I'M A GOVERNMENT MAN.

My then-boyfriend got me a framed version of the vinyl single of this song for my birthday a few years ago and it was absolutely the best birthday gift I've ever received.

Oh yeah, I'm definitely being very social - this is actually the first time in my life I've had a group of really solid gay friends, which has been great. So I think you're right that's the best approach for now. Thanks!

Thanks for the thoughts - I should add that I'm really not miserable by any stretch, just not quite ready for something new (or at least, I think I'm not?). And I'm being plenty social, so I guess I'm doing things right already.

I'm almost three months out of a 3.5 year relationship that ended when my boyfriend broke it off, and I feel like I should be out there dating again but I'm not sure if I'm ready. (I'm still pretty hurt and definitely not totally over him.) But then, of course, I wonder if I just sort of need to force myself to get…

Yeah, this is right. I didn't think it was such a bad idea, really - sounds kinda fun, and it adds some sort of consequence to rejecting your partner's interests.

No, he's saying that he felt that the recycling of that line would have felt hopelessly lazy and defeated. He didn't call Godard lazy at all.

Alaska for winner of All-Stars 2 or bust!

Some drag is about that, but the drag queens that look most like women tend to rely entirely on their look and then the performance is quite weak. We're speaking in generalities, here, but as Yvette says, that's the tendency.

I also really appreciated Roger's Talking Heads reference at the end when he answered "a large automobile" for the minivan question.

"Is there more than one way to do a wedding episode of a sitcom, other than to have months of planning spiral into chaos as miniature crises coalesce into an all-out disaster?"

It's nowhere near the same level of exposure or frequency as what Cameron describes here, but I'm a gay guy and host a bar trivia night in my city and this really hit home for me. Despite being very much out and not caring about it in my everyday life, I'm always self-conscious about seeming "too gay" in that setting,…

It really is extraordinary (and I'm not just saying that because of my avatar.)

He has about twice as many twitter followers as anyone else in the cast, so he clearly has something going for him that you're not picking up on. Really, I think this thread is just another example of this old quote in action: "If you don't like someone, the way he holds his spoon will make you furious. If you do like…

I think that whole album (Everything That Happens Will Happen Today) is pretty great, myself.

Oh my God, hearing this while on acid would probably have killed me. I've listened to this a bunch over the years and the back half is so still unsettling, even after being somewhat accustomed to it. It's one of those things I listen to now and then where if someone was able to hear what I was listening to in my…

This song is difficult to listen to, but the video is neat.

That's perfect. My comparison point was always Delta Burke.

I disagree - I wouldn't call anything she's done all-out toxic and don't think she deserves to be called a bitch (she really seems to realize she's not at her best, personality-wise), but I think we're still on the same page here for the most part. The poster I responded to called her a "fucking villain." She's been…

"all of that horrible shit?" You make her sound like she's Stalin, instead of someone trying to win a reality show. At worst she's been grumpy.
