Via Dr. Jeff comes this shot of the drink menu at Jumpin’ Jack’s Seafood Shack in Fire Island’s Cherry Grove. The drink is the invention of their bartender, a JMG reader who used to work at the NYC Eagle and who has been the subject of an Overheard post on this here website thingy. Anyway, I sound delish but I …

I was handed a flyer for National Go Topless Day as I was leaving Central Park over the weekend. Organizers hope to draw attention to public nudity laws that allow moobs but not boobs. The flyers were being handed out by a cute young chick, but the presence of a sign-carrying Raëlian nearby should have tipped me that those very …

Remember how the right-wing eviscerated John Edwards for his $400 haircuts? John McCain wears $500 Ferragamos and lefty blogland is revenging itself into a tizzy. Nation blogger Christopher Hayes notes: If I were a right-wing blogger, and I found out that Barack Obama was wearing Ferragamo loafers that cost $520, I would spend about 50% of my waking hours making …

Via FAILblog, here’s how the McDonald’s in Yass, Australia tells you it’s open for business. This will totally appear on Manhunt profiles in 3….2….1….

Last week after testifying before Congress on the the issues of childhood obesity and exercise, Richard Simmons mused about his interest in running for national office. “I want to have the respect of a Congressman, I want to talk like a Congressman, and maybe, someday, I’ll be a Congressman.” Then, answering about three minutes of follow-up questions, Simmons adopted a …

Aaron and I noticed this on 8th Avenue across from the New York Times building last night.

In a similar vein to yesterday’s FAIL Blog post, my pal and fellow blogger RJ shares Cake Wrecks, a new blog entirely dedicated to bad decisions in cake decorating. I’ll have a head slice, please. It’s full of heady goodness.

Via my latest obsession: FAIL Blog. According to Wikipedia pork faggots are a specialty of southwest England and Wales. Who knew? Also: they are made of offal. Who picked Brit cuisine as their favorite in last week’s Open Thread Thursday? Anybody?

Madonna and A-Rod. Samantha and Lindsay. There. We’re caught up.

Yeah, not very PC…but damn funny. Wait for the last line. UPDATE: For those of you questioning the possibly homophobic intent of the clip’s makers, here is a comment they made on YouTube: “Actually you must have missed the satirical commentary on how we view gay relationships in this country. We find homophobia ridiculous and immature. In the video, us …

Coming this fall, the Tippi Hedren Barbie. They say when she got there, the whole thing started. I think she’s evil! EVIL! (And you know only gay men will be buying this doll.) (Via – Slog)

Someone has finally YouTube’d my favorite New York commercial. The collagened-to-fuck lips! The hair extensions! And the nails! My god, the nails! So you should cawl us! Linda Richman should sue.

Not to be outdone by the Union Square Pillow Fight, yesterday thousands of people crowded Times Square for the Bubble Battle. More pics and videos over at Gothamist and on Flickr. The pillow fight seems more fun, but at least there’s no cleanup from millions of bubbles.

I was going to make a joke about how we should all feel a little more gay today, but it turns out that yesterday was the longest day of the year, the first time the summer solstice didn’t fall on June 21st since 1975. Therefore, if you are as gay as the day is long, you peaked yesterday.

Supposedly the U.S. economy will lose $800M -$900M today because of it. Probably less than John Carpenter has made from it. Bah.

This wacky story has been playing out in the New York tabloids for months, but now there is finally a verdict – and of course, since this is NYC, now comes the lawsuit. A Manhattan hedge fund manager is suing Equinox health club and the stockbroker who slammed him off a stationary bike and into a wall for whooping it …

Amusing, but you’ll have to embiggen to read it. From the 23/6 blog.(Via – Queerty)

JMG reader Lee in SF sends this to us. If millions of Christians suddenly disappear from the face of the Earth as the opening act for Armageddon, Threat Level thinks most nonbelievers will be too busy freaking the hell out to check their e-mail. But if they do log in, now they can be treated to some post-Rapture needling from …
