You've heard about sh*tting ice cream cones, how about sh*tting gold?


The other day at work, we were given an early Christmas gift of a box of chocolates and when we ripped the box open we foudn that they were charming little designs, dusted with gold powder, almost too pretty to eat, but not quite. I was joking with the guys that they'd probably turned your pooh glittery the next day. Well, that night I was listening to Mark and Fausto's podcast on Feast of Fools and they were discussing these gold pills so I just had to look them up and get more information. Yours for just $425 for a set of three pills, these little babies will give your pooh a glittery flourish.

Analogous to our culture's obsession with luxury and consumption, these 24K gold leaf capsules turn your innermost parts into chambers of wealth. Consume and digest.

Now I don't know whether you're meant to show off your "episodes" to your friends and family, or whether it's just for your own private enjoyment. Either way, these things are freaky! These are a joke, right?

For your listening pleasure - the Feast of Fools podcast


How do you get to sleep? One of the things that really helps me is to listen to some comedy. Seriously, music keeps me awake but listening to some stand up comedy helps me to drift off. I used to listen to Dr Laura (she's a comedien, right?) but I'm tired of giving that bitch my money and since I've listened to my collection of comedy so many times, I've turned to listening to podcasts instead. One of my very favourites is the Feast of Fools podcast. I was looking for something fun and found them by chance by typing in "gay comedy" in a search on iTunes for podcasts.

Feast of Fools is mainly Fausto Fernós and Marc Felion with occasional turns from Miss Ronnie, Amanda Steinstein, John Q. Sanchez and SAL-E. Oh, these guys are hilarious! They interview a wide variety of guests. This week I've been listening to a drag queen Heklina from the Trannyshack, Cookie Dough and that ex-marine who said he slept with Clay Aiken and did the quarter spin on him "because he wanted to feel all four of my walls" which simply has to be heard to be believed.

Fausto and Marc are campy, witty, snarky and just damn funny. It's like having two of your best gay friends around for dinner and settling down to enjoy listening to them dish on the subjects of the day. They cover all subjects, from gays in society, drag queens, celebrity meltdowns, Britney Spears, cocktail recipe and so on. Oh, just go download the podcast already!
