We’re happy to announce THE Feast of Fools Word of the Year is “chimping.”
What does it mean? The term “chimping” is more commonly used to refer to the act of looking at one’s digital camera screen after taking a picture to see if it came out well.
But what it REALLY means is to slap your “love rod” on someone’s face. Chimping is a sexual act and a photography term. We think it’s a great word worth the title of “Word of the Year.”
Pup Don’s friend Alan takes the credit for introducing us to the word on FOF Episode #539 “Human Dogs.”
Marc’s Latino busboy buddies like the term so much they use it all the time to joke with each other, “dale un chimp!” they say, which in English means “Slap your cock on his face!” These are heterosexual men joking about gay sex acts. Welcome to liberation baby!
In 2008, stop the hate.
We’re all so worried that Ellen DeGeneres is still upset about her hairdresser’s dog being taken away after violating the terms of the adoption. Better try the Humane Society next time Ellen! Still 2007 was a great year for Ellen and gays on TV as we saw gay bloggers like Chris Chrocker and Perez Hilton be given their own TVshows. (Chris is still in development.) If THEY can break through the pink glass ceiling, anyone can!
The sexiest news story has to be about the British budget hotel chain Travelodge, who reported a seven-fold increase in sleepwalking from the previous year and noted that over 95% of all these naked sleepwalkers were guys. Where can I check in to this hotel? We’re not sure if the company publicized it to draw media attention (very likely) or they were just seriously concerned about the safety of their guests. Either way, nobody seemed to explain the seven-fold increase in naked men wandering your hallways. If they do, I hope they make those results public.
We’re delighted that there was so much hot gay sex happening to conservative Republican jerks in Washington and the fact so many of them were caught with their pants down, exposing this great hypocristy, but like I said before, it’s 2008, stop the hate. These guys need your sympathy and love.
Marc explains it like this: “Having gay sex behind the scenes and then creating a world that’s hostile to gay people is a form of sexual bondage. It’s their sexual fetish. They just can’t have a satisfying sexual release without it. The same way you wouldn’t hate someone for liking to be tied up during sex, you shouldn’t hate on them. But the thing is though, we need to help these people find healthier ways of getting off and getting them the HELL out of office is the perfect place to start their healing.”
Quote of the Year:
“I want to be like Ghandi and Martin Luther King and John Lennon, but I want to stay alive.”

January 3, 2008 at 12:41I’m chimping right now. 
I hated the Spice Girls when they first came out but they redeemed themselves to me in two ways. I heard an amazing club mix of Wannabe that I totally fell in love with and, I have to admit, Spice World was really funny. They were smart, it was not a throw away movie with bad music and T&A, it was a Who’s Who of British comedy chock full of really fun cameos. It’s well worth a spot on your Netflix queue.

January 3, 2008 at 13:27I worked for a while doing night audit at a hotel although there are a few stories of awkward happenings unfortunately no naked wandering sleepwalkers. Someone needs to photoshop Bush’s mug onto that photo of Amy Winehouse wandering topless in London, I think we will see Bush go into rehab in 2008 in a move similar to Mel Gibson and others who go into rehab for public relations reasons. Dale un CHiMP!

January 3, 2008 at 14:21I have to agree with you PupDon, it was worth a space in my NF queue. As for Chimping…well..I Chimp guys all the time..hehehehe. I totally agree with Fausto, I would have tanned my “daughter’s” ass (if I had one) if they had video taped me recovering from a hangover, eating a hamburger on the floor..lol. As for my favorite guest…I’d have to say I loved ‘em all. So entertaining. The steamworks episode just made me realize I can’t wait until I get up there to visit it. I thought that the FukUDoMe joke was great. I got it! Wow, Buck Rogers…that reminds me of another questionable computer in 70’s TV, Ira from Wonder Woman…I mean..come on…IRA…if that doesn’t make it obvious.
Lolz, I r Luvz LolCatz!
OOooooh, I can’t wait for the new breakdown 2008! I look forward to answering these. I look forward to seeing Fausto shirtless in Gay Pride…woo woo!
Loved the quotes review! Thanks for reviewing the last year with me, I can’t wait to see what this year holds in store for us.

January 3, 2008 at 15:10i would probably sell my first born (if i have one) for a ticket to watch the spice girls. i practically spend my teenage years listening to their music and i know the lyrics to all of their songs without even meaning to learn them.

January 3, 2008 at 19:08Great re-cap show reflecting on all the fun we had in 2007. I agree Spice World was quite funny and way better than ever should have been.
I got a question for the Breakdown 2008 - How about “Who was your first celebrity crush?” I loved Jason Bateman on Silver Spoons. HAWT!!!

January 3, 2008 at 23:02This Spice Girls talk is making me miss my crazy fanboy friend from college… he was so obsessed with them, he was planning to write a novel starring himself and the Spice Girls as his creative writing thesis. Wherever he is now, I sure hope he has tickets for their comeback tour.
One of my favorite celebrity podcasts from last year was the Paula Poundstone interview. That conversation just went to the weirdest places, and it was all hilarious…

January 4, 2008 at 11:06I agree that cats are funnier when being ridiculed. At the store I work at, first this book became a hit, featuring evil cats:
http://www.amazon.com/Bad-Cat-Not-So-Pretty-Kitties-Cats/dp/0761136193/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1199466237&sr=8-1
Then followed Bad Dog, Bad Baby, Bad Bride, Bad Bush etc. But as with most movie sequels, it was all downhill after the original.

January 4, 2008 at 21:47To be honest, I really liked the Lady Bunny spoof, where she rattles off all the products that she was going to hock on QVC. (”How was I supposed to know that was a synagogue?”)
