AP reports:
Same-sex couples in some California counties will be able to marry as soon as June 14, the president of the California’s county clerks association said.
Stephen Weir, who heads the California Association of Clerks and Election Officials, said Monday he was told by the Office of Vital Records that clerks would be authorized to hand out marriage licenses as soon as that date, which is a Saturday and exactly 30 days after the California Supreme Court ruled that gay marriage should be legal.
The court’s decisions typically take effect after 30 days, barring further legal action.

I suppose this means I will have to divorce my wife and the state will assign me a dude to marry…
–what’s that? It’s not mandatory?
I’m so embarrassed…
May 28th, 2008 at 5:02 pmWow — how things have changed since I got married in the state of California in 1981. Back then, there was a three-day waiting period from the time you applied for a license until you could marry, plus there was a blood test requirement.
I just looked it up and they’ve done away with both. It’s now as easy to get married in California as it is in Nevada. Easier, actually — in Nevada, you and your partner have to be of opposite sexes.
May 28th, 2008 at 5:07 pmRalph, I hear you have 90 days to pick a dude before the State assigns one. So I guess its not as bad as it could be.
May 28th, 2008 at 5:07 pmI wonder if Fred Phelps and his loony crowd will quit picketing funerals of fallen servicemen and women and start picketing gay weddings?
Nah –

May 28th, 2008 at 5:13 pmHuh. Another gay-themed thread, and another early appearance by The Performance Artist Known as Daryll™.
Fascinating.
May 28th, 2008 at 5:19 pmDaryll, don’t forget Excalibur. Just sayin’.
May 28th, 2008 at 5:20 pmDaryll Says:

I will inform my pastor and will request that we fast that day for a change in California. God said, “whether there be two or three in the midst, I will be there”. We will intercede on those who need heterosexual healing. We will bind and cast out demons. We will bind the devil and his works. We will break the sinful shackles. We will set people free from the homosexual shackles. Jesus is the sheriff and he is dropping the charges that day. On that day, I know the powerful anointing of God will influence some to divert from homosexuality. We will win the day. We have the victory and the devil has lost the battle. We will bind all socialist spirits that are unlike God. The devil will loose his hold on the people of California. I am ready to do battle with the devil and I have my spiritual armor (holy ghost, bible, anointed oil).

Actually we’d all win if you simply shut the fu(k up and went away and lived in a hovel with your entire church group on a distant island………..

Or in Texas. They have had a good bit of experience dealing with crazy religious types. So, if you are FLDS and gay, can you have a mass lesbian wedding?
May 28th, 2008 at 5:25 pmDaryll, I gotta be honest — that wasn’t one of your stronger efforts.
Simply repeating jokes that worked for you earlier isn’t going to cut it in today’s blog-comedy landscape. TPers are more sophisticated than that. We appreciate your act, but you’re not stretching yourself. Not challenging yourself.
Like I said before, Daryll, work on your pacing. A true professional is not just funny, he’s also a craftsman. He knows timing. He knows phrasing. He knows how to make something funny. You’re not there yet, Daryll. You have some raw skill, and you clearly know the culture that you’re making fun of, but you need some craft, man!
May 28th, 2008 at 5:27 pmActually we’d all win if you simply shut the fu(k up and went away and lived in a hovel with your entire church group on a distant island………..
Are you certain they don’t live like that? It kind sounds as though they do. There sure are no educational facilities where daryl lives.
May 28th, 2008 at 5:27 pmThis is for Daryll:
‘Prof. Adams says his research shows that most homophobes “demonstrate significant sexual arousal to homosexual erotic stimuli”, suggesting that homophobia is a form of “latent homosexuality where persons are either unaware of or deny their homosexual urges”.’
May 28th, 2008 at 5:30 pmDaryll - you might need to have a chat with your wife…
May 28th, 2008 at 5:31 pmWell, Daryll, I know you don’t do jokes, per se — you’re a performance artist, not a comedian. I didn’t mean to insult you by saying you do mere jokes. You do parody. Satiric comment. We all recognize that.
And your dedication to your character is the stuff of legend, no one can take that away from you.
But your material is veering toward “over the top” lately, and the inspiration seems lacking. I know, it must be tough, trying to parody a culture as over-the-top already as the Religious Right. And you do a fine job of it, considering the challenges.
My only concern is that you’re letting your craft languish as you try to come up with crazier and more outrageous things to say. Don’t fall into that trap, is all I’m saying.
Pay more attention to character development. Give “Daryll” more dimensions. Give yourself some direction in which to advance the character. We’re all rooting for you.
May 28th, 2008 at 5:39 pmWell Daryll, lots of souls would prefer if you’d mind your own freakin’ business for a change.
May 28th, 2008 at 5:39 pmNo jokes. I am on a mission to save souls. If I have to fast June 14th, I will. We are going to remove satan from America. This is God’s country. Jesus is the light of the world.
Daryll seems very sincere in his mission, and I do not want to harm his self-esteem anymore than it already is, but I do have a question for him:
How does gay marriage affect your love life? I mean, what changes are you going to go through when June 14th rolls around? I can see how the law will change those who want to marry the person they love, but I am confused how this change in the law will make you a different person. Daryll, I think Mary is right in post number 15. Daryll, do you like to watch gladiator movies? Ever seen a grown man naked? Oops, sorry, wrong movie.
May 28th, 2008 at 5:40 pmI must respectfully disagree with ralph the wonder llama. Although I agree that the overall quality of Daryll is way down, I do see some indications of improved effort and more old school Daryll what with the wrath and the smiting and all of that weird “eye of mordor” type shit. Now if he would just go off damning someone to hell like he used to, I would be so happy for us all. Also more whore rescuing is always good. I like the fasting as well. It is sort of reminscent of his huckabee hunger strike days
May 28th, 2008 at 5:41 pmralph, it is an insult to jokes to imply that’s what Daryll is doing. Jokes are more respectable than the crap he spews.
May 28th, 2008 at 5:41 pmRalph the Wonder Critic, saving one troll at a time.
May 28th, 2008 at 5:41 pmgum, I do what I can.
May 28th, 2008 at 5:43 pmI’ve never considered being a lesbian but if Daryll was the last man on earth I’d have to give it a go. So Daryll it’s pretty safe to say that if Bambi or whatever your wife’s name is leaves you it’s going to be for a real man so I wouldn’t worry so much about the gay marriage thing.
May 28th, 2008 at 5:43 pmHow long would Daryll have to fast before he got “raptured”?
May 28th, 2008 at 5:45 pmdbadass, I agree with you on the whore rescuing thing. That was a good motif for Daryll.
The fasting, I find kinda self-indulgent.
Drama is about conflict, and Daryll’s character isn’t really suited to internal conflict (although, if he had the courage to go there, imagine the depth of possibilities!). Nope, Daryll’s character is better suited to conflict between individuals. And the whore-rescuing was perfect for that. Complex, exotic, sexy…
I wouldn’t mind seeing Daryll’s writers take him back to Rio next season. If they have the budget, that is.
May 28th, 2008 at 5:48 pmHow long would Daryll have to fast before he got “raptured”?
I think it depends on what he ate the night before. If it was a bad bean burrito, he could go very quickly. Anyone here know CPR?
May 28th, 2008 at 5:48 pmRalph are you going to be doing The Troll’s Studio for Bravo Television? Should we now refer to you as Ralph Lipton? But really, don’t you think Daryll might be a little scary for the first episode.
May 28th, 2008 at 5:48 pmI don’t know anybody here who’d get close enough to Daryll to do CPR on him. I can only imagine what closet he climbs out of to go to church on Sunday.
May 28th, 2008 at 5:51 pmNothing like a government issued permit/license to make you feel free.
May 28th, 2008 at 5:51 pmShayne, I’m available. Do you want to get married? ;o)
~A
May 28th, 2008 at 5:52 pmOooooooooOOOOOoooooOOOOOh, Big D - I’m a’skeert!!!
May 28th, 2008 at 5:57 pmShayne, let’s just say I’m a fan of the arts.
May 28th, 2008 at 5:57 pmMy husband would probably find that very entertaining Leftside Annie. You know how men love that stuff.
May 28th, 2008 at 5:59 pmDaryll, I think it would be funnier if you said, “Hell fire is ten time hotter than a bean burrito”.
Why do I bother? He’s not listening to a word I’ve said. Artists are so headstrong sometimes.
May 28th, 2008 at 5:59 pmHey Daryll, that’s pretty graphic. I’d suggest Preparation H.

May 28th, 2008 at 6:00 pmI am thinking it may not hurt for them to box edition of the “Angel” series. “Angel”, “Avenging Angel”, “Angel 3″ as far as I know there all all there. So serious breakout ideas might be spawned by a viewing of that triology
Really ralph, I think the problem is you give Daryll too much credit. Perhaps pseudo-artist is a better description of St. Daryll.
May 28th, 2008 at 6:01 pmI think the only books Daryll’s peeps read are the Left Behind series.
May 28th, 2008 at 6:02 pmoops add the words “view the” before box.
May 28th, 2008 at 6:02 pmThanks-
I notice Daryll i steering clear of the earlier gay marriage thread. But he did say:
“Keep playing with God and you will feel that fire that can’t be quenched.”
Daryll, we’re not “playing with God”, we’re playing with YOU. Unless you think you’re God.
Don’t dismiss it — it could be a good direction for you to take your character.
May 28th, 2008 at 6:02 pmDaryll that voice you think is Jesus means it’s time for you to take your meds.
May 28th, 2008 at 6:03 pmand fix all the other screwups while you are at it
May 28th, 2008 at 6:03 pmHey, Shayne! That would be cool - we could cover all the sin bases with that one, couldn’t we??
Hoooo boy!
May 28th, 2008 at 6:05 pmWe will set people free from the homosexual shackles. Jesus is the sheriff and he is dropping the charges that day. On that day, I know the powerful anointing of God will influence some to divert from homosexuality. We will win the day. We have the victory and the devil has lost the battle. We will bind all socialist spirits that are unlike God.
Couple points Daryll…. 1) I’m guessing homosexuals that use shackles kind of dig the shackles thing. 2) You may wanna bone up on your red verse bible: If Jesus was anything, he was a Socialist.
May 28th, 2008 at 6:05 pmr
Again Daryll, an indication that it’s time to take your meds.
May 28th, 2008 at 6:05 pmSee, this is what I mean by neglecting your craft. This is just a hackneyed, stock phrase that could be uttered by any boring old American Taliban. We expect more from you, Daryll. We expect an edge. How is “Daryll” ever gonna get his own sitcom if he doesn’t have an edge?
May 28th, 2008 at 6:06 pmGreat, now Daryll had to go call his wife to see what she’s up to.
May 28th, 2008 at 6:06 pmWow. I smell a new hit reality show here! Too bad the title “Hell’s Kitchen” is already taken, eh? ;o)
They could have Heavenly Challenges, you know, saving souls and rescuing hookers and all…? And then, someone could get “raptured” off the show every week!
May 28th, 2008 at 6:08 pmDaryll, get off the phone with Bambi and start posting. You have souls to save, slacker.
May 28th, 2008 at 6:08 pmhey darryl
do you believe in the talking snake?
May 28th, 2008 at 6:08 pmDo you get to call in and vote on which character gets raptured? I don’t do tv but it is my understanding that this is how many of the “reality” contest shows work
May 28th, 2008 at 6:10 pmDaryll, I would seriously consider Shayne’s advice about the meds. After all, it worked for Lenny Bruce.
Well, to a point, I guess.
May 28th, 2008 at 6:10 pm“Project Rapture”
May 28th, 2008 at 6:10 pm“Top Evangelist”
“So You Think You’re a Bible Thumper”
Yeah! Cool!! I’m lovin’ this!
Call my agent, man! We gotta get on this. So Daryll, babe, can we get in touch with your people? Let’s do lunch!
May 28th, 2008 at 6:11 pmStep It Up And TESTIFY
May 28th, 2008 at 6:12 pmDaryll already has his “following”. We’d all vote for him, we’re big supporters of his brand of “reality”.
May 28th, 2008 at 6:12 pmAw, man, you would really corrupt an artist of Daryll’s potential by plopping him in a reality show?
I’m tellin’ ya, this kid could go all the way. He could be the new Jim Belushi. But you guys want to make him into the next Tom Bergeron.
D-bag, don’t listen to ‘em! You got what it takes! Don’t compromise your talent!
May 28th, 2008 at 6:14 pm“Who is Rapture Readiest”
May 28th, 2008 at 6:15 pm“Talking in Tongues with the Stars”
Or “Reverend Hagee’s Puking Up Demons”
Methinks Daryll needs a road trip to Venice Boulevard by the Beach, plenty of whoring, rollerskating and genuine porn action down there for him to saliva….er., save…
May 28th, 2008 at 6:15 pmThat’s a neat riddle, how do you take a church out of a church?
With a Church Key?
May 28th, 2008 at 6:16 pmShayne, how about “Your Soul in Jeopardy!”
May 28th, 2008 at 6:19 pmor
Blazing Bush of Fortune!
Ralph, you’re a great agent but you can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.
May 28th, 2008 at 6:19 pmDaryll, louder is not necessarily funnier.
May 28th, 2008 at 6:19 pmOk, is it me or is Daryll just a bit nuts. I’m guessing his wife’s name is Lerlene.
May 28th, 2008 at 6:20 pmSo I employ the basics of group discussion, manners, and mediation and I am “awaiting moderation”
May 28th, 2008 at 6:21 pmWhen I start speaking in tongues Daryll I will be signing up for electroshock therapy.
Does your preacher have you puking demons in a bag like Hagee? How many times did you vomit that gay demon Daryll and did you lose a lot of weight doing it?
May 28th, 2008 at 6:21 pmWow!

May 28th, 2008 at 6:23 pmWOO HOOO! Busting hell wide open sounds like my kind of action! Anybody else up for some hell raising?
May 28th, 2008 at 6:26 pmWon’t that bust hell?
May 28th, 2008 at 6:26 pmDaryll, stop talking dirty to RUC. He’s already married.
May 28th, 2008 at 6:27 pmBush gives up golf for the war, and Daryll gives up Mickie D for teh gay marriage.
**eyes rolling**
May 28th, 2008 at 6:27 pmOkay, but only if we’re not out too late. I got a big meeting in the morning.
May 28th, 2008 at 6:27 pmUh, oh, db, you’re going to confuse Daryll and he obviously hasn’t had his meds today. We don’t want him to go “postal”, or do we?
May 28th, 2008 at 6:28 pmRalph, we should be done about say, the witching hour…Heh.
May 28th, 2008 at 6:28 pmI still think St D. should parade on down to Venice Beach. The weightlifters would have fun kicking sand in his face.
May 28th, 2008 at 6:29 pmDaryll learned this euphemism from his pastor.
May 28th, 2008 at 6:29 pmI think Daryll would be the one having all the real fun.
May 28th, 2008 at 6:30 pmI don’t think God would be too happy with your belief that you are the only one who can talk to him. I’d start repenting, BIG TIME.
May 28th, 2008 at 6:32 pmI bind the spirit of mockery that is in you, IN JESUS NAME!!!!.>>>
Good luck with that, D.
Seriously, Daryll, just because you felt good when you got up today is no reason to skip your meds. The doctor prescribed them for a reason.
May 28th, 2008 at 6:33 pmHow much hotter than lava is hell again? I just want to know whether or not to bring a jacket. Now when the actual busting happens are we suppose to blow on any noisemakers or break out in any song or anything. One of those goofy choreographed musical song and dances might be nice. You must excuse me, my parents never exposed my to church so I am sort of unfamiliar with the rituals. Is it concerned impolite to say something like “God damn, this is so f’ing cool” or “Holy shit” or anything like that?
May 28th, 2008 at 6:35 pmNow why would I want to have a talk with a nonexistent spirit?
May 28th, 2008 at 6:35 pmMy mockery is sincere.
You are the antithesis of what Christ lived.
St. D.
May 28th, 2008 at 6:36 pmLooks like your binding is kinda broken today. Maybe some dried newt liver mixed with a dash of bat guano and burned in offering would help.
I’d suggest a nice Eric Idle number — perhaps “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life”.
May 28th, 2008 at 6:37 pmdbadass @#90.. ROFLMAO!!
May 28th, 2008 at 6:37 pmShayne & Leftside Annie, will you be my wives?
Might as well throw polygamy into the mix. ;)
May 28th, 2008 at 6:38 pmRUC are you mocking Daryll again? I thought he bound your mockery. Don’t go unbinding what Daryll has bound in Jeebus name.
May 28th, 2008 at 6:38 pmZ, A lesbian threesome!! How about a chance for Daryll to watch?
May 28th, 2008 at 6:39 pmralph, I suggested the dried newt liver and such, but I guess his binding shit is just weak today.
May 28th, 2008 at 6:39 pmdbadass is gonna give Buckie Boy a run for his money. :D
May 28th, 2008 at 6:39 pmNow that’s a reality show I can get behind! …erm… in a manner of speaking.
May 28th, 2008 at 6:40 pmRUC,
Daryll is required to watch. God said so.
Tiffany said it was ok. ;)
May 28th, 2008 at 6:41 pmAwwwww, Zooey! *blushing*
Um, which one of us has to buy the rings? I’m kinda broke right now, but I can make the wedding cake! Wanna lick the bowl…? ;o)
May 28th, 2008 at 6:42 pmI think that was Daryll’s pants, not hell, that just busted wide open.
May 28th, 2008 at 6:43 pmMistress Z, he might actually learn something about female pleasure, of course Tiffany would be OK. The sign of the cross is NOT foreplay.
May 28th, 2008 at 6:45 pmThanks, Annie. I’m broke too, so I’ll lick the bowl for dinner. Shayne will have to support us in the style to which we have become accustomed — Goodwill chic. ;)
May 28th, 2008 at 6:46 pmI think you’re in the clear, robbez, because Daryll didn’t bind your mockery.
Wait a minute…
YO DARYLL! Was that just RUC whose mockery you bound, or was that TP in general? We need a clarification on this.

May 28th, 2008 at 6:50 pmwell is’nt it about time… In the regime that Bush wanted to establish all he can think of is telling the world how to be and get gas to AT LEAST $5.00 a gallon…. he is’nt done with us yet. In this world he was trying to create, filled with too much hate, discrimination and hypocracy, THANK GOD California is standing up for peoples rights, the pursuit of happiness. This country was in part founded on the principle of…. no taxation without representation. We queers have been getting taxed and had no representation or legal rights. I this world of so little love, compassion and tolerence, at last there is some copmassion and understandingbut not coming from the Bush camp, they who call themselves Christians.
May 28th, 2008 at 6:53 pmRUC,
Heh. :-)
May 28th, 2008 at 7:00 pmMistress Z, Tiffany called and wants to know if you can lend her your black candles and velvet restraints…
May 28th, 2008 at 7:02 pmAh, finally no tyranny from the majority.
Darryl, I know your fear out of this stems from seeing a man dressed like a woman in the bathroom. Don’t worry, that was probably only Will Ferrell. But if I’m not convincing you, call into to Colmes tonight at 10PM EST as ‘Darryl’. I want to hear your complaints.
May 28th, 2008 at 7:02 pmRUC,
Of course! Does she want the electrified dog collar as well?
May 28th, 2008 at 7:05 pmNaughty thread…
May 28th, 2008 at 7:09 pmDaryll has a really dirty mind, ForTruth. :)
May 28th, 2008 at 7:14 pmThank You Lord for hearing the cries of your disenfranchised gay children.
Thank You for allowing your grace to enter the hearts and minds of those in California and to allow all your children, straight or gay, to enter into the commitment of marriage.
The extra L is for Love.
May 28th, 2008 at 7:16 pmSo are we yea or nay on the Lesbian Polygamy reality show?
I gotta know whether to call Daryll’s people to see if he’d be interesting in hosting it.
May 28th, 2008 at 7:16 pmRalph,
Hell, I’ll do it. If I can’t get out of Illinois, my summer job is going to fall through anyway. ;)
May 28th, 2008 at 7:18 pmMistress Z, how about you and Daryll (not Darylll) co-hosting?
May 28th, 2008 at 7:25 pmYou could keep a bible handy to thump his head when he gets too worked up!
And I’ll be glad to run the teleprompter for him…heh..
Nice try Dary*3L, but we know that you couldn’t possibly be the genuine thing, as our St. D has no concept of love, or peace, or Xianity.
May 28th, 2008 at 7:27 pmBut kudos for the effort! {;>}
RUC, only if it’s one of those really big leather-bound family bibles. :-)
May 28th, 2008 at 7:30 pmZ, I think I have the Queen Jamie version laying around in the attic somewhere…!
May 28th, 2008 at 7:34 pmI can’t imagine that TBI Daryll would be much different…
May 28th, 2008 at 7:38 pmWell, this was a fun way to keep the afternoon interesting! Later, time to warp up and head home. Yes, warp, as in drive!

May 28th, 2008 at 7:53 pmAny chance of being home before the summer is out?
May 28th, 2008 at 7:55 pmYou’re making me cry…
May 28th, 2008 at 7:55 pmoops, sorry. any updates? I’ll look for one somewhere else
May 28th, 2008 at 7:59 pmWhere did the “real” Daryll go? And I if I had a big bible to whack him with I wouldn’t be aiming at his head.
May 28th, 2008 at 8:48 pmOhhhh, harsh. :-D
May 28th, 2008 at 8:59 pmDaryll Says:
I am ready to do battle with the devil and I have my spiritual armor (holy ghost, bible, anointed oil).
Don’t worry Daryll, there will now be a lot more “heads” anointed with oil, and many “cups” will runneth over.
May 28th, 2008 at 10:16 pmWhy would a man and woman, doing what they do best, be so concerned about calling it “marriage?”
Dumbass.

I’ll continue to pray for you, Daryll. With your prejudiced “pick & choose” approach to the Bible, you seriously need help!
May 29th, 2008 at 7:18 amNow it’s normal people getting discriminated again. I have to wait until 1/1/09 until I can change my name in thru marriage. Same sex couples can do it now thru RDP’s then turn around and get married on Jun 14th, keeping the names they got in the RDP.
Yes there is several problems with the up coming June 17th date of the new forms using the new marriage license forms - samples here
Couple types:
1. Hetro Sexual Couples with both partners under the age of 62.
2. Hetro Sexual Couples with both partners the age of 62 or OVER.
3. Same Sex Couples.
Problem: Couple types 2 and 3 can get RDP Registered Domestic Partnerships and change names, then turn around and get married using the names they want.
Couple type 1 can NOT get into a RDP Registered Domestic Partnerships and change names. So when they marry they can only change thier names according to current CA H&S Code 103175 and 103180. link to hsc 103175 and 103180
Couple type 1 have to wait for AB102 to take effect on 1/1/09.
Couple types 2 and 3 can bypass that using RDP’s to get the names they want in the marriage starting Jun 17th 2008.
RDP Info: DomesticPartnerfaqs
Declaration of Domestic Partnership (Form NP/SF DP-1)
So for equality AB102 needs to be implented on Jun 17th with the same sex marriages.
The other problem is on the new sample marriage license applications at public health. Since they are going to be same sex compatible where is the new married names placed?
Stacy Thomas Smith marries Madison Wallace Jones.
Stacy’s maiden name is Stacy Chris Thomas.
Madison Wallace Jones maiden name Madison Sidney Wallace.
Currently they would be Stacy Thomas & Madison Wallace Smith-Jones, Jones-Smith, Jones, Smith, … If they didn’t go back to thier maiden names. Where is it on the new sample they put thier new names?
Are they: [you’ll notice the names are gender neutral]
Stacy Thomas & Madison Wallace Smith-Jones
Stacy Thomas & Madison Wallace Jones-Smith
Stacy Chris & Madison Wallace Thomas-Jones
Stacy Chris & Madison Wallace Thomas
Stacy Thomas & Madison Sidney Wallace
Stacy Chris & Madison Sidney Thomas
Which is why AB102 needs to be implementated on Jun 17th so there are lines on the License application to insert the names to be used after marriage.
