wherin I'm told my sexuality

[Sparky]

Takes one to know one.

[morgana]

"Yeah, your mom turned me gay."
which can be followed by "Looks like she turned you too," if you want.

You're evil. I like you.

[Moggie]

I've often been accused of being a football heratic. Any day now I expect them to break down my door and burn me at the uprights.

It's just not all that interesting, really.

I had a gay male friend who was a fellow wrestling fan who countered this one perfectly once.

"Actually, I like pro wrestling! All those men in their leather speedos rolling around grinding their crotches together, all oiled up...hmm...wait, what were we talking about? Oh who's your favorite?"

Me standing behind him and trying not to shoot blood out of my nose from laughing so hard didn't help...

I'm a girl, and I like action movies. I watched The Road Warrior this weekend. Yesterday, someone said, "But that's a guy movie!!" Um, excuse me, how is a dirty, unshaved, buff Mel Gibson in an all leather ensemble a guy movie?

And American football? A bunch of guys on steriods in tights chasing after a ball and grabbing each other's asses? Yep. That's manly. Even macho.

You're a macho, macho man, Smiley.

[RecoveringKinkoid]

Wow.

A guy who bases his own sexuality on a sport where big, sweaty guys pat each other's asses.

He must be so far into the closet it's not even funny. Sad.

You can always tell really stupid, homophobic people. They think calling someone gay is the best put down EVER.

It would have been funny to go, "Actually, my boyfriend is SERIOUSLY into the football. He likes the tight pants."

[Nyx]

So I suppose watching football is a "typical" guy thing and not doing so make you "gay", but what about asking directions? Aren't guys not supposed to do that? So I guess he's gay too, maybe he was looking for a boyfriend?

As for sports, I usually enjoy watching games, but its not a huge deal. They're far more entertaining than the usual drivel on TV. However, I simply don't really care which team is playing. I don't keep track of teams or players even though I might enjoy watching the game.

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

As somebody who's big into football this time of year (It's my escape from reality ), I'd just like to say: What an asshelmet that guy was.

[Imogene]

Sounds like the guy who insinuated I was gay because I wouldn't walk over and open the 'exit' door so he could walk in, as mandated by corporate. That's posted elsewhere on the site, though... and it's fairly long.

And I appreciate that sentiment because I get cranky when I don't get my hockey fix. So what does that make US?

that would make you Canadian

oh I so need to use that line in the future

You're a macho, macho man, Smiley.

agh, now I have the Village People in my head

especially sense it's quite literally a straight line drive... seriously, get off the freeway, go 2 blocks north, turn left and keep going straight until you see the farking hotel... yet every night I get people coming in asking for directions

oh yeah, and if we're going by stereotypes, he must really be a woman for asking for directions.

Sounds like the guy who insinuated I was gay because I wouldn't walk over and open the 'exit' door so he could walk in,.

ok, I have to say it... but wouldn't letting someone go into what is normally exit only be gay...
*ducks* don't hurt me, you have to admit there is some good logic to that retort.

You're welcome!

It actually made me think of an episode of NCIS where Tony has to dress up like a lineman to put up some microphones ("One Shot, One Kill", Season 1. Mark Harmon in uniform. Yummy!)

I digress.

Which reminded me of ANOTHER episode where Abby starts talking about fetishes with Gibbs which he kind of balks at.

I'm paraphrasing:

Abby: "It's no stranger than some guy out in 10 degree weather in shorts with one half of his body painted yellow and the other painted green, with a cheese on his head yelling, 'Go Packers!'"
Gibbs: "Abs, that's apples and oranges!"
Abby: "There's a fetish for that, too. "

I love NCIS.....

I remember one New Year's, my boyfriend at the time came down to visit. Now, he lived two hours away so I didn't get to see him much and was a little preturbed that he was paying more attention to the football game on TV than he was to me. The announcer said something about the tight ends, and I said, "Yeah, those are some NICE tight ends..." I wasn't allowed to watch football after that. Gee darn.

Although going to a game can be fun unless the team you're rooting for freaking blows a 17 point lead and loses in double overtime. *dang you, Purdue!*

[TonyDonuts]

I stole a line from George Carlin for dealing with mopes like that.

"You catch the game?"

"No." Which is where ninety-nine percent of these conversations end.

And the rest? A very belligerent "Well why not?"

"Football* bores the piss outta me." Which it does, I have a hard time sitting through the six hours it takes to play the last two minutes of the average football game. Plus, nothing explodes. Explosions make me happy.

"What are you? Some kinda FAG or sumpin?"

Carlin to the rescue, "Well, bend over and let's find out!"

Brings the conversation to a halt.

Plus, it's fun!

I had to laugh out loud - wonder if it would surprise this dude to find that as a FEMININE gay woman - I LOVE FOOTBALL. I have taught more than my share of men the RULES of the game, but also totally respect somebody who doesn't care for it - like two of my three sons - oh and those are the two that are confirmed straight. Go figure
