Anyone else notice we haven’t seen **dumbassLUBEdyejob** recently? Must be simply _awful_ to have your first Pit thread turn on you and bite you in the ass like that…

What, Esprix, you don’t enjoy being bitten in the ass? Vanilla boy.

I hereby challenge you to a gay duel. Here is my summer agenda-

1. Work for gay bookstore
2. Write for gay newspaper
3. Volunteer for gay internet company
4. Intern for theater troupe- and we all know how gay actors all.

So, honey, all due respect… I am **way** more gay than you are. 😉

Are. Are, are, are.

Oh, well, good proofing isn’t one of the Agenda’s commandments.

Hey, I do theater, I waited at a gay resturant/cafe, and worked at the best (therefore it must be gay) bookstore on the West coast (Powells City of Books). Does that mean I’m already gay? That would be a real bonus (NPI) because if I’m allredy gay then I can save my money and do the Civil War thingie. cool!

Oh and I found a whole lot of research stuff on the internet so I don’t have to go looking for books on it.

One last question: From what I can see from my researhc material I am going to have to start working out a lot more and shaving mu butt. Any advice on butt shaving? I made a horrible mistake with mentholated shaving cream already so I’m looking for pointers now before I go through that again.

Hah.

1. Having run as an openly gay New Democrat (just like Svend!),
2. Having gotten an affirmative action cheque for same,
3. Having been interviewed by a citywide newspaper for same,
4. Working at a queer phone line, and
5. Having attended an orgy

trumps both of you.

Geez, Esprix, it must have taken everything she had to lob one shot in your general direction and then run like hell!

I love you and your posts. And I’m not even a gay man.

Please don’t stop posting (as if you would!), it would just leave more room for twits like lube-girl.

PS- is it somehow telling that it NEVER occurred to me that “KY” in her name could mean Kentucky?

Rule #2: No pooft–no, wait, that can’t be right…

I started reading the original “ATGG” thread before I was even registered here. I told all my friends when he was going to be on “The Daily Show”. Esprix is my hero.

Yeah, but none of that counts because, being a lesbian, you obviously are just waiting for the right man to set you straight.

This set my paronomastometer in operation, and I finally determined he meant he once worked for Gay Bell (company motto: [theatrical voice] “Frankly, my dears, we don’t give a damn!”[/theatrical voice])

Now she’s changing her identity - how quaint. (Then again, wouldn’t anyone when they post such an embarassing Pit thread?)

**andygirl** , I have quite an impressive queer resume, but sharing it in public would, as we both know, violate several bylaws of the Agenda, so I best not reveal it here. Suffice it to say, “The cow and the Chevy Camaro are out of their cage.” I think you know what to do now… 😉

**omni** , I searched for MissDiagnosis, and all I got was the “Doesn’t Anyone Else Want Christmas to be OVER?” Frankly, it doesn’t fit **sassyKY’s** MO - not enough caps or punctuation. Is there somewhere she asked publicly to have her name changed?

**cantrip** , check out the OP - the name’s changed. And the profile is the same. You don’t have to publicly ask - you can e-mail the mods.

Oh, man. It was all I could do to stop myself from saying something nasty in the [Counting the Days](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=51875) thread. Either something along the lines of “surely you could afford a tube of KY for Christmas,” or perhaps “perhaps you wouldn’t so miserable if you weren’t such a jerk.” (Yeah, I know that those rate about a 2 on the flame scale…)

And in the new [redhead thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=51797), she had this charming comment to make:

> [@](#):

And if she was so sassy, why didn’t she come back here to defend herself?

Whatta jerk. No wonder she wanted to change her name. But she will always be **cowardlyIINFERIORTOASTROGLIDEhairdye** to me.
