Don’t they look lovely? Our handsome intern Justin McPhee and Chicago Mr. Gay 2007 Erik R. Sosa came over to tape a show with us today and we couldn’t be more delighted.
When you have so much good looking gay in one room, you just have to pull out the camera and get the fellas to pose with the original BLUE Feast of Fools t-shirts. Click here to get one of your very own hand-made colorfast t-shirts.
On today’s show we talk about the recent Chicago Mr. Gay competition that happened at Crew last Saturday, where a riot almost broke out because the audience was so torn and passionate about who should have been the winner. But in all “winner takes all contests” somebody always loses and in this case it almost brought down the house. Fortunately nobody was hurt.
That aside, the BIG big news story today is that high-ranking Palestinian official Ahmad Jibril revealed that Yasser Arafat, deceased Chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization (1968–2004) and President of the Palestinian National Authority died of all things, AIDS.
Jibril, like many people thought that Israel or the U.S. had assassinated the political leader, but was stunned when the French medical report stated that the cause of Arafat’s death was AIDS. Although many had speculated in the past that the beloved and controversial political leader had numerous gay relationships, this is the first time somebody has publicly admitted it.
But WAS Arafat really gay? No one will ever know for sure but check out this video where he spends quite a bit of time kissing a man. I know it’s common in the Middle East for men to show each other affection, but this a bit much. It reminds me a my friend’s Labrador who can’t stop making kissy face with me.
Speaking of dogs, there was a dog named Pepper Ann that ate $800 dollars in cash. They owners of the money were not happy but at least they were able to retrieve about $700 dollars of the money they lost after they fished it out of the dog’s vomit and feces. Yikes! At least it all spends the same.
Hookers in India now get to suck on their favorite flavored condom. The Nation of India produces condoms that are paan flavored to entice hookers to use them while performing oral sex.
Paan is a mixture of tobacco and beetle nut that is commonly chewed by men. I don’t know if the hookers are into the paan as much as men or that India is trying to cover up widespread homosexual acts bhy saying they are for hookers, who of course are the only people that actually have sex outside of marriage.
Please take a moment of time to think about Tammy Faye Messner and make sure every day is full of love, joy and peace- Feast of Fools.
Please make your six syllable lyric suggestion for the intro jingle, and the winner will get a FOF t-shirt!

July 20, 2007 at 11:43Don’t worry, Fausto, I used to pronounce it the same way…
Aspartame is the Greek goddess of diet cola. She is the mother of Splenda (one of the seven Diabetes), and is known to cause cancer in the state of California.

Oh, and let’s ALL go to the beach this weekend. We could all use a little sunshine in our lives
thegoon4you says:
July 20, 2007 at 11:56I have the jingle…
Feast of Fools….
We’re so Gay
Its 6 syllables like you asked!! ;O)
Leslie Ann Levine says:
July 20, 2007 at 12:04Okay okay, lyrics…
Ah ha! It encapsulates your motto-
People’s Choice Gay Fun Show!
Fausto Fernós says:
July 20, 2007 at 12:07I thought there was a little you and ME in Ass-part-a-me!
So instead it rhymes with LAME? Ass-par-tame?
Tragic.
Keep up those six-syllable lyric entries folks! Who else has got one?
GravyBoyAndy says:
July 20, 2007 at 12:54Feast of Fools
Ping Pong Pride
Tried to think of the most random thing…And, let’s be honest…it’s just so much fun to say!
Maia says:
July 20, 2007 at 13:39Feast of Fools
is so gay.
(flip that shit! of course that is gay in the “fabulous, wonderful, and lovely” sense)
Fructose Cornsyrup says:
July 20, 2007 at 15:56How about:
Rubber chickens
are fun!
Ok so like, I know that has *nothing* to do with FOF but those were the first words that came to my head and I couldn’t stop singing them all day and besides, rubber chickens ARE pretty cool.

July 20, 2007 at 17:03HOW ABOUT:
Feel the love that’s inside.
Pinch his butt once or twice.
Please come up with more words.
Don’t make me come over there.
texas_mouse says:
July 20, 2007 at 17:35Today’s show rocked.
Lyrics: Miss Ronnie might like “Ex-tra-or-din-ar-y”. Maybe “Feast of Fools Gay Pod-Cast”? “We All Love Feast of Fools”? “Faus-to, Mark, and the gayng” (I know that gang doesn’t have a “y” in it, but it sure does gay up the word!). I like rdphilly’s entry too… “with-out you, we-’re no-thing”. Check your email Mark and Fausto, I am sending you a musical gift. 
Tammy Faye: What a coincidence that you all talked about poor TFBM (Tammy Faye Bakker Messner) on today’s show. She really does look awful. “The Gospel According to Tammy Faye” (the musical, none-the-less) will receive it’s Houston premier today and play through July 23. Any FOF Houstonians up for seeing this? Proceeds go to help Bering Support Network and their support for persons affected by HIV/AIDS? According to Houston OutSmart Magazine “people will think this is a spoof of her, but it isn’t”… “It’s a tribute to her life.” Hmm…
Everyone be good to yourself and have a great weekend!

F O F: Be Our Friends
En-ter-tain Your Gay Side
Do Not Att-empt To Run.
Good show today, and is it just me or does Tammy Faye look like the evil witch monster from Darkness Falls? I mean, she has cancer and I feel bad for her, but she just freaked me the hell out when I saw her on CNN (from Larry King). And there are a lot of famous historical gays (the Swan King is particularly interesting.)

Wel-come to Feast of Fools.
This is the Feast of Fools.
or
This is the Gay Fun Show.
This is Fausto and Marc.
We make our own Gra-vy.
lol
i don’t know…
RcktMan says:
July 20, 2007 at 20:01“It’s time for Feast of Fools!”
or:
“Welcome to Feast of Fools!”
Or you could double-time some of the notes and do:
Feast-of Fools-makes your-iPod go Gay!
or
“Gay Fun Show: Feast of Fools!”
OR…. you could do “On today’s Feast of Fools” and then always have a mini-teaser before starting the show… kind of like when you have guests on and have a teaser before the show starts. It’d be like the “Electric Company” when they would say “Today on the Electric Company, so-and-so says (insert goofy Moog sound effect here)”
I know, I’m stretching a bit here…
Loved the show! When are we making meatballs again?
Alex says:
July 21, 2007 at 00:31“sass-a-fraction for all!”
or
“gay pod-cast of the year!”
or
“tan-tric sex for your ears!”
or
“quarter turns, quarter turns!”
ok this is getting to be too much fun.

July 21, 2007 at 23:14“I Love FAUF - FAUF loves me” (FAUF=FOF as single syllable)

July 22, 2007 at 07:20I just got the news that Tammy Faye Messner died Friday. Such a loss!
mandarin says:
July 22, 2007 at 09:26How about…
Full Fat Fun, Feast of Fools !
Also I think you overlooked a key problem with these paan flavoured condoms… paan is usually chewed, not sucked!
And by the way it was in the news recently that the statistics for AIDS cases in India was over estimated by about 50%, so there are about half the number of cases in reality. Furthermore, the % per population isn’t so high, it’s purely the fact that there are so many people living in India. One in six people are Indian! so the number may at first glance seem disproportionately high.
Please don’t let Arafat have been gay! we don’t want him on our team!!! Give me MATT DALLAS and a can of whipped cream!
Justin says:
July 23, 2007 at 12:28I actually just listened to the show and I realized a few things.
First of all, I called Richard Streetman Eric Streetman, which I think must be because Eric was sitting next to me. Sorry Richard.
Second, people are hanged, not hung…. although some men I know are hung, but that’s not what I meant.
mandarin says:
July 24, 2007 at 07:57hehe Justin, a Freudian slip…although imagining Freud in a slip is the last thing on MY mind =)
