Can’t all religions be a merit based? Rashmila Shakya, a Nepalese Hindu “living deity” is calling it quits this week, deciding to hang up her arms and gowns to pursue a normal life. I say […]

    Amanda: BEST Marge growl EV-uh. That was sooooo cute!

    Word to the wise — Don’t assume that a company can’t fire you for being gay… If your state doesn’t have workplace non-discrimination laws on the books, read your employee manual and see what it says. Luckily, we’re now protected here in Illinois, because you would be surprised — I know I was, when I found out that sexual orientation was NOT included in the long list of “creed, religion, race, physical disability, etc. etc.” that couldn’t be discriminated against… at the City Colleges of Chicago, of all places!

    Man, wish I had time to get to the Kwik-E-Mart on my lunch hour… it’s due west of Hyde Park. But it’s waaaaay west. I’ll just have to wait and see the pictures!

    Oh, and I just have to ask — Does Marc really have a pair of magenta pants?? (If so, are they corduroy? I think that would be cute.)

  4. I don’t have a pair of magenta corduroys but now I’m thinking of getting them. Maia, the City Colleges of Chicago may not have a non-discrimination policy for gays, but the City of Chicago has had one for years and now the whole State of Illinois is protected.

    Get those magenta pants, Marc, and let’s go boogie! (Okay, I have been rereading Tales of the City… the verb “to boogie” has now been added to my everyday vocabulary)

    Magenta pants made me think of gold pants, which made me think of Leslie and the Ly’s…
    So, naturally, I made a Simpsons avatar of Leslie Hall:

    How could I resist, when the perfect hairdo was available??

    I’m relieved to hear that the City of Chicago explicitly states an lgbt non-discrimination policy… come to think of it, that employee handbook probably hadn’t been updated since the mimeograph machine in the basement broke down in the late 70s… (judging by the way the rest of that place was run!) So I won’t get my panties in a bunch over it.

    Hey, I won a free T-shirt! Woo hoo! Wow, that’s the pay-off for checking old comment boards. (Medium, please!)
    I would also like to buy a DVD from you guys, if you still have those “Best of FOF” DVDs available… please let me know.

    Happy independence! Live free!

    Heya I loved the show today! Actually yesterday now. Amanda is definitely my favorite (though I love all of you equally… you’re like the children that are older than me and have jobs that I never had). I just think she’s so sweet! And I really like her voice. Some may find it grating… but I don’t. It’s like music to my bleeding ears! n_n Just Jorshin’ ya!

    And she likes TMBG. So she’s immediately awesome! I just downloaded the Else but I’m going to buy the real thing when it comes out.

    Keep it up guys! More of what you are doing. I don’t mean the same…. just keep being you! ‘Cuz you guys is the greatestest!

    Love
    -Clay

    My Birthday is October 11th. I finally feel like I’m continuing my family tradition of being born on a holiday; my mom’s the fourth, my grandma’s Groundhog’s Day, and now, I’m National Coming Out Day.

    But speaking of the show, I loved the random topics you guys seemed to go off on (especially the church one), it’s even better if you can’t listen to the full show and catch five minutes or so while on a break from work. *Obligatory concluding comments on love for Amanda*

  8. Comments are our currency Eric! Thanks 🙂

  9. Great show!

    I think the guys at the gym are stll wondering what I’m smiling and laughing at every morning.

    Amanda, you’re still my favorite!!

  10. Amanda, I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone, I too have a deep, deep love for Hugh Laurie. In fact, I think he is my dream man….

  11. Hey Marc much as I luv ya I have to say that Amanda is right about Harvey’s surname. On his commentary on the anniversary edition of Torch Song he says Firesteen.
