i posted the one about the crazy greenliner as a comment a few weeks ago, but i never emailed it in. i'm surprised it made in. it definitely was not funny. and i hate when people say this, but it really was a situation where you had to be there. the weirdness of the woman and situation cannot really be expressed in words. the only funny part about it was left out of the post.

Wow! I love how the comments are funnier than the Overheards this week.

Funny, I heard once you go Black, you never go back. Maybe that only works for the straights?

I had a friend that was quite the rice queen (gay man that dates only Asians). He assured me that once you date Asian you're a changed man.

Just because they were 'flamboyant' doesn't mean they were gaysians.

I'd use the term "flambasian" except that it sounds like you're making crepes suzette with rice wine and a lit match.

that's kinda what I got from it as well, qbert. i was gonna try to describe a "flamboyant asian", but I think I'll leave that to someone else.

Who says they were gay? It's written as though they were flamboyantly Asian.

HCE: That may be so, but how is it at all relevant to the situation? It's not. So why mention it? If the men weren't flamboyant but rather, let's say, reserved, would the person observing them have bothered to note that? I think not. badtzmaru: Sure, but the label is clearly overapplied to gay men.

You can be flamboyant and straight.

sordid, it looks like somebody posted it as a comment a few weeks ago and also emailed it in. Doh.

"So not only is the comment itself racist, but the person who submitted it is heterosexist. Awesome!" Heterosexist? What the fuck. Either you're flamboyant, or you aren't. It's like referring to somebody as tall.

Didn't that one about the crazy repetitive green liner appear on this colum a few weeks ago?

So "fucking your little sister" is the new "going out for sushi?" That adds a whole layer of ugly to "sloppy seconds," particularly since I ended up giving her my "fatty tuna roll" and a "wasabi necklace." I'm sorry, but she came on to me!

RE: Last one... Listen to Dubya say "Terrorist" and you'll swear he just said "Tourist." I guess it's affecting newscasters now too.

i heard three lads talking outside of a bar last night. lad #1: dude, i finally got rid of that ear infection. lad #2: dude no way! what'd you do? lad #1: i fucking bought this shit from CVS that cost like six bucks. you just put a couple of drops in your ear, but i was like reading the label on the back and it said that it could exacerbate the symptoms but i was like fuck it and now it's totally better. lad #3: what's 'exacerbate'?
