Love Trace.
That looks like a Jen Hughes cameo. I broke her pipe.
What, is everybody asleep except Max and I? You lazy fuckers. It's Monday morning!
wait...did I miss the gay rugby meat raffle on Hidden Beach?
when did bombo rivera start MNSpeaking?
You can have apple pie,
You can take my mom
Were gonna win the flag
Cause weve got The Bomb
Scrote, did you see me accidentally flame the deaf kid in that other post? That's why I'm practicing late at night. To get back in the swing. I need help, Apollo. Throw a couple soft tosses my way.
don't worry...he's blind too.
I don't know if he's blind or deaf or what, but he sure seemed whiny.
i forgot...you don't do empathy.
Empathy is so 9/11.
Well this one went off the tracks in a hurry.
Good morning!
I was out of town for four days. What'd I miss?
You're just dying for someone to ask you where you were, right Kurtis?
What's all this about hidden meat?
...and gay Islamic rugby?
If I thought it was that interesting, I would just say it Rat.
I, too, want to find the hidden raffles where I can win beach and meat.
Over at the other convention, it looks like the Chuck Olsen vs. Bob Collins feud has reached a peacefull settlement.
PS: They are registered at Target and Kohls. No toasters, please!
Good morning.
This is a lot of crazy for a Monday morning.
Speaking of crazy, belated kudos to vita.com for their best cover yet during their short shelflife.
Gnarls Barkley as American Gothic, in seed art!
Brilliant.
Vita.mn, rather.
I love that Mitch Omer's Hells Kitchen is going to be overrun with Republicans. WWHSTD?
Good morning.
Hi Steve, I'm up.
Why were there 5 MPD Community Service Officers greeting me @ my parking ramp this morning?
Has anyone done a list of "Events for Liberals / Democrats / Ancarchists / Commie Pinkos / General Subversives" taking place during the RNC?
Sure. But they're all BYOG. As in: Bring your own gunpowder.
"Events for Liberals / Democrats / Ancarchists / Commie Pinkos / General Subversives"

Funniest Person In The Twin Cities Semi-Finals
Now Marsh is asleep.
Asleep, or coma? Someone want to drop by his place to check on him, or shall we just dial 911? I'm sure they know his address.
I'm sure he's in a coma... or has been for a long time....
I'm up I'm up.
We've got a lot of work to do today. First up, did Trace make our twin cities look too gay or just gay enough?
Discuss.
What about "not gay enough"? Is that an option?
Really? He interviewed a gay rugby team and the band faggot in the middle of Pride. What would he have to had filmed to make Minneapolis look more accurately gay?
Two men making out...
I think Bixby believes it needed 3+ men making out.
Hell's Kitchen fans, take note. The joint is moving.
What would he have to had filmed to make Minneapolis look more accurately gay?
Rybak jumping off of a Billy Beson designed Pride float.
I'm just saying that some people may not have found it gay enough and those people should be allowed to share their perspective.
Who are these especially gay "some people," Bix? We need concrete examples, please. This is mnspeak for chrissakes.
(panics)
Um...er...Maz!
I think Bixby believes it needed 3+ men making out.
See, now, that would just be perceived as trying to be too much like NYC.
They would have shown that in Portland.
I'm trying to get over it (after all, the banner on the xcel, in St Paul, lists Minneapolis first) but wouldn't it be nice if one of the 10 places listed were in St Paul?
Sorry, I guess Mickey's diner is in St Paul but geez, only that.
I walked by Mickey's this morning. I've always wanted to eat there, but never had time or when i've had time it's full.
(after all, the banner on the xcel, in St Paul, lists Minneapolis first)
You wouldn't believe how worked up some people are about that. Or maybe you would.
The food at Mickey's isn't bad. They do a good bean soup, and they make their own baked beans.

It's got to be better than "isn't bad" if it's good enough to post twice.
Oh what, that was bob. Nevermind.
Oh, I know, Bix! I bet "those people" are locked up like gimps in Minneapolis' proverbial dark dungeon of the soul. By all means, fellows, feel free to break free and contribute here.
But for now, moving on: St. Paulites are more sensitive than the gays. Discuss.
GODDAMNIT MARSH.

I think Bixby believes it needed 3+ men making out.
I think an outlet, like, say Fox News -- as opposed to an obscure Internet site -- might might be looking for a Whole Lot More than that come next week.
Where are the big log cabin parties next week? Saloon? Who's got ins? Holla. smarsh@mspmag.com.
Eva over at "Dump Michelle Bachmann" blog is the only local Log Cabin Republican I know. Ask her, Steve.
You owe max a drink for that link, steve.
Way off this subject, what do you folks suggest I do my birthday on Wednesday. I'm taking the day off from work. Suggestions?
Well, he owes Google a drink for the link.
Go to the fair, Bob. What else?
Is this an open thread, now? Because I do have news that's not about my trip to DC.
I'm trying to get over it (after all, the banner on the xcel, in St Paul, lists Minneapolis first) but wouldn't it be nice if one of the 10 places listed were in St Paul?
No.
I'll still buy Max a drink. Fuzzy navels at the Uni club, Max? Noon on Tuesday work for you?
No. This is not an open thread, kurtis. I only have 12 hours or so until the white coats put me back into custody and we still have a lot of ground to cover.
Where is the best gay Islamic breakfast in town? Hurry, Max! Use that google finger!
Where is the best gay Islamic breakfast in town?
Tuecer's mom makes it, but only as a "morning after" meal. It's still one of the most popular breakfast spots in the Twin Cities.
Marsh: send along those party invites to me too. I'm not invited to any parties as far as I can tell next week. I'm bummed.
