I’ll have to check my back closet and see if I still have the hooded silver-lined blue cape I made for a costume party years ago. I know I’ve “outgrown” the rest of the outfit, but the cape should still fit.
And somewhere in the attic I’ve got a whip (don’t ask).
Wow. Cape, hat & sword. That would be something. Guaranteed to get you arrested.
Just to let you know, there is a reasonable facsimile, I think, of the hat I own at menshats.com. Look for the Outback Grizzly, in the Oilskin Hats section. I ordered this from this company just recently, although it hasn’t come in yet, so I don’t know if it’s stylistically a good replacement for my old Zorro hat, which is getting ratty, unfortunately. Got it in black, of course.
pantom’s hat, as I thought it was rather buried…
Hmmmn. And here I thought I finally found the person to punish for the creation of the family.
sigh
I know this is a jokey thread, but to let you know I find the term ‘breeders’ quite offensive. I’m sure you wouldn’t want anyone to feel as badly as you do when you’re called names because of your sexual preference.
I’m not speaking for all parents/people who want kids but I personally really dislike that term.
I am completely jealous! Can hetro’s rent this room too?
If so-- its second honeymoon time!
“Yarr, bend over ya scury wife!”
There is a quote attributed to Simone de Beauvoir that is somewhat analogous to this situation: “There are two kinds of people in this world, women and human beings, and when women attempt to live like human beings, they’re accused of trying to act like men.”
I’m a little confused about the rant myself.
Flamboyant is an adjective. It is used to describe.
Not all gays are flamboyant. Not all flamboyants are gay.
When you explained this in the original thread, Garfield226 agreed with you. There really was no dispute.
But we’re here in the pit anyway. Why? Some gays ARE flamboyant. I’d be willing to bet some of those that are would willingly describe themselves by that term. The word itself, though, is neither used exclusively towards homosexuals nor inherently offensive.
It’s just an adjective. Well, most of the time anyway.
Some of my best friends are flamboyant.
I think the straight men that watch Will and Grace are probably focussing on Grace.
So, you’ve got flamboyant. What’s the other trick?
I’m desperately looking for a quote I made about my co-workers with pictures of their spouses on their desks and wedding rings and so on flaunting their heterosexuality, but I can’t. Bah.

And to recast the quote, I would frame it like this: “There are two kinds of people in this world, homosexuals and human beings, and when homosexuals attempt to live like human beings, they’re accused of being flaunting their sexuality.”
Hmm, I remember that.
Ah, here it is:
Well, I guess I don’t mind families. Except nuclear ones, which can explode, and leave a region unihabitable for decades.
I don’t even want to know what Manchowder is, do I?
Why does it give me this visual of Esprix yelling out “Hungry… Hungry Jack”?
You’re a funny Canadian!
Manchowder. Noun. Slang term for male ejaculate, kept warm and served in quantity iin a bowl with oyster crackers.
It’s the original Hungry Man™ meal. Fit for a king, but also adored by queens.
You realize, of course, that causing this is truly unforgivable 
It was said for effect within my OP, which was intended to feed into sterotypes of all kinds.
If you were offended, I apologize. The personal slight was not intended.
Aside to minty green:
You can now get a life at most convienience stores at a reasonable rate. Right next to the lives, they have souls. You know, like the one you sold when you entered your profession.
My remarks to the schmuck like minty green not withstanding, I do not believe that all lawyers lose their souls and are soulless. I have met many fine lawyers who seemed to retain their souls and humanity. minty does not strike me as one of these beings. My apologies to your fine profession being besmirched by minty’s existence.
Wow.
That’s a lot of sodium.
