Okay, I vote for a National Straight Dope convention…just so I can personally shake the hand of everyone who posted in this thread… Damn, I don’t need to be laughing so early in the morning…and before coffee, even!! ---

I _must_ go to Montréal someday soon. Perhaps (_hopes_) I could even get the special matt\_mcl guided tour of the lovely lovely metro. ---

By all means. However, the entrance fee is one **potter**. Please be sure to bring him with you when you come as **potters** are not convertible currency at most banks in Canada. ---

The “Harry Potter” type, or the freaky cannabis-imbibing type? I may be able to scrounge up a few of the latter… Before I visit, though, I wanna know: why are all of these people so gay? What could make them all so _happy_? I’m vaguely suspicious… ---

Absolutely. I tried to lure one once, using a 12" of _Dancing Queen_. It spat at me, then ran away screaming. It may have been a wounded one, I don’t know. ---

What I find fascinating is the elaborate and inspirational mating dance of the homosexual. They approach their target smiling, place a hand on their shoulder, then kiss each of their cheeks and, in their own language mind you, squeal with delight at the plummage of their prospective mate. What follows is a close, erotic dance to “Blue Savannah” by Erasure, two dirty martinis and an invitation to the aggressors apartment to watch the DVD of Moulin Rouge. It’s fascinating. ---

[sub]It’s nominated, not to worry.[/sub] I am somewhat apalled that you all oversee the _real_ issues here. I mean, we can all to an extent agree. Some governments opt for free range homosexuals, whereas others devote villages to them, or design dedicated reserves. As long as the homosexual is treated humanely, that’s all cool. What REALLY gets to me though, is when people go on holiday to some foreign country, and then locally _purchase_ an often endangered homosexual to take it home with them. Oh, sure, they look cute in the shop, don’t they? Perky little homosexual, wearing a boa. It’s a sell! Then they take it home, and dress it up in a stupid little suit, and make the homosexual perform dumb tricks. And then the novelty wears off, and the lonely homosexual spends its days in much too tiny cage, dreaming of faraway places and Broadway musicals. This is a fucking _atrocity_, and it **must** be stopped. Contact your congressman today to ask him on the status of the _No To Import-Queens_ bill.
