(Not Just) Knee Deep: The Spring 2012 Gay Thread

Really? He was the original prickly pear, though others def eclipsed him on that front.

Atheism keeps you from reading books?

just the Book, i thought.

I am no prickly pear, see?

I'm sort of doing a piss take here.

as an atheist I can quote more Bible passages than any fundiefuck.

"thou shalt not let...mooches into thy...hut."

*moochers

Fuck.

My 7th Day Adventist upbringing gave me a really good understanding of the Bible, which led me to atheism. A lot of people think the SDAs are nuts, but they act nuts b/c they follow biblical law and principles without all the bullshit and pagan influences that the Catholics and governments introduced. E.g., they go to church on the 7th day.

Also, people think they are nuts b/c they are nuts in a way that is different from the majority of Christians.

is a 'piss take' like a 'spit take' but instead of sputtering your coffee you pee willy-nilly?

Like from surprise?

Sooner or later we' got to work atre going to have to sell it.

How do you like having them?

Am I absent too often to be a regular anymore? I suppose so. I feel mostly like I don't have much to contribute to the discussion these days. Not doing anything particularly exciting and gay. Just living my mediocre domestic existence and trying to get my brain under control. :)

I promise at some point this summer there will be exciting and/or controversial stories to tell. Or not.

We all are.

baloney, I hated when I clicked every 3 hours and there were posts hidden already. (usually about bad music)

RIP Bimble

According to Wiki, Taco, Berlin, and Cameo all did versions of "Long Black Veil." Hmmm. Maybe Johnny Cash had a cameo at a Emmylou Harris concert in Berlin where they sang it and then had tacos afterward backstage.

Any of you seen this? Is it legit or just more Armond looniness?

I wish I could've seen the same movie you saw.

It's been playing for 8 days at the West Village theater where all the amateurish gay movies run, and I'd never heard of it. Hardly anyone reviewed it.

Amateurish gay movies give me a headache. Moving on, then...

I hope the Summer thread title has a P-funk reference too.

you're running out of time, the solstice is Wednesday (?) and I ain't waitin'.

Only saw one paddling at Folsom East; fair was penned in to let CONDO OWNERS get to their buildings (kill kill kill), so I suspect that was my last year.

Also was amused by someone wearing this shirt:

CONDO OWNERS (kill kill kill)

I assure you, many condo owners who bought before the crash want to kill themselves more.

condo owners in Chelsea aren't going anywhere, I'm pretty sure.

(NYC real estate back to 'booming')

Shoulda bought there, I guess.

And rented at a steep profit.

which theater, chelsea clearview? if so, to be fair the non-amateurish ones like Weekend end up there also, and it's not really surprising that a minority-cast gay film isn't getting huge press.

that said, i knew i was going to pass on seeing "The Skinny" based on the trailer/writer/director alone.

ugh i'm dying for a non-terrible stateside gay movie to come about, i can't even remember what the last one i liked was past the 90s

Would put money on Armond actually being right this time around.

Of course, I thought Noah's Arc was merely OK comfort food TV (+ eye candy).

fauxmarc: No, the Quad on 13th St.

Would put money on Armond actually being right this time around.

comparing patrik-ian polk to gus van sant kills any trust i have in the rest of that article

the quad seemed like it had a lot of random stuff playing i always wanted to check out but never did

smallest screens in Manhattan. usually worst 'arthouse' films too.

I haven't seen any PIP work outside of the TV series explicitly developed for cable TV gay ghetto, which is why I'm not rushing to dismiss yet.

The days are getting shorter now.

morbs started a summer thread

Way to leave a forwarding address, Morbs.
