic has given these rights back to us, the ones they had taken away, and it has put an end to an institutional discrimination." While France has allowed civil partnerships for some years, controversial legislation allowing same-sex couples to marry and adopt was signed into law by President Francois Hollande 10 days ago. http://www.cnn.com/2013/05/29/world/europe/france-same-sex-wedding/index.html?hpt=hp_c2

I am sure some of you may remember what I have seen about Montpellier being the gay SF of France. It now will host the first gay marriage in France.

Great story sir. And, I agree with FH, you should write a book. It is interesting that you still see and speak of the Vietnam Boy. If I were a betting man, I'd bet we see him again in a future post after he leaves your room.
