In a twitter exchange between actress Kirstie Alley and Chicago blogger Jeff Ramone over Scientology, Haiti and medicating children, Kirstie gets so frustrated she tells Jeff to play with dicks. I love a good celebrity…

A Minnesota man decided to see if he could teach his child Klingon, so for the first three years that’s all he spoke.
d’Armond Speers (no relation to Britney) has a doctorate in computational linguistics and advices a company, Ultralingua, that develops language and translation software.
So, to torture a kid would you teach them a language that doesn’t exist on the planet? Maybe Dad will teach the kid arameic next?

Some queer Puerto Ricans feel as if they’re from another planet- strangers in a strange land no matter where they go. Negotiating between cultures gives us fresh eyes with which to seek out the infinite possibilities.
On today’s show we’re talking to the hilariously giddy Larry La Fountain, professor of queer studies at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Don’t let the title of Professor fool you- Larry full of laughter and insight.
His new book, Blue Fingernails/Uñas Pintadas De Azul, is a collection of fourteen exotic short stories on sexy subjects like s & m, trannies, prostitution, science fiction, fashion and pornography. We’re happy for Larry that his book is getting good reviews.
Listen as Larry takes a look at living outside of the community you grew up in and what it means to be “the other” in today’s modern world. Are we all like Spock on Star Trek? Why does Fausto identify with B’Elanna Torres from Star Trek: Voyager?
Larry weighs in on whether or not there was a love affair between Lorca and Dalí as portrayed in the film Little Ashes.
Plus our take on the new Star Trek movie, and how time travel is the magical Hollywood eraser that can ignite a beloved science fiction franchise.
Dolly Parton gets a Ph.D. in fabulousness from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville.

We’ve got the Shaker Sisters today- Robyn Monks and Jen Zias, join us to talk about their debut album All Night Through- a fabulous collection of country and pop songs about the trials and tribulations of being a woman, or a gay guy.
Christmas in July comes but once a year or does it? Robyn shares with us her tale of her recovery from sex, drugs and booze. OK, it seems she never recovered from the sex part and we like that! But she’s been sober for a number of years now.
Things for her got out of control when she stayed up one night and decorated her apartment for Christmas. Christmas in July may seem like a good idea when your fueled by booze and drugs but when you sober up and see your house decorated in expectation of the arrival of Old St. Nick you began to reconsider your life.
You can check out the Shaker Sisters at Fitzgerald’s in Berwyn on Wednesday August 13.
The Indian Bible draws controversy from everybody, imagine that! the new Bible depicts Jesus, Mary and Joseph as poor Indian villagers. Mary wears a sari and has a bindi on her forehead and Joseph sports a turban and loincloth. Sadly, Jesus does not have eight arms or an elephant trunk for a nose. The Catholic Churchissued the new Bible to make it more accessible to Indians. Some Christians criticize the new Bible because they feel it doesn’t truly reflect Biblical truths.
Flying dog poop sculpture draws controversy from everybody, imagine that! The creation of American artist Paul McCarthy flew off in a gust of wind and ran into a greenhouse and a power line. The unusual art piece had a safety mechanism that would deflate it in case of bad weather but it somehow failed.
We’re in Vegas everybody! Vegas Vegas Vegas! We chat with Jen and Robyn about favorite places, people and things to do in the City of Sin, which we’ve now renamed the City of Hope.
Remember people, whatever happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, except those STD’s you picked up, so please, use a condom.

The terrible tornado that almost blew the city of Chicago apart on Monday averaged almost 800 lightening strikes a minute. Yeow!
One nice thing about the calamity is that it took place towards the end of Monday night’s Zodiac Wine Tasting event, so suddendly we had to huddle in a men’s bathroom with over 80 men (and some cute women) and several bottles of fine wine for protection. Ooh, yes indeed!
A great time was had by all. Thanks to Big Jones restaurant for the food and the always charming Alpana Singh for co-hosting the event with us.
Click here for photos from the event.
We’re still working hard to raise money to get ourselves to Las Vegas for the podcasters conference and to San Francisco for the final night of Trannyshack

Hey good looking, what you got cooking? If you had said that to a caveman about two million years ago he probably would have said roasted tortoise. Yes, that seems to have been a staple in the caveman diet along with lions and pygmy hippos and elephants.
Web developer Armin Heinrich releases the I Am Rich iPhone application, at the low low price of 999.99 dollars- it’s purpose? To show off how rich and frivilous you are. It does nothing but display a crude picture of a red ruby on your iPhone’s screen. As someone who has guested on this show says “Give me opulence or give me death!”
Heath Ledger’s case is closed! The feds have ended their probe into Heath Ledger’s death, and as a result, Mary-Kate Olsen won’t have to tell them anything. Investigators wanted to ask her where Ledger got the OxyContin or Vicodin that was found in his system, but now they may never know the truth.
Cinderella on Ice goes gay in Australia as the show features a gay couple ice skating. The couple in question are not the stars of the show but a couple at the fabulous ball. Gabrielle Walsh of the Australian Families Association balks at the portrayal and calls it inappropriate. She says that “We need to protect our children. They don’t need to grow up any quicker.” Hey lady, kids don’t care who is gay.
I said beam me up Scotty, not blast me into bits! Deceased actor James Doohan who portrayed Scotty in the Star Trek series remains earthbound as the third attempt to go to outer space failed when the rocket containing his ashes exploded over the Pacific Ocean. After three tries, we aren’t sure if there is anything of him left to be sent into space but we are rooting for you.
Good news! 125 thousand gorillas were found deep in the African Congo. I don’t know how in this day and age that they didn’t know they were there. Where they hiding or something? After all, that’s a population the size of many American cities.
Britney Spears is set to play a lesbian killer in the Quentin Tarantino-directed remake of the 1965 cult classic “Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!” Her character murders with her bare hands and has sex with another girl before the movie ends in a blood bath. Sources say that Tarantino “is convinced Britney will be brilliant… It could turn her career around.” If anyone can do it, Quentin Tarantino can.
