[bostonwash]

without the genitalia...

we are all just people. I've read that no one is totally gay or straight. we have different interests at different times in our lives.
It just seems so pathetic or limited the way people used to look at the world with pink and blue glasses on. "men" were this. "women" were this. rediculous.
Be your self. Of those who endure criticism and abuse, we are stronger because of it. Alot of these people that "dish" the critizism and abuse are in fact weak or hiding. We are stronger in the long run. I've seen the "normals" and it ain't that pretty there.

homoseptic.. I luv it. I can just see these 2 kids fishing and this kid saying this. lol.

 

[petek]

What puzzles me is all these holier than though conservatives in politics, yes we have them here too, constantly referring to the "Gay Agenda". Would someone please forward me a copy of it because I've never been able to find one in any bookstore or on-line.

[toggleswitch]

Equally offensive to all...

My agenda?
THIS IS SO NOT PC.

Mind you, this is a paid advertiesment and does not necessarily reflect the views of management. All said just in fun. (As if Toggle NEEDS a disclaimer, at this point! )

Simple: specific days at the gym for certain crowds.

Mary Monday (men who think they are ladies)
T - tt - - Tuesday (ladies)
Wacko Wednseday (all those slightly "off" clingy chaty people)
Fabulous Friday - Everybody, inclding above

Remaining days others not listed above in M, T, W

 

[toggleswitch]

BTW:

I couldn't care less about
Judy, Liza, Cher and Madonna

 

[gizmo]

I love cars and appliances, especially old ones of both.
I am building my own house
I made my own windows for the house, they open and close, seal, look good
I don't care for fancy clothes, cosmetics
I designed and installed my own solar power and solar hot water
I chop firewood every day
I bake cakes and biscuits (cookies to you Americans) and make lunches for a living
I am happily partnered and we have two spoiled cats
I don't mind a bit of Judy, Barbra, occasional Liza
can't stand Madonna
Like Michael Buble, Queen, Cat Stevens, Bronski Beat and Communards, Judy Small, Elton John, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Cranky Frankie (Sinatra)
Partner bought me Cher CD for my birthday, but it was really for him(!)
reasonable decorating taste but not confident or flamboyant with it
absolutely hopeless at housekeeping (can do it but never get around to it)
member of the Greens (political party)
came out to my sisters when I was 18 or 19
came out at work when I was 23 (outed by a "friend" who was questioning her sexuality, tested the waters at work by seeing how they reacted to me...)
lived with my partner since I was 24
came out to my parents when I was 37 (they are Pentecostals but are pretty good about it)
now 42

is that well balanced or a crazy mix???

A very dear couple of gay friends call us "the eccentrics" as we are so different to the gay stereotype...

HOMOSEPTIC.
I LOVE IT. A better term for a dirty old queen.

HETEROSEPTIC.
an average soomeone who needs a bath WITH soap and a razor followed by deodorant.

sep·sis ( P ) Pronunciation Key (spss)
n. pl. sep·ses (-sz)
The presence of pathogenic organisms or their toxins in the blood or tissues.
The poisoned condition resulting from the presence of pathogens or their toxins, as in septicemia.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Greek spsis, putrefaction, from spein, to make rotten.]

I think a new set of terms has been coined!

 

[toggleswitch]

Said: Hey hey hey, what's so sick about hot belly dancers, sexy weather reporters, and short women?


Resposne:
MIND YOU THIS IS IN FUN..NOT REAL..NO HATE-MAIL, PLEASE!

Reproductive sex? That can potentially lead to children?
More overcrowding of the earth? More wasting of precious resources? More poor, hungry uneducated, skill-less hopeless people on other continents?

Wait till the Martians come down and prohibt reproducing and activities leading to it!

 

[jasonl]

It's called......... (in fun as well)

Birth control. Yes, those little latex balloons that you buy at the drug store. Or it could be a little pill, or (extreme) could be tubes tied or vasectomy (ouch). There are other ways besides the traditional way to achieve satisifaction.

I can't get no...

 

[toggleswitch]

Birth control.
Safe, quick, easy, inexpensive. 100% effective:

Step #1- Put Aspirin between knees.
Step #2- Don't let it fall.

Even the Pope can't find fault with this method!
Rhythm method...HA!

 

[michaelman2]

LOL..Toggle...the asprin between the knees is priceless!
My "Gay Agenda" for today is deal with a car dealership, I can not wait <insert evil grin>

 

[gizmo]

aspirin

aspirin is so useful:
birth control - as above
weight loss - tip bottle of 100 aspirins on the floor. Pick them up one at a time.

Maytag Bear for President!!!

I'd vote for you in a second! Let's bring fabulousness AND common sense to the nation!

 

[peterh770]

Well, someone can revoke my card...

I have no compunction to tell anyone that I am gay. Everyone is aroused sexually by something; who am I to judge and I really don't care. If and when I find a partner, then I guess I'll be out. But until then, let them guess and let's see who has the courage to outright ask.

Whoever is running against Maytagbear for president, I will work for you! Vote Libertarian! Individual freedom, responsibilty and capitalism for all. (ooo, the rant I just deleted here).

Give me Fleetwood Mac and especially Stevie Nicks! Give me Genesis with or without Peter Gabriel. Give me Mary Chapin Carpenter, Kate Bush, the Go-Go's, the Roches, the Mavericks and Toby Keith. I never liked Judy or Liza or Cher, and the only Barbra I like is her post-standards, pre-disco phase (I call it her "sex kitten" phase). Give me Louis Prima and Keely Smith.

But, the most important thing for all of us here, give us good appliances!

Oh, and..
"HETEROSEPTIC.
an average soomeone who needs a bath WITH soap and a razor followed by deodorant."

How is that different than METROSEXUAL?

LOL

 

[toggleswitch]

Metrosexual-
Straight man who grooms to excessive standards.

Heteroseptic-
walking case of crabs, B.O., jungle of hair, pony tial, unkempt beard, halitosis, Rotting/missing teeth, foot odor, skid marks on underwear....etc.

Sheets and pillowcases smell like inside fo coffin, etc.

 

[toggleswitch]

What is the difference between....

BTW=>

I heard Metrosexual is "out" and Uber-sexual is "in"?
Qual es la diferencia?

 

[deeptub]

A friend of my always tells people that I'm the only person he knows that can renovate the kitchen, sew new curtains, fix a diesel Mercedes, and throw a fabulous dinner party all on the same day. It's a gross exaggeration, but my interests are quite varied. I think my skills really evolved when I got my first apartment--if you want to live a "glamorous" life on no money, you need to learn how to fix that third-hand mercedes, how to sew that slipcover for the perfect-shape-but-ugh!-that-fabric! chair, how to make cool endtables, how to revive the 25-year-old dishwasher, etc. etc.
I like Barbra, Judy, and to a lesser extent, Liza, in small doses. I really like Ella Fitzgerald, Lena Horne, Sarah Vaughan, and Nancy Wilson. And Doris Day and Frank Sinatra (the younger years). And Miles Davis (pre-Bitches Brew)(well, Bitches Brew and later are cool too, but in small doses), Count Basie, and Duke Ellington. And classical music and lounge music. Oh, and Quincy Jones, too.
I used to be fairly fashion-conscious, but now I think one could sum up my wardrobe as, "not an eyesore". Nice but not fancy. And all on clearance.

Oh, and when I'm startled, I do seem to clutch at where my pearls would be if I wore them (and sometimes uncontrollably yelp like Nathan Lane when he accidentally toots the Thunderbird's horn in The Birdcage), but that probably my only dead-giveaway mannerism.

An Open Letter to Versatronic

Mike, it's okay. We're open-minded here and accept you for who you are. We understand it's not a choice you made, but the way you were born. We know enough now not to say "Where did we go wrong?" Embrace your straightness, and don't let anyone EVER make you feel you're less than perfect because of it. We love you, and nothing can change that.

Straight, schmaight--as long as you're happy.

You know, my friend Sid has a daughter that I think is straight. Maybe I should introduce you. And I believe there's a club around here that caters to like-minded people.

Just make sure you "play safe". What's that awful disease straight people get? Pregnancy? Something like that.

Fondly,

veg

 

[veg-o-matic]

Okay, is it me, or are we the straightest bunch of queers on earth? Hell, I've been to the demolition derby more than once. And I liked it!

Apparently, we can bring home the bacon,
Fry it up in a pan
And never let you forget you're a man.

[bethann]

Guess I better keep my big mouth shut!

Like that's gonna happen!

Some of these stories are heart warming and some are heart breaking!
I've been hanging around here for a while now, and came to realize no one discriminates anything. As long as your a good person that's all that matters. Plain and simple!

Hey Toggle! Watch the ponytail comments! Your not that far away from me you know! I wouldn't want Dean to cut his off! ( even though he wants to)
