My eyes rolled for "Look at This Fucking Hipster". There was a brief interest in "This is Why You Are Fat". Now, there is a site that can keep my interest: "Dads in Short Shorts".
Side note: Can I just give some props to the old-schoolishness of using Blogspot instead of the Tumblr circle-jerk?

In a world where everything needs an explanation, we have this wikiHow, written for straight women, straight men, and gay men. And bisexual men. And tranny-loving men. But not for lesbians, who will be denied the secrets of cuddling forever.

So we're at a party as Cator Sparks', and it's sort of full of all these gay-looking men and their either British or Asian girlfriends. Two gays with the same initials (DH) are with me and another gay named Mike. We're near a sofa discussing a range of topics with a somewhat logical narrative. Paula Dean leads to butter leads to bacon leads to the saving of bacon grease and what should be done with it.
My contribution is adding a teaspoon of grease to Brussels sprouts along with pulverized pecans . DH1 suggests using it instead of butter in corn bread. Then DH2 jokingly suggests combining it with liquor. We all joke for a minute of bacon grease shooters and other inspired concoctions. The topic moves on to "how women often push you out of the way with their tits" and so on.
Ten minutes later Cator breezes by and for some reason begins to talk about bacon-infused vodka. As he continues we are dumbfounded at first by his bringing forth our previous topic and next by the fact that it is incredibly easy to make.
Three strips of bacon are prepared as one does. The three strips are then added to a standard 750ml bottle of vodka. (Being a former Absolut Spirits Company employee and sort of versed on flavor characteristics of vodkas, I'd recommend using Ketel One or maybe Absolut Peppar.) Put the bottle away in a cabinet for three weeks. Remove the bottle and strain through cheesecloth (or nylons). The remaining substance is apparently amazing.
In three weeks, this will be either confirmed or lamented.

Oh, but as a kid did I love that the word "sinister" found its derivation from the Latin "left". My mother, a leftie, couldn't understand my fascination with her otherness to me. (Especially since, as a child my left hand was the favored, possible because at birth my right clavicle was shattered and my right shoulder separated. Granted, I was dead at the time, so I totally don't remember it. Anyway, Grandma Lucile insisted that I be forced to work with my right hand, "to make life easier down the road".)
Even my childhood hero Green Lantern knew that lefties were evil. His arch-nemesis was Sinestro, who wore his power ring on, you guessed it, his left hand!
So it's fantastic to know that Californians have recognized the horror that is left-handedness and started a coalition to put those freaks back in the right, so to speak.
Protect Traditional Handedness.
(via Andy, who was cast as King Arthur in our high school's musical over me, which caused me to throw a fit not just because he was a freaking sophomore and I was a senior, but then they offered me the Director slot which was even more awesome in my opinion because I was really in it for filling up my college application with "diverse experiences", but then, when they couldn't find the right fit for Merlin, forced me into that role which totally upset me because I had just played The Wizard in Once Upon a Mattress and, you know, you don't want to be typecast forever as a mage, but the real problem for me was that I was horrible at monologues and Merlin has a freaking huge one in Camelot and that had me freaking out even more because of my bad memory and, oh, yeah, I for whatever reason pronounced the word "sword" with a enunciated "w")

Since my holiday vacation plans were just blown away by friends fearing lay-offs (Provincetown remains elusive!), the reality of the downturn is in-mind. The Boston Globe has a nice "think" piece outlining what the new economic reality may bring.
(via Neal (on whom I totally crush because of the points of view taken in his writing, but am unsure of his gayness. And it's not like he lives on the same continent anyway.))
