Morning Wood
Morning wood is one of several similar slang or colloquial terms referring to the phenomenon of nocturnal penile tumescence (erection) during and immediately following sleep.
When I first started doing the feature in 2005, I always included the subject's name. Back then, I tended to use celebrities or models whose name I could run down. But after getting dozens of young men begging to be featured, a few years went by and the same men who pleaded to be featured were now asking me to remove their name from the post, often because they had left "modeling" behind and were now applying for jobs and grad school and didn't like the idea of something titled "Morning Wood" being associated with their name. After the 10th request -- and as I started to use more "regular' (hot) guys, I deliberately decided to exclude the guy's name, even if I knew what it was.

Song of the Day: 'The Go-Go's Are Riding on a Donut' by Del Guerrero
Del Guerrero writes:
The Go-Go's are not the same without Kathy on bass so, I wrote this song about it.For those don't get the reference, a "donut" is a mini spare tire you use until you can the one you've blown back on the car, which about says it all.
FYI: Since everyone's a critic, the song is a silly little ditty, not a masterpiece.
With the Go-Go's on their farewell tour, many people have again been speculating that there had to be "more" to the story about Kathy's dismissal than has been revealed. Kathy posted this in response:
More on the now-settled lawsuit HERE.House of Schock
Kudos to Marc Hirsh of The Boston Globe for finally asking someone in the band about the split. Drummer Gina Schock was the lucky winner, but her answer (above) has left a bad taste in a lot of fans' mouths. Not only did Kathy play on the album and contribute a song -- Gina wrote nothing -- she was just as involved in touring, doing radio promos, interviews, visiting distributors and all the other things the band did collectively to make the album a success. On top of all that, the Go-Go's themselves were the ones who have always said Kathy was the "final piece of the puzzle" that got them a record deal, so it seems more than a little disingenuous for Schock to act like it could have been anyone in that role. From my own point of view I will say that when I meet other Go-Go's fans, three-fourths of the time they single out "Head Over Heels" or "Vacation" as their favorite song, both of which Kathy co-wrote. The non-Belinda members of the Go-Go's keep bending over backward to say that the band isn't breaking up after the "Farewell Tour," they're just "not touring" anymore. But anyone who knows anything about the Go-Go's knows all they are these days is a touring band, so clearly they're just saying that to save face because Belinda plans to continue doing what she wants as a solo artist and they just don't want to admit they have nothing else going on professionally. The Go-Go's are indeed riding on a donut, and because the missing tire has been irrevocably shredded, it makes sense to park the old car in the garage and begin campaigning for a spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, where all five women will be recognized for what they achieved as a group. It's a shame it's come to this, but sometimes you just have to accept that entertainers you admire aren't necessarily nice people.

The Endless Conversation
This is going to dredge up a 10-year-old debate, but since my work email is accessed through the Gmail app on my iPhone, I feel I have a right: Could ANYONE (even now) explain to me why I would want these f**king conversations that make it impossible to find old emails and/or reply to the correct people? I have the conversation view turned off on my desktop, but cannot on my phone and just wasted 20 minutes trying to re-send an otherwise straightforward email.

A Decade Later, Robert Wone Murder Remains a Mystery
Nice piece in The Washington Blade about the still-unsolved murder of Robert Wone, the married (to a woman) man who spent the night in the house of a college friend who was in a polyamorous relationship with two other men and wound up dead.
On the evening of Aug. 2, 2006, Washington attorney Robert Wone arrived at the townhouse of his longtime college friend Joe Price after spending all day and part of the evening working late at his downtown office at Radio Free Asia. Price, a gay rights attorney associated with the LGBT group Equality Virginia, and his partner Victor Zaborsky and their roommate Dylan Ward – who were also friends of Wone — said later that they invited Wone to spend the night in their guest bedroom so he wouldn’t have to drive home to Oakton, Va., where he and his wife, Katherine Wone, lived. Wone, whose wife says he was straight, would have a chance to visit with his friends and avoid having to drive home late at night only to have to return to D.C. early in the morning for work, the gay men have said.

Comedy Central Cancels Larry Wilmore’s ‘Nightly Show’
With so few women and people of color in late night, it's a shame to see one of them get the ax. But I tried to watch "The Nightly Show" on several occasions and it was just unbearable. Some people are wonderful in an ensemble but not cut out for the lead role. Larry Wilmore seems like a perfect example of this.
