Gay Geek iPhone App Review: My Gay Agenda

by: Waymon Hudson

I just love cheeky gay humor.



mga_top_2.pngI recently got a request on twitter from a new iPhone Application called "My Gay Agenda." My curiosity was piqued by the humor of their tweets so I checked into the App and ended up downloading it.

The calendar/scheduling app describes itself as "witty, discreet and virtually leather bound- sort of like that married advertising exec you met through Craigslist."

That sense of irreverent humor is everywhere in the application, but it also gives back to the community by donating a portion of the $2.99 download cost to Project Angel Food, a non-profit organization that provides daily meals for people homebound or disabled by HIV/AIDS and other serious illnesses.

The App describes itself pretty, well..., aptly:

We've always suspected what your plans were: destroy marriage, recruit children and do lots of cardio. Well, here's the proof: My Gay Agenda is a first-class personal calendar application and hilarious take on what the well-organized "Velvet Mafia" operative would carry.

My Gay Agenda is a powerful personal calendar app complete with ubiquitous event features for all-day events and events that span multiple days. MGA also has a stylish and robust Notes feature and "Today In Gay" - a daily historical synopsis of key "historical events".

You also may occasionally come across handwritten notes unveiling nefarious plans to take over the world ("Eliminate pro-family groups. Call Mom").

The app is a little repetitive of the calender feature on the phone, but I find myself using it just for the sheer humor and kitsch of it. By far the best part is the "Today in Gay" Feature, which could have anything from a Madonna fact to a historical LGBT activist moment on it. And I have actually laughed out loud at the hilarious quips on it about taking down right-wing groups and destroying marriage.

April Winchell, a Los Angeles comedian and voice over actress, and Boston-based writer and blogger Gina Loukareas have really created a funny app:

We envisioned it as a classy, understated sort of up-yours to all those horrible organizations that claim to hold a monopoly on goodness and morality. But we also wanted it to be fully functional and truly useful.

Above all, we wanted it to be funny, snarky and lovingly gay-centric, without being overblown. You should pardon the expression.

They succeeded wonderfully.

It's a fun time connected to a useful app that gives money back to a good cause. It would be better if it synced with your google calender or iCal apps, but the fun factor might just make you switch over and start using it for you calender needs.

Will it change your life? Nope. But it will make you giggle every time you open it. Not many apps can do that.

Q and A

Q: What famous tragic power couple of yore had twins who were named for the sun and the moon?



A: Cleopatra and Mark Antony, in 40 B.C. The twins were a son named Alexander Helios and a daughter named Cleopatra Selene. Helios was the Greek god of the sun; Selene, the Greek goddess of the moon.

Answers to Questions you didn't ask!

Q: Why are many coin banks shaped like pigs?

A: Long ago, dishes and cookware in Europe were made of a dense orange clay called 'pygg'. When people saved coins in jars made of this clay, the jars became known as 'pygg banks.' When an English potter misunderstood the word, he made a bank that resembled a pig and it caught on.

Q: Did you ever wonder why dimes, quarters and half dollars have notches, while pennies and nickels do not?

A: The US Mint began putting notches on the edges of coins containing gold and silver to discourage holders from shaving off small quantities of the precious metals. Dimes, quarters and half dollars are notched because they used to contain silver. Pennies and nickels aren't notched because the metals they contain are not valuable enough to shave.

Q: Why do men's clothes have buttons on the right while women's clothes have buttons on the left?

A: When buttons were invented, they were very expensive and worn primarily by the rich. Because wealthy women were dressed by maids, dressmakers put the buttons on the maid's right! Since most people are right-handed, it is easier to push buttons on the right through holes on the left and that's where women's buttons have remained since.

Q: Why do X's at the end of a letter signify kisses?

A: In the Middle Ages, when many people were unable to read or write, documents were often signed using an X. Kissing the X represented an oath to fulfill obligations specified in the document. The X and the kiss eventually became synonymous.

Q: Why is shifting responsibility to someone else called 'passing the buck'?

A: In card games, it was once customary to pass an item, called a buck, from player to player to indicate whose turn it was to deal. If a player did not wish to assume the responsibility, he would 'pass the buck' to the next player.

Q: Why do people clink their glasses before drinking a toast?

A: It used to be common for someone to try to kill an enemy by offering him a poisoned drink. To prove to a guest that a drink was safe, it became customary for a guest to pour a small amount of his drink into the glass of the host. Both men would drink it simultaneously. When a guest trusted his host, he would then just touch or clink the host's glass with his own.

Q: Why are people in the public eye said to be 'in the limelight'?

A: Invented in 1825, limelight was used in lighthouses and stage lighting by burning a cylinder of lime which produced a brilliant light. In the theatre, performers on stage 'in the limelight' were seen by the audience to be the centre of attention.

Q: Why do ships and aircraft in trouble use 'mayday' as their call for help?

A: This comes from the French word m'aidez -meaning 'help me' -- and is pronounced 'mayday'.

Q: Why is someone who is feeling great 'on cloud nine'?

A: Types of clouds are numbered according to the altitudes they attain, with nine being the highest cloud. If someone is said to be on cloud nine, that person is floating well above worldly cares.

Q: Why are zero scores in tennis called 'love'?

A: In France , where tennis first became popular, a big, round zero on scoreboard looked like an egg and was called 'l'oeuf,' which is French for 'egg.' When tennis was introduced in the U.S., Americans pronounced it 'love.'

Q: In golf, where did the term 'Caddie' come from?

A. When Mary, later Queen of Scots, went to France as a young girl (for education & survival), Louis, King of France, learned that she loved the Scot game 'golf.' So he had the first golf course outside of Scotland built for her enjoyment. To make sure she was properly chaperoned (and guarded) while she played, Louis hired cadets from a military school to accompany her. Mary liked this a lot and when she returned to Scotland (not a very good idea in the long run), she took the practice with her. In French, the word cadet is pronounced 'ca-day' and the Scots changed it into 'caddie.'

Pantene Markets New Shampoo As Best For Masturbating Boyfriend In Shower

CINCINNATI—In an attempt to capture a wider share of the marketplace, the Procter & Gamble corporation launched a campaign Monday to rebrand its popular Pro-V line of shampoos as the leading hair-care product for women with dry, brittle hair who also wish to manually bring their boyfriends to climax while showering.

Jackson’s doctor to be charged with manslaughter

Dr. Conrad Murray will be charged with manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson within the next two weeks, reports Fox News.


A law enforcement source revealed that Jackson's doctor may be arrested as early as next Wednesday, but investigators first want to complete a search of a Los Angeles pharmacy.


They're hoping to charge him with second degree murder, but feel a jury will be less likely to convict unless there's a "smoking gun." In addition, Jackson's dermatologist, Dr. Arnold Klein, who admitted giving Jackson Demerol, will at some point be charged with medical malpractice, but police are concentrating on Murray for now. Murray admitted administering the intravenous anesthetic propofol to the singer just hours before his death.


Murray posted a one-minute video on Youtube Tuesday, but  Broward County prosecutor Kenneth Padowitz calls it a "total PR stunt," adding, "I think what they're trying to do is humanize him, trying to make him seem like this is somebody that maybe you could know and this is not a bad guy — that's what they're trying to do."

Ge-Force

Just finished watching G-Force with my kid and because I love 3D movies- this was a natural! Steve Buscemi played a manic hamster who was rather crazy. Made me laugh when Bruckheimer poked fun at us Canucks with this character. He lived in a log house with a Canadian flag above the door.



Steve's performance alone was worth the $20 ticket price- however I was not impressed with Cineplex charging me $25 for 2 regular popcorns and 2 sodas and a bag of candy!



Oh well - my son is worth it!

Newly Discovered Recordings Reveal Beatles Actually Terrible Group

LONDON—Just days after the discovery of several previously unreleased Beatles recordings in the attic of Abbey Road Studios, fans and critics across the globe have renounced their enthusiasm for the rock and roll band that was once revered by millions. 'This unfortunate find has forced music historians to completely reassess the talents of John, Paul, George, and Ringo,' said Beatles scholar Mark Lewisohn, who has dated the tapes to early 1968. 'These songs are awful. That one sax solo alone has utterly negated the genius of Magical Mystery Tour and Rubber Soul combined. Certainly this missing link goes a long way toward explaining their solo careers.' In reaction to the discovery, Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys has shown dramatic signs of improved mental health.

THE COWBOY

A cowboy appeared before St. Peter at the Pearly Gates.

'Have you ever done anything of particular merit?' St. Peter asked.

'Well, I can think of one thing,' the cowboy offered.

'On a trip to the Black Hills out in South Dakota , I came upon a group of bikers, who were threatening a tree hugging protester.

I directed them to leave him alone, but they wouldn't listen.

So, I approached the largest and most heavily tattooed biker and smacked him in his face ...

Kicked his bike over, ripped out his nose ring, and threw it on the ground.

I yelled, 'Now, back off!! Or I'll kick the sh*t out of all of you!'

St. Peter was impressed, 'When did this happen?'

'Just a couple of minutes ago...'

Ways to keep a healthy level of insanity in the workplace

1. Page yourself over the intercom. (Don't disguise your voice.)

2. Find out where your boss shops and buy exactly the same outfits.

Always wear them one day after your boss does. (This is especially effective if your boss is a different gender than you are.)

3. While sitting at your desk, soak your fingers in "Palmolive."

4. Put up mosquito netting around your cubicle.

5. Every time someone asks you to do something, ask them if they want fries with that.

6. Put your garbage can on your desk. Label it "IN."

7. Determine how many cups of coffee are "too many."

8. Put decaf in the coffeemaker for 3 weeks. Once everyone has gotten over their caffeine addictions, switch to espresso.

9. In the memo field of all your checks, write "for sexual favors."

10. If you have a glass eye, tap on it occasionally with your pen while talking to others.

11. When driving colleagues around insist on keeping your car windshield wipers running in all weather conditions "to keep 'em tuned up."

12. Reply to everything someone says with "that's what YOU think?"

13. While making presentations, occasionally bob your head like a Parakeet.

14. Sit in the parking lot at lunchtime pointing a hair dryer at passing cars to see if they slow down.

15. Ask your co-workers mysterious questions and then scribble their answers in a notebook. Mutter something about "psychological profiles".

What? You mean you don't already do this?
