How we keep secrets on the Feast of Fools.The podcast that serves up lean cuts of hilariousness- the Gay Fun Show known as Feast of Fools!

Amanda and Marc have taken a day-long vow of silence to show their solidarity for queer teenagers everywhere. Don’t get too upset because on this gay podcast, a vow of silence doesn’t last too long.

As much as we cheer and applaud the efforts of these brave people to bring visibility to GLBT teens, we can’t help to see the irony in the fact that they are “speaking up” by “shutting up.” Nevertheless, they had their highest participation in the history of the event, with over 5,000 schools around the country participating.

We have some really great fashion news today such as the Titanic watches that are made from authentic black-market pieces of the titanic’s salvaged hull starting at $7,800 and top out at $173,000. Our t-shirts are fabulous, and they only cost $40!

Meanwhile, back in the Enchanted Kingdom, where gays and lesbians can get commitment ceremonies (not legal but in name only) they can now get a fabulous Disney inspired wedding gown to frock on that magical day. I just know some gay couple is going to dress up in a loud yellow Belle dress (from Beauty and the Beast) and walk down the aisle looking fabulous. Meanwhile the lesbians can doll themselves up as the Beast and dissapear into the crowd of character actors.

  • Oy Vey Amanda! You are so charming, every word that comes out of your mouth is like happy ponies with pink wings covered in fat free cake frosting!!!
    Marc, Fausto, Amanda, Miss Ronnie, Sal-E you guys are amazing. You fit so well together!

    Okay, you get a bit upset everytime I ask about someone, but when is Marsian coming back?

  • I did the Day of Silence yesterday, and I thought it was kind of cathartic, not speaking for 12 hours.

    My former roommate was a blue-eyed Jew. She was a bitch though, so that’s a different story.

  • Amanda did a good job of explaining why bee’s wax isn’t vegan, but just to back here up:

    I found a very good link that explains exactly why honey and bee’s wax aren’t vegan. It’s a very interesting read but it boils down to bees are animals, vegans don’t eat animals or animal secretions or products.

  • What’s with the comments people? I know the new site is a bit of a maze, but c’mon!

    Or I will have to write more louzy jokes in my comments…

  • Crematationer? Crematorianator? Heehee. I love those :)
    I think the device is just called an incinerator.

  • Couple of comments:

    The group of actors portraying the U.S.S. Enterprise bridge crew (TOS era) is actually the cast of another fanfilm, “Star Trek: New Voyages.” This fanfilm is supposed to be set in the final two years of the original five-year mission, and gives us all a sense of what might have been. This series has had Walter Koenig reprising his role as Chekhov, and soon will have George Takei reprising his role as Sulu. It’s a great production, and I invite all Star Trek fans to check it out at http://www.newvoyages.com.

    I agree that James Cawley (Captain Kirk) is handsome. I also agree that Spock looks a bit like a drag queen.

    On the subject of garden apartments, we have them here in Michigan as well. I nearly lived in one when I lived in Saginaw Township.

  • The Enterprise bridge crew featured in “Starship Farragut” is part of the cast of “Star Trek: New Voyages,” a fanfilm dedicated to telling some of the stories of the “lost” two years of the original five-year mission. This fanfilm can be found at http://www.newvoyages.com. I share Marc’s sentiment about James Cawley, the actor who is portraying Captain Kirk. He is hot.

    We have garden apartments here in Michigan as well. In fact, I almost ended up living in one when I lived in Saginaw Townshipl.

  • Ok, wrong URL on “New Voyages.” The correct version is:

    http://www.startreknewvoyages.com

    And, I made a typo on my previous city of residence. It should have been “Saginaw Township”.

  • Either way, if you’ve been eating too many delicious Krispy Kreme donuts, you wont fit when it’s your time to quit.

  • Fausto, we only take the piss out of your Bristish accents becasue we lurrrve you! :D Amanda’s Scottish one on this show may have just beaten you to the top, though!!! xxx
