Everybody is going green these days, and I’m not talking about the incredible hulk! Whoo I’d love to be around the ONE time his pants finally ripped off when he transformed.
No, were talking about the environment. Green is no longer obscene, green is in. In case you’ve been living under a rock, the fashion world is going ga-ga over eco-friendly products, and here at the Feast of Fools, we’re keeping up with the trends.
Our web-hosting company is green and although we shun the color from the design of the site, we carry ecological concerns deep inside our hearts.
On today’s show Sal-E (pictured here on the right) comes to talk about ways you can become an eco-frinedly drag queen.
One concept we’re tossing out there is PRE-CYCLING. Re-cycling means to find a secondary use to materials or objects, to convert waste to useable materials.
Why wait? Pre-cycling is the concept of finding use for an object before it’s indeded use comes to be. You heard it here first! PRE-CYCLING.
A man in South Chicago bought his own coffin and until the fateful day comes where he meets his maker, he’s going to use it as a beer cooler.
Bill Bramanti from the South Side of Chicago loves his Pabst Blue Ribbon beer so much, he had a coffin designed to look like the can. But before he’s buried in it, he’s filled it up with ice and regularly uses it as a beer cooler on the weekends.
On a darker note, two guys just got arrested for digging up a human corpse, cutting it’s head off and using the skull as a marijuana bong. I don’t know where to start with that one.
Join Sal-E, Marc Felion and me Fausto Fernós today as we talk about those new concepts in ecological conservation, flogos- corporate logos in the sky and Barak Obama moving on as Hilary’s future as Democratic nominee becomes more and more uncertain.
Queers do find love! This week 70s rock icon Lou Reed got married to 80s performance icon Laurie Anderson in a private wedding.
Pictured here in this file photo making out with David Bowie, the bisexual 70s icon struggled once with his own homsexual desire and even conceded to receiving electroshock therapy to “cure” himself of being gay.
In many ways marrying lesbionic Laurie Anderson is a nice compromise, and she’s a fierce diva in her own right.
For those of you who don’t know about Laurie, she had a #2 British pop hit with her song “O Superman” in the 80s and pioneered much of the midi techonlogy found in modern music today.
She’s the innovator of the “tape-bow violin” a device that uses recorded magnetic tape on the bow and a tape head on the bridge of the violin to make freaky sounds onstage. I think these two make a beautiful couple.
Hats off to Matthew Pope! The Kansas State Shawnee Mission East class of ‘08 just elected their homecoming king and queen the same person. It’s openly gay Matthew Pope, co-captain of the cheerleading squad. Isn’t he adorable?
Every time he walks out on the court the kids erupt in cheers chanting “Pope! Pope! Pope!” The school goes nuts whenever he prerofrms his signature moves, a series of back flips across half the court. I’m sure he’s popular with the male atheltes as well. Ah progress!
Always lean, green and obscene- Feast of Fools.

If only Divine were still with us. That would have been a great show. Any plans to get Tammie Brown or Nina Flowers on the show?

SAL-E says:
Have you seen my “My Pretty Pony” Necklace?
patchouli_stink says:
Wha Wha Whaaa!! It’s Sal-E again! Great show guys. I saw the My Pretty Pony necklace on Flickr. OvertheTop!
Pete says:
What a nice show to end the week, including that incredibly adorable picture of Marc with the flower in his hair. It washed away the bitter, yet highly entertaining, “Crocker vs. Kennidi” conflict of 2008 and the inane “Unknown101” bullshit.
The “How to Hook-Up Online” forum sounds like fun and just in time for fucking season in Chicago.
I wonder how big the guys’ collection of cock shots is. They should publish them on Xtube.
Fausto Fernós says:
here is the pic of Sal-E dressed up as a baby wearing his my little pony necklace:
michael says:
Fun show.
There was a guy on my high school’s cheerleading team (who was pretty cute and who I had a bit of a crush on). In retrospect I don’t even think it *occurred* to me that he might be gay. I only knew one openly gay person in my whole school. This was 5-6 year ago, when not everybody had cellphones, Myspace/Facebook pages, and spent 5 hours a day on YouTube.. amazing how quickly things have changed.
Kendall says:
pre-cycling - I love this concept - which is why I use my weight set as a doorstop!!
Rhea says:
What?! Kennidi and Sal-E are a COUPLE?!
I wish you two crazy kids all the happiness in the world!!!
Purple monkey dishwasher!
P.S. Loved the Minnie Riperton intro. How can anyone be in a bad mood when they hear Sal-E and Fausto sing?
Marc Felion says:
Kennidi and Sal-E are a coupla somethings that’s for sure.
Fausto Fernós says:
la la la la la,
la la la la la,
la la la la la la la la la la la
do do do do do…
SHREEEEEEKKKKK!!!!
SAL-E says:
Oh my gosh, don’t you go start Rumors………………
Anywho, guess who got to hang out with me? Kennidi and then we went to JackHammer and I took her down into the Hole and Teri Yaki was there and Reina too. We did shots and drinks and I introduced them all to my Friend John. Can I just say WOOF?
OH my gosh my Friend John is HOT and he is a Ginger too!
And then I ran into Dakota Bear. He says Hey to Puppy D and I promised to get the LA Boys down to Cell Block and JackHammer this year. I am ready to pass out………..and will post pictures of my adventures that took place on 5-10-08. I even did my first video blog from the Bar……………I was tempted to do it from the bathroom, but then I thought I lost my magic mirror and it was time to go home and then Kennnidi Found herself a Man and I played Taxi Driver and now I am so ready to pass out.
Love ya

Christian83 says:
I think Kennidi and Sal-E make a nice couple
Matty says:
Women got the right to vote on August 18, 1920, it was the 19th amendment to the U.S. Constitution. One of 27, with the last being added to the constitution in 1992. This 27th amendment was the first, and only amendment to our constitution that took over 200 years to finalize. It was first proposed on 9/25/1789 but not until 5/7/1992 was it ratafied and added to our constitution. Not sending out any hate like anyone got it wrong or anything you guys, I just love history so I thought I would share a little knowledge with everyone. Great show you guys! I think from now on I’ll insist that my sister let me pre-cycle her boyfriends then I can recycle them and let here have them. lol she always gets the hottest guys. Shes such a lucky bitch, I promise I aint bitter……much.
lol
Much my love,
Vanman
SAL-E says:
So get this……………….you know that picture that you used on here where you turned up the green? Well, some person is using my pictures and saying that they are me……some contest that Logo is running……………and someone is using my face with some other name?
Why would someone want to say that they are me?
And what happend when they have to prove it?
I have the whole photo shoot from the entire night. And I can paint my own face…Can they say the same?
Just a question.
Love ya
