ATTENTION! Bonus Podcast with Marsain De Lellis available at the Gay Bloggies.com
Fukudome is a Japanese baseball player’s last name, it is not a two part command, which I learned much to my disappointment. On Wednesday, I was at the coffee shop and I looked down at the newspaper on the table and saw the headline blaring “Fukudome picks Cubs.” I thought I was looking at one of the local gay rags, after all, it was a little dirty sounding word and the caption did involve a cub, which in gay parlance is a young bear.
Well, it turned out to be the sports section of the Chicago Tribune. I was a little confused so like any smart person, I read the article. Imagine me, reading the sports page. Don’t get me wrong, although I find it hard to follow sports, I love athletic bodies and with a compelling name like Kosuke Fukudome, I couldn’t resist reading about him. It is a name built for comedy. If only Abbot and Costello had been around to see this. Who would have been on first? Or better yet, who would have been on top? It really is up there in the top funny names like Joey Buttafuoco, Gina Lollobrigida, Anna Maria Alberghetti and Peter O’Toole.
He is adorable and he has a funny name. I’m sure he will give us hours of entertainment. I wonder what Hard Gay thinks of him?
The “Word of the Year” for 2007 according to Merriam-Webster is w00t. Huh? WTF? w00t? Well, w00tn’t U like 2 know? Well, of course you w00t. So, w00t is a hybrid of numbers and letters used as an exclamation of happiness or triumph made popular by the gaming community. It is a form of “l33t” speak, which stands for “elite” speak and is pronounced “leet.” It does remind me a bit of LoLcatspeak, but a little less cute and without the endearing pictures. Click here for more funny pictures of lolcats.
The significance here is that our language changes the more we are become a digital society. Eventually we may just write in binary code- 01 00 01 11 10 00 LOL!
Join us as we talk about new ways to relax and have fun around dead people, a baby in China was born in a toilet on a train and got stuck in the pipes, and a mystery man who decorates trees by the highway for Christmas.

Oh.. about skulls, the Buddah use skulls and death in many of their higher practices. Everything is sacred.

December 13, 2007 at 12:10Stinky Pete is becoming a character on the show that keeps reappearing. The picture of a hot stinky ukrainian perched on the toilet like a dog shitting is seared in my mind now… maybe he needed extra leverage or something… constipated? Thx for the show

December 13, 2007 at 12:12This morning’s show, as always, is great! Thanks for the free Audible.com download and for mentioning the Kindle. I love my Kindle and so far I’ve had no problems. Bi-sexual Fruit-flys, wow, now those are hot jeans..oh, I mean genes. Squatting at the gym? Really, now that’s entertaining, maybe he was practicing for his brown hanky nights at the club? I found an excellent Hanky code list here:

December 14, 2007 at 09:11What was the name of that movie in the late 70’s early 80’s about the kids from vietnam over here? It had that kid running around saying “mercedes number one.” I think they depicted the kids squatting over the comode instead of sitting on it. I was really young, like 8, when I saw it so it kind of blurs in my mind now. It had that guy from thirtysomehting in it. The curly haired red headed guy. Oh well… got a block..
Joe P says:
December 14, 2007 at 18:13w00t! w00t! I loved the news about Fukudome. I speak Japanese fluently, and Fausto you speak his name perfectly! And when you add that fake Japanese accent me get so horny! If Mark ever gets him on the show please let me translate for him!
I lived in Japan, too, and I tell you I hate traditional Japanese toilets. There was only one time I had to use a Japanese toilet when I was staying at a traditional Japanese inn. I was so freaked out by squating over the hole and dropping poopoo on my undergarments I had to take my pants and underwear off before I could do it. I was even scared of the Japanese electronic “bidets,” too. I was always afraid of pushing the wrong button and something happening to my bum that I didn’t want to happen. Let me tell you, though, the heated toilet seats were to die for in the winter!
So happy you made it the the next round in the Gay Bloggies!

December 14, 2007 at 22:38That was a hilarious story from Marc about the gym! Classic.
And congratulations on getting a mainstream advertiser. It’s such a welcome change from Steamworks. Not that they’re bad, but it’s nice to see some new blood. Good going.
Roke says:
December 15, 2007 at 16:54Ok guys, all that talk about some hot muscle jock named She-Hulk got me so curious. Any chance you can get that hunk’s pic on the podcast. Or better yet, he sounds like a good guest for one of your next shows. Maybe he can give some advice on weight training so we all can chant, Fuck-U-Do-Me! Anyways, always a treat to hear about your antics out and about in Chicago. That’s my favorite big city. And please try to get a live podcast at steam works. Love ya.
Katers says:
December 20, 2007 at 15:03I’ve been thinking about relocating to Chicago after I finish college - or perhaps transferring to somewhere in Chicago for school! I think I’d really enjoy it. Thanks for giving me more things to look forward to!
