I don't think it's flimsy at all - Ginsberg was forced out on a very uncomfortable date with a woman, he has commented at least twice prior to this episode about homosexuality, and in this episode, his unresolved issues with sexual identity were the tipping point. I wouldn't rate the probability as a slam dunk, since…

I think the problem that SC&P had with Ginsburg was they thought he was speaking metaphorically but he was quite literal. You know those creative types - they're a little eccentric!

Actually, I hate to disagree with your police work there, Lou, but the computer is in fact an IBM - the IBM System/360 to be precise.

Occasionally, I stumble into some street musician that is so good, I have no idea how they haven't landed a recording contract, and the same goes for actresses. How in the hell did this gorgeous, sexy woman not land a high-profile gig until now? No wonder Megan likes it in LA so much!
