E-mail of the week

No explanation needed really.

The Pride parade is one of the largest pride celebrations in the country and attracts thousands of spectators. We are looking for other DPH departments and staff to represent the dedication DPH has to the LGBT community at this very fun and exciting event. City Clinic will be featuring the Healthy Penis Campaign, three Healthy Penis costumes and our Phil the syphilis sore costume.

If you are interested in joining City Clinic and marching along side our famous penis and syphilis sore costumes, or even dressing up as one of the characters, please e-mail...

Incredibly, when I lived in Germany in high school, I had a friend whose nickname was "Syphi" (imagine the pronunciation in German).

He wasn't syphillitic either. The name stemmed from his nervous stammering over the word while reading aloud in some sex ed class back in 6th grade, and it had stuck for 5 years... Kids are relentless.

hahaha

I keep getting invitations to march in Pride, but never like that. I wanna be Phil the Syphillis Sore...um, actually, maybe not.

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

I can't think it helps anyone get action but... you never know.

OMG THAT'S THE JOB FOR ME!!!!!!

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

Oh hell, ditch what I was planning to wear - a syphilis sore is the ultimate costume!

[usedtobeme.livejournal.com]

haha.

i also have the syphillis figurine..i think it's supposed to be a stress ball.

[epilady.livejournal.com]

Oh, when I'm stressed, I know the first thing I want to do is squeeze a syphilis sore.

I adore my DPH penis. :)

(I'm missing Pride this year, though, I'll be out of town.)

DPH Penis = great band name.

For a while the healthy penis seemed to be a regular outside The Center - getting waved at by a giant penis while you bicycle home one of those quirky things that makes me love living here.

hello wild parrots!

Hello homeless people under the Octavia overpass!

Hello Giant Penis Man and Syphilitic Sore!

Too bad, I can't make it to SF, but now I've got a great idea for a Halloween costume this fall! It's time my four year old learns about sexually transmitted diseases.

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

it's never too soon!

"Look, I'm upset too, but when two armed men demand that you give them the penis costume, you give them the penis costume... Yes, I'm quite sure that's what happened."

Suddenly, I want to move across the country.

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

c'mon, you can get syphilis and healthy peni right where you are I'm sure.

Woah

So when you misread that as Healthy Penis Competition, it sounds really different.

i once had a writing teacher in high school named Phyllis. i hated her and liked to call her Syph to everyone else in the class.

[elevenoclock.livejournal.com]

I had a long-standing conversation with my sig other about how venereal diseases make lovely-sounding names to the unfamiliar ear: Chlamydia Richardson, Syphillis LaFontaine...I guess it stops there. (vaginosis? trichomonas?)

[ilipodscrill.livejournal.com]

i know someone whose aunt was an obstetric nurse. she once had to explain why Placenta was not a great name to give your daughter :)

[elevenoclock.livejournal.com]

no way! i also heard that about meconium! for real, is that an urban myth? or maybe just lots of suggestible dimwitted people with vague notions of what they want to name their children?

[arispurr.livejournal.com]

*gasp!* so, is portland prudish or WHAT? cuz i did NOT see _any_ peni this year. (the radical fairies had a giant penis float last year.) i must have been working too hard...

if i start to feel shy, i'll have to go hang out in the east bay.
