Away Message, Bitch!

Daddy needs a rest... so me and my man are off to Puerto Rico until mid-September and I won't have time to update The Poison Pen like I usually do. In the meantime, check out The Blue Dog Speaks and Hortencia Carter's Big Mouth. I'm sure I'll have lots of gossip to report and catch up on when I get home!

I will leave you with some Britney to get you through the tough weeks without me...

Is Bad Publicity Really Better Than None??

One more reason to diss a certain bar I can't stand! Love the bad publicity haha!

From today's Letters in The Washington Blade...

J.R.’s should honor non-U.S. forms of ID
To the Editors:

I am an American living in Canada, and I recently visited Washington, D.C. for a conference. Much to my surprise, one of the city’s venerable gay bars — JR.’s — discriminated against me, denying me entry simply because I don’t live in the United States.

When friends and I went to enter the bar on Saturday, Aug. 24, the employee at the door asked to check my ID. I chuckled, actually, since I certainly don’t look like I am under 21, but it wasn’t a big deal — that is, until the employee told me JR.’s would not accept my driver’s license, issued by the Canadian province of Ontario, as a valid form of identification.

At first I thought he was joking, but he was serious. He told me that JR.’s only accepts U.S. driver’s licenses. He asked if I had my passport on me, but who carries around their passport when they are barhopping?

The employee at JR.’s told me that this was the law in D.C. But that didn’t ring true to me since every other bar I went to didn’t have a problem accepting my Ontario license. But if this is indeed the law, it doesn’t make sense in a world-class city that certainly has its share of international tourists.

In the end, JR.’s was the big loser since my friends (who have U.S. licenses) and I spent our drinking money at the city’s other gay bars. But still, this policy — whether in force by the city or JR.’s itself — is more xenophobic than sensible.

-You know. First - I bet the door guy couldn't even find Ontario on a map. "No honey, that's Malaysia!"
Second, this is so illustrative of what's fucked up about American culture. I've been to about 17 countries and I've NEVER had to show an ID to get into a place to have fun or god forbid drink... except the U.S. I'm so tired of this place sometimes.

Disco Lies!

This is one of the funniest videos I've seen in awhile. The downside is last night when I watched it... I was eating chicken. It's enough to make me go vegetarian...almost.

DILF Wednesdays

Actually I've been too busy to pick a DILF for this week, so instead I have to show something that P snapped a pic of for me in NYC. Next time I'm there I have to stop by this bar and see if I can't find Anderson there...

I'm Just Turning Up Everywhere

Could it be another missed connection for me? What is this one, number 764? LOL Read on...

You tall dark and handsome -- I think your name is Adam?

We stared at each other a few times and you even smiled at me once.

Maybe more next time???!!!

Let's see: Tall? check. Dark? check. Handsome? double check. Adam? check. Halo? check... Hmmm.
Anderson, I told you to stop posting missed connections!

He puts the "W" in Wacked

Is it wrong that I kinda want to see this... and is it wrong to think the guy Oliver Stone got to play the "young" G-Dub is kind of attractive? I need to go shower now...

Britney Invades My Junk Folder!

So the last few days I've betting an unusual amount of spam/junk mail with catchy titles referring to fallen pop-star Britney Spears. It's like these spam people know I love the Brit gossip... Anyway, here are some of my favorite subject lines...

Therapists ask media to stop diagnosing the Bi-Polar Britney Spears

Britney Spears has Fanny Magnets Grafted in to Attract Papparazzi

Kevin Federline to start coffin making factory!

Britney Spears Leaves Earth, Humanity Breathes Sigh of Relief

Britney to give young parents tips on child care

Britney Spears Admits "My Vagina Made Me Shave My Head Bald"

Boys of Summer

I had a great weekend - I watched Margo & Fred's pets Friday and Saturday while they were in NYC, and Saturday night we went out with Sean's friends to Halo and tres tragique JR's but we still had fun. Halo's remodeled upstairs looks REALLY nice, I recommend going to see it. It's like a conversation I was having with one of Sean's friends is that DC really needs more classy options like Halo for drinking - but I've covered that topic oh so many times..

Sunday we managed to get up moderately early and go to Rehoboth Beach for the day. We both had a great time, except the water seemed unseasonably cold. Oh well, we'll be in the Caribbean soon and won't have to worry about that. Did the boardwalk thing and had dinner and a gay bar/restaurant called Aqua Grille. The shirtless waiters in sailor outfits was a nice touch! oh, the food was good too. On the way home we stopped at my namesake, the famous Adam's Fruit Market. Indeed, that should be the name of my life.

It's Just Too Easy

I regret I haven't been posting much in honor of the Olympics that are going on in Beijing right now. Today walking to work I saw the following headline:
"Can Michael Phelps be Topped?"

Oh, do I even have to go there with the sexual puns? Sigh - here's a pic of Michael's stomach, just because.

DILF Wednesdays

Ok, I realize I am late with this - I'm slackin' and forgot my McDreamy/Silver Fox Wednesday special feature. So I'm making up for it by starting an all-inclusive "DILF Wednesdays."

What's a DILF you ask? Well click here to find out. So basically you a) have to be a man, b) preferably be older than me - use your judgment on that one, and c) be hot.

Today's DILF is Patrick Dempsey again, AKA McDreamy. I told you I'd bring him back from time to time.

Sex & the Suburbs

It’s Restaurant Week, in case you haven’t been out eating this week. Restaurant Week tends to be hit or miss – some restaurants really do a spectacular job and others you get the impression they just don’t really care. Sake Club, in Woodley Park, really did a very nice job, and I can’t wait to go back on a regular night. Sean and I ate there Monday night and I think it’s the best sushi I’ve had in the area. A bit pricey normally, but worth it. And they had a very extensive sake menu.

I had a happy hour with friends at The Fox and Hound after work last night – I forgot how when you order, say, a rum and coke there, they give you a glass of rum on ice…with a coke on the side. It’s one of the douchiest places on 17th (next to JRs anyway) but I had fun anyway. I met Margo afterward for tea at Soho. It’s funny to think, for years I went here everyday. Margo, me and others went there without fail every night for a long time. I think the smoking ban changed the place forever, though you can still smell the lingering smoke – I don’t think that will ever air out!

This is sort of a random topic but a conversation last night got me to thinking about living situations. Sean has mentioned a few times the idea of us living together. It’ll be 2, count ‘em 2, years together this fall. Sometimes I think he slips a mention of living together in conversations just to see if I’m paying attention!
So far, I’ve been pretty adept at avoiding the topic: “Live together? Oh look at the bird behind you! What nice weather we’re having!” But I don’t think it’s a topic that’s going to go away as we continue seeing each other.
Up until now I thought the short driving distance between us was kind of a positive thing; he had his life and I had mine and we saw each other when we wanted to. I’m a pretty independent person and the idea of living with someone again kinda scares me, though if I could get along with anyone I’m sure it would be Sean, it would just take some adjusting on both sides. My friends know they don’t have to worry about losing me yet – I don’t see us adopting and taking my kids to soccer practice just yet! Though maybe nesting-phobia does have a little to do with it. If we start going antique-shopping on the weekends, then my friends can worry…

The Lohans vs. My Husband

Hmmm what have I done this weekend? Well I sunned by the pool, until Sean left work early on Saturday, and we had dinner and drinks. Sunday we were going to have brunch with my friends Kim but I got up too late. I got a new suitcase at Nordstrom - my old one has been to 3 continents and is beat to hell, so it was time to get a new one; I also got a driving map of Puerto Rico, as I have rented a Jeep so Sean and I can drive around the island. We also went to my favorite Greek place, Cava for dinner and as usual I ate too much.

Hat tip to Margo for the video where Anderson Cooper, rightly so, criticizes Dina Lohan for the way she exploits/"raises" her daughters. Well, apparently both Dina and Lindsay's father Michael have shot back at Anderson, telling him basically to be quiet... Oh no they did not just go there! That's my husband you're talking about. What the Lohans need to do is back up off my man! Hold my earrings!
[side note - I have never met a woman named Dina who was normal - every Dina I've ever met is crazy. Why is that?]

Oh and does anyone remember THIS gem, where Anderson goes to a leather bondage store? So does he still claim he doesn't want to talk about his sexuality? Hmmm hmmmm.... please. Leather daddy!

Bye Bye Buca

This is for Phillip: What will become now of the giant meatball?

I get things like this from Sean, being a chef, is in the know on all these food-related news. For instance, who knew that last year there "was an heirloom tomato craze" in the culinary world?

Silver Fox Wednesdays

Ok, Margo, I will bring back McDreamy soon - but in the meantime today's silver fox is Brian Paddick. Openly gay former chief of London police.
Did I mention last time I was in London I robbed a bank? No, wait, three banks. And I stole the crown jewels too. I think I need to be interrogated and searched, Brian...

Why So Serious?

Saturday I spent at my building’s pool trying to get more sun. I try to be nice with my neighbors – I have some I really like, but there’s a lot of douchey people I live around that I don’t even bother saying ‘hi’ to. Nevertheless I sunned until a freak rainstorm hit. I met Sean for dinner and we went out for drinks…

More “Ex and the City” Menage-a-trois edition:

So we were out at Windows (aka Widows) for karaoke and ran into a pretty inebriated ex who shall remain nameless (no, it wasn’t Drunky). So he comes over and hangs out with Sean and I, and starts getting touchy-feely with me - and I can see Sean’s patience with the situation quickly filling up. Then ex starts joking “Hey, remember that time Adam got so drunk at Cobalt he started making out with me instead of you!” Awkward…Then, after serenading us with Bette Midler’s “Wind Beneath My Wings,” said ex starts getting touchy-feely with Sean and me both. He even tried kissing Sean on the lips. What’s that saying, two’s company; three’s a crowd. We left pretty quickly. As in Sean and I, not with the ex. Looking back, I owe Sean big-time – he kept his cool when I would’ve tossed someone out the damn window. The center of attention – even when we’re up against the wall!

So last night Sean and I went joined Margo, Fred and Marc to see The Dark Knight, the new Batman movie. I really liked it! I think Heath Ledger’s Joker stole the show – he’s really the most interesting and complex villain I’ve seen in a long time. You actually find yourself rooting for him instead of Batman. The nurse scene was my favorite – I won’t spoil it but while I’m not huge on summer action movies, I do recommend this one. It’s a bit darker and noir than the other Batman movies and underscores what a loss it was when Ledger died.
