Valentine’s Day has come early this year! Our friend the comedian Ronn Vigh has found a sexy new man and has been busy snuggling up with him these long winter nights in San Francisco.
Who is Ronn’s new mystery man and just how did he break up the guy’s previous relationship without out even having to try? Exactly what what kind of lust does Ronn create in the hearts and loins of men that will make them throw all caution to the wind? Is Ronn is the Jezebel of the Castro? I’m not sure we found the answer, but it was fun trying.
Also on today’s show Ronn makes for us one of his delicious fresh-juice muddled cocktails which contains both bitter and sweet elements, just like a love itself! Get your ingredients ready: cucumbers, cardamom pods, grapefruits, sugar, fresh hibiscus tea and lots and lots of gin.
A Japanese schoolteacher is channeling Joan Crawford. When this poor substitute teacher couldn’t calm her unruly students, she lined up the entire class in a row and slapped each one them! Needless to say, she got the can and the kids were not her fan. Still I can’t help thinking the real-life Maria Von Trapp, fresh from the convent would have slapped those kids around. Sing you brats, sing!
Our friend Steven Peterson (remember him from his cake sitting video in Los Angeles) has been working busy as a bee setting up a brand new EBay online store that specialises in only ONE thing. Argyle. The Argyle Aisle is your one-stop shopping point for pretty much anything you’d ever want to see in argyle but were afraid to ask. My favorite part of the site is the “Argyle-O-Matic” that allows you to design any argyle pattern you want and then save it as a desktop pattern. Nifty.
Listen as we chat with Ronn about how he handled his holidays. Holidays? You can’t handle the holidays! Well, you might be able to handle them but it seems San Francisco doesn’t seem to get it’s holidays quite right. Halloween was canceled, Christmas was ruined by a runaway tiger, will Valentine’s Day be next? And what will happen on the holiest day of the year, St. Patrick’s Day? Will they outlaw green beer? Should San Francisco just give up on celebrating? And just what is it they put in the beer to make it green? We have lots of questions that must be answered.
The secret ingredient in the Feast of Fools cocktail is booze.

January 18, 2008 at 08:39I love hearing from well hung guest especially the delicious Ronn.
I saw Cyndi Lauper in Atlanta a few years ago. She was performing in a wheelchair because she had broken her foot. At one point in the show, her boa got caught in the spokes of her wheelchair and started choking her. I was certain we had another Isadora Duncan on our hands but like a real trooper she pulled through.
Have a great long weekend everyone!

January 18, 2008 at 12:46I’m not even past the introduction to the show but I need to comment on something before I forget. I read somewhere that John Lennon had said that if the word on the ceiling had been “no” he would have left and never thought about her again. I am a big fan of Yoko Ono. I think it’s a shame that Beatles fans have given her a bum rap over the years and that so many people make fun of her. Listen to “Yes, I’m a Witch” and you can see her genius, and the impact she’s had on many of today’s artist. I also read that when a young Cyndi Lauper left home for the first time, setting out to discover herself, one of the few items she took with her was a copy of Grapefruit.

January 18, 2008 at 14:21Okay, I’m not going to apologize for the lateness of your x-mas presents, because it now occurs to me that they were actually EARLY Martin Luther King Jr Day presents!
I love any show with Ronn. I’m glad to hear he’s head-over-heels! I love argyle, too. This show was one big love-fest.
I just found this photo of the New Museum in NYC — seems like an exuberant response to Yoko Ono’s ceiling piece. I love it!

p.s. if Fausto is late for another valentine’s dinner, I’d like Marc to know that SPAM comes in many flavors, including: honey, garlic, hot ‘n’ spicy, and, perhaps the most cringetastic, CHEESE. Or should I say, “cheese.” Scrumptious!

January 18, 2008 at 16:15PupDon, I love Yoko too and when people ask me who my favorite Beatle is I say “Yoko” and they usually laugh but they always think a little first.
Maia, thank you for the brain mold. I bought some jell-O last night!
Maia says:
January 18, 2008 at 16:39For some reason, my mom got REALLY into jell-O molds a few years ago. I don’t know why… her PTA potluck years are well behind her. She came up with some crazy stuff. Try substituting 1/2 of the water with ginger ale, and you’ll get sparkly jell-O. (Think worm-eaten brains. Yummm.)
Yoko is super sexy. Just sayin’…
Ronn says:
January 18, 2008 at 17:18Even worse, my family always maks this weird gelatinous Shrimp mold thing every holiday- sometimes round but sometimes in a shape of this giant fish mold that has been in our family for years. Oh, and I like any show with me on it, too!
