Warning... this is an adult site. If reading or viewing things about what gay men do sexually with one another bothers you - you should not read this blog. This blog is a reflection of my adventures and thoughts. Some are fun, some not so pretty. I won't name names, or kiss and tell... but I will live to tell. And baby, trust me - I am gonna spill it all over your pretty little party dress. Enjoy!
Oh, the horrors committed in the name of arts and crafts.
For me? Someone inviting me into their crafting room is the equivalent of inviting a boy scout into a sex dungeon.
Eeeek!
With the Thanksgiving Holiday soon upon us like a social vampire, I thought we could take a brief look at this journey into the insane... featuring the stuff of nightmares - and, perhaps something to sit in the center of the table at your upcoming family gathering.
Now, I'm sure... well, pretty sure... their parents meant well, but clearly, all the children pictured are going to require future time on an analyst's couch.
Arts and crafts...
It's not a crime.
But it should be.
Come to think of it...
I think there are statutes on the books limiting the amount of tin foil one can torture!
Now that November is here and our thoughts turn to indoor activities, what better time to consider taking up a hobby?
For those of you in need of suggestions, I've gathered a few here.
Be forewarned: this is not for the weak of heart.
And sadly, there's nothing here as fascinating as those video's our dear friend Jimmy used to post of that gentlemen who is obsessed with making homemade dildoes and butt plugs in his wood shop...
But, take a gander... I'm sure you'll find something that pops your cork.
Here's to keeping those idle hands busy.
Mine are currently occupied, holding aloft my martini glass.
Well... everyone needs a hobby, darling!

Remember pantyhose? Remember when it was a mandatory item in many a company's HR employee handbook under the appropriate dress for work guidelines?
This is a classic. And so very clever.
Now, I'm all for recycling... but, please? Do rinse well before getting started.
Create a family. One that will never leave you.
Just imagine... if someone had given Jeffrey Dahmer this book in his teens, all those poor boys would still be with us.
Though this does bring up something to keep in mind; when selecting a hobby: do think of those who will have to deal with your 'things' once you pass from this mortal coil.
More pantyhose fun.
Hmm. They left out the word 'terrifying'.
That center one is a nightmare waiting to happen.
Missing the Queen Mum?
Well... now she can live in your home forever.
Punch? Really? Huh. I suppose.
I mean, if someone handed me one of these as a gift, some type of response would be warranted.
Now, you needn't limit your materials to those manmade.
Turn to nature.
She's used to creating abominations.
There's a woman in my neighborhood who does this and decorates her front yard with them.
They're nice, though I doubt she'll ever have her own retrospect at The Walker Art Center. But... then again?
If you're looking for something you can do with your pet, here's an idea.
Of course, it will help if you have a cat.
For those of you who feel the need to take pet ownership very, very seriously.
Another means of recycling. A great use for those plastic bleach bottles!
Decorate your entire abode, and be the envy of your friends!
(Ha! What friends?)
For those of you who like to go the organic route.
Oddly enough, this is not the only use for corncobs that junior came up with.
Yet another creative repurposing.
Safety pin manufacturers love this book.
Why be content with making art when you can create things that can become part of your everyday life?
Just go to the store and buy a bunch of duct tape. That way, you won't have to go to the store to buy something like, oh, say... a wallet.
I'm not sure if the fashion world is ready for these next few suggestions.
But a mini-skirt made of duct tape? Worthy of a RuPaul's Drag Race challenge!
Not as P.C. as it once was, I'm afraid.
But, at least this way one is certain to accessorize appropriately while transitioning.
Because going to a store or ordering on-line is sooooo much work!

Turdscooter of the Week: WND’s Joseph Farah
Next
they’ll be claiming it’s a genetic predisposition.
In a
bit of logic that, as my boyfriend puts it, is “like building a sofa out of Twinkies
because you want to go driving”, editor-in-chief of the Christian conservative
website WorldNetDaily , Joseph Farah, wants
the government to recognize his opposition to marriage equality as a sexual orientation.
He
believes that, as such, his homophobia should be protected under the same laws
that currently protect the GLBT community.
After
claiming that people opposed to gay marriage “are being coerced by the state to
take part in the sexual choices and activities of others,” he then goes on to
compare gay rights activists to radical Islamists.
Hmmm.
There
seems to be a big wave of this kind of hyperbolic fear pandering making the
news these days. Pundits are declaring
it “Armagaydon”; that God will punish America using Islamic militants, and that
the acceptance of gays will lead to the beheading of Christians – by the gays!
Even
NOM appears to be throwing in the towel regarding gay marriage – but it’s all
public relations, a matter of calculated spin.
This latest
round of nonsense is the Christian Right’s means of a call to arms. Their rhetoric has to become more inflammatory, their situation more dire, in order to keep the fires of hate lit and the money coming in.
It won’t
work.
It will
backfire on them.
For, as
the holes in their logic become so incredibly wide that only the most dimwitted
among us (and, yes, that will account for an awful lot of Americans) will fail
to recognize exactly how desperate and idiotic these leaders have become, they will
only come off looking more foolish than they already have been.
Still…
This is
an ugly little chapter in the death of homophobia, when ridiculous lies and
illogical statements are the only weapons hatemongers have left at their
disposal.
And in
the end, it’s all about money – which is what it has always been about. Their livelihoods and positions of power are
dependent upon the funds their hate and fear campaigns can rake in. They’re getting desperate. They still have books to sell.
Their losing their
cash cow.
What’s
a hatemonger to do once their portion of the market dries up and nobody wants
to book them on 'Meet the Press' or the Fox News channel? What’s to happen to them once their opinions
mean squat and the world stops listening?
Abortion
rights? Oh, that field is pretty well
filled. Immigration? Nope.
That seems to be on the decline, too.
Oh,
what’s a hate-filled, misguided, illogical, taste-challenged, simple-minded,
hypocritical Christian to do?
Well…
I guess
they could always get a job at Hobby Lobby.
