« Response to European Reaction to VT Massacre | Main | Freak: VTech Shooter Sent "Manifesto" to NBC News Between Shootings »
This is an odd week. On Monday, I harangued the Boston Herald for their light-hearted, cheery story about Holocaust Remembrance Day. Now, today, I have to praise a Boston Globe columnist.
Poor Alex Beam. I feel his pain.

While no one noticed, "That's so gay" has changed meaning. Ask a kid.

That change occurred years ago, as my sister used that phrase in the 90s for =everything=. It replaced "that's so lame"
Anyway, kudos on the post title. My husband's name is Stuart, and that "song" drives him crazy, but I can't help start saying it sometimes.

I always love a good Dead Milkmen reference.
I posit: All aspects of mankind's existence are addressed by either The Simpsons or Dead Milkmen lyrics.
Discuss.

Brett,
Your theory is crap....unless you also include Seinfeld. Then you could have something.

Seeing as how the majority of the staff of the Boston Globe is homosexual ... I can't see how this guy will last the night holding his job, insulting an entire culture with the broad brush of homophobia the way he did.
How absolutely Imusian.

Where's the gay Al Sharpton on this? No outrage?
Oh, right, we already have a thread about Rosie.

The Seattle Post-(Un)Intelligencer also ran a column in the opinion section the other day titled, "Does my car say I'm gay?" It reminds me of the hilarious "You know how I know you're gay?" scene (and outtakes) from "40-Year Old Virgin" ('You know how I know you're gay? You listen to Coldplay".)
My Top 5 Gay Cars:
1.) Subaru Outback. You can't spit and not hit one in Seattle. Lesbian Capital, USA.
2.) BMW Z3. In reserching ads for them a number of years ago, I went to the dealer and asked the salesman "What type of person buys the Z3?" He replied flatly, "Women and gay guys." 'Nuff said.
3.) VW Bugs. A flower holder. In a car. Driven by men. Not right.
4.) Honda Element. The boxy, green and very gay version of a Hummer.
5.) Any Prius. Ugly, gay AND slow.
My parting shot:
"You know how I know you're gay?"
"No? How?"
"You have double standards when it comes to the word 'gay'."

Note to nogo:
"You know how I know you're gay?"
Nogo: "No. How?"
"You think everything relates to the Iraq War."

Henry,
Is that 'gay' internet speak?
If so...
"You know how I know you're gay..."

On the topic of punk rock, and given your twenty in NH, at first I thought you were making a reference to The Queers.
