March 20, 2018You want beer with that pork cloud?
March 20, 2018Another chapter in the continuing story of pork cloud — begun back on the 15th in my posting “I wandered lonely as a pork cloud”:
Yes, pork cloud. What the Bacon’s Heir company has re-named their version of chicharrones, aka (fried) pork rinds, which they believe are so fluffy that they have to be thought of as pork puffs
I find the name irremediably absurd: I see banks of fluffy pork scudding across the sky, and I giggle helplessly.
(#1) Some pork clouds
The company’s latest ad campaign recommends pairings of beers with the various flavors of pork cloud:
Evacuation Day, Removal Day
March 20, 2018March 17th is not only St. Patrick’s Day, but also, in Suffolk Co., Massachusetts, Evacuation Day (of Lord Howe from Boston). And March 15th is not only the Ides of March, but in the Trazwicky (Transue + Zwicky) household for many years also Removal Day (from Palo Alto to Columbus OH). Days for leaving.
Perfectionist in pink sequin
March 20, 2018(Underwear guys, gay male culture, lots of pink, but nothing pointedly carnal. Use your judgment.)
The spur is yesterday’s Daily Jocks ad, for a Marco Marco pink sequin jock-thong, here in two views, with my caption poem:

I Was a Cock-Teaser for Roosterama!
March 19, 2018(There will be plain talk of men’s bodies and mansex, so not for kids or the sexually modest. On the other hand, there’s a lot of playfulness.)
A brief routine from the Firesign Theatre, the fourth track on their compendium album Dear Friends (2001); you can listen to it here. The album has routines from the comedy troupe’s radio shows — highly improvisatory, veering in odd directions in a virtual haze of pot smoke.
It started with some Dick Danger gay porn, which led to the Firesign Theatre and their “The Further Adventures of Nick Danger, Third Eye”, which took me to the cock-tease bit. That then took me to more gay porn, Raging Stallion’s 2013 Cock Tease, and to uses of cock tease / cock-tease / cocktease in general and on this blog.
The family fetish
March 18, 2018(Men’s bodies, mansex, and elaborate incest fantasies, discussed in street language, so not for kids or the sexually modest.)
The raw material for this posting is in two AZBlogX postings:
from 3/16/18 “On the fetish patrol: FamilyDick”, on a March 16th ad for the Michael Lucas FamilyDick line of inter-family gay sex porn
from 3/17/18 “Josman’s family”, on comics by the artist Josman depicting ecstatic interfamilial mansex
There’s a striking difference in the way incest is handled in filmed porn (like Lucas’s FamilyDick videos) vs. printed porn (written fiction as on the nifty.org website, comics like those by Josman), a difference that’s tied to the way gay porn treats identities — by tending to conflate the real-life actors, their pornstar personas, and the characters they portray in particular flicks. The result is that in filmed porn, the (fantasy) incest is only step-incest (typically, pairing stepfather and stepson or two stepbrothers), while in printed porn, the (fantasy) incest frankly and celebratorily pairs father and son or two brothers.
So, yes, this is about porn, but it’s also about the conventions of narrative.
Return to Dover DE
March 18, 2018Yesterday’s Zippy has Zippy and Griffy riffing, as they so often do, on some aspect of popular culture — in this case, on clothing these days:
(#1)
In general, the diners in these strips have no special relationship — via their names, themes, or locations — to the topic of discussion: they’re just places for Zippy and Griffy to exchange opinions.
This particular place is The Hollywood in Dover DE, and Zippy and Griffy have been there at least twice before.
Adam Hillman: rainbows and food
March 18, 2018… among other things in the work of this assemblage artist. Both in one work:
(#1) rainbow lollipops
Hillman’s rainbow works are typically multi-color displays not necessarily organized into the conventional rainbow hues or arranged as in the Pride flag.
Irish loco moco with eggs
March 18, 2018For St. Patrick’s Day, yesterday’s breakfast special at the Palo Alto Creamery. The name loco moco was new to me; the dish turns out to be 20th-century Hawaiian comfort food. Presented here with three conventionally Irish-American twists: corned beef , potatoes (in this case, hash browns), and green food (in this case, asparagus pieces).
Manly St. Patrick
March 17, 2018(Men’s bodies, mansex, and sexual fetishes. Not for kids or the sexually modest.)
… given to exposing his ass, interracial mansex, and golden showers. Not your Irish uncle’s saint.
Intro illustration from Chris Ambidge on Facebook (ultimate source not known):
(#1) Shamrock butts on parade
(The young men appear to be wearing thongs, so that they are not strictly speaking exposing themselves.)
Then, more startlingly, the TitanMen sale for St. Patrick’s Day weekend, showing a black man rimming a white man (sale promo code KISSME). Why?
And finally, in the sextoy section of the TitanMen site, a full-scale replica of an erect penis that pisses on command. In chocolate (black), but also vanilla (white) and caramel (brown). Kinky.
