Trantasia

We just watched this show on Showtime called Trantasia which is a beauty pageant.  But unlike Miss America, it's with transsexuals.  The contest was the "Worlds Most Beautiful Transsexual Pageant" and it was from 2006.

I watched it because I thought it was interesting because I am a part of the gay community and so I wanted to watch it.  But I found it interesting how these people live their lives as a female whether it be pre-op or post-op.

This one person said, and this really pissed me off too, "my husband of 7 years and I performed homosexual acts" and something to the effect of "I don't have anything against gay people but some day they are going to have to answer for their sins" or something.  Uh, hello!  You are gay!  Don't kid yourself honey, you are a homosexual with tits.  Whether you have a penis or a mutilated penis turned into a fake vagina, you are still a dude.

I understand that men who feel like they are really women need to have the surgeries and stuff and I don't have anything against that but I do have a problem when they turn against their own people.

This was supposed to be the "World's Most Beautiful Transsexuals" but most of them looked like crazy drag queens ready to do a show and so naturally they didn't win.  The final 8 were picked because they were the most believable looking women.  The rest were not picked because they still looked like dudes in dresses with tits.

Naturally the ones who lost were saying that it was rigged and they claimed sabotage and one of the African American ones claimed that racism is still alive lol.  Hon, it's not racism, it's not sabotage and nothing was rigged.  First of all the one who claimed sabotage looked like the biggest drag queen of the millennium.  Don't kid yourself, if anyone sabotaged you, it was you lol.

The winner was the most believable looking one and she deserves her crown and lol title.  To the rest of them... dude, what a drag.

Build Your Own Castle

Have you ever wanted to build a castle but didn't know how?  I was doing a search on the internet for stained glass window patterns because with my new Versa-Tool I can solder and it says you can make stained glass windows.  I was thinking a regular piece of glass, maybe like from a picture frame and maybe Plexiglas or something.  Put it in a frame then make shapes with wire or something and solder it to the glass then use that gel paint to add in the colors and texture.  Viola you got stained glass.

But I found this instead.  It's a website that has these molds you can buy or they teach you how to make your own molds.  You buy or make the molds then you pour either plaster of paris (which is cheap but chips easily) or the more recommended dental stone into the molds and you let it dry and it pops right out of the rubbery molds.  Then once you have all of your (let's just say) bricks hardened and out of the molds, just bake it and it's all dry and ready to build your castle.

They have detailed instructions on how to do everything like putting the bricks together to form a building and how to glue it all in place and how to paint it all with 3 different colors so it looks authentic.  There are videos too.

It's not just castles, it's also regular houses and space ships too.  It's really cool.  If this is your hobby, like building little houses for your train sets and stuff (like Alec Baldwin in Beetlejuice) then you'll love this website.  You can just use your own imagination and build whatever you want.

Their website addresses are:  www.hirstarts.com and www.castlemolds.com

The molds are not that bad in price if you think about the time it takes this guy to make the molds and the cost of the materials for the molds plus the very fact that he took the time and talent to make all the items that you make from these molds you are saving a lot by buying them from him.  I'm really thinking about buying a mold here and there as I get money for it.  Then just make tons of stuff and put them in buckets as if they are Lego's so when I'm ready to make something I have them all ready made.

KFC Dollar Menu

Talk about your false advertising.  I've been seeing these commercials on TV for the KFC dollar menu where these 2 guys are in the car and the driver is all "you have a dollar menu?" then he looks back to the people in their cars behind them yelling "They have a dollar menu" while the passenger is laughing.

Then there is the commercial with the "spy" asking if they have the secret recipe and asking how much and the guy inside says a dollar.

They show all these things as being a dollar.  Well, we were at the KFC today and their dollar menu had the following products.  KFC Snackers in many different flavors, original, crispy, honey BBQ and one other which I can't remember.  Then they had 2 biscuits for $1 and 2 pies for $1 and 3 cookies for $1.  That's it.

They had several other items for $1.49 and $2.49 but that's hardly a dollar.  Why are things that are a buck and a half or two bucks and a half on the one buck menu?  That's false advertising.

And speaking of false advertising.  We bought 4 KFC snackers, 2 original for Chip and 2 crispy for me.  They were so tiny and we couldn't tell which were original and which were crispy.  But they were so small, I said to Chip we would've been better off going to McDonald's getting the Chicken sandwiches from their dollar menu because they were twice as big as the KFC snackers.

My opinion, go to McDonald's, you get more bang for your buck buck buck.  Pun intended.
