ButchOnTap: Extra, Extra! Read All About It!

Ohboyohboyohboyohboy! Butch is so excited!  Yesterday, the San Diego Gay & Lesbian News ran its first piece by Butch Jaxon (that’s me!).  I am the SDGLN’s newest Social Contributor. Imagine that! Butch is a “social contributor” – not demented or diagnosable. Not, “that dude in the ladies’ room.” A “social contributor.” Wow. A giant Thank … Read more

Butchopoly

I was recently playing Monopoly on my smart phone and it got me thinking…  What if there was a butch-themed Monopoly game?  What would the game look like? Traditionally, Monopoly has 8 sets of colored properties, 2 utilities, and 4 railroads to buy. Hazards include 2 kinds of taxes and, of course, jail. The pieces … Read more

facebook Oops

Dear Readers, I have made some changes to my facebook page.  Sadly, in the process, I lost all of the “likes” from those of you who took the time to hit the magic button.  Ahh, those lovely, affirming likes.  Now, it looks like Butch has no friends… I would love it if you would take the time to … Read more

Republicans’ Least Wanted

On the day after Santorum “suspended” his campaign (I know, let’s all take a moment…), I want to know … Why don’t the Republicans want me? I mean, seriously, I am an untapped market for the Republicans. I am one of those people – not a 1%er by any means – but a person with … Read more

I am sure that you’ve had plenty of Butch Fails as well. If you don’t think so, read this then ask your wife or girlfriend.  She will confirm, I … Read more

Size Matters

It’s time to discuss something big…me. I’m big. Not giant, but big. I’m going to round up and down slightly (so that people who know me won’t have my exact measurements), but you will get the point.  Let’s say, hypothetically, that I am 5’11 feet tall and 210 pounds.  That will give you a good … Read more

Tipping the Velvet

Butches are different. We know this. Obviously. Here is a great example of just how different.  A few days ago, I wrote about the pockets in my new velvet suit coat. I bought that well-pocketed suit coat to wear to a black tie event, a lawyers’ ball. [Side note (or maybe sidebar): there are many … Read more
