Wow, that was one fucking good show. Miss Ronnie I am here for you with all that college shit, its my first year and general ed classes show Americas youth at is lowest. I was unable to get into Chemistry 180 and now have to take English 100, these kids are fresh from highschool and they don't know one single thing about the real world. I just moved to california three weeks ago, so I was spared from their highschool education system and I thank the lord for that. These kids can form a sentence to save their lives, it makes you think that 5 years of highschool would be a good idea.

The only saving grace of my college is the boy that sits in front of me is one fine piece of ass. I am not sure if he is gay but when he talks purses and pearls pop out. But for his sake I hope he is not. because if he is, his ass is in for a world of hurt. I want that bad.

As for the nude teens, I say more power too them. The majority of Americas youth is so afriad of their own bodies. Sure girl will show their stomachs and wear tube tops but if anyone gets close to seeing their genitals they will freak out. And boys are even worst. I remember I got my friend to go to the gym with me, he would not step foot in the shower room, I told him he won't be riding in my car covered in sweat. So he goes in the shower wearing his work out pants and then changes in the bathroom stall. I think anything to get people to be okay with their bodies (even if they ain't all that pretty) is a good thing.

Nudity is only bad because people make it that way. We should all take some time out when we are alone, or with a lover, to be naked and learn to be comfortable in our own skin. It builds a lot of confidence. Mark and Fausto when you are taking your time out to be nude take a few pictures and email them to me, you know my address.

Thanks for the show, love you guys like a muscle bottom loves a sweaty jockstrap.

Fausto, are you sure you didn't go get a turtle at the pet shop and have Marc take that picture? The hand in that 'Virgin-image' turtle pic looks like yours!

Mom, that hand belongs to an 80+ year old polish catholic woman!

Hi FOF,
First, another great show, congrats! Fausto, Marc, and Ms. Ronnie you have amazing chemistry. Who knows what they put in Diet Fifty/Fifty nowadays, heheh! Regardless, you guys are truly inspired. No other show can so seamlessly go from gospel, to smoked hams, to cunnilingus (speaking in tongues), and then end with an humanitarian effort to rescue Jessica. I hope she starts listening to the show. Anyway, I thought you'd like to have this link to a funny object I found: a dildo MP3 player or as the manufacturer calls it:" an audio-enhanced vibrator".

Now that Ms. Ronnie's got her Coach bag for school, she should have the above. That way she can get thru her "dry spell" while listening to the FOF!!!... or some Barry White.

Okay, I'm not sure about the turtle...

If that silhouette makes me want to worship it, does that make it a Virgin Mary or a vagina???

I feel so torn.

But I have to say, Kate and I went to see the Virgin of the Underpass when it appeared (when was that? two years ago?), and that was the lo-res version. At least this turtle has good contrast.

Hey guys and wonderful woman! Great show today! The bit on the woman getting upset about the naked teenagers struck a chord with me.

When I was younger and living in Tulsa, OK (THE buckle of the Baptist Bible Belt!!) the clubs would close at 2am and then everyone would move to after-hours clubs to work off the alcohol before going home to crash. These clubs were non-alcoholic and usually for people 18 and over. They had to be non-alcoholic to stay open past 2am (Bible Belt at it's best!) and to allow those under 21 to enter. This was wonderful if you weren't ready to go home... at least until there was a movement by the religious groups in the area to make ALL clubs close by 2am.

I was given the opportunity to discuss this movement with someone who agreed with it. Her only argument was "I don't want our children to be going to places like that." I looked her square in the eyes and said, "Ma'am. I'm 24 years old. By passing this ordinance, you are depriving me of an enjoyment in my life that I have a God-given right to have. I go to after-hour clubs to dance and to enjoy the company of my friends. If you are so worried about your children, then I think you should take better care of them instead of depriving others of things they enjoy." I guess it comes as no shock to you that this woman gave me no response. She just turned around and walked away.

I'm thinking someone should be talking to this woman that "suddenly" has issues with skinny-dipping and ask her the same thing.

And, Miss Ronnie, what sort of math are you stuck with this semester?

Wow so much to comment about on todays show. It was great, I allways love to hear Ms Ronnie! Let me start by wishing Chesco a Happy Belated Birthday! On the subject of five years of high school, I am against it, but I'm in my fourth year anyway, I might be biased, Ms Ronnie, when you were talking about those thugs you've dated I just had to laugh, funny stuff. Nudists in Vermont, oh baby, If it weren't so country up there I'd be moving to vermont! LOL, Ms Ronnie, good luck in math, I dont like math :-(
Love allways

Ronnie, you have a fabulous voice! When you began singing gospel, all I could think was, "Yolanda Adams, be afraid, be very afraid!!!!" Great job, once again!

Just had to say that Ronnie's lecture about eating well and taking care of oneself has me thinking that I gotta do that. I'm on the other side of 30 and out of shape. I am resolving to do better for myself. I have to say one thing to you, Miss Ronnie: when you talk about other people having beautiful energy, it is because they are mirrors, and they are reflecting your own beautiful, fabulous energy back at you! I'm forever grateful that you decided to come back to the show and keep Fausto and Marc in line. Somebody had to do it...;-)

Thanks to Fausto for reading my comment from a previous episode. Fausto called me "Brian, That Blue Jeans Guy", but it's all good.

Take care, all of you!

Fabulous wonderful show again... Thanks.

Regarding education, I agree with Miss Ronnie about kids in the U.S. had it easier than kids in other countries...

For grades K-4 I went to school in Taiwan, which is at least 10 times more stressful than it was here in U.S. -- I mean you're talking about teachers who would smack you on the hands with a meter stick if you get the wrong answer. I had a teacher once, where her students would receive a smack for each incorrect item on a test -- so it was routine for me to get smacked like 15 to 20 times on every test.

Then there's mountains of homework when I got home. It was not a couple of hours of homework like it is here, but we're talking homework that would took like 4 to 6 hrs to do. So I was routinely staying up until midnight and 1am everyday between like 1st and 4th grade (Maybe that's why I'm such a night owl now).

To add on to that, students had to take tests for *EVERYTHING*. I mean, I remember taking tests every two to three weeks or so. And these weren't quizes -- they would have been like finals in the U.S.

On top of all that, it was a system where the exiting test between each school (e.g. between elementry and jr high, jr. high and high school, and between high school and college) determines whether you'd get into a good school for the next grade (or even get to go to a school, for that matter) -- and you don't get a second chance.

So imagine my surprise and delight, when my family moved to U.S. and I was thinking it was so easy here in the U.S.... I think this system was pretty much the same throughout east Asia.

There are cultural influences here, of course, as well as other factors. But there are also consequences to it -- kids there aren't encouraged to be creative in that system. They can be very analytical, but then when it comes to creativity -- it is almost non-existent.

Another thing is, I don't understand what all the fuss is about dating a person who is HIV+, for those us who are not HIV+. As I've said before, my partner is HIV+ (and have been ever since I met him), even though I'm not. I remember when he first told me, I was like o.k., so? I mean, he was more worried about it than I was.

I'm sure, by now, everyone of us are aware of how HIV is transmitted and to always practice safe sex as a rule. Most people are also aware of the advancement of medicine for treating people who are HIV+, even though there is no cure.

I understand the fear of the burdon to have to take care of someone if they ever get sick. I understand the fear for the pain of watching your love one deteriorate and die. I understand the fear of getting the HIV virus and becoming HIV+ myself.

But come on, these are people here -- so just because they're HIV+, they don't deserve to be loved, to have partners, to love someone?

So for those people who are screening people based on their HIV status: would you not be missing out on meeting and getting to know some great and fabulous people who you might love and have wonderful relationships with? And if you become HIV+, that's the way you think you should be treated -- to be rejected based on your HIV status?
