Welcome

During my 2005 visit to Minneapolis, being a gay man, I was forced by law to pose with the famed Mary Tyler Moore statue. Sadly, I could find nobody nearby willing to be my Hazel Frederick.

UNRELATED: Last night I went to an open bar / karaoke party hosted by SEIU, where the mayor of Minneapolis led the entire crowd in the Mary Tyler Moore theme song. True story.

TMZ reports:

Flynt fired off a letter to Weiner moments after the politician resigned from Congress earlier today saying, "After having learned of your sudden and compelled resignation from your Congressional post, I would like to make you an offer of employment at Flynt Management Group, LLC in our internet group." Flynt insists, "This offer is not made in jest" and says he is "willing to pay twenty percent more than your former Congressional salary, ensuring that your medical benefits would be equal to what you were previously receiving."

I'd probably have to name the dad on Flipper as my first gay crush.

But not with THIS crowd, I'm betting.(Source)

Shades of the Sassy Best Friend. Randall's YouTube fans are split on this development, of course.

Residents of Grand Rapids, Michigan responded with this video after being named one of America's "dying cities." I hate hate hate the song with a blinding white super-hate, but I have to admit the production is stunning.

Totally NSFW.

For napping at the office. And suffocating, apparently.

OSTRICH offers a micro environment in which to take a warm and comfortable power nap at ease. It is neither a pillow nor a cushion, nor a bed, nor a garment, but a bit of each at the same time. Its soothing cave-like interior shelters and isolates our head and hands (mind, senses and body) for a few minutes, without needing to leave our desk.

An amusing short from the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival.

San Francisco Giants pitcher Brian Wilson has launched a virtual "beard-touching" website.

Whoopsie.
