I didn't bother to call in gay; I figured it would be much more useful to show up to my place of work and promote queer marriage rights by being extra gay. The feather boa and repeated cries of "YOU GO, GIRL!" caused some looks, but what eventually got me sent home was the blowjob I gave to the UPS deliveryman in the bathroom.
I think actually having quidnunc as a mod would be brilliant. I'd also vote for tracicle taking the power away from him after a day or so while pointing and laughing, because the "wailing and gnashing of teeth" combo is usually fun.
If a remake were necessary, I say that John Cameron Mitchell (Hedwig and the Angry Inch) would be the only logical choice to play/sing the role of Frank (although I think a case could be made for Eddie Izzard, and Jack Black as Eddie would be dementedly inspired casting).
But not only is a remake unnecessary, it's really among the worst ideas ever. I mean, like, secretly-firing-US-attorneys levels of worst.
(I resurrected my OG account, dormant now for almost 2 years, for this comment... I've obviously been around under other names since, though.)
It's been wonderful to see MoFi so active for the past couple of days. It's still my homepage (even though I haven't logged in other the "bone" account for a while), and I do follow it.
My reasons for not logging in under this name are long and involved, and I shan't go into them now. Generally, I feel like I've been pulling away from the internet for a while: health stuff, grad school preparations (and disappointments), a newish relationship, and work have all combined to cause me to be less of a participant and more of a voyeur online. My blog is more-or-less dormant at this point after almost six years to regular-to-semiregular posting, and I'm kind of trying to decide the extent to which I want to forge on ahead with it.
That being said, I've always enjoyed MoFi, and have made some awesome friends here... got a lovely email from kamus a while ago (I'll respond soon, honest!), and koko left a really gracious comment on my blog yesterday which was in large part the motivator for this comment. I hope all is well with everyone, and while I can't promise a lot of participation know that I'm still hanging out here somewhat.
Love,
I'd like to say that I applaud mandyman's brave stance in this thread. I'd like to add further that mandyman, space kitty and I are all really trashed right now because we went to a Dada party (really) and danced to music from Revenge of the Nerds, and that I will no doubt regret posting to this thread in the morning. We all apologize for our recent crankiness.
I'm going to go sing "Are You Ready For The Sex Girls" off-key now.

In California, the news anchors speak with a straight, liltless accent, but go to great pains to properly pronounce the names of those with hispanic names with the appropriate hispanic accent.
It's an NPR thing as well. You'll hear a report delivered in a perfect newscaster's accent, and at the end it's "For NPR News, I'm Mandalit Del Barrrrrrco."
This is an excellent site. Cheers.

I wish I could sue the fake lesbians I see making out with each other for shock value at clubs. Profoundly annoying.
