I'm ashamed to say I usually just get annoyed by gay-talk, but when it's witty it's a different matter
Yes, teh gays, they all speak the same. And if they're not Oscar Wilde, or the hilariously camp best friend on TV, they need to pipe down.

I'm not that much of an arse! I just find it boring. Yup, you're gay, OK, I got that the first time. Then again, I guess when you're gay, it probably is a good idea to let everyone know, otherwise the default assumption of hetero can easily be misapplied.

Maybe, just maybe, people are not overthinking it, just being themselves.

Yes... well... that's very close to the bone for me.
Bwaha! The inevitable consequence of dissing someone in little old newzild....
Who is the current one? I think I read that Nigel Gould is the Chancellor.

Joanna, nice one. Fair crack, I did say I was embarrassed about it.

Two words that prove you can be bitchy and straight as a spirit level: Michael Cullen.
I rest my case, ladies and gentlemen of the jury.

In fact, totally fair enough. There's nothing wrong with people constantly advertising who and what they are, even if everyone around them already knows. For instance, in Ozzie, try as I might, it's hard to disguise my Kiwi accent and turns of phrase. And even trying to is a choice, which was is made appealing by the annoying habit of ozzies to constantly rib Kiwis. I guess a lot of gays get even more sick of that than I did, especially when it wasn't a reversible decision to be in a hetero dominated society.
Ah, this is why I love the blogosphere. Unlike in polite society, sometimes I actually get my mind changed.

maxim have just put out a press release headed "terrorism, australia, children". hmmm, anyone want to try making a sentence out of that?

Yeah, but Ben, it sounds like you're still assuming that everyone who's camp is gay and everyone who's not camp is straight. This may not necessarily be the case.
Or you could just watch John Barrowman and Simon Amstell have a gay-off on Never Mind the Buzzcocks and set some stereotypes in stone.

don't apologise too much ben, we all know joanna's a bee-atch (jeez, i am brave or just stoopid?)
re amy winehouse, tell me all about it, she's great. we saw her in concert at the hammersmith apollo. she rather overdid the big-ups to the band (who weren't that great) but she was awesome - when you've got a voice like that, you can afford to be as sassy and up yourself as you like, i think.
i admire her talent as a singer / songwriter to the extent that i am genuinely concerned about her obvious alcohol / other drug addiction and her very scary skinniness. her father seems to totally collude with her too, i've heard him publicly commenting more than once that she's fine and this is just what kids do in the rock'n'roll business.
well, eat my shorts daddy, that girl is going d-o-w-n if she doesn't sort her substance dependence out fairly quickly. IMHO.

It definitely is not the case. I know the difference. What I'm actually saying is that I don't mind gay, but I find camp about as funny as constant sarcasm - a very low form of wit. Witty camp, sure, but just camp? Ho hum.
Now, what I'm following up with now is OK, they're allowed to be ho hum. Fuck it, I'm pretty ho hum myself. If I came across as somehow saying it shouldn't be allowed, that's arrogant and rude, sorry about that, retracted. But I stand by thinking it's clown shoes most of the time.

Eventually Simon Pound and Abbie Rutledge grabbed me to dash over to Code, where Scribe was playing the after-after-party to a packed house, including an increasingly unhinged McColloch and Thompson. Additional blagging (in the door, up to the VIP bar on the mezzanine, a bright pink token for a free drink) ensued, and I stayed for some of an energetic set before jumping in a taxi to arrive home shortly before 2am.
My god, as I finish up scything the hay and preparing the feed for the pigs and cleaning out my old briar pipe down here in the chilly South Island, I wonder about the lives of you sophisticated Auckland glitterati (a man in a white suit you say?).
I bet you snorted cocaine off a supermodels belly, made some home made pR0n and got dropped off home in P-Diddy's Maserati as well!
-

Well... Paul Holmes in a white suit.

Thank you for being gracious and explaining yourself. Emma made the point that I was trying to make better than I did with her:
Yeah, but Ben, it sounds like you're still assuming that everyone who's camp is gay and everyone who's not camp is straight. This may not necessarily be the case.
and you addressed that with:
, but I find camp about as funny as constant sarcasm - a very low form of wit.
As an overly sarcastic person myself, I would like to believe that sarcasm is constantly hilaaaaaarious. Of course everyone has a different sense of humour. Thank god, because otherwise Two and a Half Men would still be on TV....

Group hug? Gays included. No camps.
-
OK, camps allowed but I have to have a chick on either side.

Gracious is hot
</paris hilton tone of voice>Oh and reading literature rather than news is making me a lot less grumpy. Waiting to see what is going to come out about these "terror raids" is making me crotchety.

So are you a hat, a string bikini or a plant hanger?
-
Kowhai, yeah, I'm over it too. Starting to realize that the more you talk with no info, the more of an arse you sound. Shoulda realized it long ago, but I'm not a professional politician.
-
I don't mind camp, but I'll be dadgarned, if those canadians don't irritate the hell outta me.
</facetious>
-
The mental image of myself in a crotchety bikini is actually quite awesome. Call me morbid call me pale etc

Well, we did have a drink beforehand at a bar where I could have had my choice of Krug ($480) or Cristal ($530), and I assured those present that had I been P Diddy I'd surely have done so.

Camp itself isn't a form of wit. It's what you do with your camp, honey ...

oooooh!
