*Please do not tell me I've pulled a John Kerry and spelled it wrong. I don't care.

What if he meant soy cheese?

Is that too effeminate, even for me? Should I skip spin today?

Not at all. I can see you now, slurping down that yogurt, glistening... sweaty from a vicious spin, wiping the creamy forth from your lower lip and cracking your workout buddy, Bruce, on the thigh with yout towel, exhorting "My quads and are so burning. They're totally torn up! The muscle really stands out since the exfoliation treatment..."

What you picture as tap dancing ain't shit. Hell, even historically, black tap dancers were quite different from the Fred Astaires and Gene Kellys. You just haven't been exposed to them.

4. Are you dating a black man?

5. Yez.

While I agree with you in principle, he's performing to Vivaldi's Four Seasons tonight. It is a proven fact that Vivaldi's four seasons should not be played anywhere except for Hallmark stores.

Aren't you supposed to be talking to God today? You're getting drunk instead, aren't you?

In the last Yanks/Angels game there was the play where the 1st baseman caught a dribbler, and threw to the plate, too late. The batter was safe- everyone was safe.

The announcer said it was a fielder's choice, but I thought that required at least someone was out. Is that a FC, or is it a hit or error?

...and that diamond commercial where they age that waspy couple from Pierce Brosnan and Gwyneth Paltrow into David Brinkley and Barbara Bush. That one always gets me misty...

Its forever.

Unless either of you catches the other.

And I can see you across the locker room, snickering at the guy slipping on a button own collar dress shirt, while at the same time admiring the hand of the fabric of the spread collar dress shirt that the dude next to you is slipping on, and getting a little squicked out when you overhear a couple of guys suggest that they go out for post-workout cheesesteaks. Cheesesteaks? Gross!!! You'd almost rather get a blowjob!

I think that's stupid. If the ball gets away and you leave the batter's box towards the dugout, you should be out. You either don't care or aren't paying attention. If the catcher doesn't tag you on a ball that hits the dirt, you can walk towards the dugout, take off your batting helmet (and hitting armour) and wait until he gets to the dugout and then run to first? That's just dumb.

Could be worse than that. Could be straight and the musical theatre is that Billy Joel musical.

Billy Joel and Elton John toured together. WTF? That's a really odd crossover audience the promoter was going for there... I can't imagine any of Elton's gay fan base tolerating a 14 minute Captain Jack>Italian Restaurant. That would seem to be to be gay repellant.

Shit, its straight repellant.

Fielder's choice.

stupider still is the catcher who lets the batter do all that yet fails to put the guy out. Unless the umpire says he was out. It's a bright-line rule. Applies (pretty sure) when someone fails to step on home plate and goes to the dugout. He's not out until he's in the dugout. If he goes part way and the catcher doesn't tag him, and he comes back, who's dumb and who's dumber?

BTW, Hank, fielder's choice doesn't need a putout. Just usually happens that way. You get an FC if the fielder tries to get a lead runner (e.g., on a double play) whether or not he's out, there's an error, or it was a bad throwing decision.

Nonsense. You'd already left. You slipped on your tank top and bolted for the door, wwhere Bruce was waiting outside in his deep purple VW Beetle Cabriolet. High on spin endorphins, you wave your hand through your hair, flipping your dyed blonde Flock of Seagulls bangs from your Versace sunglasses and squeal as Bruce punches it...

Off you ride, ride, ride... "I'm Still Standing" banging away at top volume, filtering into the breeze...

Nothing is worse than musical theater, but I agree that some subgeneres are worse than others, and Billy Joel may top that. Not that I actually mind Billy Joel, but argh.

I went to the Elton John / Billy Joel concert. Sort of. I lived right next to the stadium and listened from a balcony. It was pretty decent, in a quiet hits of the 70s kind of way. Based on the crowd I watch filing in and out, I think you underestimate both of their 40-60 y.o. white suburban fan base.

This from a guy who is very aware of how his butt looks in tight pants? I suppose, in a relative sense, cheese IS very macho.

Even if I have to be gay in your fantasies, do I have to be this 80s Miami Vice kind of gay?
