A Homo Says What?

I understand that showing food on TV commercials is to remind you to pick up the ever delicious Swanson Dinner, Post Cereal, or whatever preservative loaded snack that is fattening up our children.
I also learned long ago that strange concoctions are used to make food look more appealing. Like a white glue mixture used in place of milk to appear more appealing whilst poured over a bowl of Raisin Bran. Ice Cream is often scoops of mashed potatoes covered in motor oil instead of chocolate syrup. Even the steam coming off of a hot dish is a hidden smoking cigarette.
I can accept all this, because they want to make things look irresistible to us and of course, to buy it. However I cannot quite grasp the way that eggs are portrayed.
I don’t mean hard boiled, but they way I prefer to have mine prepared, those sunny side up beauties I can’t wait to dip my toast into. These are almost always under cooked, RUNNY, SLIMY, and not at all something that I want to eat. So I have some questions for the folks over at Eggland’s Best.If commercial food is made to appeal to us, to the point we jump up, run to the kitchen, and fix ourselves the exact dish we just saw on the screen. Or dash to the local grocer’s to buy some Mr’s Paul’s fishsticks. ( Do you like fish sticks?) Then why do we accept that undone eggs look scrumptious and some thing that we would partake of?
Sunny side up eggs seems to be the most shown types of “cooked” eggs in commercials and the most disapointing in my eyes. I often shout out loud during these ads “Salmonella!”, and am amazed that anyone see’s that and says, “yum”. Sorry i just don’t get it. Yuck! Gross! Ughhh!
Ok I guess I have ranted enough. I think I want to eat now. I think I may stick with some veggies until these images are out of my head.
Love ya for reading,

Okay I haven’t written since the first one, I promise to get better at keeping up on this blog, and help to keep my partner off my back.
Now when I started this blog I did not expect to have to change the name to “A Fat Faggot Says Nothing, cuz’ he is too busy eating blog….”
Back in January of 2008 I weighed 170 pounds. In April of the same year I quit smoking, of which I am so glad and proud of myself. By August, a mere four months later I was weighing in at a hefty 210. Oh yeah! Two-hundred and ten giant mother fudging pounds!!
Now it is October and I have only gained another 5 pounds since August.
I have never weighed this much, and it is very depressing. It does shit for the way I feel about myself. I do understand that one does gain weight after quitting smoking, and my doctor even said that I should’nt worry about the weight gain right away,as it can cause people to start smoking again. I can relate to that,but not accept it.
The other problem is getting motivated to start doing anything about it. Which is something alot of us have problems doing.
The only thing I can say is that I must start doing something fast cuz’ I aint gettin’ no younger!
I’ll write again about this, and maybe that will help to get the ball rolling.
Thanks for reading, I’m not sure I would.

Trying to figure out what I was going to post first on my new blog was a real challenge. I wasn’t sure if I should explain or even if I had the answer to why I started blogging now after I had been podcasting for almost four years.Why should I want to write a blog?I’m not even good at writing.
Yet here I am and here you are reading it,and asking yourself why I would call it “A Homo says What?”
Cause I’m a homo saying what.Or at least I’m saying something from a gay man’s point of view.Although I do hope as a reader you will come to know that gay is only one part of me so I say that this blog will be from a man that happens to be gay who has an opinion on everything.
Enjoy!
Am I supposed to sign a blog?
sincerely,

As a single mom of three, I do need to say that there have been times when my sons are out of fucking control in public and I am too exhausted to do anything about it. I hate those times and I always feel like trailer trash when it happens. I also start wishing someone will help. I know it seems like, “Hey, you’re the parent. It is your job to make your 3 year old stop throwing shit out of the shopping cart.” But sometimes that 3 year old is in the mood to toss some stuff and the groceries aren’t shopping for themselves.
All this rambling to ask, “What do you think the parent should *do* in a situation where they have the kids out in public, they cannot just leave, and the kids are way out of control?”
S’up fellas great short ass show! I listened as I was brewing my latest batch of hombrew that will be on tap for New Years. Hey Carmen, I think we need to rethink all the candy ass offense concerning language. The whole politically correct bullshit phenomenon sweeping the land is corrupting everything. We need to toughen up a little and not be so worried about all these sub groups of America. We are all a member of several of them and if we divide (or let liberals divide) us up, that is a conquorable equation. Sticks and Stones comes to mind and when that happens action is required, but until then some shit is retarded brother no need to enact further repressive legistlation that will be used for means other than what was intended anyway….hey you said yinz love the comments. Advice for Nikol, it’s tough but sometimes you can’t be their friend i.e. they have to fear you at times, just sayin.
Hutch
One more comment, just watched the video. That little kid would’ve been “scruff of the neck” carried outta the store if it was Hutch III just ax him
Well it’s not like I have pumpkin lattes with them and get mani pedis and call them up in the middle of the night when I’ve just slept with an ugly dude and I need to find EC. They know they aren’t my friends.
I am more referring to that oh so specific situation in which a parent has their kids in public and the kids decide to have a bitch fit. What could the parent do in that situation that the public would think is “good parenting”? I am not sure there is an answer. And don’t say “Leave the store” because sometimes it isn’t an option.
Nikol, I know in this day and age of giving kids trophies for coming in last place and not keeping score in some soccer leagues this may sound harsh. I defer to my original post in that at that age there needs to be “fear” of you, as an essential element. That way when this happens you can give them “the look” and they will know what it means. I did it, still do and my son outweighs me by 50 pounds and could crush me if I didn’t draw fast enough haha. BTW he’s 19 and I only smacked him twice in his life, once for stealing and then lying (6 years) then for hitting his sister (8 years).
Hutch, I agree that we don’t need further repressive legislation, whether liberal or the Patriot Act. I don’t want to dictate how anyone else should speak, but I personally try not to use certain words, and I wanted to explain my reasons to the audience.
I could talk about why I don’t like to use the word “clitoris”, but I’d either be preaching to the choir or upsetting lesbians.
Nikol, you asked a question and I finally have an answer. During the incident that we mentioned on the show, the mother did absolutely nothing to control her children. We sat behind her for a few hours, and I didn’t hear her scold them once, even when the one child was turning around or licking the H1N1 off of the train windows. It would have made me less angry if she had tried to control her kids, and if they still misbehaved I would at least have felt some empathy towards her.
And yes, she did seem a little trailer trashy.
Carman, I just want to say that clitorisly I’m in agreement and want to keep it out of the choir, but hope you guys can make it over for New Years…….even if I did smack my kids once in a while and we’re not always in agreement….that’s America brother/sister, buck up……
