RICHARD GERE-BIL

Ohmigod, this is so sick and genius! Taylor Calvoni's twisted ass sent me this knowing it was right up my (and Richard's) alley! For you youngins, it was widely rumored that Richard Gere was hospitalized in the late 70's. The problem? He allegedly had a gerbil shoved up his ass. It was a hardcore gay thing that I try to explain in this interview with Micael Lucas. (Yes, I know I've posted it before but I have sooo many new fans daily.)

Of course, there is no proof of the Richard's "gerbilling". But about.com addresses the urban legend and even offers this urban hoax which was supposed to be an item in the LA Times:

GERBILLING MISHAP INJURES TWO

"In retrospect, lighting the match was my big mistake. But I was only trying to retrieve the gerbil," Eric Tomaszewski told bemused doctors in the Severe Burns Unit of Salt Lake City Hospital. Tomaszewski, and his homosexual partner Andrew "Kiki" Farnum, had been admitted for emergency treatment after a felching session had gone seriously wrong.

"I pushed a cardboard tube up his rectum and slipped Raggot, our gerbil, in," he explained. "As usual, Kiki shouted out 'Armageddon', my cue that he'd had enough. I tried to retrieve Raggot but he wouldn't come out again,so I peered into the tube and struck a match, thinking the light might attract him."

At a hushed press conference, a hospital spokesman described what happened next. "The match ignited a pocket of intestinal gas and a flame shot out the tubing, igniting Mr Tomaszewski's hair and severely burning his face. It also set fire to the gerbil's fur and whiskers which in turn ignited a larger pocket of gas further up the intestine, propelling the rodent out like a cannonball."

Tomaszewski suffered second degree burns and a broken nose from the impact of the gerbil, while Farnum suffered first and second degree burns to his anus and lower intestinal tract.
