BTDT.

He said STEREOTYPE. And you calling people breeders isn't any better.

Ah so much tolerance in this post.

Usually used in a disparaging way. A homosexual calling someone straight a "breeder" Is inline with someone calling a homosexual a "fag"

Except that ‘breeder’ is often used (by gay people) jokingly to straight people’s faces (though DKeithA’s usage here doesn’t seem to be such a case), whereas straight people rarely use ‘fag’ jokingly to gay people’s faces (though gay people might do so among themselves).

Ah, political correctness—such such simplicity.

Uh, what? Is that a quote from some gig or something?

Which objects do people having lying about, anyway, that are “shaped like men’s bottoms” specifically?

It was actually a story read to me from a newspaper by a colleague when I lived in Beijing, it's a true story and I remembered it while reading the thread. I can't think of any household objects shaped like a mans bottom, which is why its such a weird story.

I made up the quiche bit.

Actually I've seen a straight person refer to their gay friends as "fags" and how they have to go to their "faggish" events. But it's said tongue in cheek and only because said friend told him to call it that.

Words have no power. It's the intent behind them that does. For intance how gay people will call their girl friends "fag hags" and not do it out of disrespect.

I like this, because in a way it disempowers to word as something bad.

I really wasn't trying to piss anybody off. Sorry, folks. In my opinion, and according to the Oxford dictionary, Dakar3's definition of stereotype is not completely accurate.

But in all defense, they do act like monkeys most of the time.

Oh so this is a semantics argument. Great.

WTF?

Maybe those butt-shaped fleshlights were being stolen. Moonmonkey: why do your neighbors have so many of those things?

I always thought the Kathy Griffin/Gay connection was because she looks like a drag queen.

And how would you know what a drag queen looks like?

ebuddy · Aug 19, 2007, 10:24 AM

Kathy dating people is a shtick folks. Nothing to see here. If they go on a second date, that might be more newsworthy.

That's true. She has also dated Lance Bass (IIRC), one of her niece's high school teachers and porn legend Ron Jeremy (who, coincidentally, was also once a school teacher). But she dated Jeremy only once...that we know of. Nudge, nudge,

By the way, ebuddy, you are now on abe's "All MNN List." Congrats!

I had to bring this back.. watch at this video of Woz saying he's never even met her.

I saw Kathy last night and she did a good hunk on Woz during her act, or as she called him, "Apple co-founder billionaire genius".

Despite these kind words, she gave the impression it was more about him being a funny date to bring to the Emmys, mainly because he didn't know who any of the celebrities were. She also said he was handy to have around in the wake of telling Jesus to "suck it", since she could point Woz at someone giving her flack and let slip that they believed in intelligent design.

Woz would corner them for 10 minutes talking about evolution.

Other notable anecdotes:

Woz had to buy a suit. After this apparently new experience he wouldn't stop talking about how cool the Men's Wearhouse was. Woz also wanted to take Kathy out to dinner at the Sizzler. To which Kathy's response was "yeah, you and every other bus boy I banged. If I'm going to date a billionaire genius, I want someone to bring food to the table."

Cipher13 · Oct 24, 2007, 08:48 AM

Oh man. I think if I had to spend more than 3.2* seconds listening to Kathy Griffin I'd ****ing shoot myself. Or, preferably, her.

*Less without ODing on Ketamine first.

Did you catch her E! True Hollywood Story?

At the end, they showed each of her friends asking the interviewer "can you have a THS and still be on the D-List?" They all asked it.
