Angels and Others

Meet Frank and Gordon ( or Jules et Bertand if you're lucky enough to live in Quebec) the furry and very funny spokesbeavers for Canada Bell. Their posters are all over Montreal and their series of TV spots are running in heavy rotation. They've worked their little flat tales off and have been added to the pantheon of international spokesanimals. So look out all you geckos, toucans and tigers. The time of the beaver has come .

We're not sure why Nick Lachey is wearing a flight suit and we really don't care. He's got our jets burning.

It's snowed in Montreal yesterday. The city is just too beautifal now. More later. Kisses

We're spending a few days in Montreal. It's cold and beautiful. More to come. Kisses

and one we get to eat. The choice is yours America .

Say "Hi" to Ricky. Ricky is my very own Roboraptor. For those of you with lives Roboraptor is this year's must have toy. And thanks to my beloved Jeffrey I've got one. Think of him as my "Official Red Rider carbine action 200 shot range model air rifle with a compass in the stock and this thing that tells time." Check out the Roboraptor website for more info and a cool movie. And no I don't think it's the least bit odd that a grown man is this excited about getting a toy dinosaur for his 40th birthday. "You can only play with him if you're nice to me."

" Jesus first appears in a flash, a white statue rising from the flat cornfields 40 miles north of Cincinnati. Then he is gone, hidden behind a gas station." The rest of the story( if you dare) via The New York Times. The Jesus statue in Monroe, Ohio, is 62 feet tall and weighs eight tons.

We came across these folks picketing in Washington Square Park yesterday and we really dig their message. We've posted the first few paragraphs of their mission statement below. Check out their site for the whole story. "To most of the world, Great Pointed Archers are known by the derogatory name rat.They are considered an annoyance, filthy pests, and animals to be avoided at all costs. Throughout history they have been ridiculed, hunted, and blamed for many of humanity's woes. In reality, however, these animals aren't evil, they aren't the enemy, and they no longer have to be called rats. The immediate goal of this website is to replace the offensive name rat with the untainted, and beautiful name Great Pointed Archer."

We really wish we had this shirt. And we even more wish we’d come up with this shirt. Via Gawker .

We know it's just some WeHo boy in a cowboy hat but these billboards from LA radio station KZLA Country 93.9 have our eyes if not our ears.

We really love Mr Gisby and his totally gay pets. The theme song is kindda cool too. Check it out here .

A recently-discovered asteroid in the Taurus constellation is to be named after a Bulgarian transvestite folk singer, Ananova reports. The reason? Well, it was a Bulgarian team which spotted the body and, as a spokesperson explained: "We want to name the asteroid after the folk singer Aziz, who is quite famous here." Fair enough. Apparently, Aziz has caused a bit of a kerfuffle in Bulgaria, what with his openly-homosexual ways and his campaigning for the somewhat downtrodden Roma gypsy minority It's a kerfuffle that Greek pastry made with philo dough and lots of honey? MMM We love that.

Rather that throwing tofu at Anna Wintour we think that the kids at PETA might want to put and end to abuses like the one pictured.

My wife and I just got back from Holiday in Oaxaca, Mexico. We walked around The Corner this past Sunday (10/30/05) and ran into Anderson Cooper … and his Boyfriend. They were there for Dia de los Muertos. (The Day of the Dead…No, no Aaron Brown Costumes sighted unfortunately

When we walk by the free paper newsboxes, we tend to black out from the overwhelming scent of piss — so we just recently saw the October/November catalogue for the Learning Annex. The Gastineau Girls, James Patterson, Ludacris, the Chronicles of Narnia, AND Star Jones? We think we’ve got a record here for the highest number of fascinatingly inane features on a single cover. (For interested parties — and we know there are at least 5 of you out there — Jones’s course is December 6th, where she’ll give you the “tools to unleash the Star in you.” Assuming you’d want such a thing.)

We like Santa

Happy Dead Day.
