If you like Piña Coladas and getting caught in the rain, then this is the website for you

I’ve seen a billboard, and it is going to make some people a lot of money…including divorce lawyers. Others…well we’re all adults here aren’t we.

AshleyMadison.com

Their slogan? “Life’s short…have an affair”. The ad that launched a thousand orgasms…brilliant.

What ever could go wrong?

I was tired of my lady, we’d been together too long.
Like a worn-out recording, of a favorite song.
So while she lay there sleeping, I read the paper in bed.
And in the personals column, there was this letter I read:

“If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.

Just like the Rupert Holmes song:

So I waited with high hopes, then she walked in the place.
I knew her smile in an instant, I knew the curve of her face.
It was my own lovely lady, and she said, “Oh, it’s you.”
And we laughed for a moment, and I said, “I never knew”.

It will so totally go down just like that. Or…your marriage will continue along blissfully now that you’ve taken up “strange” once a week. It’s not for me to judge…just dig up these little jewels to set at the table…

so…for those that are considering it, the real question becomes how much is membership? Is it less than couples therapy? More than a prostitute? With over 3 million “like minded” members available and over 20 thousand local members online now, I can probably turn to the person next to me and ask how that affair is working our for them.

Yes, I like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
I’m not much into health food, I am into champagne.
I’ve got to meet you by tomorrow noon, and cut through all this red tape.
At a bar called O’Malley’s, where we’ll plan our escape.

Is There a Secret Gay Basketball League?

Craig’sPlace: Not that there’s anything wrong with it, but I think the new American Basketball Association, founded in 2000 and currently consisting of nearly 40 teams playing all over the world, is a closet gay baskteball league. Don’t believe me? Let’s look at some of the teams in this league:

The Youngstown Swish
The Charlotte Crossovers
The Alaska Dream
The Houston Takers
The South Texas Showboats
The Georgia GWizzlies
The Bahama All-Pro Show

And an honorable mention has to go to the Butte Bandits of the All American Professional Basketball League…

New Years Resolution: Loose weight or just get “virtual body”?

Kansas.com: Feeling a little down on yourself? Think a video game will lift your spirits?

Just don’t go for games that feature exceptionally muscular men or very thin women, or your self-esteem could take a hit, according to a psychology professor at Kansas State University.

Richard Harris said his research indicates a mere 15 minutes of viewing extreme body types in video games can negatively affect players’ feelings about their own bodies.

Harris and graduate student Christopher Barlett organized two study groups of university students.

The men played “WWF Wrestlemania 2000,” a professional wrestling game that included enormous muscular specimens such as the Rock and the Undertaker.

The second study group was made up of women who played a beach volleyball game.

Participants in the research were surveyed about their body image before playing the sports games and questioned after interacting with the games for 15 minutes.

Both male and female subjects viewed their own bodies more negatively after completing a cycle at the game control, Harris said. He said the immediacy of reaction by game players was disturbing because video games are such a powerful element of popular culture.

On the other hand…all the virtual ladies seemed to have performed well gainst the gents…

Intriguing cocaine bee research will hopefully lead to great honey products on the shelf

GuardianUK: They are highly social, adhere to a rigid class system and are intensely house-proud. And now it emerges that bees resemble human beings in one more, previously overlooked, respect: they behave just like us under the influence of cocaine.

Australian researchers found that bees which had been given a dose of cocaine threw themselves into unusually energetic dance routines, felt compelled to “talk” to their nest mates – and even went “cold turkey” when the drugs ran out.

The research, carried out at Macquarie University in Sydney, examined the behaviour of the bees after returning from a trip looking for food.

First, I’d like to shake the hand of the research team that wrote the grant proposal for this:

Dear Distinguished Scientific Money-lending Institution;

Please give money to buy cocaine…we’d like to test the effects of this drug on bees.

Thanks ever-so.

…and second, please tell me that someone is at this very moment packaging up the honey produced from these coke-addicted bees. Please tell me there is a publicity team, with a logo and a slogan and a marketing strategy.

All the expensive Epicurean retailers have lavender “fed” bees, clover “fed” bees, I want to see the “cocaine” fed bee honey on a Martha Stewart show pretty soon.

No more taxis to the toilet: It’s Philly’s time for a gay scandal

Edge: The men’s room at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport where Senator Larry E. Craig, Republican of Idaho, was arrested in a sex sting is losing its appeal as a tourist stop, officials say.

“We’re getting there,” said the official, Patrick Hogan, director of public affairs for the Metropolitan Airports Commission. “I think we’ll all be glad when there’s no special interest in that restroom.” One person had offered to buy the restroom stall for $5,000, Mr. Hogan said, but airport officials “don’t sell fixtures for novelty purposes.”

Though tourist interest has withered, the publicity from Mr. Craig’s arrest has helped to end the type of activity in the restroom that had prompted complaints of lewd conduct, he said.

Plans to modify the restroom to prevent occupants from passing signals were scrapped because complaints dropped.

“It is the busiest restroom at Minneapolis-St. Paul International,” Mr. Hogan told The Spokesman-Review of Spokane, Wash., in an article published Saturday. “It’s right in the middle of our main thoroughfare.”

Look what it did for the Governor of New Jersey?

Thirty-four days after I was elected governor of New Jersey, I began a secret affair with an aide named Golan Cipel. It destroyed my career, ruined my marriage, and helped me discover who I really am.

New Jersey has McGreevey…what will Philly do to step up to the plate? Face it-we need the tourism, so we could use the publicity.

Bad enough when the economy was flowing nicely…like an Irish pub draft…but everyone was coming to see the Liberty Bell then heading to Manhattan or Baltimore to spend the night. Now?…In this floundering economy, Philly is croaking for air.

Why not have a gay political scandal put us back on the map? Regular ole’ political scandal…dime a dozen…GAY political scandal…well in Washington, still dime a dozen, but here in Philly maybe worth a little more. Even Chicago is getting it’s 15 minutes of fame with-ah…no…not the president elect…but their governor.

I’ll the admit the only gayly obtuse remark about that thing is that he needs to update the hairdo-with or with out mob connections.

Speaking of tight knit groups that protect their fold, I don’t want any more priest scandals…just gay political scandals. Lets keep the animals and the children out of this…OK? But the one lesbian scandal I might entertain regards the Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary a.k.a “manor for retired priests” on a hill looking overlooking the hospital where my girlfriend works. I live close…close enough to sign up for a tee time and have Cardinal Anthony Bevilacqua watch out of his window as I practice “straightening” out my slice with a 3 wood. Spelling out something…I’m not sure what…in divots on the well manacured lawn.

…

There really are no well documented gay scandals to mention. I do know the gerbil and the TV anchor story, but that was so long ago, and I had gone inside to check on hors d’oeuvrs for my guests…so i didn’t see a thing, until the entourage left for the emergency room…yes…the one across from the Cardinal’s “house”.

But I digress…I think someone needs to step up and step directly into it. The limelight…for their 15 minutes of fame. Think about your city…think about it’s future.

Lesbian politicians? You’re wanting to crash through that glass ceiling? Well then-come out come out where ever you are. Show the nation what Philadelphia is capable of-bring this great city out of politics-as-usual and into the history books, and help all of us out of our post Holiday blues.
