Olivia, the entertainment and tourism company owned by women which focuses on serving the lesbian community, is moving into the housing development business. The company is planning a new development of resort-style housing in Tuscon, Arizona.  The development looks really cool, but has an interesting aspect to it.  It seems to be laid out in the shape of a penis.  Maybe its just me.  Maybe I just see penises everywhere, but really…it kind of looks like a penis.

But don’t think about the penis (yeah right…).  Instead, go ahead and take a look at what luxurious lesbian living looks like.

Our focus on sports this week is really starting to make me feel super butch.  I may go visit a sporting goods store later today to pick up a new jock or something.  Of course, I’ll make sure that I buy a good one that really fits so that I don’t have the same problem that the University of Southern California football team is having this week.

According to a report in the Los Angeles Times, as much as 25% of the team has been affected by a run of tinea cruris, known more colloquially as “jock itch.” Head coach Pete Carroll told the Times he’d never seen anything like the current outbreak and pointed a finger at new compression shorts the team has been wearing underneath their football pants.

“We’ve had to adjust to some new equipment that we’re wearing that didn’t work out right,” Carroll said. “It’s funny how that happened.” You’ll forgive tailback Joe McKnight and wide receiver Travon Patterson if they aren’t laughing. Both were unable to practice Wednesday because of the severity of the irritation.

“It burns,” Patterson said. “Sometimes they can’t walk,” said tailback Stafon Johnson. “I don’t know what it is, but I’m staying away from it.”

Need a reason to stay away from fast food?  Well, the next time you find yourself putting the turn signal on to pull into a Burger King, just visualize this.

Burger King Corp. said Tuesday it has parted ways with an employee who was recorded taking a soapy bath in the restaurant’s utility sink in a Xenia, Ohio Burger King. The nearly four-minute video, which was posted Thursday on MySpace.com, shows the unidentified employee taking the bath to celebrate his birthday.

The worker, who refers to himself as “Mr. Unstable,” appears to be naked.

Burger King spokeswoman Denise Wilson said two employees involved in the incident were fired and another quit. She declined to identify the employees or say whether the man who took the bath quit or was fired.

Recently there have been a couple of interesting items in the news regarding wrestlers. Not professional wrestlers, but high school and college wrestlers. These hyper-masculine sports have been “rocked” by news that some of their own have posed for gay porn (NSFW: exhibit 1 and exhibit 2) (and by most accounts have done a particularly good job of it). And now we received news about another wrestler who allegedly exposed and placed his genitals in a pinned wrestler’s mouth.

A colleague and I were talking about the first incident involving college wrestlers posing nude and doing solo masturbation video scenes for the web. At first she seemed really surprised that these guys would do something like that. Aside from the questionable judgment, I assured her that posing nude was not even close to the gayest thing they had ever done. I reminded her that wrestlers obsess about their weight, wear ridiculously tight clothing, and explore each other’s nooks and crannies while rolling around together all hot and sweaty.

As far as the second incident goes, it sounds like someone has some psycho-sexual and emotional issues to work out. If the allegations are true, it was highly inappropriate for a high school wrestling practice. Now in a few years if he wants to re-enact that scene at say IML, I’m sure he’ll find some willing takers.

Spain’s Olympic basketball team posed for an advertisement prior to the Games which appears to show all its players slanting their eyes, a move that could offend its Olympic hosts in Beijing. The ads, for a Spanish courier company, appeared in the Spanish-language newspaper La Marca.

As the uproar over the picture has grown today, more information about the advertising shot has come to light. The New York Times reports that Spain’s basketball team is sponsored by Li-Ning Footwear, a Chinese company founded by Li Ning, the final torchbearer who was hoisted along the top of Beijing National Stadium during the Olympic Opening Ceremony finale. The ad reportedly references that the Li-Ning Advertising representative asked the team to slant their eyes to appear more ‘Chinese’.

It’s baffling that nobody involved in the picture production from the Chinese firm considered that this ad would be looked at negatively. The team drew the line on endorsing the caption that was to be attached to the pic.

“Ching, Ching, Chinaman, sitting on a rail. Along comes a white man and cuts off his tail.”

Interestingly, the Spanish basketball team took on China tonight, winning 85-75 in overtime.

When Willow Cathiter and I go to the gym we sometimes pop into the sauna to 1: relax potentially sore muscles 2: mentally will fat deposits to melt  and 3: to ogle at the occassional hottie.  If we were super heros in a sauna comic our nemisis would be “Yellow Crocs” a particularly gross troll who stalks and preys on innocent international students who don’t have a great command of the culture or the language.  He’s pretty icky AND wears yellow crocs, which we think might be some kind of fetish reference, but we’ll have to defer that question to any experts out there.    What is interesting about Yellow Crocs is that his workout last all of 3 minutes and his sauna experience lasts for an hour.  We always assumed he was just in cruise mode, but perhaps there is another explanation.

Maybe he was preparing for the International Sauna Championships?

Finland held onto its reign in 2008 Sauna World Championships by sitting in a piping hot sauna for longer than competitors from Belarus and Belgium.  Bjarne Hermansson who won the male championship stayed in a sauna heated to 110 decrees Celsius (230 Fahrenheit) for 18 minutes and 15 seconds.

“It feels wonderful, it is a dream come true,” said Hermansson, his red hot skin covered with sweat.

Hermansson, who has attended the competition every year, said he had trained for it by going to a really hot sauna for more than 30 years.  But he admitted reaching his dream had not been easy. “It was slightly more pain than pleasure,” he said.

Remember the story of the princess and the pea? To test the “princessness” of his daughter, the king sets up a stack of mattresses on which she is to sleep. However, there is a twist - he places a pea between two of the mattresses. If she is a TRUE princess, she’ll notice the pea and won’t be able to sleep.

I’m sure some of YOU princesses princes out there can relate in a way. Maybe you had something hidden between your mattresses as you grew up. Although for most, there were some differences between our experience and the princess. She didn’t know it was there. We did. The object PREVENTED her from sleeping. The object HELPED us to sleep and dream. I speak, of course, of dirty magazines. Where I lived the only thing you could get your hands on (and it was no small feat!) was Playgirl Magazine. Page upon page of beautifully airbrushed stallions fueling fantasies and developing twisted notions of what real men look like.

Now, that is all ending. Playgirl magazine, in a move that signals another shift to digital, is shutting down print production and moving their whole operation online.

The revamped Playgirl.com website will feature more videos and pictorials and less editorial content, according to Nicole Caldwell, the magazine’s editor-in-chief.

“Playgirl is going all-Web,” Caldwell said in an email to MediaBistro.com. “The last print issue will be the Jan/Feb 2009 magazine, which comes out Nov. 18.” Playgirl Magazine debuted as the women’s alternative to soft-porn men’s magazines in 1973. Although originally designed with the feminist in mind, the magazine quickly grew a gay male fan base as well.

Just remember. Shoving a laptop between two mattresses could damage it.

I think its great when people want to turn around their lives. You make a mistake and then try to turn in a different direction to set things right. You get a speeding ticket, so you make an effort to slow down. You hurt someone’s feelings, so you go out and do something more thoughtful for them. You steal, so you give back. You murder a friend over a soccer game, so you go play guitar hero in Walmart… wait….what?!

Police say Raymundo Castaneda fatally stabbed his friend during an argument over a soccer game just before Christmas. They’ve been looking for him ever since. A tip came in to Crime Stoppers on Wednesday, and Charlotte’s Violent Criminal Apprehension Team tracked him to Jacksonville, Fla. That’s where U.S. Marshals arrested him, playing “Guitar Hero” in a Wal-Mart.

“I think he was probably relaxed and thought maybe we’d stopped looking for him or didn’t think we’d ever look for him down there,” said VCAT Officer Tim Slater. Charlotte homicide detectives are in Florida interviewing Castaneda. He’ll go before a judge Friday morning and then likely be extradited back here in the next few days.

This was a bad day for everyone involved.  It appears as though a 74 man was lounging on a nude beach on Sand Island near “Rooster Rock” near Portland, Oregon.  I imagine he was out there stretching his wrinkles trying to evenly tan every nook and cranny when a man, his two kids and two chihuahuas happened upon the beach.  They, of course, didn’t seem to know it was a nude beach.

Well, it seems that that the two dogs must have mistook the man, Donald Kenney, for a leathery rawhide chew.  They ran up to him barking. Then all hell broke loose.  Mr. Kenny in a fit of naked anger began whacking at the chihuahuas with some type of retrackable baton.   (I can’t make shit this twisted up!) Then as the owner of the dogs ran to their rescue Kenney turned his vengence on him - this time with a can of mace. Check out the full story for more details.

Gay focused retirement facilities are pooping, oops I mean popping up all over the world! The latest is in Berlin and is Europe’s first gay nursing home. The Story can be found here.

This is as Queen Acres as it gets!

I wonder what high jinks and rowdy activities these horny old birds are going to get themselves into. The brand new facility in Germany, is four-stories tall and can house 28 elderly homos, I hear each room comes with it’s own glory hole. I think DanGina (The oldest member of MoPod Show) is already looking into reserving a room for his twilight years.

If Germany is too far away - I found, after a quick google, the RainbowVision Properties in Santa Fe New Mexico, “where seniors enjoy outdoor and indoor activities with other gay seniors.”

FACT: 20% of Gay-Grandpa’s have no one to take care of them vs. only 2% of their hetero counterparts. 

FACT: 2/3 of gay seniors live alone vs. 1/3 of heterosexual seniors. 

A perfect example is this old bastard pictured here on the right. Who’s caring for him and what kind of dementia does it take to walk out of the house wearing - whatever that is???

All this talk about declining years has me wondering… If I don’t get myself killed in a dirty back room some place, where will I end up? Who is going to care for Peasha while he’s curled up on his death bed, drinking his liver into failure, a few years from now? Who would put up with DanGina if he wasn’t paying them off with his patented, really, really good (TM) hand jobs? 

Santa Fe here we come!
