Did you know that skipping is a great aerobic exercise? It’s true. So what if you look a little gay skipping down the sidewalk? With or without a jump rope, you’ll look fabulous losing all that excess poundage and it will make you feel like a kid again.
Maybe that’s why the Chinese love skipping so much. This past week in the city of Changsha broke the previous record held by Hong Kong in 2005 with 3005 people skipping at the same time for more than three minutes.
Is there a rivalry between Changsha and Hong Hong? I’m surprised some gay neighborhood hasn’t thought about breaking that world record. Why there are tens of thousands of people in every gay pride parade who would be more than happy to break that record, and probably already do.
On today’s show Marc Felion and me, Fausto Fernós address our listeners needs for tips and ideas on meeting hot men in their small hometown. Here’s the quick answer: be friends first.
A great way to make new friends is to do social things in a group with other people. Throw a party, have a get-together at the beach, or go to the movies is a great way to exapnd your social horizons and meet new people.
Why don’t you join us? Next Thursday at midnight we’ll be doing a Feast of Fools - Out at the Movies for the special premier of the Simpsons Movie. I suggest if you want to go to this with us, you get your tickets now.
Miss Ronnie, Sal-E, Amanda, Marc and I will be going and you’ll get to hang out with all the fans as we enjoy the premier of the Simpsons Movie.

Akron Ohio wants to attract the gay dollar. How are they doing it? By co-branding their news release with KFC’s ad: “Chicken Captial USA.” Well not really, but it’s a funny coincidence, isn’t it?
What are the thresholds of intolerance? Right now in Alberta, Canada the congested intersection between hate-speech and free-speech is being tested as a fundamentalist Anglican minister, the Rev. Boissoin (sounds like BOY + POISON) is butting heads with professor Lunt regarding an anti-gay letter he printed in his community centers magazine. We don’t make these names up people.
Please take note that these are two straight men arguing about gay liberties, meanwhile Canada’s gay rights group EGALE is taking a pass on this.
Pictured here is a giant drawing of Homer Simpson holding a donut next to an 17th century drawing of a club wielding giant, thought to be an ancient pagan fertility symbol.
Although the Simpsons ad will wash away the next time it rains, pagans and historians in the area are not amused.
Oprah and Gayle love each other very much, but are still not gay, and Linda and Joan still hate each other after all these years, and they are still not gay either.

July 18, 2007 at 10:16Yay, Marc is back! They’ve been working you too hard at your day job…
The Kwik-E-Mart video is adorable! Did you end up taking Marge home?
I thought of you guys this weekend because we passed a pollo al carbon place as we were driving along Fullerton… now I can’t remember what the cross street was. Kostner? I think it was one of the K streets. On the south side of Fullerton. But we also saw a pupuseria and I was trying to remember THAT cross street too, for our own restaurant list, so I may have mixed them up…
Michael Carrino says:
July 18, 2007 at 11:10Since Akron took the initiative to be progressive enough to embrace the gays, they should also hire FOF to kick off the campaign.
I’ve been known to be quite vocal and critical about Akron but this one thing I think they actually got right.

July 18, 2007 at 13:28Maia, Is it a REAL charcoal grilled chicken place or just someplace that sells chicken (not charcoal grilled.)
Maia says:
July 18, 2007 at 15:08It looked pretty authentic, though we didn’t stop to check it out so I can’t say 100% for sure. But it had “pollo al carbon” hand-painted on the windows!

July 18, 2007 at 16:40Advice on meeting guys in a small town: honestly as rediculous as it sounds, go to your local mall and hit up all the higher end retail stores, you’ll be able to find PLENTY of men for your picking. But don’t look for anything serious while you’re young. Now is the time to get all the promiscuity out of your system so you can settle down at a ripe age otherwise if you get into a relationship to early it might backfire on you

July 18, 2007 at 20:38As much as I love the guests on the show, sometimes it is great to hear just Marc and Fausto bouncing off of each other.
I Loved the “Kwik-E-Mart” video. I think Fausto and Marc both looked thin and sexy on screen. The workouts are working, guys!
Also, I think the more that Fausto messes with this “Opra and Gayle” thing, the less likely he will be to ever get the chance to jump on her couch and profess his love for Marc on TV. Then again, who knows?
Fausto Fernós says:
July 19, 2007 at 00:16I think it’s funny, and I’m pretty sure they think it’s funny too.
Grace says:
July 19, 2007 at 12:01Fausto, your song from the beginning would make a great mini bite!
Just like “the wake up song” that i still listen to every once in awhile.

July 19, 2007 at 16:38Ok guys. I know a little on this. My good friend was in the cast of
“Legends!” and I went to go see it. Afterwards, I went backstage and
met some of the cast including Joan Collins (sidenote: she looks
ancient up close…not very appeasing to look at to be honest). I know
for a fact that the two ladies did NOT share a dressing room. We can
not have two divas powdering their ‘new’ noses together, now can we?
Just thought I would let you boys know

July 18, 2007 at 08:53The giant Homer ring toss is hilarious. Come on Pagans lighten up. It would be interesting to see a video of how they painted that big Homer.
Also free speech means just that. You should be able to say whatever you want as long as it doesn’t harm anyone. When you start telling someone they can’t say something that could lead to you being told to shut up. I know there are lots of idiots out there spewing hate but that just means we need to talk louder.
On a different note, the town I was born in Fitzgerald, GA is the Underwear Capital of the World. At least that is what the billboard outside town by the underwear factory said.
