A bunch of us went bowling Friday night. Me, my bf Oscar, my friend Carolyn, my friend Diane and her husband Bart. I haven’t been bowling in over a decade. I swear I didn’t go into it feeling competitive because I figured I’d lose but when I was tied for first with Bart after the first four frames of game 1 I started really wanting to beat him. Gane 1 ended with Bart bowling 113 and me bowling 106. If I’d have picked up my spare in the tenth frame I’d have beaten him in game 1. We decided to bowl another game (I agreed only because I really wanted to kick his ass) and that one settled out with Bart at 111 and me at 135. So I beat him bad the second gama and also had high overall pin count. This is particularly sweet because a) Bart and I don’t like each other, b) Bart regularly competes in athletic activities and I don’t and c) Bart is fairly homophobic. I’m hoping just a little bit that he lost some sleep over losing a physical event to a homo. I printed out the scores, just, you know, to have them around should the need to take him down a peg ever arise.
Except that my thumb has been hurting ever since and for some reason my glutes are wicked sore. Still, every twinge of pain is a delicious reminder of my glorious victory.
Nah, he must be gay and not know it. In fact, he must be gayer than you by at least 17 pins. That works out to him being 7.6% more homosexual by my math.
Guilty as charged. I pretty much need a Queer Eye for the Queer Guy.

You know the best part of this, Otto? If there’s one thing us straight guys do, it’s never let losers live down their defeat. So whenever he starts talking smack, you just casually go…“Say, remember that game where I kicked your ass?” and just grin.
You could have competed with me - I’m a straight man and I’m pretty much lousy at every sport. I wish I’d known there was something good I could do with that…
By the way, maybe it’s not the place, but I sure am sorry for all the gay marriage stuff - the proposed amendment and other noise. Makes me feel ashamed to be married! I’d try to get a civil union or something instead if I was deciding now. If you want, I can think of a couple straight men you could beat with a stick instead of a sport…
