Well, I’m going to have to agree with sassyKYredhead here. The thread title is typed in all caps, so it must be true. How can I argue with that? ---

I think adding to the thread title’s credibility is the three question marks. That’s one important question, lemme tell ya. They kinda distract you from the fact that “ANYONE WHO IS SICK AND TIRED OF ESPRIX’S ‘POOR GAY MARTYR’ ROOUTINE” is a sentence fragment. I wonder exactly what our water-soluble-lubricant lovin’ self-declared sass machine was trying to say. “Is anyone else sick and tired of Esprix’s ‘Poor Gay Martyr’ routine?” “Who is sick and tired of Esprix’s ‘Poor Gay Martyr’ routine? Anyone?” “Who, if anyone, is sick and tired of Esprix’s ‘Poor Gay Martyr’ routine?” “Anyone who is sick and tired of Esprix’s ‘Poor Gay Martyr’ routine is someone who is in agreement with me?” Help us out here… ---

We had a poster once (I think s/he is still here but doesn’t post much) whose SN wsa based on some translation of “That question cannot be answered because it is contingent upon a false premise.” We can’t be tired of it because he doesn’t have a ‘poor gay martyr’ routine. But thanks for playing, and remove the flagpole from up your ass after you leave; it’s bashed a hole in your head and there’s shit floating around between your ears. More even than before. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by iampunha \* > \*\* > We can’t be tired of it because he doesn’t have a ‘poor gay martyr’ routine. > \*\* I dunno, I thought I saw the “poor gay martyr” routine in this off broadway show once. It was kind of a Dickens meets Joan of Arc meets Cage au Faux sort of thing. If I remember correctly, the first scene was at this gay orphanage in France. After this kid says “Please sir, may I have some more” (esprix might have been playing the character for all I know,) They all break into this poor gay martyr musical bit. (To the tune of the “Hard-knock Life”) The Gay Martyr Life It’s the gay martyr life for us. Why are we making such a fuss? Religious right says it ain’t ok To be happy, then why call us gay? It’s the gay martyr life. It’s the gay martyr life we lead The gay agenda is our creed Why do you want us to disapear Call us gay don’t call us queer It’s the gay martyr life. Why are we gay, we just don’t know. Women don’t make our naughty bits grow Why are we like this, well lets’s see Some say culture, others heredity It’s the gay martyr life. I forgot how the rest of it went. I think Joan of Arc frees the gays from the orphanage. The lead male falls in love with her. Tragedy strikes however when he finds out Joan of Arc is a women. All the gay orphans burn her at the stake for this betrayal and as a symbol of self-empowerment. Later they feel bad about it and go have dinner at Burger King. It wasn’t a very good musical. I’ll go take my medication now. 😉 ---

I, personally, don’t give a flying fig if Esprix is homo-, bi- or heterosexual. I find him to be a witty, intelligent young man whose posts I very much enjoy reading. I don’t care if he has an agenda, as long as he doesn’t try forcing it on me. And he doesn’t. I believe you to be in the minority here **sassyKYredhead** , and I find your excuse for starting this thread - shall we say - lame. Judging from a few posts from you I’ve read, you seem bent on provoking if not antagonizing people. Provocation can have a positive effect as long as it is handled properly. I suggest you work on that. As far as antagonizing for antagonizing’s sake, I suggest you re-think the strategy or come _very well_ armed. There are a few debaters in the SD community who would easily have you for lunch, and I don’t mean an invitation to partake in a meal. As a 28-year old educated person, I’m sure you can contribute much to the discussion on various subjects broached here. A change of approach would, IMHO, go a long way in that respect. ---

I didn’t want to speak on this subject until I felt I knew something about it. So I did some research. I typed the words “Esprix” and “martyr” into Yahoo and found no matching web pages. I then tried the phrase “poor gay martyr” and also got no matching web pages. I finally tried the name “sassyKYredhead” and also found no information. I then went to deja and tried the above combinations again with the same results. No matches on the usenet discussions for any of the above. From this exaustive research I conclude the following: 1. The problem you brought up does not exist. 2. No “poor gay martyrs” have ever been discussed on the internet. 3. You, sassyKYredhead, do not exist. and finally 1. I have stumbled upon the magical search paramaters which do not bring up porn links. Even pornography involving gay martyrs or sassy redheads who use KY jelly. ---

**Esprix** \ Hi guy, sorry to break in here, I haven’t read the entire thread but it seems so mundane and repetative. Just wanted to let you know that I’ve finished the shadow box you wanted for your collection of gay memorobilia and I’ll get it to you as soon as I can. Sorry I couldn’t make it last week to help you polish and catalog your collection of gay inquisition medals. \ Post on, my friend. Rest assured that when you piss me off (as you sometimes do), I’ll ignore you and get back with you later. Hell, people, it’s been said a thousand times, if you don’t like what they say, _dont_ open their thread. Hermit ---
