looks like my favorite singer/songwriter, namoli brennet, got a great review in the december issue of red magazine. click the image for a scan of the article, or the link to download the issue with the review.

it’s a multi-pump pneumatic air rifle repeater that shoots BBs or .177 pellets, made by crosman, and you can buy it at pyramyd air gun mall for a mere $39.83. plus shipping and ammo, of course. and it’s pink.

just don’t put someone’s eye out

edit: i just ordered one - it should arrive within 7 - 10 days. pictures to follow.

according to kgw.com:

David French, 48, was charged with murder in the bludgeoning death of 51-year-old Frank Johnson last May. French jumped out of a third-story window in high heels when police forced their way inside the home he shared with Johnson.

Investigators found Johnson’s body inside but they were not able to catch French.

it’s amazing to me that anyone could jump out of a third-story window in high heels. but to also out-run police? that’s the height of fashion. or something.

want to call someone the ultimate insult? accuse them of being transsexual. obviously, there’s nothing worse.

joni mitchell recently said “in order to be optimistic, you have to be irrational”. i can live with that.

“no one has the “right” to sin”, claims john stec, an engineer who lives and works in the covington, virginia area, who wrote his opinion in a local roanoke newspaper in response to the paper’s support of the enda bill.

You craftily did not fully explain what “equality” means in your editorial defending this bill and its natural trajectory (employer-covered health benefits for their partners). If your “equality” means equating the ages-old institution of traditional marriage with two men doing disgusting, highly unsanitary things, then I couldn’t disagree with you more. But if you meant giving homosexuals similar employment opportunities as heterosexuals, then that’s OK, as long as they keep their physical affectations to themselves, just as heterosexuals must, in the workplace.

“age-old” institution? marriage changes by the decade. “two men doing disgusting, highly unsanitary things”? what about a het couple doing disgusting, highly unsanitary things. or a lesbian couple doing disgusting, highly unsanitary things. or a single man doing disgusting, highly unsanitary things.

“as long as they keep their physical affectations to themselves, just as heterosexuals must, in the workplace.” oh? het couples don’t splatter their pictures all over their desks? kiss when one visits the other in the office? arm in arm as they walk out of the office?

grasping at straws to cover up ones hatred of their neighbor - sounds like a sin to me.

a recent review of my statcounter keyword analysis reveals that “shemale” type searches have topped the “pink gun” type searches, despite my two recent posts on crossroads of the west and the charter arms pink bitch hand gun. it strikes me as interesting that despite the homophobic and transphobic comments that are often perpetuated on the internet and irl, men in large numbers are seeking “shemales” and our ilk. much like the ongoing republican outings.

today, the top search to hit my site is the ubiquitous and unadorned “shemale”, singular and to the point. many enhancements follow up however, and prompt one to ponder further who the perpetrators of these searches actually are.

• why do men like shemales
• why do guys like shemales
• why do i like shemales
• why do some people like shemales
• why do men look at shemales
• why do men love shemales
• why god created shemales
• what would you look like if you were a shemale
• would you have sex with a tranny
• men who like shemales
• my favorite shemale
• pictures of post op shemales
• i like shemales
• why do men become shemales
• females attracted to shemales
• why would someone cut off their own penis
• find shemale people
• describing first sexual encounter with a shemale
• steps to being a shemale

and that’s only a small sample. there are many searches for shemales in specific locations, phoenix included, and a variety of ethnic and religion specific shemales, such as “jewish”, “african american”, “latino”, and others. there’s also many searches that focus on operative status, such as “pre-op” and “post-op”, some specifically looking for pictures, some looking for behaviors, such as “shemales in drag” (huh?), and “shemales who stand up to pee”.

i have to wonder if these same people who denounce all things lgbt are the same people searching for shemales on the internet, in darkened rooms, late at night.

calpernia and andrea comment on comments regarding transamerican love story.

one of these is not like the other, according to tmz.com.

apparently, over 75% of the respondents couldn’t tell, at least as of this writing. i guess that exposes the common myth that all men are different than all women, that men and women are mutually exclusive groups, that everyone can tell the difference at any time, and that it actually matters. geez, next thing you know, people won’t be able to tell the difference, and the patriarchy won’t know who to oppress. and people may start to love each other based on, well, who they are, instead of “what” they are.

hey, i can dream, can’t i? 

and speaking of statistics, if you put a bunch of monkeys in a room, and asked them to randomly choose one, you’d get the same results, each choice getting 25% of the total. which is further evidence that humans evolved from monkeys. or something.

Things are heating up for Sir Paul McCartney and his new flame Rosanna Arquette, according to Arquette’s sibling.

Alexis Arquette, Rosanna’s transsexual sister, told People magazine at a recent AIDS charity event in LA that the ageing rocker and television actress “are spending more time together”, and have a common bond — music.

who’d have thunk.
