You, madam, are hereby inducted into the DTB Hall of Fame (not going to state each of the criteria here, because I don't want everyone trying out at once, and because one of them is that you can't be TRYING to get in.)

But make no mistake -- it is an honor, indeed.

Speaking of decorating oneself with flashing things, I saw some guy over the weekend wearing a t-shirt that flashed. How fucking annoying. If he had been even at all attractive I might have asked where he kept the battery pack but, unsurprisingly, he was not at all attractive.

Rose's Turn or Marie's Crisis?

although some straight people hang out there, too,

Straight people, yeah. Straight men? Not many.

So outside the office today is a bright yellow Hummer with a rainbow sticker in the back window. Is this the new lesbian vehicle of choice?

My brother was recently bemoaning the recent takeover of formerly gay haunts by straight people. The new La Strada, THE place to be from approximately ten am to ten pm for Sunday Brunch before it was torched two years ago, is now full of straight people trying to bring back a bye-gone era. South Beach, nee Heaven (again, pre-torching, there's a pyromaniac that's been going through Montrose for the last few years), is now full of straight people, and there have been not a few awkward moments when the sexual orientation of a dance partner was misjudged.

"This," my brother declared with disgust, "is what happens when we go mainstream on Bravo."

Of course, when I suggested that his brethren take back La Strada some Sunday afternoon, he declared that the lemming brothers have managed to get themselves firmly entrenched in the less spacious Berryhill Tamale, and it will take another fire to get them to move on. Considering the murder a few years back on that very patio during Sunday brunch, back when it was Urbana, I'd think they'd be eager to relocate, but the lemming point is a valid one.

I saw him when he was a guest on Ellen and he seemed very interested in discussing gardening with Ellen. I can't recall if he mentioned a wife or an SO of any kind or not. I am sure that his sexuality was not a topic of discussion.

I have no idea whether all those things mean anything or not.

Loving the sample size Sebby uses to support his assertions of absolute rules once again.

ETA bright yellow H2s are, hands down, the most offensive vehicle on the road today. Fuck, I can't even say that, because any stretch H2 is more offensive than a regular H2, but I have never seen a bright yellow stretch H2. I'm sure it's just a matter of time.

I wouldn't think lesbians would be into hummers...

She is talking about an H2, I think. Not an actual Hummer. Not that this in any way relates to your comment. I'm just saying. My fantasy: each H2 in existence runs over and crushes a Mini Cooper. The owners of the H2s are thrown in jail and their vehicles destroyed like they destroy rabid dogs.

If I get to feeling more bloodthirsty, the owners of the H2s will also be destroyed like rabid dogs. Or rabid squirrels.

It says Hummer all over it. I think it's the Make. H2 is the model.
I saw an Excursion stretch in LA a few weeks ago. I think you would have liked that.

I cant take it anymore. I have been in heavy back and forth email with my cheers friend. and while nauseating and unoriginal, i think its not wristslittingly gauche to say "cheers" on the end of the first email of the day. But by the tenth, when one throgh nine have the cheers signoff? Its driving me nuts. Like its reminding me she just may not be as cool as I thought. I asked her why she did this and she said "ha ha, you are so funny- I had a british friend and picked it up form him". Like that is an excuse. What can I do? Can I set up my email filter to exorcise the word "cheers" from any incoming emails? Can I do it for just hers since its good to know when new people use it that they might not be as cool as they seemed when I met them after having drunk six bourbon and cokes.

Namaste!

If H2 is just the model, then what is the model for the vehicle that is actually used to carry troops around? Whatever they are called, they need to go.

And bitch please, I live in Texas. I see stretch SUVs every fucking day.

I specifically noted that my post had nothing to do with Burger's. Go get an afternoon chai soy latte or whatever you are drinking these days.

Burger as in Cooter? He didn't post. I think you are due for a hot steaming cup of Nature's Remedy Menoupausal Memory Boost, Spinsty.

Well, was it a Clear Channel station? (they likey the wingnuts)

After a little internet research, I think I have solved the "mystery". This singer (Josh Groban -- I think I'm on pretty safe ground concluding that he's an MOT, or at least that his father is) is a wunderkind a la Charlotte Church (although he's not quite that young.) He apparently made an appearance on Ally McBeal as a shy and retiring teenager with an amazing voice.

So this song that I heard on the Top 40 show is not technically wingnut music, although certainly the born-agains have interpreted it as such (and it does sound suspiciously like one of those songs on those commercials for wingnut music where the zombified audience is waving its collective hands in the air). It is more like he's just got a beautiful voice and an angelic face. He's not really classified as classical, pop or "easy listening" but apparently isn't ready (or, rather, his voice isn't ready) for opera performances.

His voice really is beautiful, which I didn't notice on the radio, as I was so distracted by trying to figure out whether a Jesus song was actually that mainstream.

I'm sure you were all on pins and needles waiting for resolution of that heady question.
