pink is the very essence of gay

One of the many precise reasons why I don't want a d*mn thing to do with it. Just helps perpetuate the stereotype image along with the limp writsts and lisps. Everyone here knows if I found my dream 1958 Frigidaires in PINK!!! (that's right, spelle PINK), I'd be swappin the machines out with eitherr Robert or Greg's 1958 Frigidaires cuz I know they'd both love to have their hands on a pink set.
 
Goodness,

such passion, such drama, such, dare I say it?

Gayity...

Over colors.

O! my paws and whiskers, if someone offered me a Flair in Avocado, I'd take it. (Have to be the double-door oven, tho'.)
Ditto an 806 or Unimatic.

I just prefer the shades of the late '50s to the colors of the 1970's.

PANK! is a very gay color. Avocado is a fruit. Seems to me like they both fit us perfectly!
 
It's spelled like its spoken PANK

Kevin, my grandmother who was born and raised in rural North Carolina would be so proud of you if you were to succeed in getting me to say "PANK" !

The whole "pink, vs "pank" is a long standing family joke...

I'm talking about the same grandmother who gave me a powder blue leisure suit on my 17th birthday...of course I was very gracious and thankful...but I'll be damned if I ever wore the thing!
 
Sucker for pastels...

Jay and I had a pink living room for quite a while. Yup...that's a pink shag rug, too. About 2 months ago, I painted it seafoam green (any excuse for new furniture, etc.) Also the kitchen is turquoise.

Course some of us straight guys dig pastels, too! (Yes, my Razr is pink)

It never ceases to amaze how at the mere mention you're on the hunt for pink appliances, that the eyebrows raise questioningly. The whole color-gendrification thing is tiring; people, get a grip! : )

Both coppertone and avocado aren't so bad, but you can keep that harvest. Blechh.
 
Ken,

my sympathies. My mother forced me to wear a double-knit robbin's egg blue leisure suit to Sunday School. I protested and showed up at breakfast in a nice, sane linen jacket.

To make sure I had no choice, my dearest brother "accidently" squeezed the maple syrup all the way across the table and all over my jacket...purely by accident, of course.

Your gramma would jus' die if she heard the way my honey pronounces Turquoise...
 
Well,

Part of it is, he's very very butch and has a deeper voice than me...and mine is lower tenor register.

So out comes (swish)(flip of the hand) tüüüüürrrrhquaw' (rising lilt on the 'quaw') (flash of sparkly fingernail polish)

I just love it, cause it's also the way most folks in that area of the country say it, including the really butch ka'boys, who just ooze cow shit and beer out of every pore.

Me, I have enough trouble spelling the word, never mind pronouncing it.
 
Course some of us straight guys dig pastels, too!

I can't stand these ******* earth tone colors that have been popular for a while now! Makes me feel claustrophobic like I'm in a damn cave.
 
OK,

How about an avocado, polyester leisure suit, with a snip of shag carpet showing from the V of the shirt, a man-perm, platform shoes, and a bad porn-star moustache!!

> I just had a vision of 1970's Lee Majors. <

No no, that was post-perm Robert Reed. Remember how the entire Brady family suddenly appeared with perms? It totally killed the Mike>Greg fantasy I had going.
 
Keven:

You say you'd take an 806 in avocado?

My worst nightmare: I go to a yard or estate sale, and there, in all their glory, stand a minty-mint Maytag 906 pair, the electronic push-button wonder machines of my dreams, seldom used by their little-old-lady owner, perfect as can be, complete with manuals.

In avocado. I would probably have a stroke on the spot from sheer frustration. The greatest machines in the world, in the one colour I could not possibly, under any circumstances, bring myself to live with.
 
well, yup, yup I would

Not happily, mind. But I could always epoxy paint it turquoise or PANK.

There just aren't that many 806s around and I'm not proud.

Not going to touch the Brady's. How they ever got through even a day of shooting with all the gag and pun opportunities is beyond me.

 
~and a bad porn-star moustache!!

moustaches are coming back and I'm liking it!

Perhaps I'm getting way too conservative as my trolldom futher manifests itself, however I like white, black or SS appliances and prefer to change the color of the ROOM with the trends.. it's cheaper.
