A guest blog in tribute to my dearest Lisa on a completely random day. There is absolutely no reason I’m doing this list today, promise. Completely random. I just love her so much.

1. She writes the best haikus
2. She loves pie. As someone who loves pie’s distant cousin, cake, I can totally relate.
3. She makes amazing french toast (still bothered by the fact that she doesn’t eat it).
4. She talks about how great my hair is…like all the time.
5. I like the way you combs your hair.
6. I like the stylish clothes you wear.
7. It’s just the little things you do.
8. That make me want to get with you. (sorry, creepy, but that song has been in my head for the last 5 minutes).
9. She sends a good postcard.
10. When you get her riled up she’ll insult your sexuality.
11. And probably insult the orifice you most commonly use as a sexual being.
12. She writes great lists
13. To this day, I have never had a hangover as fun as the one with her.
14.  She knows where the best sandwiches are.
15. She likes great beer.
16. She’s Mr. Pibb’s biggest fan.
17. She makes me laugh all the time…and sometimes pee my pants.
18. She loves the Mets and as a fan of a losing baseball team, I can relate.
19. She has an uber comfortable bed.
20. So many things that I want to say, you know I like my girls a little bit older. I don’t want to lose your love tonight.

Wszystkiego najlepszego z okazji urodzin Lisa! Sto Lat!

Kocham Cie,
Tsvel Kuzyn Tadziu (Gay Cousin Ted)

 

Appropriate Responses To Teddy’s Fear of Dying October 5, 2009

Tags: , , ,

Lisa recently tried to calm me down after I explained to her my fear of dying while running the marathon, with statistics about how many people have died at the Chicago Marathon. Here are more appropriate responses:

1. No one with an ass that bangin would ever be allowed to die.
2. I bet your bangin hair will serve as a shield toward any hazards in your way.
3.  You should be more afraid of pooping your pants.
4. Just think of how bangin your ass will be after running 26 miles.
5. As long as you have Taylor Swift on your iPod while running, you’ll be fine.
6. If you do die, you’ll look fabulous in doing it in your cute running shorts.
7. Stop being a fucking pussy and just do the damn thing.
8. I love you.
9. If you don’t die I’ll take you for some cake after. You like cake don’t you?
10. Think of all the hot men who will be waiting for you at the finish line to get a piece of that bangin ass they saw running. Don’t disappoint them!

*Disclaimer: This post includes foul language, references to vaginas, anger and what could be considered racist statements. This is what happens when Lisa and Teddy go to Showtunes night at a gay bar followed by the best beer haus on the planet.

Lisa: I’m not sure I like small dogs. My coworker had a small dog that was really cute, but I didn’t want to touch it out of fear that I’d break it or something.
Teddy: That’s because you destroy everything you touch
____

Teddy: I’m surprised I don’t know anyone here since I’m such a big fucking whore.
Lisa: I’m surprised I don’t know anyone here since I’m such a big fucking fag hag.

Teddy: Have you seen this movie? (in reference to The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas)

Teddy: Umm, hello? Dolly Parton?
Lisa: Hello? Straight?
Teddy: Hello? Whorehouse? Whore?
____

Teddy: Lisa, were you aware that you don’t need pimps to get your daily business done?
Lisa: No, I wasn’t. And now I’m fucking pissed off because that’s 7 years of my life I’ll never get back.
____

Teddy: Omg Lisa, look…it’s you in 50 years! (across the bar was a very old fag hag)
Lisa: Are you fucking kidding me? Are you even fucking kidding me?

Lisa: This is the point in the evening where Sean would just shit himself and die

Teddy: I can take a night off
Lisa: Can you?
____

Lisa: OMG, is this fucking Oklahoma!?
____

Teddy: Do you see that boy over there with the shirt that says “Check Out My Stimulus Package”?
Lisa: Yes, and I want to fucking disembowel him. However, I’ve reconsidered as he’s gay and clearly not a threat to me.
____

Lisa: OMG, more fucking Oklahoma!? Are you kidding me?
____

Lisa: If I wasn’t in the gayest place in America, I’d have meaningless sex with anyone whom talked to me right now.
____

Lisa: You just out-gayed yourself, which I didn’t think was possible.
Teddy: Shut the fuck up
____

Teddy: Lisa, feel better, I just counted 5 women in this room
Lisa: Shut up
Teddy: I just didn’t want you to feel alone
Lisa: Shut the fuck up before I fucking break a god-damn bottle over your fucking head.
____

Teddy: You know the gays totally love this song.
Lisa: Really? I would never have believed that the gays would love something with Olivia Newton John wearing a bedazzled bikini from the 70s. (Xanadu)
____

Lisa: I’m kind of glad I’m here as there is absolutely no chance of getting pregnant tonight.
____

Lisa: I’m nervous. The next time I do something gay it’ll pale in comparrison to this.
Teddy: I know right? The first time you have lesbian sex you’re going to stop her in the middle and say “what the fuck is this shit?”
____

Lisa: This has been the best two days of my life!
Teddy: I don’t doubt it. If I didn’t lead a much more exciting life than you, I’d probably agree.
____

Lisa: Oh look, there are gays over there signing!
Teddy: Remember when I tried to teach you how to sign at the Michigan game? You’d be a really bad deaf person because your fingers are too fucking deformed to communicate.
Lisa: You need to worry about my fingers less and your asshole more.
____

Teddy: I bet that old fag hag was a young fag hag when this video came out (Bugle Boy of Company B)
____

Teddy: Do you think Rachel would enjoy herself at Showtune night?
Lisa: Are you kidding? Rachel would give up all the promiscuous sex in the world for this shit.

Lisa: I fucking hate Moulin Rouge
Teddy: Are you fucking kidding me?
Lisa: I should quiet down or I’ll get shot.
____

Teddy: Oh this song from Moulin Rouge is so great! Sean and Nicole had it for their wedding dance.
Lisa: Sean plays hockey and he had this as his wedding song? I guess we know who wears the balls in that family.
____

(in reference to Lisa’s parents not appreciating the revival of Hair as much as when they were younger)
Teddy: Well I guess that makes sense. If I saw Rent 40 years from now, I’m not sure it would be as emotional or powerful.
Lisa: Oh give me a fucking break. You’d still cry and pee yourself silly.
____

Teddy: OMG Linda Eder! God I love her!
Lisa: Yeah, she’s got a nice voice, but she’s dead right?
Teddy: What?
Lisa: She died.
Teddy: She did not.
Lisa: Yeah, she did, I’m positive of it.
Teddy has a heart attack and nearly starts crying. While shaking he quickly checks his web enabled mobile device to find out if this is true. Luckily, Lisa is a fucking liar and Linda Eder is still alive.
Teddy: No, she’s alive. I can’t believe you just put me through that. Are you fucking kidding me? You found it appropriate to tell a gay that his favorite broadway diva died, while at gay showtune night? What the fuck is wrong with you.
____

(evita is on)
Teddy: Oh look, this is when I used to like Madonna
Lisa: Did that just happen?
Teddy: I’m sorry, but I used to like her. She turned into a slutty, greasy, nasty, trashy, fucking whore. I can’t stand what she’s become.
Lisa: Teddy, it’s time you just accept the way things are.
Teddy: No, I can’t accept what she’s become.
Lisa: I’m talking about me.
____

(as we’re about to leave to go to the Hop Leaf)

____

Lisa: Can we stop first so I can get some cigarettes?
Teddy: Oh sure, you haven’t inconvenienced me once tonight so I suppose it was bound to happen.

____

Teddy: What do you think Jian is doing right now?
Lisa: Probably having committal sex. I feel bad for her.
Teddy: I don’t. Her boyfriend is hot. I’d probably have sex with him if he was a gay man.
Lisa: You’d have sex with him regardless.
Teddy: You’re right. I like asians and he’s hot. He’s a hot asian. Don’t tell Jian.
Lisa: Then don’t write this down.

As heard on the street by some random gay: I knew this Queen in Detroit who looked just like Lilly Tomlin.

Things I Have Found Myself Saying To Lisa On Her Vacation September 6, 2009

Filed under: Guest Blog — theslowginfizz @ 4:26 pm
Tags: , , , , , , , , ,

By Gay Cousin Ted(dy), In no patricular order:

  1. I don’t think we should go to the Hop Leaf as it’s Midnight and we need to be on the road at 6am.
  2. I don’t care what your crazy theories are, Michigan is in the eastern standard time zone.
  3. Lunchables are not tailgating food.
  4. No, I don’t think the McDonalds appear “more friendly” here.
  5. Subsequently, I’m pretty sure the hash browns taste the same.
  6. No, we’re not stopping in Gary, Indiana to sightsee.
  7. Yes, we’re stopping in Kalamazoo, Michigan to sightsee.
  8. If me and Matt want to listen to the entire Britney Spears album you’re going to just have to shut the f up and deal with it.
  9. It would take to long to explain football to you, but I’m really glad we had this conversation.
  10. If Rachel happens to ask, Chicago is indeed closer to New Orleans than New York is. Though, I still think Abita beer tastes the same in either city.
  11. I still don’t understand relationship biscuits but the equivalent in my life might be a big bag of relationship sausages.
  12. I’ll say the word pussy as many damn times as I want to.
  13. We seem to fight a lot in Chicago and Queens but not as much in Brooklyn and Ann Arbor.
  14. Stop apologizing for eating the food at the tailgate we were invited to.
  15. Please don’t walk into church and say “even the churches in chicago are nicer.”
  16. When people come to you to shake your hand during the sign of peace, please don’t start crying.
  17. Did you just perform cunnilingus on the jam?
  18. No, you can’t have anymore jam.
  19. Brick House Pizza is different than Chicago Deep Dish Pizza
  20. Don’t ever ask ask me to not repeat a Jason Mraz song. Ever.

Filed under: Guest Blog — theslowginfizz @ 4:40 pm

Concert Review & Guest Blog: Paul McCartney @ Fenway Park 8.5.09 August 6, 2009

Filed under: Concert Reviews,Guest Blog — theslowginfizz @ 2:10 pm

Paul McCartney is probably the oldest man I’d sleep with if I could put a bag over his sagging face. My thoughts on a magical night…

  1. Fenway Park is wee; there didn’t seem to be a bad seat in the house.
  2. I fully support shamelessly promoting Beatles for Rock Band, especially when they let you play a demo. I got 90% on Here Comes the Sun.
  3. Every show should have pyrotechnics and fireworks. They make me feel warm & fuzzy… literally.
  4. Paul broke out the ucalayly George Harrison gave him and sang a tribute to his friend. This made everyone at Fenway cry. Everyone. It was so beautiful that it could have even made Rachel B. & Lisa cry.
  5. Acoustic Blackbird is like the best song ever…
  6. … except when you give this long back story about how it was written as a reflection of the civil rights movement in the US and describing how far we’ve come…. then the cameras pan across the audience and there’s not a “minority” in sight.
  7. Paul talked about how Jimmy Hendrix meant so much to him and what a wonderful musician he was, but how also how needed Eric Clapton to tune his guitar. Maybe you just had to be there…
  8. Helter Skelter is an f-in ridiculous, hard core, all out song and I was quite surprised that the 67 year old waited until the 2nd encore to play it. And still nailed it.
  9. It’s good to know that Boston fans live up to their reputation.  During a fun little sing-a-long to Hey Jude, he asked just the back of Fenway to sing the, “na na na nananana, nananana, hey jude” and so we did. Then he asked the floor level people to sing it and the people in the back booed them. You’re booing your fellow BoSox fans just cause they have better seats than you? Bitter, much?
  10. I haven’t been so drawn to the awesomeness of a drummer since that one armed guy in Def Leopard.
 

Wedding reception or 1st Birthday Party? June 29, 2009

Filed under: Guest Blog — theslowginfizz @ 4:31 pm
Tags: , , , ,

I have a sneaking suspicion that I went to a wedding reception yesterday under the pretext of a child’s 1st birthday party.  Here’s what I remember, so you tell me what you think:

  1. It took place at Ariana Waterfall.  Yes, there were waterfalls.
  2. We were told that the appropriate dress for this party was semi-formal.
  3. Jian and Rachel posed for wedding photos under what looked like this.
  4. There was assigned seating.  I was at table 13.  closest to the…
  5. DJ.  There was a DJ.
  6. Said DJ played songs like, Celebration, Electric Slide, Cha-cha Slide, and other various songs featured in movies like The Wedding Date & My Best Friend’s Wedding
  7. And when I did what I do best with DJs, he told me that he was told this was going to be a wedding.
  8. After we all got settled in the dinner room from the cocktail hour, the DJ announced that there was going to be a first dance and that it was “man’s choice.”  So the father of the baby chose the mother of the baby for this dance.  Then everyone started clinking their knives on their champagne flutes (oh, cause everyone was served champagne) to get the “parents” to kiss.  And they did.
  9. The father made a toast.
  10. I told the “parents” that I was happy to be sharing their joyous occasion with them.

To be fair, we did sing happy birthday and Rachel held a baby without the world stopping so it’s possible I’m overanalyzing this.

Fuzzy Memories: stuff that happened recently June 12, 2009

Filed under: Guest Blog — theslowginfizz @ 6:47 pm
Tags: , , , , , , , , ,

In the past couple of weeks, activity levels have been at an all-time high, but documentation has been at an all-time low. The correlation makes sense; being out means that we’re not sitting in front of the computer filling in the glamorous events of our lives with extraneously detailed verbiage. Lucky for me it’s Friday and things are winding down at the office…

FUCT and Lady Circus Show 6/4/09

Rachel, my BF and I ventured into Williamsburg (land of the hipsters) to see a show from one of our favorite comedy troupes in a converted warehouse/brothel. Ironically, in Rachel’s last review, she mentioned “gay cirque du soleil” – this show took that concept to a new level. The memories are fuzzy because I was under the influence of Colt 45 and sugar cubes. Here are some highlights:

-         While searching for food we almost went to ‘pumps’ a female strip club

-         While searching for food, we almost asked the tortilla factory for some samples

-         We found a dive bar that’s even too scary for celebrities

-         I found a sugar cube in my bag later that night…

-         Female nudity is nowhere near as funny as male nudity

-         A full person-sized vajine gave birth on-stage to full-sized people. Disturbing.

-         Best line during the acrobatics: that was like the holocaust on fabric

-         Best opening act: Xylopholks

-         Colt 45 doesn’t taste that bad when it’s free

Superhero Celebrity Rehab: The Musical 6/6/09

The weekend before, I got stuck in traffic heading into the city attempting to make my friend’s remake of Romeo and Juliet (blech, I know). The show was surprisingly entertaining, but the point is that I broke 15 traffic laws to get to an 8pm show at 8:15pm. The show actually started at 8:30pm. A similar thing happened on the way to this show, except I got there at 8:14pm and they started at 8:15pm. Although I broke even more laws and ran up 4 flights of stairs, I’d like to thank everyone in theater for this apparent grace period. Lisa, thanks for having faith that I’d make it in time even though I was on Allen and Grand at 7:55pm.

-         This show made me realize how hard superheroes have it. No…not really.

-         We are seriously missing out on the genre of Comic Book Musicals. Let’s get on top of this people!

-         ‘Cocaine plus superpowers’ sounds like an amazing combination

-         Nightmare the Night Stallion/Mare should write a book called “The Secret”

-         Nothing makes me happier than turtle-like elbow pads

-         I need to buy some Fuji water and pop tarts

-         The most unbelievable part of the show is when no one wanted to watch “Transformers” – what kind of crazy alternate universe is this?

-         Every time the villain “Black Hole” came out I thought of the song Black Hole Sun. That made me pretty happy.

-         The Scarlett Letter reminds me of _______ (fill in with that girl you know).

-         If this was a reality show, I’d totally watch it.

Mike Birbiglia: Comedy for a Cause 6/11/09

Rachel, Lori, and I bravely traveled an hour into Jersey by bus, boat, car, and train last night to experience a night of laughs, charity, crying, and martinis. The REED Academy is a not-for-profit school for children with Autism. Mike Birbiglia is our “soulmate of comedy” if you will, and we would follow him anywhere (even to Englewood, NJ). Jon Fisch opened up the comedy show by telling us something about ourselves.Best quote: anyone who writes “likes to laugh” on their dating profile is apparently a raging alcoholic. Rachel laughed. Lori and I looked at Rachel.

-         Even if Lori’s coworker didn’t make us take a ferry and then drive us to the theater, she’d still be pretty awesome

-         Martinis and kobe sliders before a comedy show are always a good idea

-         Nothing makes you feel poorer than being at a live auction where Jimmy Fallon seats sell for $500

-         There are lots of Republicans who don’t appreciate Fox News jokes at auctions

-         Skinny jeans have taken over; even birbigs is wearing them

-         Rachel and I didn’t make a single, inappropriate autism joke last night. It cost us.

-         Oprah only knows how to do one thing – make people cry

-         Hearing a joke for the 15th time and still laughing is a true testament to someone’s comedic skillz

-         Responding to all txt messages with said jokes is also pretty impressive

-         Long bus rides are a great place to bond and catch up…except for the other patrons, who wanted to kill us for sure.
