Growl! Cougars are on the prowl. On today’s show our pal Jim Pickett introduces us to a new term: COUGAR. Think of it as M.I.L.F. (Mother I’d Like to F*ck) but a little older and a lot more sexually aggressive.

Are we seeing a new sexual identify forming here? It seems it is becoming all the rage for older women to assert their sexuality and date much younger men just like Demi Moore is doing with Ashton Kutcher. The urban dictionary describes a cougar as ” An attractive woman in her 30’s or 40’s who is on the hunt once again. She may be found in the usual hunting grounds: nightclubs, bars, beaches, etc. She will not play the usual B.S. games that women in their early twenties participate in. End state, she will be going for the kill, just like you.”

On a sadder note, by some strange coincidence, just AFTER we taped this show and created the title, a real live cougar was killed on the north side of Chicago. It just breaks my heart that this beautiful creature got trapped in the city and was shot by police officers. There has never been a recorded instance of a wild cougar in the city since it was founded almost two hundred years ago. How strange is that?

Chicago has it all kinds of furry creatures romping the streets- rats, squirrels, snakes, skunks, opossum, deer and a even a coyote. Last year a coyote walked into Quizno’s sandwich shop presumably looking for some food. It’s just a matter of time before wolves and bears comes to town, and we’re not just talking about Bearapalooza. When is Bearapalooza anyway? Check the schedule but I know we’ll be introducing them at Milwaukee Pridefest on June 7th.

Some people worry about what preschool to send their kid to so that they can get into the right schools for the rest of their lives. After all, the foundation you lay for your toddler today will pay off for them way down the line. But what if you are a gang member and your baby momma is a member of a rival gang? What gang do you raise your kid in? We don’t know and this couple seems to have a hard time deciding it themselves. It seems daddy busted up mommy’s workplace he was so distraught that his kid may be raised in a rival gang.

At least those two have each other, unlike the sad lonely people in South Korea who spend April 14th dressed in dark clothes and eating black colored food. It seems first comes, Valentine’s Day on February 14 where women give men presents. Then, there is White Day on March 14th where men give women presents. Now, if you don’t have anybody in your life, you celebrate Black Day on April 14th and meet up with other singles to either commiserate or to hook up.

Attention Chicago Listeners! Join us for a LIVE PODCAST at the Center on Halsted this Thursday April 17, 6pm. What do Gay Men Want? Join us for a lively discussion on gay men’s sexuality. What turns us on, why do we take risks and where are we going as a community?

The lively debate will explore gay men’s relation to sex and risk in the age of barebacking—or condomless sex—and will confront the inaccurate and damaging psychological concepts that are used to describe gay men.

The forum, which will feature panel experts such as Michigan State University’s Dr. David Halperin, DePaul University’s Dr. Gary Harper and Northwestern University’s Dr. Michele Morales, will take place at the Center on Halsted, 3656 N. Halsted.

Afterwards come hang out with us at Sidetrack on Halsted Street to celebrate Fausto’s birthday. Everyone will get a fabulous Feast of Fools t-shirt, courtesy of ApparelBuilder.

Always on the hunt for hot news and social trends- Feast of Fools.
