MoPod Show 2.0 - Gay Comedy Podcast

We’re doing some catch up this week after Dangina dropped the ball and missed our recording session. Peasha insists that he was the REAL victim in all this…and for that we are really sorry. Peasha skipped going to the opera (Gilbert and Sullivan no less!) to go to the movies.

Ruphus considers adopting some new security measures for his next party…and it looks like Dangina and Peasha area going to have to bring their own security to get through.

Dangina got to meet up with some MoPod friends Mike and John and Zach in Austin at Oil Can Harry’s. Dangina had to enduring Zach’s gushing over Peasha and his writing…sigh. Just kidding. We had a good time reliving the “flapjack” episode of Queen Acres, the discovery of the “gerry pixie twink” and another “crofagnon”.

We also delve into the hanky codes (again…) and the trouble of bad lighting in gay bars and the misunderstanding that could ensue. Maybe there is a new business opportunity for the MoPod boys here?

Tune in for all this and some mo news faux news…

Salvation.

I love mr. Ben.

Just kidding.  Instead…I’d like to offer a mexican midget drag queen impersonating Sarah Palin.  Politics has gone to weird places I’d never imagined….and i kind of like it. Great use of the 9 to 5 soundtrack!

It’s not the dawning of the age of aquarius, but it is another MoPod show…and after a few moments of painful singing we get to the good stuff.  Ruphus, Peasha and Dangina reflect on the week, their impending financial ruin, the possibility that the federal government will bail out the MoPod T Shirt business and lots lots more.  

More bear pool parties

But how many can I save.

Del Martin moved in with her partner Phyllis Lyon on Valentines Day, 1953.  She never left her and fought and led by example to gain the right for legal recognition of their relationship.  55 years later, when the California Supreme Court approved same sex marriages, they were first in line to make their vows.  (See our earlier story from June 2008)

Del passed away today and leaves behind a legacy that she aptly described as:  “being able to help make changes in the way lesbians and gay men view themselves and how the larger society views lesbians and gay men.”

Thanks Del!  Rest in Peace.

As if China wasn’t a scary enough superpower, now word has leaked that they have developed cats with WINGS!  I’m not sure, but I’m guessing there are at least two possible applications for flying cats.  First: they could be used in factories to deliver parts or do assembly work.  Flying sweatshop kitties.  Tsk Tsk.  Second: they could be used for military strikes.  Imagine legions of flying cats climbing onto military planes like little furry gremlins.  And like so many cats they would make their way in …snuggle up…and then turn and scratch out the eyes of pilots and soldiers.

The cute little devils began sprouting bumps on their backs, which later turned into wing-like growths, during a recent spell of hot weather in China’s Sichuan province.

One cat owner said her kitty grew wings after becoming stressed during the recent mating season. She claimed her cat’s wings are a result of stress after he was ‘harassed’ by females looking to mate. However if that were really a cause, thousands of gay men would be walking around with wings.

A recent study at Tufts University examined the ability of both men and women to discern the sexual orientation of men by looking at their picture for a very short time (less than a second!).

It turns out that people accurately determined sexual orientation about 60% of the time.   I wonder what the pictures looked like exactly.  Were there color cues?  Feather boas?
