Are You Musical? The ILX Gays' Appletini Bar

My fag bumming didn't pass the committee then.

HAAA

i know, i was really trying to think of something but i don't think i'm ready for rolling thread titles yet.

thanks

btw appletinis are good

Surmounter couldn't have come up with anything gayer, Morbs.

I'm thinking now it shoulda been called "I Hate Men!" Next time.

We've never had a regular lesbian poster have we?

Jeanne Fury.

Am I the only person with a photo of themselves drinking an appletini

I hope so

We should name ourselves after characters in "Queer As Folk" -- just because!

Also, Toraneko, I think.

I like appletinis, but instead of apple I use scotch and instead of tini I use ice.

these threads are gay.

I guess I have to post now. I could do with an appletini, but would prefer Jag.

It's not like any single one of the other threads would've rivaled ILM's DMB thread for sheer heft.

- shot of rum (who does this?)

^^THIS WAS MY LIFE IN HIGH SCHOOL

so many regrets...

I have red wine - it is a French Syrah. Fag marks out of 10?

(I am also sitting on my sofa in a slanket on the internet on a Friday night. Fag marks out of 10?)

omg slanket

Syrah is classy unlike Merlot

Merlot is for skanks.

ILM's DMB thread

That better nor be what I think it is.

I'll be having some Stoli Vanil uncolas tnite, I bet.

white zin == stripper juice

i think i will be drinking GODFATHERS this evening

that's scotch & amaretto for those playing along at home

Ooooh that sounds good.

I think Surmounter and I will be getting totally inebriated on Whiskey to dull the pain of our (un)welcome visiting friend this evening.

Although have you ever tried a blue ramzi?

2 parts vodka
1 part oj
1 part cranberry.

I guess I deserve this for naming the thread tho I don't know/care about mixology.

omg blue ramzis are sooooo good

but johnny walker might beat it.

A simple Stoli and soda works for me.

my favorite drink is kinda complicated:

1 BEER
1 STOMACH

PUT BEER IN STOMACH, REPEAT RECIPE UNTIL SATISFIED

=P to taste

replace BEER with BOURBON or REALLY GOOD GIN, occasionally

What is a really good bourbon?

I bought a REALLY GOOD GIN recently. Hendricks. It's infused with cucumber, and you're supposed to garnish it with cucumber instead of lime. Refreshing.

someone was just telling me about hendricks.

btw i think it's caps month... i been feeling them a LOT too lately

wow. cukes? for reals?

That sounds so.... healthy. And maybe good to eat with sushi.

I am already regretting alcohol theme, shoulda gone w/ Cole Porter.

Who can identify origin of "Are you musical?" (no research)

^my answer is inexact and possibly wrong^

I logged into the ILE forum
thread and found three or four queers
talking together in queertalk.
I tried to be friendly but heard
myself talking to one in hiptalk.

WOW

my mom always jokingly called gays "musical"

"gayer than christmas" <--- another mom classic

ur mom sounds like a total hoot

Syrah is classy unlike Merlot LOL

Jesus, people, it took me like half an hour to catch up with all this shit. All the stuff I wanted to mention is now obsolete but I'll do it anyway

My aforementioned purchase of:
12" of Whitney Houston - "I'm Every Woman" House Remixes
12" of Bizarre, Inc. - "I'm Gonna Get You"
12" of Black Box - "Everybody, Everybody"
LP of Olivia Newton-John - "Olivia"

will forevermore be exponentially more gay than a Steel Magnolias DVD. Steel Magnolias is just girly; that shit is gay.

I guess the favorite porn stars didn't take off, either. I suppose I'll refrain for now...

Why aren't the gay NYCers FAPping soon? Why don't we arrange this.

I can't abide them even now and then.

That is manifestly not true.

Abide what? NYC gays? Appletinis? Steel Magnolias?

hendricks gin is AWESOME

ps drunk

good bourbon = knob creek, btw

I'll be cooler about the NYT article if it published a followup addressing the growing popularity of buggery among hets.

lou you're engaged??! wow!

ok what am i doing tonight. monday night in brooklyn where to go

Well it's all very unofficial, obviously. But yes, the bf and I are ready to be husbands after almost four years together.

you must be so happy

i'm happy and i've never even met you! congrats to you and your family ;) any pets?

i'm not sure if i should just go out on my own or not.

Thank you, Surmounter--we are thrilled!

We have one clumsy, obnoxious cat.

hahaha better than no cat :-)

unlike straights, we're less likely to have had boyfriends in the eighth grade, or to have your peers validate these relationships.

lol "eighth grade," "validate"

curtis, hello

hi!

what's everyone doing tonight?

besides being gay

Mostly just that.

i know, i think me too. but here's the thing, are you being gay OUT, or staying IN and being gay?...

Staying in tonight. Tomorrow, though, our rings arrive, so we're going out to dinner and proposing.

So gay!

I found out the other day that the guy who's replacing me in my band (I quit) is a married 20-something gay.

married to a woman?

lou that is SO CUTE you're gonna be such a mess (or are you not a cryer?)

No, I said "a gay"! I stay on topic, Sur.

Haha- It's all so premeditated! Maybe if it was a complete surprise....

yea but look some gays marry women!

surprise him with something...

that you have a wife

Oh good point. No, he has a husband.

or you could take him to the bathroom at the restaurant for a real surprise

i'm sorry that's awful

I knew that was coming! :)

Yeah, but what about the lead singer, jaymc?

who, by the way, lists way too many favorites <a href="http://www.canastamusic.com/about/matt/";>here</a> and the list of movies mostly confirms for me he's not gay (enough).

Re the favorites, I know. Our official list of "influences" (on MySpace/Facebook/etc.) is the same way. I tried to tell him that once you list more than a handful, it's completely meaningless.

Also, he's pretty straight, yeah. Although he did wear a dress in a college production of Caryl Churchill's Cloud 9.

HEY SURMOUNTER CALL YOUR COUSIN SHE WANTS TO HANG OUT WITH YOU

(saw her last night)

i'm home and i just bought some maker's mark sooooo those are my plans basically

Are you going solo?

I am spending another night in bed sick, rah.

i know i texted her this morning! we're gonna make plans.

svedka for me

been drinking a little 2 much tho. i mean not in general, but this past week. i went out with my parents, and had 3 martinis, and they thought i was an alcoholic! i mean, look, i can handle 3 martinis. but then they were only too happy when i forgot my bag at the restaurant...

ha, now I'm trying to think up a list of all the gay trombonists throughout history.

They're called "tromboners". When they're gay, at least.

my boss once told me that "martinis are like breasts. one's not enough, and three's too many."

speechless

The show Two and a Half Men (with the musical theme that goes ♪♫ Meennnn♪♪ between scenes) was on after the news tonight and it was about gay people and it was awful beyond how awful I'm sure that show normally is. It was like it was written in an alternate reality where producers want to cash in on the gay trend late in the game, but they have no clue how no clue how to present gays (Oh wait, that's not an ALTERNATE reality, is it?). E.g.: (the roommates have to pretend to be a gay couple due to an hilarious mix-up) "Well, if I'm going to do this for you, then I get to be the husband!"

If only there were a few gay people in Hollywood that they could have asked.

Also, nice use of notes! ♫

those notes are making me happy

thx. i like me my alt- characters.

it's silly to be disgusted w/ that stupid show, but it was depressing (like most shitty sitcoms are) and i felt like we lived thru will & grace all those years for naught.

New thread title??

ILX Gays thread: ♪♫ Meennnn♪♪

or is that too dingdongcentric?

Seriously, make it so.

Eric, you mean he didn't list enough of the right kind of bad movies?

ha, now I'm trying to think up a list of all the gay trombonists throughout history.

Rusty trombonists?

I went to see Paranoid Park at last, so that was kind of like being a vicarious gay chickenhawk. Then I fell asleep before 11 (very middle-aged gay).

ih and Sur, come have mint juleps with the horserace Saturday if yr so inclined:

Yeh, we're at nearly 2100 posts, so I will make a new thread.

Here I go... making a new thread....
