D.E.A. Roid Rage in the Castro

Well, it's about time. The Castro district -- notorious for being "too body conscious," or whatever the technical term for it is that the spherical gays always toss about, angrily -- played host to a DEA raid on Thursday. According to Lance Williams, who snatches away the "Best Chron Scribe Name" trophy from Jaxon Van Derbeken, the "U.S. Food and Drug Administration agents served search warrants at the Max Muscle store on 16th Street and at the Pacifica home of Maurice Sandoval, who was identified as the owner of a laboratory that markets two heavily advertised supplements called Tren Extreme and Mass Extreme." While the two products are technically legal, two beauty-hating FDA scientists claim that said products "contain two undetectable designer steroids," which prompted yesterday's raid. (Max Muscle, by the way, used to be the nicest little wine and smoke shop before the meatheads took it over, so please excuse our glee.) So sorry, boys. (Read more about it here.)

the spherical gays

I love the fatties, but I laughed

Wasn't "The Spherical Gays" the name of an O.M.D. album?

WHY DIDN'T POLLO DEL MAR WARN US!!!

uhm, if the designer steroids are undetectable, then how did they detect them?

and, of course they're designer - castro, duh!

The Pump-n-Pout crowd must be wringing their hands and wondering where their next batch of fake muscles will come from. And work on those goddam piano legs while you're at it! Ouch! Was that too harsh?
