The Brunching Shuttlecocks have technically moved on to other things

but it's still really, really fun to play with the archive.  Perhaps someday Hell will freeze over, and we'll get a return of the 'Weather in Hell', which is currently stuck on raining eyeballs.

The Weather in Hell



  In the meantime. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you...

Gaydar the Magnificent
 
PS Speaking of Hell, I was talking with a friend the other day, and we decided that every couple should celebrate a 'Mark of the Beast' Anniversary (the gift is Meat).  That is the sixth year, six month, sixth day.  I had been listening to the radio about how the days of each month that match the month's number 1/1, 2/2, 3/3, etc. had a certain name that escapes me now, and then we were talking about his next anniversary and somehow the 666 anniversary came up.  Mind you, this is what happens when you get a Pagan and a Jew with odd senses of humour together. :)  I never made it to mine, which would have been April 25, 1992 (I left with four months to go, and the divorce was final less than a month before that date.)  But then, there was something hellish about that whole thing, for all involved.
 
Anyway, my theory is that if you can get past that, you're doing pretty darn well as a couple, and should applaud yourselves and go out for a nice anniversary dinner.  And if meat isn't your thing, try some of that canned vegetable-protein substitute, which is unholy in and of itself (and that's from a vegetarian)!

By the way, another fun site that isn't updated but is still up is More Weather in Hell from the movie Little Nicky.
