Remember, there's gay, then there's starchild gay.

Bah. You just act gay to attend the company picnics and get access to the space weapons.

I guess I don't fit the stereotypical label of a gay man.

Well of course you don't dear ... after all, you live in Illinois

J/K - Illinois is not that bad - almost, but not quite.

Well, I moved out of Iowa into Illinois -- maybe I'm moving up in the world.

I got 0/20

Which I am glad, because some of those things I can't stand at all.

Drinking Expensive Coffee so ppl can see you? That is lame, sorry.

Watching Sex in the city, that is also just as lame.

Nothing against you, just those two things I can't stand about certain people. Whenever I see people TRYING to be social, I immediately think "sad".

Most of the rest, well most of it applies to gay life, and I don't have much experience or say in that area.

this is how I, a straight man, tell if someone is gay:

1. They go by their full name and not an abbreviated one (Robert, not Rob)
2. They own at least 3 albums by Erasure and/or Barbra Streisand
3. They can tell the difference betwee eggshell and off-white
4. They realize that jewlery is an acessory and not just a gift to give to get into someones pants
5. They think Will and Grace is a good show
6. They have the gaul to tell a woman that they look bad
7. If their shoes have laces then those laces are made of leather
8. The giggle whenever you mention Tightend or the Packers
9. They touch their face a lot (sounds odd, but...)
10. They sleep with men

It generally only takes the first three...

well I've used some kind of moisturiser against frostbite. and a couple of times after getting sunburnt because my mum told me to

. that's about it.

I do gesture with my hands (but not in a "gay" fashion I think)

Speaking of hiding things, a developing drugs and alcohol problem is so easily solved by another BEER

Jon Shafer · September 2, 2003, 17:56

I don't look anything like that picture any more.

I wonder where that shirt went... err... what?

Accurate except my hair is longer. Wearing contacts all the time is a pain.

Boris Godunov · September 2, 2003, 18:00

There seems to be some mold or something on your chin.

Jon Shafer · September 2, 2003, 18:02

We already know I have no style, remember?

Boris Godunov · September 2, 2003, 18:08

Dear lord, that hair...looks like someone parked the ass of a bonobo on your head. And get some sleeker glasses! There's no excuse for having those telescope lenses parked on your face.

Jon Shafer · September 2, 2003, 18:10

I guess this is what I should have expected posting in this thread.

Boris Godunov · September 2, 2003, 18:12

Can we make you over? We'll have our own Apolyton Fab 5. Only, since none of the other gays here seem to have any real sense of fashion, culture, etiquette, etc., it looks like I may have to do all the work myself...

Jon Shafer · September 2, 2003, 18:16

If it'll make you sleep better tonight.

Jon Shafer · September 2, 2003, 18:18

Oh, and vote a 10 for me at HotOrNot...

Boris Godunov · September 2, 2003, 18:26

See, you used to have such good hair! Why oh why would you led it go?

Um -- don't you know who Starchild is?

Ben Kenobi · September 2, 2003, 18:42

1) I lipsync to disco classics in front of the mirror. At least once a day.

No, to either lipsyncing or disco

2) I know all the words to most Little Mermaid songs and a fair proportion of other Disney classics.

No

3) I spend hours searching music stores for discount ABBA CD's.

Who's abba?

4) I know what a Diva is, I use the word correctly in context, and I buy their CD's without hesitation.

Yes to diva, yes to word usage, no to purchasing cds. I blame Celine.

5) I got my blonde highlights dyed purple and pink. And I managed to make that match with my clothing.

Ummm, what blond highlights?

So no.

6) I moisturise my skin.

If by 'moisturise' you mean washing, then yes.

7) I go to Gay Pride Parades. Wearing a t-shirt that says "Slut" on it. In front of TV cameras.

Yes, but I'm on the other side. Along the street. With the sign.

8) I gesture with my hands while my conversations are full of semi-obscure pop-culture references while stressing random bits. I'm so all Sarah Michelle Gellar in the way I speak.

Yes, I gesture, but no to pop culture references.

9) I have sex with men. In hindsight, this one should be moved higher up on the list.

Eh, no.

10) I can be given jeans, a hawaiian shirt, and a big wooly sweater and still look fabulous.

Again, I look best in a suit.

11) I use the word fabulous.

I prefer gorgeous.

12) Did I mention that sleeping with men thing?

No.

13) I do brunch. I drink expensive coffees just so people can see my drink them. I read political magazines like Advocate and Gay Times mainly to look at the pictures of half naked men.

No to brunch, expensive coffees, pro-gay magazines and the pictures.

14) I have, at various times, worn lipstick, eye liner, and body glitter.

No.

15) I use sarcasm and *****iness to hide a delicate inner soul damaged by years of isolation and anxiety.

I'll say no.

16) Speaking of *****iness, did you see what Sarah Jessica Parker wore the last time she was in public? Her clothing advisor so deserves an...um....argh *reaches for culture reference*

No. Why would I care what she wears?

17) Speaking of hiding things, a developing drugs and alcohol problem is so easily solved by another martini.

I've had maybe 8 drinks in a year, mostly wine, so no.

18) The Conservative Party hates me. Says so in their Manifesto, right next to the bit where they promise to assault old ladies and drink the blood of newborns on moonlit eves.

Yes, because the conservatives aren't really conservatives here in Canada. So they hate me and like Asher.

19) I'm out of ideas but if you agree with the one below, you must be gay.

No.

20) Are you sure I didn't mention I **** men?

No.

I score 2/20
Higher than some.

The "flower in full bloom" of gayness.

MrFun · September 2, 2003, 18:47

Yes -- and now I'm just waiting for Starchild to fly to New York City to kill Boris for his traitorous statement.

THIS from the guy who takes fashion tips from Dark Helmet.

Yeah, you should DEFINITELY be designing the costumes, dude.

Because chopping it off is easier than growing it back.

Yep -- Starchild will definitely hunt you down now.

Feh.

This from the man who can't iron... you must wear a lot of those fabrics that allegedly don't need ironing, or you're a big fan of Ann De Meulemeester or Hussein Chalayan.

And Trip- yes, that hair has to go. Have you ever thought of a flat top, or a marine buzzcut? And how about getting a haircut like one of those while you're at it?

And what about soft contacts? I must leave before the urge to make puns around hard contacts erupts within me....

Don't you have a boyfriend -- you better not be doing anything more than just voting.

Jon Shafer · September 3, 2003, 00:08

I get the feeling I'm disturbing the balance around here.

And if it makes anyone feel any better I did indeed (*gasp*) get a haircut and shave earlier today. Sorry though, I don't have a digital camera here at the new apartment.

MrFun · September 3, 2003, 00:37

good boy

Uncle Sparky · September 3, 2003, 01:01

So anyway, I'm sitting here wearing a Hawaiian shirt, drinking a half-caf latte and listening to ABBA when I come across this thread.

I've been posting here so long I remember when Starchild told me he hated disco; I told him it was part of his heritage and he had to learn to like it.

Without responding to all the questions, I'm straight but a gay sympathizer with 30+ years in the Biz and The Left.

... as for sleeping with men.... a brother (as in sibling not as in Spike Lee) & I shared a bedroom !?!?!
