Big Gay Linkage...

Posted March 3, 2003 8:45 PM.

Ok. Next year I want to be a Best Gay Chap nominee again. Do you understand me? I'm not satisfied with just being known for my design skills. I want to be the world's best homo. I know I don't talk about it very much, but that's just because being gay is really boring, not because I'm not any good at it. I'm really good at it. I'm the Leonardo Da Vinci of Big Gay Shit. Am I convincing anyone? I should stick to talking about weblogs really. At least then I know what I'm talking about...

  • Jonno's Cute Dead Guy of the Week
    My personal favourite has to be Louis Lingg, who was not only an anarchist and really hot, but also blew himself up in jail by putting a bomb in his mouth. You don't get much cooler than that.
  • Christina Aguilera's Beautiful video [real: lo | med | hi]
    You know when pop-stars can be as sensitive as this, it's almost worth having them exploit our pain to sell records! I hope she gets another really big house. I really do.
  • Diesel Sweeties' tasteful take on gay lovin'
    "I am an eccentric millionaire. Indie-Rock Pete, I will pay you for eccentric gay sex experimentation."
  • Soccer Practice by Gay Pimp
    This utterly terrible song about hot soccer jocks is mostly entertaining for its dodgy gay subversion of 'ho'-centred rap/pop videos. Also partially entertaining for taking the piss out of sporty straight-boys. Warning: Quite rude, ungodly and just plain wrong.

i will nominate you for best gay chap if you only wear purple, and share your collection of george michael cds.

Horror of horrors! I have no purple clothing of any kind, and the one George Michael tape I once owned I gave to my friend's sister when I was seventeen because it was quite bad. Sigh.

Yeah, but Tom - you've already been Best Gayer once. No point in re-visiting old ground, is there? After all, plasticbag.org is so much more than that.

I suggest instead that you try and collect the set. Buy a webcam! Move to Canada! Start a new "secret" weblog! Sell merchandise! Write more humourous stuff! Write more political stuff!

Actually, I vote for: write more political stuff. I like it when you do the political stuff.

You mean I have more George Michael than you do? Ye gods. Maybe I'll get nominated for best straight-acting not-quite-there-yet blogger? That's what people I used to work with thought, anyway.

Must've been the George.

Luke! No! Tell me it isn't true! You've been corrupted by the firm thighs and novelty facial hair of George Michael!? That's terrible! (turns on Liberty X) Well at least I know I'm cool...
