This video, in which (it seems) a hag misses her fag, is sweet enough to give one a cavity. But it does raise an interesting question – “Are you anybody’s favorite person?” I’m fairly lucky in that I have few favorite people, and one of them is having a birthday today.
Happy birthday Tiffney!

Forbes just might be full of it, or maybe. . . .
Have you heard? San Francisco is the best place in America to live if you’re single.
Our fair city recently took first-place honors on Forbes.com’s seventh annual “Best Cities for Singles” list. Using U.S Census Bureau information, Forbes judged the largest 40 American cities on such factors as job growth, culture, the cost of living alone, nightlife, the number of singles, online dating and coolness. With its strong marks in culture, nightlife and cost of living alone (?), we beat out New York and Los Angeles in a stunning upset that sent former champion Denver tumbling to 16th place.
Not to be content with merely a single win, San Francisco also placed high up on the “Most Romantic U.S. Cities” list (theknot.com), the “City with the Most Physically-Fit Singles” list (Match.com), and Men’s Health magazine’s “Top Cities to Find Single Men Over 35″ list (a sign of such hope for 30-plus single women everywhere, apparently, that Oprah – on behalf of her best bud, Gayle – features the magazine’s findings on her show).

Blizzard once again is attempting to walk a very fine line with regards to censoring player interaction. I rather lost respect (and my desire to play Warcraft. Apparently I’m not alone. One of the most popular keyword phrases that leads people from Google search to my site is the title of one of my entries Bored of Warcraft) after Blizzard’s badly bungled multiple stabs at forcing my guild The Spreading Taint, to change its name. Sadly they were eventually somewhat successful (though big kudos to the Taint as they expand into a third guild to accomodate their growing membership).
So this article interests me, especially about Blizzard’s desire to prevent the disciplined parties from publicising Blizzard’s action. And any article that starts off
is worth a read anyway.

Violence over a woman, men with three names, a birth defect, a nickname, and home crafts-for-profit. It doesn’t get much more Southern than this folks. Enjoy.

Police are investigating the death of a man who collapsed after he was head-butted by an armless man in a fight over a woman. Snellville Police Chief Roy Whitehead said the two men, Charles Keith Teer and William Russell Redfern, scuffled Monday afternoon in the driveway of a suburban Atlanta home.
Police say Redfern, who was born with no right arm and only a short stump for his left arm, kicked Teer and Teer hit Redfern during the fight, which was due to long-standing bad blood over a woman who once dated Teer and now dates Redfern.
After bystanders separated them, Redfern “came back and head-butted (Teer) one time,” Whitehead said.
Teer complained of feeling dizzy, collapsed, and died, Whitehead said.
After the fight, Redfern and the woman got into his truck and drove to the Snellville police station, Whitehead said. He said the couple had called 911 to report the dispute, then told the operator they needed an ambulance after Teer collapsed.
A woman who answered the telephone at Redfern’s home, in suburban Tucker, Ga., said he had no comment. She declined to identify herself.
Police are awaiting autopsy results before deciding whether Redfern should be charged.
Known by the nickname “Rusty,” Redfern made a name for himself in the late 1980s for pen and ink drawings he does using his foot.
According to the web site for VSA Arts — an affiliate of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts that promotes and showcases artists with disabilities — Redfern’s drawings take one to six months to complete.
He was one of six Georgians selected to represent the state at the 1989 International Arts Festival in Washington, D.C., and was commissioned by Georgia’s then-Secretary of State Max Cleland for a series of illustrations depicting the state capitol.
According to the site, he started Redfern Originals, Inc. in 1987, producing Christmas cards, stationary and limited-edition prints.

I once did a very brief volunteer stint for elderly queer peeps and got to hang with John Burnside, the life partner for the now-deceased Harry Hays. Hays, among his other accomplishments, founded the Radical Faeries in 1979 and talks here about park sex in the days before fly briefs and zippers.
The above-linked site also has footage of the White Night Riots, which I could, and have, watched over and over. Something about fed-up queers torching cop cars makes me all hot and bothered. A tad more sad is the final words of Harvey Milk, who will apparently be played by Sean Penn in an upcoming Van Sant movie (and Matt Damon, in a huge acting stretch, is slated to play Milk’s assassin).

Like almost anyone else, I can get a little disheartened seeing how many homeless there are in San Francisco. Not as disheartened as I get, however, when I hear how my fellow house-having homos interpret the situation.
I like this rather clarifying take on the situation, pictured below, from here, which is slightly clipped on the right, but still readable, at least on my browser.

Imagine [someone] who thinks sex is like a handshake. Who organises orgies with the neighbours, doesn’t mind if their partner sleeps around, and firmly believes females should be in charge of everything.
Sounds like a faggot during the current political season to me. But the author of that quip is instead talking about bonobos, our under-discussed ancestors (along with the much more famous chimpanzee). A group of psychologists is bravely/stupidly heading into the Republic of Congo, the only place where bonobos live, to study bonobo society.
One researcher chronicles their adventure – civil wars, hemmorhagic fever outbreaks and all.
