That squeaky sound you’re hearing doesn’t mean your iPod is broken. It’s just the “bomba atomica” of podcasting, Miss Ronnie. She’s about to explode!
Ronnie is super duper excited because she just found out that she qualifies to take the Psychological Service Bureau exam as a prerequisite for Radiology School. Good luck Ronnie!
I’m sad to say that all the news from “Lake Titicaca” isn’t so good. A Michigan student has been suspended for wearing the words “I’m Straight” on his t-shirt on the GLBT Day of Silence to announce to everyone he was straight. Now why would a school teacher kick a kid out for wearing that? Plus, I think if you have to wear a shirt that says you’re straight, you’re probably not. It’s almost like wearing a “don’t tell my boyfriend I’m gay” tshirt.
My guess is that the conservative news source that is reporting the story is distorting the facts in order to make it appear as if Christians are being persecuted. Now why would anyone hate people who hate gays? Thanks to Brad for the tip!
Everyone is suing over one reason or another these days. First, a Canadian woman is suing a Chinese furniture company for psychological trauma after she found out the color of the couch she ordered was labeled “n-word” brown. (Check out the wikipedia entry for the word, it’s very interesting.) She had relatives in from out of town and they wouldn’t even sit on it. The couch just sat there in the room like a…. ahem.. white elephant. Please do pardon the pun.
Secod, in Bentonville, Arkansas a father is demanding the city pay him $20,000 for “pain and suffering” as well as many “sleepless nights” for exposing his sons to lesbian sex after discovering a book at their local library. I think the many sleepless nights come from thinking about hot girl-on-girl action, not angst-ridden folk singers camping out in Michigan talking about “gender” and “notions of gender” and “the process of gender” and “what gender means to my cats” which I bet you could sue for and win big. Just kidding, we love playing with gender at FoF as long as it’s fun and any hurt is consensual.
We’re all excited about Alexyss Tylor’s cable access show coming out of Atlanta. Anyone familiar with her? If not, please check out the little Easter egg we left for you at the end of the show.

April 24, 2007 at 09:36Egads!!! Put a warning before the BMW alarm goes off! I about blew my ears out as I was leaving my apartment for work! That DEFINATELY needs to be put into your soundbites for future alarm clocks of America!
Congrats to you Ms. Ronnie! Seems that great accomplishments are going around this week! I completed my first 80 mile training ride for the Aids LifeCycle this past Saturday with only a minor scrape to the knee (I fell about 5 miles from the finish)! Now I get to do that (minus injury) for 7 days in a row the first week of June when the REAL ride happens! San Francisco to LA baby!
I have a silly question: If you were to get a couch that was “offensive” because of the tag, why not #1- Send the damn thing back or #2- Remove the tag and just “grab some air” and let it go. It’s a COUCH people!
Always your kinky fan,
Buzz

April 24, 2007 at 09:46Ok, for real… Congrats to Ronnie… but seriously, Ronnie is not allowed to screech like that EVER again. She just about blew out my ear drum… not to mention it was annoying as all hell. I still love her, but no more screeching honey.

April 24, 2007 at 14:20Dang Ronnie I think some of those sounds were super sonic! You’ll do great on your test, we always need good X-ray people, I’ve met some mean ones. Also it’s great that you guys got my question on YAY!!

Congrats! Can I be your first patient??

April 24, 2007 at 23:49Congrats Ronnie!
How exactly do you sue because your couch is racist? Lawsuits like this need to stop. It’s like the lady who spilled her McDonalds coffee in her lap. Puh-lease.
