Throw on Your Best Cardigan and Celebrate Fall 2011 with the Gays of ILX

and btw a "jesse reports" thread would be most welcome

very drunk 24yo hit on me while I was watching World Series in a gay sports bar. We kissed a little and I gave him a hug when I left.

It's kind of the opposite of "DIY"! It's DIFY (does it for you). And they do make one that mops

I just remembered the name of M1ndy K@ling's blog: Things I've Bought that I Love.

I do not know what a Smart Cat Box is, but it sounds intriguing. Might have to get one for the boy's 4-month-old kitten.

Write-up of the queer camp @ Occupy Baltimore, wheeee!!!

omg i want that mop

PS awesome Morbzy!!

great name choice. there's a punk house slash performance art/music venue in chicago called mortville that i always get dragged to, so usually the name has a semi-bad connotation for me, but it's really perfect for the circumstances (also: hi guys)

*~~**-Hi-**~~*

Who are you??

hi, uh, i live in chicago, have lurked ilx off and on for a long time but have only recently started posting a little bit?

Couple Chicago peeps on this thread (including me). Welcome. :)

hi, gays!

Huzzah!! I am so happy you decided to join us!!

You should be getting your honorary membership card and safer sex packet within 4-6 weeks.

Do you two know each other?

No, but I always get rly excited when we get new homos.

thanks stevie, although i'll probably lose the membership card like i did my cosi card and my blick card

the hipster thread is that way ====>

there's one in the lobby of my office building, it's p aight

good breakfast sandwiches

cosi's bagels are called "squagels" because they are square, and i always found that name disgusting but i sort of miss them now that i'm not next door to a cosi every day

Hi there, new person!

So I won a pile of booze at the gay film fundraiser silent auction last week (two bottles of scotch and one bottle each of silver tequila and spiced rum, to be precise). Unfortunately I feel sick-ish at the moment, but a good strong scotch totally relieves sinus congestion right?

i find a shot always goes a long way. a shot and then like keep drinking your water and tea or vitamins or whatever.

Or or or wait til roommate gets back and then make hot buttered rum??

cosi's bagels are called "squagels" because they are square, and i always found that name disgusting but i sort of miss them now that i'm not next door to a cosi every day

lol i really would love to tell the founder of cosi that making a bagel a square instead of a circle and calling it a "squagel" doesn't make it unique or anything

everything in the score should be a square or served in a square cup

store*

a square bagel i just don't know - that's like against a law of nature

it's really stupid

i feel stupid saying "squagel" but i've worked at enough food chains with fucking stupid names for their products to know that the only person stupider than the person that doesn't say "squagel" is the person that goes out of their way to be to cool to say "squagel"

I only heard about squagles/Cosi through a David Cross bit. Had no idea they were real until I moved here. I like their caprese sandwich, which is especially good when I'm in the Loop, which is kind of a food desert after 7pm.

square was their thing tho huh? why is that

they just like, liked square things

right? like pizza slices, sandwiches. no? i feel everything was squarish

Ugh. I had no idea that Cosi called them "squagels"!

I never find myself at a Cosi. Usually Corner Bakery, though recently I've been in Au Bon Pains a couple of times.

Welcome 1staethyr! I'm a Chicagoan, too.

jesse ur so nice

i feel the world could use a few more ppl like u

Wow, thanks, though I'm not sure what I did that was nice!

i've seen "squonuts" in shops. gave them the side eye

Excuse my ignorance, but what is the significance of the name "Mortville"?

it's the name of the queer shantytown ruled by edith massey in desperate living

PS everyone there's an interesting bit of discussion on the OKC thread about gay stuff re: availability of NSA sex, having sex with friends, etc. if you guys wanna jump in

Just when you thought it was safe - OK CUPID PART 3: The Return of the WOO!

it's the name of the queer shantytown ruled by edith massey in desperate living

!! I LOVE Edith Massey and I can't believe I haven't seen Desperate Living! Gonna correct this problem this week. It's not available streaming or I would be watching it right now on the bus.

Desperate Living is up there with Female Trouble imo. Peak Waters.

I deleted OKC (again)

Still have my dummy profile up. Sound and fury, signifying nothing. Forgot my login.
