Teri Yaki as CherIf necessity is the mother of invention, then drag queens are the children of finding a shortcut to looking fabulous!

When Teri Yaki isn’t busy entertaining audiences in Chicago, she buries herself in her basement coming up with real-life inventions to patent, with hopes of making enough money one day to own her own nightclub.

Hailing from Detroit, Teri Yaki can fix a car blindfolded, hot glue herself a dress in seconds and make a one-hitter out of a tube of lipstick.

Think of Teri Yaki as Ron Popeil in drag. She’s actually come up with some remarkable ideas, including a mouse trap that plays a song whenever it catches it’s prey!

Will mousetrap jingles replace cell phone ringtones in the future as revenue sources for the music industry?

John Lennon gets forgiven by the VaticanListen as we talk with Teri Yaki about the nostalgia of Thanksgiving, the Chinese karaoke cab driver, the dangers of hairspray, and the Vatican gives a posthumous pardon to musician John Lennon for saying the Beatles were more popular than Jesus in 1966. Been a long time coming!

At least they didn’t wait over 400 years to forgive him, like they did with Galileo.

On Halloween, Oct. 31 1992, Pope John Paul II expressed regret for how the Galileo affair was handled, and officially conceded that the Earth was not stationary, as the result of a study conducted by the Pontifical Council for Culture. Galileo spent the last days of his life under house arrest for daring to suggest that the Earth revolved around the sun.

More popular than Proposition 8 is with queer people- Feast of Fools.

    Tracy and Teri Yaki in the same week! What a treat! I LOVE Teri Yaki and I can’t wait for the game shows she’ll be hosting. It sounds like so much fun. (Plus I’m filled with useless and perverted knowledge.) Teri Yaki, I love your invention ideas. The musical mousetrap would save so many trips to the basement in my house, which is not human-friendly. I really hope you get your own nightclub someday.

    And Fausto, I agree with Teri Yaki that I would have fought the rats for rights to the wig.

    As for the hairspray thing, yeah it’d be cool for peeing, but that’d just be weird for cumming on someone during homo sex, jacking someone off, or even masturbation. The strange angle the cock would have to be held, especially when jacking someone off, but that would be half the fun for me, at least, trying to figure out that angle… ;)

    Fantastic show again! I’m ordering one of your new shirts and also making a separate donation later this week. Thanks for the entertainment!

    Oh yeah, I was gonna share a Trannyshack story. Your talking about wanted drag queens reminded me of the time when Trannyshack had a tribute night for Ethylina Canne, Americas Most Wanted Tranny according to the wanted style posters they made. She had been arrested for passing bad checks in a shoe store where they locked her in until the cops arrived. She was actually breaking the terms of her probation by leaving her county to come host Trannyshack that night.

    Seriously Teri, I could hug you, I can’t tell you how many times as a kid I had to go out to the garage to check the mouse traps, only to find that one I missed with a puffed mouse inside.

    By the way, mice LOVE peanut butter and cigars, best thing I found to attract them.

      Also, to be clear: I don't have much opinion either way on the legitimacy of RS actions. I do have some observations: 1. If they were anti-GLBT within the last year or two, it's unlikely they had a change of heart. 2. There is a difference between people who work for the company and the company. 3. Their actions (donating 100K + domestic partne […]

      I definitely agree with Tung on the whole becoming a pro-LGBT organization by starting off pretending to be one. Even if they don't really support us now, but acting like they do and helping with LGBT organizations it could easily change some minds in their company.
