Pickles surprise! What’s the surprise? That there isn’t a suprise.
The suprise is seeing a young Lady Bunny, RuPaul and Latoma Van Sant and Sister Dimension frolicking around in a radioactive green background talking about how to make a “pickles surprise” sandwich with a anthropormophic pickle in farmer drag creepily stares into the camera.
Our art-school gal-pal John Q Sanchez joins Marc and me to discuss in detail the colorful, brilliant work of the late great video artist Tom Rubnitz. Our friend Mister Pussypants has been busy putting up several of his videos on You Tube, and naturally it’s been a hit and inspired hundreds of video responses.
I personally find “Pickles Surprise” to be a tad yucky with that unappealing slice of ham being plopped on a mayonnaise sandwich. I personally think the pink “Strawberry Shortcut” is the stronger of the two videos, which allow a very young Lady Bunny’s charismatic talents to shine.
Don’t think for a moment that just because we’re digging our art critic heels deep into early 90s video art that nothing happened this week! On the contrary.
Jersey city resident Corey Andrew, like thousands of job seekers recently posted his resume on a job hunting site, hoping to land work as a writer, attracting Sgt. Marcia Ramode, an Army recruiter.
Andrew, an openly gay African American man had no interest in joining the Army and so replied back to Sgt. Marcia in a sarcastic tone revealing his sexual orientation. What sparked then was a hilarious and offensive three-day exchange of insults like Sgt. Marcia’s:
Go back to Africa and do your gay voodoo limbo tango and wango dance and jump around and prance and run all over the place half naked there.”
Upon finding out Marcia’s Native American heritage, Mr. Corey replied:
“Native Americans are more intolerant of fools than they are of gays, so take that to your next rain dance.”
I just love a good cat fight, don’t you? Also, lots of talk talk about Disney’s new embrace of gay couples wanting to stage a wedding there andSparty the ambitious lip syncing guy from Guam. Jennifer Hudson, look out!

April 14, 2007 at 15:55Great Podcast, guys. I was born on Guam and lived there for most of my youth. The native people on Guam or those with the native blood are called: “Chamorros” or “chamorus.” There are no pure natives left, however, indivduals with that ancestry identify with that name. Non-Chamorros who live on Guam are called Guamanians.
Loved Sparty!
Love you guys!
