I'll see if I can find the pictures of Marc and Fausto in blue-face from that party.

The movie about the faked moon mission was called *Capricorn One.*

I absolutely LOVED Sal-E's "negative" makeup job. I actually thought it was a photographic negative at first glance. If I ever come to Chicago, I may have to let him do some sort of makeup thing on me.

And, thanks so much for the compliment, Fausto!

Have a great weekend, everybody!

Hi Sal-e at first I thought the picture was digitally altered but when I heard the story I could not stop being astonished. Sal-e you are impressively creative, keep up your fabulous way of living!

Sal-E's "Negative" looking is sick! He is so talented. Just want to say that I have really enjoyed this week's shows, love the politics and the astronaut diapers on ebay. Also really like it when Patricia Fernos calls in; intelligent, articulate and such a mom. Keep up the great work guys, it is appriciated.

Sal E is so much fun to listen to. I could only imagine what goes on in his head on a daily basis, trying to come up with new and exciting makeup and costume ideas.

Maybe he should just dress himself up as a big, shiny Retro Button covered in glitter.

M&F... another great podcast. You are definitely staying on my ipod. I can't commute on the ferry without you.

To Sal-E:

Glad to know I was not the only budding queen to twirl around, wishing that starburst effect would appear and transform me into Wonder Woman. Of course, my mother's purse never came into the picture.

Yes, everyone should try it.....
Take a purse and thow it over the shoulder, remove the glasses and then extend your arms out forming the letter "T"and and start to spin..........
If you loosen your Pony tail.....this will give it a real cool effect.....and if you can do it to the music..........Girls and Boys you will feel Free.......................

Now try it in front of your Friends........they will Pee.
Love ya
-SAL-E

Salvador E. is a genius! That negative make-up is so real! Love it!

That AIDS organ donation is so sad, that nurse should be charged with major negligence and end up in prision.

I don't care if it is Barbra Streisand's, I wouln't bid for an used diaper on e-bay!

Such a fun show today!!!
I love it when Sal-E is on!

Sal-E,

From someone who has never been able to improvise even an ad hoc "Mujer Maravilla" outfit (we all have our gifts, that's not one of mine) I'm amazed that this was an improv.

¡Fabulosisimo!

This whole Lisa Marie story brings me to one big point I like to make: Anything weird that happens in the news, chances are it usually took place here in Florida.
Let's start off with this inter-stellar love triangle, then of course the whole chicken-hawk paige boy scandal, and let's not forget the mother who was grilled on that talk show about her missing child who went off to committ suicide afterwards (They just made this into an Law and Order SVU episode), and then here in a suburb of Orlando, some guy takes his wife and son out on to the front lawn and BEHEADS them with a samurai sword for the whole neighborhood to see. Halfway into 2006, Orlando already had DOUBLE the murders it had in 2005. This city called The Villages is a popular town for retirement communities and what do you know, it has the largest STD rate in all of Florida. If I was to do a sex offender search I would find 195 within a five mile radius of my house, while if you were to say look it up for a place like say Kansas City (which has more people than Orlando) there's only 40 for the whole metropolitan area!
As America's scrotum, does Florida just naturally attract the quirkier side of life?

While I usually find the entire show generally funny, there's always one throwaway line that strikes just when I take a drink--today it was Fausto randomly announcing "I'm seventeen and I don't need a governess!" Result: Diet Pepsi sprayed onto laptop--darn you Fausto!

As you've called on my knowledge of medical stuff relating to the issue of the people who had transplant organs from an HIV+ person, I'll do my best to answer despite it not being my area of expertise! I'm 99.9% sure being infected with HIV through a transplant is not a good thing. True, immunosuppressants are used to make sure the body doesn't reject the organ, but I think their use is lessened or discontinued after a time. There's no way to discontinue HIV infection. Also, HIV itself wouldn't be effective as an immune system suppressant--it would only gradually destroy the immune system, progressing on to Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. I think by the time that happened, the organ would already be rejected (if immunosuppressant drugs weren't used). So there's my two pence--someone more knowledgeable, please join in!

One more thing---regarding wearing diapers. I've done this once in my adult life, and really hope I never have to do it again. I was working at a camp for people with disabilities in Minnesota, and was responsible for training counselors, many of whom had never done any personal care work before. My methods were pretty simple, but effective. I had all the counselors do things like brush each other's teeth, feed each other, shave each other's faces (for the guys), practice lifting each other, lead each other around blindfolded for practice with guiding blind or partially sighted people. . .and my favourite was demonstrating how to get an adult size brief (we didn't call them diapers) on someone who was lying down. I had a patented method of "lining up the middle of the brief with the butt crack" that always got them on straight and snug. Something me and my fellow trainers thought of, but decided was going to far, was getting new counselors to wear a brief for a time, to show them how uncomfortable it can be in the summer, and make enough of an impression that they would NEVER forget to check the briefs at least every 2 hours to make sure the person wasn't sitting in wee or poop. For some reason, at the end of the summer, me and two others got dared to try it and have a wee in one. It was nearly impossible to get myself to do it, but I don't like to back down from a dare....and ick....I had to get it off me right away and have a shower! If you do personal care work for people who need to wear Depends or adult briefs, I really think you should try this at least once, to make sure you are always vigilant about keeping the people you work for clean and comfortable--it's what you'd want if it was you!
