Are we supposed to encourage eye injuries the rest of the year? Happy Gay Pride Month to everyone! Except me. And all the gay people in Tucson. You see, if we were to go out and celebrate in the streets here in June, well, we’d all die. And not from debilitating eye injuries either. 'Cause it’s hot out there. And I don’t mean, gee, it’s kind of warm and muggy, I mean sole-searingly _hot_. Even if we didn’t die while marching around gaily adorned, we’d be all sweaty. And then everyone would think, “wow, gays are really sweaty people.” And we don’t want that. So, we wait until October, when it’s cooler, and we have Outoberfest. But happy Gay Pride Month anyway. Whee! ---

[overly excited cartoon dog voice] **Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy OH BOY OH BOY!!!** [/overly excited cartoon dog voice] Gay pride weekend later this month down on the waterfront in Portland. I only have two problems with the festival - too much good food and too many pretty, pretty boys… 😃 (and for the record, while I don’t mind _Rainbow Crap_[sup]TM[/sup] all that much, I’m not a big fan of it. It’s all so … _clashy_) ---

Hey, TVGuy, snag me some pretty girls while you’re getting your boys and put them in a holding tank until I get back to the Rose City. And in the meantime, enjoy your pride! I sure am! ---
