**flytrap** we’ve been workin’ on TPAide for several days now. Do try to keep up. 😛 Rainy and dreary out. Four slightly tipsy gay men are about to watch _Priscilla Queen of The Desert_, followed by _To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything! Julie Newmar_ and for the grand finale _Sordid Lives_. This, folks, is gay movie nirvana. 😃 ---

Good grief, **swampy** , are you missing out on any other gay stereotypes?? Do you guys sit around calling each other “girlfriend”?? Or singing Judy Garland’s greatest hits?? 😛 We’re having burgers a la George Foreman because it’s rainy and the grill hasn’t been cleaned since last year. I’ve got 'maters, grilled vidalias, and swiss cheese on mine. 'tis yum! ---
