Those Czech boys - exausting

Wow, when I wrote "Those Czech Boys", 

I certainly wasn't expecting a video of Czech boys like this! ... 

a memorable way to finish one's education, for sure. 

See the news story and the video here.

Big Gay Musical sure is gay

Wow, this musical sure is gay, gayer than it's musical, even. Though she doffs her hat to God, a.k.a. Mr Sondheim And to Off Broadway and it's semi-professional stage, acting, dancing, audience participation, e-orchestra, and all that.

Maybe it's too long to embed here - 91 minutes. The trailer does it justice.

So here's a link to the full film with Arabic subtitles, or should you prefer, Spanish subtitles. Do let me know if you come across one with English subtitles as it would be really helpful for non-native speakers.

And there's always Wikipedia for stuff. But more than always is Rotten Tomatoes.

Gay men don't get fat

Simon Doonan, who delighted us with the BBC TV series, Beautiful People (45" here), has now published a book called Gay men don't get fat. As soon as I've read it, and find out why he so mistakenly thinks this, and can make such brazen claims, I'll be back to you.

Coincidentally (this word always signals the most tenuous connection, don't you find? It's just an excuse to tell a vaguely related anecdote), I had a beverage with an ex-student of mine yesterday and he was telling me about gay people being fit and fabulous, and how he used to work out in a gym in St Louis USA for 2 months before he even realised that the clientele were of an alternative perusasion. He said that fit freaks are always checking each other out, so it never it occurred to him that he was pumping iron with people who no doubt would have liked to be pumping him. As to the picture attached, can we safely assume that Simon Doonan would refuse to acknowledge the gayness of it all?

Coincidentally (again), today there is a BBC news report Body image: Men 'most unhappy about beer bellies' - nothing to do with gay men, of course.

Bad Romance

How about we start a competition for the most outrageous versions of Bad Romance? This one is definitely in the running.

The University of Oregon rocks. I wish I'd been in their writing class in 1999 (just quoting their website's History page), pre-dating Glee by how long? Oh, and should you be enthused, you can see another performance of the same song by the same people in the outdoors in front of modest crowd of appreciative giggling gals.

BCLD: this says it all, really
