They will cut you. </p>
<p>A Naples Florida guy and his alleged girlfriend were listening to the music by the star of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&#038;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FGlitter-Mariah-Carey%2Fdp%2FB00005TNER%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Ddvd%26qid%3D1211350562%26sr%3D8-1&#038;tag=feastoffools-20&#038;linkCode=ur2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325">Glitter</a> when another car pulled up alongside at an intersection and shouted the fan a <a href="http://www.winknews.com/news/local/19080499.html">derogatory name</a> for grooving to her music. </p>
<p>You can probably guess what was said that quickly turned this cat-fight into a mile-and-a-half shouting match, ending with the Mariah Carey fan throwing a beer bottle back at the non-Mariah loving car, hitting the driver in the head. </p>
<p>Some people will go to any lengths to defend their diva and avoid being called gay. </p>
<p>On today&#8217;s show blogger <a href="http://youtube.com/user/WhatsABoyToDo">Michael Lehet</a> joins us to talk about the Swiss Man who may have spit himself into running for a <a href="http://www.darwinawards.com/">Darwin Award</a>, <a href="http://www.boingboing.net/2008/05/19/fying-penis-disrupts.html">flying Russian penises</a> and how to become a <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,356606,00.html">do-it-yourself oil tycoon.</a></p>
<p>First there was the Asian Tsunami, then Hurricane Katrina and now there&#8217;s the cyclone in Myanmar and the earthquake in China. As the stories and numbers of all these global disasters pile up, Americans seem to mentally give up and turn away from donating to these international causes.</p>
<p>Charities call it donor fatigue, but Lisa Tolin, an AP writer calls it <a href="http://sg.news.yahoo.com/ap/20080520/twl-disaster-fatigue-1be00ca.html">&#8220;Disaster Fatigue&#8221;</a> the psychological condition that people exhibit when the problem seems insurmountable, they give up.</p>
<p>&#8220;The more bad news there is, the less likely people may be to give.&#8221; </p>
<p>So while people are literally starving around the world, decadent New York city restaurants are drumming up publicity desperately by offering a <a href="http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5hmfFMsZrFbTls4W-JhshyVxemLhAD90PJDO80">$175 burger,</a> garnished with truffles and gold leaf. Mmmm gold. </p>

Some business offers an everyday item at an exhorbitant price, and they throw in rare, expensive and unecessary items just for the shock value.</p>
<p>Not to be left out of the loop, we&#8217;re offering our very own diamond covered Feast of Fools t-shirt (made with cruelty-free, vegan diamonds) for the low low price of 7.7 million dollars. Cheap!</p>

<p>This past week their cheif astronomer, the Rev. Jose Gabriel Funes said that the &#8220;vastness of the universe means it&#8217;s possible there could be other forms of life outside Earth, even intelligent ones.&#8221;</p>
<p>Funes said that ruling out the existence of aliens would be like &#8220;putting limits&#8221; on God&#8217;s creative freedom.</p>
<p>So it&#8217;s okay to believe in aliens but not faeries.</p>
<p>Its okay for this centuries old cult, who&#8217;s had a history of stopping scientific and intellectual progress, even imprisoning astronomers like Galileo, to suddenly embrace the possibility that E.T. might be a Jesus loving freak just like them.</p>

Is this large religious body examining the possibility of looking beyond their scripture, maybe even embracing our own sexual diversity as a good thing? </p>

<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/feastoffools/294041711/" title="Everybody run, the homecoming queen has got a gun. by feastoffools, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/104/294041711_8b3a2666b6_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" align="right" class="alignright" alt="Everybody run, the homecoming queen has got a gun." /></a>If you live in New Orleans and love to dress up in drag and look good, stay away from the Burger King. A six-foot, 180 lbs drag queen wearing a necklace that perfectly matcher her dress <a href="http://www.wgal.com/news/16293623/detail.html?rss=lan&#038;psp=irresistible">robbed a Burger King</a> in <a href="http://nutrias.org/facts/careforgot.htm">&#8220;The City that Care Forgot&#8221;</a> last week, by climbing out the takeout window.</p>
<p>Police speculate that the robber was a &#8220;genuine&#8221; drag queen and not some guy hiding behind a weird costume because his outfit was so well put together. Her necklace matched her dress.</p>
<p>Oh cabin fever, spring fever. As the <a href="http://www.imrl.com/">city of Chicago gets invaded</a> by thousands of leather men, rubber fetishists and human dogs you can&#8217;t help but speculate the origins of all this sexual diversity and intensity.</p>
<p>We think it has something to do with chilly weather.</p>
<p>As T.S. Eliot said in his legendary poem: &#8220;April is the cruelest month.&#8221; What he means by that phrase is that springtime is not only a time of reawakening, it&#8217;s a way to let the sexual being inside you flourish. That is great when you have someone or someplace to flourish with, but if you&#8217;re stuck in a bad place, you gotta let that heat out somehow.</p>
<p>We think places where people spend a lot of time indoors may have a factor in nurturing the freak inside. But that really doesn&#8217;t explain people in sunny warm California, so go figure.</p>
<p>I do, I do, I do believe in angels, devils, aliens and faeries, I believe in the Feast of Fools, I believe in crystal light because I believe in me!</p>
