I'm confused. It it saying Corey Feldman IS the center OF the arts, or did they mean he has a center FOR the arts?

This is for Thrasher, the suck-up who got her name emblazoned on the front page for donating large sums of money to suck up to Leagl.

LONDON, Aug. 26 — The world's biggest brewer, Anheuser-Busch (NYSE:BUD), said on Tuesday it had signed up Dutch brewer Heineken to sell its flagship Budweiser brand in Italy, after its previous partner pulled out to market a rival beer. Birra Peroni, which had sold Budweiser in Italy since 1995, said it was working on the launch of Miller Genuine Draft, following its takeover by the world's second-biggest brewer, SABMiller Plc (L:SAB) (J:SABJ), earlier this year.

Sounds like a match made in hell.

Bud and Heiny, together?

All else aside, the shirt has adequately conveyed to you the essence of Corey Feldman.

Isn't the right answer perfectly clear anyway?

First, I wanted to commend you on not your astute gay detective skillz, but your strong use of italics in your prior post. It was just clean.

Second, it it true that I am never attracted to gay men, which is about the only positive thing I can say about my attractor mechanism. And Franklin is simply Phillipoussian in his attractiveness to me- the model paigow man. He also has, like you said, straight (not in the depth sense SD referred to te other day) hair, but in the ideal paigow hair- a little shaggy, a little tousled. And he did peace corp on Antigua or something. Doenst sound like a gay activity (NTTAWWT) and yes I realize this is a total generalization but bitch please.

As for the guy who isnt Wes or Franklin, he has that senstiive look in his eyes the straights don't have. I remember nothing else about this guy but that sensitive look and it is enough.

The thing you point out about Wes did not make me think straight, it made me questino whether the "who's the straight" premise was out amongst the mates, so to speak. EDITED SENTENCE THAT WAS TOTALLY ILLOGICAL THOUGH IT MADE SENSE TO ME AT THE TIME BC I AM EITHER STUPID OR A WACKADOODLEDO. Franklin can't act his way out of an asshat so it doesnt really apply to him . ANd James is clearly onto Franklin bc why else woudlnt he go in for some of that action?

The only thing that troubles me about this show is that a well intentioned gay man could end up with the straight guy, which is sort of humiliating if he didnt know the dilly-o going in. But even though James "gaydar wasnt on", now it is and that wont happen. To quote Sean, The Gay Revolution Is ON!!!

Now someone pleaes get Andra a date- this show has aged her ten years.

and lastly, barely, it might behoove you to know that that one guy in the dogpark a while back who you said was cute and I said, "gay" is indeed straight. or so he claims. But he is single, late thirties and slim. NTTAWWT.

EDITED to ask why the Mates did not get it on with each other, as RT once speculated was the reason there was no prior gay man reality show.

Boy Meets Boy
 

That exit interview was nutty. I hope he felt like a goofball when it aired. I also like that all these straight guys say something about removing stereotypes, yadda, yadda, yadda during their exit interviews. Umm, sure it wasn't for the cash and/or national exposure, buddy? Whatever.

I read somewhere that Andrea is married and the mother of 2. May explain why she didn't offer herself to try to "out" the straight mate. And why she's ok with looking like a hag on tv (not a fag hag, just a hag). nttawwt.

Boy Meets Boy
 

Glad to know my gaydar is getting better. And using the word "behoove" is so very Jamie Gertz in Square Pegs, which I wouldn't have remembered if my Tivo hadn't recorded an episode for me. Yay Tivo!

I think Brian (the guy in the final three whose name you can't remember) said that he was attracted to Dan and interested in him, but Dan was straight so I guess nothing materialized. Also, I would think the fact that this whole show is taking place over the course of a week, and the fact that there are cameras everywhere, would keep the mates from hooking up. Not everyone is a big ole camera slut like Amanda and Dave from BB4.

edited to add that I can't believe the "cash prize" for the straight guy who gets picked is only $25,000. Jesus Christ, I know it's Bravo, but the Fab 5 spend that much on one visit to Diesel for a SG

The stuff on QE is comped by the stores that they promote (hence the front of the store shot in every episode). I think that Wes might have had a little side sumpin' for Robb. Either that or the crying so completely gave him away as a gay man. And what gay guy wouldn't be into Robb? He was hot (in a very gay way).

Boy Meets Boy
 

When James said soemething about how he wants to prove that the gay s are just like the straights except for who they love and that they should be able to get married like Andra and her husband, I was astounded that she was married and looked for a ring, which she did not have on. What kind of marriage can she have if she talks to James every night for hours as I think she indicated. She looks like Carolyn Bessette (may she RIP) after a three day coke bender. The equipment is there to look pretty but it isnt happening.

Boy Meets Boy
 

On one of the gay websites I frequent a poster said that the contestants had to sign contracts that limited physical contact to kissing. I don't know if that limitation was meant only with respect to James.

BTW, everyone on that site is convinced that Franklin is "straight" -- although some think he is a closet case. Almost ALL are convinced that Dan is a closet case. I've seen only the first episode, so I'm in no position to judge.

I said "behoove" not bc it even made any sense there, but bc I like the word. Probably bc it sounds like something Bunny McDoiugal might say. I knew I wasnt getting away with it either.

And speaking of good television that has gone by the wayside, what is this Trio channel that is showing cancelled shows? That Jay Mohr show where he is an agent is supposed to be on there. I loved that show. How do I find this?

All of me. Why not take all of me?
 

We were talking about a photograph, right?

Confidential settlement for Texas man who woke up from bladder surgery to find that doctors had amputated his penis without permission.

Favorite line: "They [the doctors] did not admit to any wrongdoing in the settlement." Some things go without saying, but "sorry I took off your penis" isn't one of them.

Boy Meets Boy
 

Do you think Dan is closeted? I was completely floored that he is straight. In hindsight, maybe he was a bit over-the-top, but those clothes! That hair! The way he crossed his legs when he sat down! The way he commented on the other guy's "treasure trail"!

His ass when he pressed it up against the glass shower door was also very very nice. very nice. Um, I'm going to go home and re-watch some episodes now, I think. Just for research purposes. Just to fine-tune the gaydar, really.

Don't hate, donate!

Boy Meets Boy
 

Which one was Dan? The chiropractor? I wouldnt think a closet case would go on this show bc arent the closet cases the ones that tend to be the most homophobic and paranoid about gayness? As for Franklin, y ou can tell those boys to dream on. He might or might not be a sexless wasp, but he aint a gay.

Confidential to Thrasher
 

Can't stop thinking about me, can you? Should I ever step foot outside of the country (which is likely never to happen but I have been to Canada so that makes me a world traveler) I now know that I can go to Italy and order a Bud to go with my rigatonis and Ragu.

It is about time that one of you cheap bastards acknowledged my monetary suck-up to Leagl. In return I am hoping that the nicest Breasticle Day pic will be attributed to me --

edited to note that I am hoping that the nicest Breasticle Day pic is of breasts because I wouldn't want to be wrongly envied for my very large penis.

Confidential to Thrasher
 

Duly acknowledged. Thank you. I will think of you as the best breast, and already have candidates in mind as the biggest prick.

Hey, leagl - I've been operating under the (possibly) mistaken premise that costs were actually quite low, like de minimus, maybe through an impression I got back when you were describing the creation of the site. What are the costs? I think I saw some reference to a cost per week or month in a recent post, but, really, I (and probably everyone else) have no idea.

Thinking that there was no real money pressures, I've been ignoring the whole subject, and just assuming the donations were going to MR's counseling bills. I'm now thinking I was wrong.

Boy Meets Boy
 

Dan! The actor! The boyfriend in NY! The blond dude we discussed ad naseum. I think Dualit meant closeted as in not out, not closeted as in not aware of his own desires.

Boy Meets Boy
 

True, any intamacy beyond kissing is contractualy prohibited for all of them. This is, of course, why this show is booring and all they do is sip cocktails and blather on about "true love." And it is, of course, funny that the only ones here watching the show (as Bravo expected) are straight women, who I am sooo fucking sure are only watching becuase of the "straight" presence on the show. Of course, if James happens to choose wrong, then they all can giggle and tee-hee because once again a gay man has made made the butt (sorry) of a cruel joke.

I am surprised that the same producer who did Gay Wedding produced this show, but further surprised that anyone is still watching this.

Board Motto Candidate
 

Hey e/o! I think we have a new candidate for the board motto!

Boy Meets Boy
 

Oh, the little cutie. how could I forget?

anyway, i think loseted as in not out would make him less likely to do the show, unless he thinks it makes him look liess gay to pretend to be gay. Oy

Confidential to Atticus and other QE fans:

I just spotted Ted on the street. Looking a little uncomfortable with his new found fame, he was walking briskly, head down, with a very serious and determined look on his face. He was wearing a multicolored vertical striped shirt and grey-ish pants. And carrying a Bergdorfs bag. I must have looked quizzically at him because this girl said "yeah, I think that's that wine guy". So I'm 99% sure it was him.

Boy Meets Boy
 

What the fuck do you know? I watch it with one of my gay friends, so there is at least one gay man watching it. I think we have all expressed how cruel the twist was and none of us are cheering for him to pick the str8 guy.

Also I never giggle or tee-hee. It is unbecoming.

Boy Meets Boy
 

Me neither. But do you laugh so hard you crap your pants ever?







Yeah, me neither.

Boy Meets Boy
 

Of the three gay men that I had dinner with last night, only one watched it. The other two didn't have TVs.

Ted
 

Some wine guy. The bottle of "Dancing Bull" Zinfandel he had the guy serve last week is $8.99 from Rancho Zydeco. Quite good for the price, actually, but he has shown me nothing to justify his title of "wine connisseur."

Yo ho ho and a bottle of hum.
 

Maybe you're reading the wrong board.

CDF (arrrrrrrrr, matey, X marks the spot)

Ted
 

Me too. Maybe that's why he was walking so fast, with head down. But he was just drawing attention to himself by acting unusual. That kind of bugs me about celebrities (although I would probably do the same in their shoes) - the way they act like they're trying not to draw attention to themselves and that in fact draws attention to themselves.

A case in point. I once flew from LA to NY beside Ivana Humpalot. She seemed very relaxed on the plane - we chatted about the new personal TV monitors and shared some nuts and both had the vegetarian entree. Good times. But as soon as she got off the plane (at midnight), she put on sunglasses, a winter hat (in April) and wrapped this pashmina around her so it covered the bottom half of her face, sort of burqua-like. It looked ridiculous. Of course people are going to wonder "who's that?" more with her looking like that, than if she just acted normally.

Hey, I did the Amazon thingie. Plus I need to order a couple more Al Franken books to send to youze guys who got the wrong attitude about Fair and balanced and all that.

And Leagl, you're welcome. Someone needed to bring the money issue to the public, I guess it had to be me. This way it keeps you from looking like you're slutting for campaign contributions to run for Guvnor.

Hey now, no insulting the donors.

I am hoping she wasn't referring to me. Of course this further squashes the "giggle only" theory. I giggle, but I am not a straight woman.

Local celebrities are even worse. I got stuck next to this guy a couple of days ago.

His efforts to steer the conversation around to what he did for a living were just embarrassing. Mammal, please. Like I watch local news.

Um, sure, that's what I was talking about, a photograph.

While MR's counseling bills, I am sure, are high (though not as high as mine) that is not where the money goes. The very first site took almost no money. We found out quickly, between being shut down and repeatedly crashing that a cheap or free site would not work for us. So we did some fund raising and built this site. It cost us a considerable amount to get it up and running, which, thanks to some very generous users, including the admins, we were able to raise.

We spend approximately 120 dollars a month, not counting the need for upgrades and additional expenses for any work we have to hire out, to run the site. That is where the price for the box on the side of the front page comes from. 30 dollars per week.

Most of the money goes to pay for our hosting. I have a couple hundred dollars in the bank right now, so we are always in need of money for future months.

I use the word "behoove" all the time. Especially with my children. It is yet another reason to be enchanted with the ever-delightful Princess.

And furthermore, monsieur Assclam*, it would behoove one whose avatar is Niles Crane not to compare other posters to famous TV sphincter-clenchers.
