It's A Good Thing We Don't Have To Atone Today Cause Going Without Carbs For Too Long Makes Us Do Even Worse Things...

We were a bit of a culture vulture this weekend. On Friday night we saw The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, and though it was cute, we think the best part was when the female lead's boyfriend came out during the curtain call and proposed to her. The audience erupted in applause and joy. Which got us thinking...even at one of the most liberal places conceivable, after the audience endured songs about such things as erections, would people have been as enthusiastic if the male lead's bf came out on stage and dropped to one knee? I would have, but not sure the all the tourists would have felt the same. Have any gay people proposed in such public spaces yet? Will the gays ever get to propose on the jumbotron at Yankee Stadium? Um...fine, at the U.S. Open? We'd even settle for the curtain call of a musical...

We digress.

We then went to see the pen-penultimate performance of History Boys, which may have been the greatest play we have ever seen on B-way. Not just because the history boys were the cutest things Britain has ever exported, but because it was smart, well written, well acted, and meaningful. Also, it didn't hurt that we were sitting next to another export from the UK, whom we asked to translate some of the jokes for us, and whom we tried to convince had an obligation to date us to make up for the 300 years of occupation of our motherland.

On the other side of us (yes we went ALONE) was a gay power couple from DC, who were, as you probably figured by now, lawyers. Now it is just getting ridiculous. The first person to meet an actual, real life, single gay lawyer wins two tickets to the History Boys movie. Just note that we'll be going to that alone as well, and sitting next to your actual, real life, single lawyer date, armed with talking points on jurisprudence.

On a side note, about this whole FoleyDirtyIMPageGate situation, we got a little angry (OK, a lot) when the religious right started saying, "See, we told you all the gays are pedophiles." HAVE THESE PEOPLE EVEN SEEN "TO CATCH A PREDATOR"???? If the awkwardness that ensues when the predator is confronted is not enough to get you hooked, then maybe NBC hottie Chris Hansen is. If even that is not enough, maybe these people should watch to remind themselves that their own kind has plenty of dirty, dirty people in the mix. Also, putting statements like these at the end of your press releases diminishes some of your credibility. Just some.
Americans For Truth is a non-profit, non-partisan group dedicated solely to confronting the homosexual activist movement.
Emphasis added. Stupidity original.

Hey... there are plenty of single gay lawyers out there... you just never hear much about us because we are always working, hehehe. Plus, NYC boys don't seem to think being a lawyer is that impressive, so it isn't something we usually advertize... Like the blog very much, BTW...

Too too many lawyers. It will be the downfall of America.
