Can't we be proud in August?
You know what is almost as amazing as equal rights? Photoshop.
Mel: Hey, El?
El: Yes, Mel?
Mel: I missed Pride.
El: Come again?
Mel: Gay Pride. In June. I was busy...with a baby. But now I'm BACK!
El: You're BACK!
Mel: And everyone is busy being proud on Fire Island and in the Hamptons and on Atlantis Gay Cruises in the Baltic.
El: And here you are in NYC...waving a sad little rainbow flag all alone.
Mel: Correct. What's a girl to do?
El: Why don't we use our next show to express our feelings about gayness as well as lots of other stuff?
Mel: Yes! It's OUR show. And we can do whatever we like!
El: We will not be oppressed by the restrictiveness of Only-Pride-In-June!
Mel: We will have Pride in August!
El: It's a crap month if you ask me so I think we're doing a good thing by adding some spirit to it.
Mel: Great. What will we call the show to alert people to the fact that it is gay-ish?
El: How about 'Mel & El: Our HOMOSEXUAL Time of the Month'?
Mel: I think that's awkward on a lot of levels.
El: What about 'Gay Time with Mel & El'.
Mel: Please see my previous sentence.
El: I know! We'll call it 'Mel & El: Our Sorta Kinda Gay Time of the Month'!
Mel: Correct. We have a winner.
El: Now we just need to make a really gay show.
Mel: That's not gonna be difficult, El. It's always pretty gay.
El: 'Mel & El: Pretty Gay'.
Mel: Yeah.
Write it down.
Call a friend.
Let's do this, People.

C is for Cookies! (And Contest!)

Mel & El & Current Events
It was a simpler time.
El: Um, Mel?
Mel: Yes, El?
El: Did you hear about...
Mel: ...the fact that the Supreme Court upheld Obama's health care reform?
El: Er...yeah...but also about TomKat?!
Mel: There was no way to live and breathe and not hear about that.
El: Do you think she'll be Katie Holmes again instead of 'Kate Cruise'?
Mel: Riiiiiight. Remember when the 'Kate Cruise' memo went out?
El: I wish that if I decided to change my name that all news outlets would get some kind of fax about it.
Mel: Yeah, like "Attention all News and Entertainment Media, 'El' shall now be referred to as 'Jazz'.
El: Why would I ever change my name to 'Jazz'?
Mel: I have no idea. I was just going with a hypothetical.
El: Well, it was ridiculous.
Mel: It's five hundred degrees out. My brain is boiling. Leave me alone.
El: Fine.
Mel: Anyway, we shouldn't be joking about The Cruise Family because Xenu is watching.
El: Well, maybe Xenu and his followers would like to come to our show!
Mel: I think we're too sarcastic for Scientology.
El: Good point. Are there funny Scientologists? Only Serious Scientologists come to mind.
Mel: I need to end this conversation before we get put in Scientolo-jail.
El: But tell people that our next show is coming up soon and it's gonna be a doozer.
Mel: Really, a 'doozer'?
El: A Tom-Cruise-er!
Mel: Your brain is boiling. Be quiet.
IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE,
BUT THIS THING IS HAPPENING AGAIN!
(And, apparently, it's gonna be a doozer.)
** And - remember - if you are celebrating a special occasion,
bring a group of 6 or more to the show and you will receive a personalized RAP!
