    Don't Eat in Front of the TV Today

    Today is the Fourth of July - a day in which we thank our men and women serving the country, grab a beverage, and cook out with family and friends. Just make sure you go outside and check on the grill around 12pm EST in order to protect your appetite. America's greatest Independence Day tradition takes place once again at Coney Island in Brooklyn as Joey Chestnut looks to defend his Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest title. Apparently, there is some controversy surrounding the length of the competition, because the two brothers that run it have shortened it from 12 minutes to 10. The worst part of that news is that there won't be any records broken and no yakking as time expires. Ever wonder how competitive eating began? Here's a quick history. (Time) If you want a replay of last year's explosive competition, here is the dog-by-dog video. (YouTube)

    As a way to end the work week, most sites will of course honor the upcoming fireworks-laden holiday. We, however, like to do things a little differently. So as we bid you adieu on this 3rd of July, we want to remind you to take a little time over the next few days to not only watch gunpowder explode in the sky, char animal flesh over an open flame, and cook yourself in the carcinogenic sun for hours on end, but also to stop and recognize: Yes, that's right -- Fifth of July. A terrific late 70's play play that was written by openly gay playwright Lanford Wilson, that features a lead character who is in a healthy same-sex relationship, and whose 1982 TV production starred the same-sex-lovin' Cynthia Nixon. Plus, the out gay writer who's speaking to you right now was fortunate enough to have worked on (in a PR capacity) the off-Broadway revival that was staged back in 2003. What can be gayer than all that: Seeing how many fat wieners some dudes can suck down in ten minutes? I think not! So happy Fifth of July, dear readers. Regular G-A-Y updates will resume Monday, July 7. In the meantime, feel free to see what you might have missed over the past seven days: This Week in G-A-Y. **Bonus: After the jump, watch a Fifth of July trailer that some students made for their college production:
