Phil and Neds X-cellent Adventure....And so begins the tale of two gay buddies who ventured onto the set of 707 Bayards large scale production of The Sex-Files. It was purely innocent at first, but eyebrows quickly raised when the duo, apparently confused by the 12-foot replica of the Washington Monument, foolishly asked, "Which way to LBJ Park?" Choosing not to answer the silly question, host John Swift pointed the couple to the entrance where they automatically set off the metal detector. Without being asked to do so, the young men abruptly removed rings from their body (and I dont mean the rings you wear on your fingers). At this point, John had to call on housemate to escort the duo onto the set and keep them out of trouble. But Dan was unsuccessful. Phil and Ned quickly disappeared without a trace. Were they abducted by aliens? "I dunno," said housemate Marge Horwath. "I was too busy watching the corn stalks sway back and forth!" Bottom of the inning....220 Stockleys Mark Furman recently proclaimed that he is dating a certain Baltimore Orioles outfielder who was rumored to be at 10 Georges July 4th party. But when the media-starved Furman failed to bring the ball player to 117 Atlantics late night pool party as he promised, the crowd retaliated by throwing him into the deep end of the pool. Soon after, someone shouted, "Everyone dive to the bottom!" And instead of diving to the bottom of the pool, the crowd jumped on Mark. Now theres a home stretch even Brady could envy! Inflatable fetish....Make no mistake about it, 1 Robinsons dirty cocktail party was called Afternoon Delight for many reasons: perfect weather, good friends, great hosts, DJ Jack from Fire Island, and a party-going femme-fatale from Down Under. But the most endearing part of the mid-day affair was the presence of an inflatable doll named Trixie. A real live cat on a hot tin roof, Trixie greeted the crowd from above with an enthusiastic wave of the hand, and a wide smile from her lips (both pair). Unfortunately, Trixies presence was only recognized for the first half of the party. Where she went and with whom for the second half is still unknown, but we did notice how much housemate Mike Bartlett enjoyed sitting on the inflatable furniture. If Mr. Bartlett happened to extend his bouncy fetish elsewhere, then at least its good to know he can still turn a Trixie! Housewarming - from the basement up....When Rodney Cook and Charlie Browne decided to have a housewarming party at 224 Country Club, they never imagined their guests would be so generous. Not only did the couple receive gifts and accolades for their beautiful home, they were surprised to find a little housewarming going on in their basement as well. The guests who were "caught in the act" have asked to remain anonymous, but they did explain that they were only helping Rodney and Charlie "break in" the room, a gift they were more than happy to give. When asked what mattresses were doing on the basement floor to begin with, Rodney replied, "All those boys had to do was ask, and I would have told them the basement had already been broken in." Free spirits....When word of a "spirits dance" on 330 Beech Dr. hit the streets, the ears of Rehoboths own Scooby-Doo a.k.a Dan perked up. It was time to investigate what had been called for five years "one of the best parties Rehoboth has seen." So Scooby, with pals Thelma and Daphne, jumped in the Mystery Machine for a ride to the home of Randy and Tommy Marshall-Gibson to solve the case of the dancing spirits. When they arrived, they saw a huge canvas tent with beams of purple and pink light shooting out from beneath. There was music and eye-catching decorations. And there were spirits, dancing under the tent, absorbing the sounds and reflecting the light. In one corner of the dance floor, Scooby spotted friends Brad and Shaggy locked in a loving embrace. "Zoikes!" barked Scooby. "We should save them!" But it was too late - Thelma had already slipped into a pair of Toughskins. As she led Daphne to the dance floor, Scooby realized that all the Scooby snacks in the world werent going to save them. He decided the best thing to do was to simply join the celebration. The moral of this story: Never wear Toughskins to a gay dance party!! If you havent already heard, Madam Sassy LaRue is in town and she hopes you will attend 302 Laurels Back Room Bordello Party from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. this Saturday the 15th. She asks that you bring your very best bedside manner. She doesnt want to have to spank anyone. She also asks that those girls who will be "auditioning" for a one-night gig learn the lyrics to "Hard Candy Christmas." According to Madam LaRue, "Hard candy is all thats being served!" After seeing sexy movie star Matt Damon in Speilbergs new flick, I dont blame John McLaughlin and Mike Smith of 1013 Fifth Street for dedicating a party to him. Its called Saving Ryans Privates! So please help them in their quest to save a portion of the anatomy that is so crucial to the modern day bikini. The retrieval team is being sent out between 7 p.m. and 11 p.m. this Saturday the 15th. After you save Ryans privates, youre going to want to save your own life from the assortment of savages that will be present at 210 New Castles Jungle Party from 9 p.m. to midnight. Its a hot and sticky jungle out there...dress appropriately. The gang at 22 William F. Street is throwing a Special Prosecution Party where everyones a Starr! The chance that Linda Tripp or Monica Lewinsky will make an appearance depends on your willingness to dress up like them. Your hosts promise that top-dollar and a book deal will go to the best look-a-likes. So be there on Saturday, August 22 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Afterwards, take a three hour tour on the SS Minnow from 9 p.m. to midnight at 312 Bayard with Gilligan, the Skipper too, the millionaire and his wife, the mooovie star.....you know the rest! Whatever happened to Gun Control? Squirt Gun Control, that is. Dont expect any answers from John Klenert and his posse from 3 Country Club. Theyve already begun preparations for their annual Squirt Gun Party, which gets larger, wetter and more competitive with each passing year. Get your guns ready, squirting begins Saturday, August 29 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Start saving your pennies because on August 29 from 9 p.m. to midnight, Beach Essentials is hosting a combined dance party and summer end blow out sale in their 33 Baltimore Avenue courtyard. Shopping on a dance floor - what else could a gay man ask for? I must add, that while you do your shopping, pick up something in black because youre going to want to head over to Cloud 9 for The Black Party with DJ Julian Marsh. You wouldnt want to stand out now would you? The Black Party is kicking off at The Double L earlier in the evening, so stop by in your best leather outfit. As a reminder, you have until September 4th to view new works in pastel by Mary Beth Ramsey on display at the Blue Moon. The collection is entitled Oh Pear! and is truly beautiful. And be a part of SUNDANCE...its not too late to sponsor, be a host, donate an auction item, or volunteer for SUNDANCE 98! Contact Steve Elkins or Murray Archibald at the CAMP Rehoboth office at 302 227-5620 for more information. Finally, after next weekend, the nominees for this years Poodle Awards will be in!
