Sunshine River Tours takes people into the semi wild Florida areas to swim with manatees. I came across their web site and for some reason the video reminded me of being a kid and going to the public pools. I don’t know what that means and I’m not sure I want to find out.

Logo, the gay cable channel, is reviving the great film Sordid Lives as a soap opera. This is going to be, to borrow from ultra gay Brian Rountree, Fab-u-losity! Ok, Brian wouldn’t actually say that, but I thought it would be fun to call him ultra gay.
Back to Sordid Lives. This film didn’t get much attention when it was released years ago. However, it was a smash hit in Palm Springs, where it played non-stop for about 95 years. It was practically a law in the dessert city that you had to memorize at least 5 lines of the film. One didn’t want to flub something of such importance.
This new soap opera looks really good. It’s got almost all of the original characters and even brings Blanche Devereaux back to the warm embrace of the aging gay populace. Rue McClanahan now plays the dead mother harlot that is thankfully alive and raising heck.
If you have no idea what I’m talking about… watch the following preview.

Five foods that cause anal leakage! How could we possibly live without this information?
This reminds me of the fat blocking diet pill that potentially caused explosive diarrhea. I worked great for about a week. I ate sensibly until I couldn’t live without a burrito. That’s when I realized it didn’t have the side effect on me. Instantly it became a morning-after drug. I ate my typical mexican food and popped a pill. Eventually I ran out and didn’t bother buying any more.
My friend Heather the Hussy said it caused here to leave salad dressing in the toilet. A little oil and vinegar anyone?
Frommer’s has such a lovely description of where I live in Paris.
12th Arrondissement (Bois de Vincennes/Gare de Lyon) Very few out-of-towners came here until a French chef opened a restaurant called Au Trou Gascon. The 12th’s major attraction remains the Bois de Vincennes, sprawling on the eastern periphery of Paris. This park is a longtime favorite of French families who enjoy its zoos and museums, its royal châteaux and boating lakes, and its Parc Floral de Paris, a celebrated flower garden boasting springtime rhododendrons and autumn dahlias. Venture into the dreary Gare de Lyon for Le Train Bleu, 20 bd. Diderot (tel. 01-43-43-09-06), in the Gare de Lyon, 12e, a restaurant whose ceiling frescoes and Art Nouveau decor are national artistic treasures; the food is good, too. The 12th, once a depressing urban wasteland, has been singled out for budgetary resuscitation and is beginning to sport new housing, shops, gardens, and restaurants. Many will occupy the site of the former Reuilly rail tracks.
