That's the nation Reverend C.B. De Love wants. And that's also the nation where shy civics teacher Angela Franklin finds herself. But in her struggle to stop the coming Theocracy will Angela go too far? In her zeal to destroy the opiate of the masses, will she make a religion out of her anti-religion, and join the ranks of the Gangsters for God? Or will she see the folly of blind faith in anything - even the Constitution - and return to Reason?>>; FREE; 2-330pm; at Peacock Meadow in GGPark on JFK Dr. between McLaren Lodge and The Conservatory of Flowers (San Francisco, CA 94117); 415-285-1717; http://SFMT.org

Well, you can find out if the fog will lift for your picnic, or if nude, gay, and cruisey Golden Gate Bridge Beach will be clear or cloudy by checking out SFGate.com's 24/7 online FOG FORECAST at: http://sfgate.com/weather/fog/fogsideclose.shtml AND for swimmers, surfers, and beachcombers, check out the TIDE TABLE at http://sfgate.com/weather AND here are web cams from:

1) SPRING IS HERE! SAT: Urban Iditarod-SF

RJ — Sat, 05 Mar 2005 00:36:05 GMT

HELLO, BOYZ!

This is the Weekly E-mail of the "BOYZ IN THE WOODZ" Online, SF Bay Area Gay & Bi Men's Hiking & Social Club at http://www.BWClub.net To be removed from this list, simply e-mail: BITWClub-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com.

A) BWClub NEWS, WEB LINKS, NEWS ITEMS

* SPRING ARRIVES, in spirit, if not in actuality, with WARM SUN THIS WEEKEND, so let's get out and enjoy it! SATURDAY is the 11th Annual URBAN IDITIROD in SF, your chance to get naked and run through the streets like the freak you always wanted to be (see "---SATURDAY" below for details)! And SUNDAY is our BWClub NUDE SUNDAY HIKE, this Sunday heading back to our beloved GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE BEACH in SAN FRANICISCO, followed by The EAGLE, LONE STAR, LOADING DOCK, and/or BLOW BUDDIES, depending on your scene and activity of preference (see "---SUNDAY" below).

* SO, The RUSSIAN RIVER EAGLE HAS BEEN SOLD (again), and will soon DISAPPEAR, being replaced by a NEW GAY BAR, but NOT an "EAGLE". Proprietor and River area realtor BOB YOUNG has sold the bar to a another local man (supposedly named "Dave:") and his SF business partner, and they'll open the bar under the new moniker "RIVER SKY" or somesuch. THIS SATURDAY Bob is hosting a FAREWELL EAGLE PARTY at about 9pm; supposedly free and open to the public; 16225 Main Street in Guerneville; 707-869-4500; http://www.RussianRiverEagle.com

* SEX HEALTH from the monthly BLOW BUDDIES NEWSLETTER: << Free HIV/STD Testing/Counseling now twice a month at BLOW BUDDIES...stop by and get tested or just ask a question on the first Thursday from 830pm-1030pm, or on the third Friday from 10pm-1230am, both upstairs in a private space above the club. Card-bearing BBD members can get tested at any of the above times, or at Magnet, in The Castro, and get a FREE PASS for BBD! Check out our extensive set of safer-sex information at the club or online! Tell us if it leaves a question unanswered and we'll track down an answer. Here are links to safer-sex information: http://www.blowbuddies.com/test.html; SF City Clinic (low-cost or free testing): http://www.dph.sf.ca.us/sfcityclinic; Magnet (testing and much more in the Castro on 18th): http://www.magnetsf.org >>

* It may be that YOUR HOME STREET ADDRESS IS ON THE INTERNET (Thanks, Bill!): The indispensible search engine GOOGLE has implemented a new feature that allows you to type someone's telephone number into the search bar and hit enter and then you will be given a map to their house. Everyone should be aware of this! Note that you can have your phone number removed or blocked. Think about it--if you give your phone number to a trick, and he turns out not to be the "Mystery Date", but the "Ultimate Stalker/Troll", he may be able to actually look it up to find out where you live. The safety issues are obvious, and alarming. In order to test whether your phone number is mapped, go to: http://www.Google.com, type your phone number in the search bar (i.e. 555-555-1212) and hit enter. If you want to BLOCK Google from divulging your private information, simply click on the Link with your phone number. Removal takes 48-hours. If you are unlisted in the phone book, you might not be in there, but it is a good idea just to check. If your number does come up if you hit map, it will show you a direct map to your house.>>

* GAY ARTIST SOUGHT FOR GREETING CARDS (Thanks, Squeek!): <<looking for gay and lesbian content for e-card website Reply to: anon-60309390@craigslist.org Date: 2005-02-18, 11:20AM PST Hi there. I'm launching an e-greeting card site aimed at the gay and lesbian market. (I'm gay.) It will feature the same kind of ecards you see on BlueMountain, eGreetings, and Yahoo cards but with a gay and lesbian theme. Themes to include love, flirtiness, happy birthday, safer sex, living with HIV/AIDS, breast cancer, anniversary, gay and lesbian pride, "Gee, I'm glad we broke up," "Maybe it's time to consider a little plastic surgery, dearest?," etc. Can be everything from serious to fun to bitchy. Seeking up and coming artists who are looking for exposure, and can deliver EPS, JPG, GIF, or FLASH files. These can be as simple as one-color line drawing, or collages, or a funny FLASH piece. Great if you can provide the words to go with it but don't worry, I'm a copywriter and can do that. Your artwork must be original and I'll need a signed statement providing the usage rights and vouching for the authenticity of the work. Unless you can provide a signed model release and proof that the model is 18 or older, I cannot accept any photography of people. Please send me some info about yourself, what your interests are and - if you can - a URL to see some of your work. Glad to answer any questions you may have. Thanks in advance and look forward to hearing from you! JB Compensation: $5 per static GIF, EPS, PNG or JPG...$10 per animated GIF... $15 per FLASH file>>

* LIKE DEATH? BORED STIFF? CRASH A FUNERAL, suggests the owner of http://www.TheCountyMorgue.com and its Yahoo Group, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TheCountyMorgue:

1. Tell the widow that you're the deceased's gay lover.
2. Ask someone to take a snapshot of you shaking hands with the deceased.
3. Walk around telling people that you've seen the will and they're not in it.
4. Ask the widow if there are fries with that shake.
5. Tell the undertaker that your dog just died and ask if he can sneak him into the coffin.
6. Put a red rubber ball in the mouth of the deceased.
7. Ask the window if that is a banana his pants or....
8. Walk around telling people that the deceased didn't like them.
9. Show up at the funeral service in a grim reaper outfit!
10. Ask the widow "When did Wal-mart started selling caskets?"
11. Toss a handful of cooked rice on the deceased and scream "MAGGOTS! MAGGOTS!" and pretend to faint.
12. When no one is looking put some vampire teeth in the dead person's mouth.
13. Put super glue on his lips right before his wife gives him a last kiss.
14. Ask the widow for money that the deceased owes you.
15. Preach to the widow, "This is why we all should wear condoms!"

* UPCOMING:

-SAT & SUN MARCH 26-27: TRANNYSHACK RENO (Thanks, Ggreg.com!) <<Thank goodness booze fueled hooliganism never goes out of style. Trannyshack Reno heads out to the Biggest Little City Easter weekend per usual, with a crazed crew of fools on charter busses. Traveling in a large gang of similarly inclined souls is always a blast, especially when it involves being out of context and in a wig. The bus is actually really amusing, at least on the ride up before it ends up smelling like the inside of a neglected keg. In Reno Heklina and Peaches Christ are throwing their annual show at the latest dive bar they've rustled up. The charter bus, hotel and show are only $110, which is a steal for this much fun. The Saturday show is at the 1099 Club in Reno, 1099 South Virginia Street. Contact Peaches Christ if you're interest riding on one of the plush coaches.>> $110 for the trip, or $5 just for the show; http://www.Ggreg.com

-SUNDAY MARCH 27: BUNNY JAM (Thanks, Ggreg.com!) <<This is one of the best parties of the year. Hands down, so prepare to be bombarded with enticements and invitations for the fifth incarnation of this wacky, wacky, wacky great event. Imagine a party attended by roughly 600 people. ALL of them but about six out-of-place lost souls in bunny-themed outfits dancing to Christian children's music, while off their nut. Bunny Jam is FANTASTIC, one of my highest recommendations of the year, so get your hot glue gun fired up and start bunnifying. More information soon, orcheck the Bunnyjam web site.>> 8 pm til LATE; $10 FullonBunny, $15 SumBunny, $20 UnBunny; http://www.Ggreg.com

---SUNDAY 2/27 ***OSCAR NIGHT...BLOW A GUY NAMED "OSCAR"***

* The BWClub SUNDAY RAINY DAY MUD HIKE is to WOHLER BEACH & MEADOW on the beautiful RUSSIAN RIVER; FREE; MEET RJ in the PARKING LOT from 11-1115am; here are DIRECTIONS TO WOHLER (and a MAP LINK follows below that): Take Highway 101 North past Petaluma, Rohnert Park, and Santa Rosa. In north Santa Rosa you'll pass exits to Steele Lane, Bicentennial Avenue, and Old Redwood Highway...drive on to the next exit, just past the huge Luther Burbank Center on the right (east) side of the freeway. Take that exit, which is labeled "River Road / Guerneville / Mark West Rd", and bear left off the freeway, turning left (west) at the light and going over the freeway. Continue on past the winery on the left, PG&E substation on the right, through the stoplight at the intersection of Fulton Road, and on for a few miles (about 7 miles), with small, rolling hills on your left and vineyards on your right, past Laughlin, Slusser, and Laguna/Trenton-Healdsburg, and then turn right (north) on Wohler Rd. (If you pass Covey, the Spears Market sign, Mirabel, and/or canoe rentals and campgrounds, you've gone too far.) Follow Wohler over a creek bridge, to the right, and to the left. You'll see the Radford Inn bed & breakfast on the hillside to the north of the intersection at Eastside Road, which leads to Healdsburg...don't take that...continue straight on Wohler as it winds up the hill, past houses, past the old cyclone-fenced beach parking area to the left, and finally to the green steel gate at the east end of Wohler Bridge. Follow Wohler as it turns left past the gate and over Wohler Bridge and the beautiful Russian River. At the other end of the bridge there is a county pay parking lot. Follow the directions by putting $3 (Or is it $4? Use paper dollars - no coins.) in one of the envelopes, sealing it, and depositing it in the slot. ***MEET RJ, bald, bearded leather daddy from 11-1115am, and we'll walk back over Wohler Bridge, and turn left and hop over the green steel gate... it's a 15 minute walk to the beach. We'll follow the paved trail past the Water Agency corp yard, and the dirt road down to the left of the cyclone fence and into the forest. At the end of the forest there is a fork in the trail... the LEFT turn, marked on the sign as "POND / RIVER", is the WRONG way... do NOT go LEFT. We'll continue straight (veer right) directly into the meadow toward where the sign says "BEACH", and on the trail through the meadow and follow the trail straight into the bushes. That end of the meadow would be spotted with naked men cruising (on warm days)... the trail goes through a short forest and dead ends at Wohler Beach on the Russian River! Later we'll hike across the meadow, through the forest, along the cliff, and up along the Jurassic creek. http://BWClub.net

* GOT WATERFALLS? http://www.WaterFallsWest.com/region_ca_sf.html

* NAKED DINNERS IN MANHATTAN: <<NEW YORK (Reuters) - The diners arrived at a nice Manhattan restaurant on a cold February night and stripped off coats, hats, gloves and scarves. They didn't stop there. Skirts, shirts, pants, underwear and stockings all ended up stashed in plastic bags by the bar as the patrons got naked for the monthly "Clothing Optional Dinner." "It's exciting to be in a restaurant nude," said George Keyes, 65, a retired junior high school English teacher. Nude yes, but not unadorned. Keyes, a lifelong nudist, wore a necklace, earrings and a black leather "genital bracelet" with red studs. And white sneakers. The dinner was started by a group of New York nudists who wanted something a bit more elegant than the wilderness getaways and beach resorts they generally frequent. "When you go away on holiday it's more you're roughing it in the woods, whereas this is a really nice restaurant," said Keyes, a member of gay nudist group Males Au Naturel, or MAN. John Ordover set up the dining club about a year ago, recruiting members through word of mouth and the Internet. "Next month is our Easter bonnet event, where everybody has to come wearing an Easter bonnet," said Ordover, a heavyset man with a jovial smile and glasses. Around 30 people arrived for the buffet dinner -- organizers specified no hot soup on the menu -- most of them middle-aged, several married couples, some singles, the youngest perhaps in their 30s.>> http://today.reuters.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?type=oddlyEnoughNews&storyID=2005-02-19T131423Z_01_N18361949_RTRIDST_0_ODD-LIFE-NAKED-DC.XML

* BRITISH NAVY WELCOMES GAYS (Yeah, like THAT'S news? HA! Thanks, anyway, Bill aka Chad James!): <<LONDON (BBC) -- The Royal Navy has become the first section of the British armed forces to join a scheme protecting gay rights. It has signed equal rights charity Stonewall's Diversity Champions Programme to promote fair treatment of lesbian, gay and bisexual recruits. Gay and lesbian couples with a registered civil partnership will also be able to apply for married quarters, in all armed forces, from the autumn. Gay people were legally permitted in the UK forces only in 2000. The Civil Partnership Act 2004, for which Stonewall campaigned, was passed in November and is expected to take effect later this year. Royal Navy spokesman Anton Hanney said the force's existing no-sex policy would remain in place on ships and at naval bases for homosexual and heterosexual staff. He said: "However, from the autumn, as long as gay or lesbian couples have a registered civil partnership, they will be eligible to apply for accommodation in married quarters. "We will be complying with the law. We are obliged to give equal treatment to gay and lesbian partnerships under these terms... this a cross-service policy across the armed forces." During the first year of the Navy's involvement with the Stonewall programme, seminars, pamphlets and specific advice will be offered to servicemen. Stonewall chief executive Ben Summerskill said he was optimistic the Army and the RAF would follow suit. He said forces staff had become so sophisticated and highly-trained that they could no longer afford to lose them as a result of prejudice. Mr Summerskill said: "I think the Navy have been very courageous to engage with this so publicly." The move was described as a "superbly positive" move by Lieutenant Commander Craig Jones, 36, who has been serving with the Navy for 16 years, 11 of which were "in the closet." Lt Cdr Jones, who lives in Sussex Square, Brighton, with his boyfriend, 30-year-old clinical psychologist Adam Mason, said: "It's really nice to see the Royal Navy demonstrating confidence in being able to be so positive about the issue." He said that by joining the scheme the Navy was not actively targeting gay recruits, but rather, trying not to miss out on their expertise. Vice-Admiral Sir James Burnell-Nugent, Second Sea Lord, said: "I am committed to ensuring the Royal Navy has a culture in which all our people are valued for themselves and are thus able to give 100% to their job." The Navy joins 90 other large organisations, with more than two million employees, in the scheme, including BT and IBM.>> http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/pr/fr/-/2/hi/uk_news/4282175.stm

* ALABAMA MAKES SEX TOYS ILLEGAL (Thanks, Bill aka Chad James!): <<WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court rejected on Tuesday a constitutional challenge to an Alabama law that makes it a crime to sell sex toys. The high court refused to hear an appeal by a group of individuals who regularly use sexual devices and by two vendors who argued the case raised important issues about the scope of the constitutional right to sexual privacy. The law prohibited the distribution of "any device designed or marketed as useful primarily for the stimulation of human genital organs." First-time violators can face a fine of up to $10,000 and as much as one year in jail. The law, adopted in 1998, allowed the sale of ordinary vibrators and body massagers that are not designed or marketed primarily as sexual aids. It exempted sales of sexual devices "for a bona fide medical, scientific, educational, legislative, judicial or law enforcement purpose." Georgia and Texas are the only other states that restrict the distribution of sexual devices, according to the court record in the case. Attorneys for the American Civil Liberties Union, representing those who challenged the law, argued that private, consensual sexual conduct among adults is constitutionally protected and beyond the reach of government regulation. They said the Supreme Court's decision in 2003 striking down a Texas sodomy law also created a fundamental, constitutional due process right to sexual privacy. "The evidence shows that this case is not about novelty items, naughty toys or obscene matter. It is a case about human sexuality and extremely intimate acts," the attorneys said. They said Alabama has never explained "why sales of performance enhancing drugs like Viagra, Cialis and Levitra and even ribbed condoms are not similarly prohibited." The attorneys said the state did not contest the evidence that about 20 percent of all American women use a vibrator and at least 10 percent of sexually active adults use vibrators in their regular sex life. A federal judge ruled against the state and found a constitutional "right to use sexual devices like ... vibrators, dildos, anal beads and artificial vaginas." But a U.S. appeals court based in Atlanta upheld the law by a 2-1 vote. The appeals court said it agreed with Alabama that the law exercised time-honored use of state police power to restrict the sale of sex. It rejected the ACLU's argument that the constitutional right to privacy covered the commercial sale of sex toys. Alabama Attorney General Troy King opposed the ACLU's appeal. "This case involves conduct that is both public and commercial -- the sale of sexual devices to the general public in commercial retail shopping centers" and at in-house Tupperware-style parties, he said. King said the law respected "the distinction between public commercial conduct and purely private behavior." He said, "It ... stays out of people's bedrooms." The justices rejected the appeal without any comment or recorded dissent.>> http://groups.yahoo.com/group/1BloatedCockGettingBigger

* CARTOONS ARE GETTING GAYER, TOO:

--"SIMPSONS" LEGALIZE GAY MARRIAGE (Thanks, Bill aka Chad James!): <<CTV.ca Springfield, the home town of television's favourite dysfunctional nuclear family "The Simpsons", is about to become the gay capital of animated America. The same-sex marriage debate has been heating up the Canadian parliament, but the hit television show will also take on the controversial issue in Sunday's episode -- a move that has some U.S. Christian Conservatives upset. As the mayor of Springfield says in a clip of the episode: "Springfield: a place where everyone can marry... even dudes." "I think television is becoming obsessed with homosexuality. In fact I wouldn't put it past people to dig up reruns of Happy Days and have the Fonz come out as gay," said Robert Knight of Concerned Women for America. In the show, Springfield will legalize gay marriage to bring in tourists and Homer Simpson will become an ordained minister over the Internet so that he can marry same-sex couples. And like any tourist initiative, there is a catchy song -- this time, to the tune of Harry Belafonte's Banana Boat. The song goes: "Gay-o, it's OK-o/Tie the knot and spend all your dough." "We don't really take any positions for or against anything, we just like to examine all sides of an issue and I think that anyone who would get their political wisdom from a cartoon might be sadly mistaken," "The Simpsons" Executive Producer Al Jean said. But lots of fans watch for that very reason -- they like the tongue-in-cheek political commentary, sometimes subtle, sometimes blatant. And there are religious messages as well, making it harder for right-wing critics to criticize the animated show. Mark Pinsky, author of "The Gospel According to The Simpsons" told ABC News that there are "Too many intelligent, discerning Christians and evangelicals who've adopted the show, who like the show. I think it would be too dangerous quite frankly, and too marginalizing for other leaders of the Christian right to attack the show". The big mystery that will finally be revealed on Sunday episode is which character will come out of the closet -- but producers aren't talking.>> http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SILVERLAKEm4m AND http://www.CTV.ca

--FINSTONES ARE "WAY TOO GAY" (Thanks, Tom!): <<FLINTSTONES ARE 'WAY TOO GAY' -- Group Seeks Ban on Cartoon, Cereal, Vitamins The ongoing campaign against alleged gay icons in animated cartoons continued today as a newly formed conservative group demanded that television stations stop broadcasting "The Flintstones" at once. Harland Devane, leader of the group Focus on the Flintstones, said at a press conference in Washington, D.C. today that his organization was issuing the demand because, "Quite simply, everything about 'The Flintstones' is way too gay." The conservative activist distributed a memo itemizing over fifty ways in which the self-styled "modern Stone Age family" series promotes homosexuality, but left little doubt that most of his concerns centered on the relationship between the two main characters, Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble. "Their relationship is more flagrantly homosexual than anything in Oliver Stone's 'Alexander,'" Mr. Devane said. He pointed out that Fred and Barney are virtually inseparable, are never seen wearing pants, and live together in the suggestively named town of Bedrock. Noting that the show's theme song exhorts viewers to have "a gay old time," he added that the two men wear hard hats and construction garb while at work, an oblique reference to the construction worker in the classic disco band "The Village People." "Do I believe they are gay icons?" Mr. Devane said. "I abba-dabba-do." He added that Focus on the Flintstones' efforts will not stop at banning the cartoon series from TV, telling reporters that the group is also "taking a close look" at Flintstone-related consumer products such as Flintstone vitamins and cereal. "We are very uncomfortable with Fruity Pebbles," he said.>> http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Man-Hunt AND http://www.borowitzreport.com/archive_rpt.asp?rec=1063
