Everyone likes something that they're not supposed to like. That thing that you really don't want to bring up to your buddies because you know they will give you a rough time about it. This thread is a way of getting all that excess baggage out of your system in an anonymous way. Break out of your mundane restraints and share some personal information with the Planet that some would find embarassing. I'll start.

For instance, the other day I happened to mention to It's_Good that my wife wanted to watch a movie not long ago and I not only watched it with her but really enjoyed it. The movie?

Moulin Rouge

He was horrified.

My world has no meaning. The Moulin Rouge and Wayne Newton? You two are going straight to hell. We already have to send out for trolls to stir up controversy. Now you are telling me we need to import rebellion as well?

Wait a cotton pickin' minute Hawg! You can't be gay!!!!!!!!

I must admit though, I like watching Trading Spaces and Rooms to Grow....I'm sure you've seen them. My wife has done this to me. It's her fault. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Also, since the 70's (gulp), I've always thought the Bee Gees kick ass!

First of all, Moulin Rouge is one of my favorites. But Nicole Kidman :thumb: has alot to do with it.

I love musicals, especially Les Miserable and Miss Saigon. But my biggest confession is.....one of my favorite TV series is Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Watch it religously, including reruns. MY family has even started buying me the series DVDs as gifts.

Wow, I feel better now that I've gotten that off my chest. Now I can go trolling the net for more girlie pics.

Pook -
I was sitting directly across the aisle from Hawg and IG_IG on Sunday, as our bus swerved wildly down that icey hillside in Maine (miraculously, without striking a single washing machine).
It brought to mind one of my favorite scenes from one of my favorite movies of recent years: Almost Famous. I love the scene where the plane carrying the band is going down. As it becomes clear that they're about to die, the band members start confessing some of their deepest secrets, culminating with the drummer blurting out "I'm gay!" When the plane recovers, the expression on his face is priceless.
Anyway, as our little bandwagon plunges over the cliff, I guess it's my turn to come clean. After all this time, I can now reveal that I am....Johnny Reb.

None of these bowl appearances took place in the early to mid 80's.

You silly...... Just because we didn't win any Superbowls during my 6 years at North High doesn't mean anything. We were a kinder, gentler Rocketeer team that preferred Staying Alive rather than Van Halen's Running with the Devil in the locker room.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer, you too? Like, oh my god, that is soooooooo weird! Can't say I'm addicted but I can understand the source of the addiction. Sarah Michelle Gellar. Yummy.

Okay -- my turn. This hurts. Cirque de Soleil ROCKS!!! Never thought I would be a fan of anything involving men in tights but it is an amazing show and those people are athletes.

and....

Ever since I was a little kid I have been a huge fan of the Sound of Music. The great part about it was that as I grew older there was always a new romantic interest. First it was Brigita, then Liesl, then Maria, and now finally...it is the Reverend Mother. :D

Nothin' to feel guilty about there, NR....CdS puts on an amazing show. I saw them for the first time last summer in Boston (Quidam). They've got something like 8 different shows going on around the world. I would not hesitate to see one of their shows again anytime I had a chance.

Like Bideau, I also like musicals (I might as well say I like showtunes....). In fact, I really liked Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat starring Donny Osmond. That's right tough guys, Donny Freakin' Osmond. You got a problem with that?;)

So, Hawg--
Is this where I am supposed to feel "guilty" for liking to kiss the fish before I release 'em?! LOL!! :)
Sorry, but I don't feel the tiniest amount of guilt from having this fetish... :)
Now, maybe I SHOULD feel guilty about spending an inordinate amount of discretionary income on my shoe fetish...
Sorry--that is the most shocking thing that I could come up with!... Guess I am just not wild-n-crazy anymore...
Now I can get back to my favorite past time of watching the paint dry... :)
p.s.--The whole "show tunes" thread reminded me of a funny story where the punch line is: "What KIND of gay guy ARE you, anyway?!" Know it?... :) (Ooh and btw, that was not intended to be some sort of "if the shoes fits..." kind of comment!) See?! I can't avoid the shoes!! :)

Since Season One, neither Mrs. ItsGood or I have missed an episode of "Buffy," even if we have had to resort to setting the VCR before going on vacation. Clever writing, hot chicks who kick ass, comedy, allegories flying everywhere. For once, the critics (who unanimously praise the show) are right.

Hawg is well aware of what I am now about to confess...on a midnight surf casting beer fest on Cape Cod, I cleansed my soul by admitting that I sat in the driveway for five full minutes because I didn't want to turn off "Copacabana" by the underappreciated genius, Barry Manilow.

I hope YOU all can understand what I recently told Mrs. ItsGood, who is the greatest expert on figure skating this side of Dick Button...Rudy Galindo has brought more good times and laughter into my life than Adam Vinateri. Witness below his crowd fave "Village People" medley.

Someday, I hope this makes me feel better than it does right now.

It's_Good,

I should have given you props for the general concept of this thread. I have to watch my attributions.

Galindo? Maybe you want to clarify that statement a bit. We don't take to such blasphemy lightly.

Remember that scene in, I think it was Blazing Saddles when everytime somebody mentioned Randolph Scott, all the cowboys would take their ten-gallon hats off and place them over their hearts and say wistfully "Randolph Scott!" . We should do something like that everytime somebody mentions Adam.

Hey, Hawg--

Besides, I know how much it means to show-tune-lovin' He-men, such as yourself! Hee-hee! j/k! (NOT!) :)
p.s.--maybe my memory is failing me, but I was associating the funny story with "Best Little Whorehouse in Texas." Am I wrong?!... What say ye?... :)
by-the-by, I have just been catching up on reading the posts here and I'm glad that you and IGIG & DKM are all okay after that bus accident... How was the skiing, though? All this snow must be good for something besides shovelling! :)

I wasn't directing it at you Peg. Yeah, it was kind of IG's idea, but I started the thread first.

As far as the skiing goes, your guess is as good as mine. We never got within 15 miles of the mountain. They closed the roads.

And no, your memory is as frighteningly accurate as ever. The episode where I snapped at an overly chatty gay guy to pipe down in the middle of "Whorehouse" - he apologized profusely and said that he was sorry but it was his first musical and he was all excited.

The line that I didn't quite have the balls to say and will regret to my dying day would have been:

"FIRST MUSICAL? What kind of gay guy ARE you?

02-05-2003, 09:11 PM

Gotcha... Except you missed my point about the "idea" for this whole thread... Remember when I suggested (in some long lost thread), that we should start an off-season thread on what people's other interests/hobbies/fetishes are?! My bad for not getting around to starting it... I haven't had much time for posting lately, though... (It's been membership recruitment time at Dartmouth and since Jan. 1st I am president of a board of directors and my social life has been positively percolating, so I guess that I have been too busy "getting busy" to post much... Hee-hee!) :)
But, I must say--at least you modified the idea enough to pass it off as your own... LOL! :)
And yeah--That was the funny story that I was referencing... Good thing that I only use my powers for good, huh?! :)
Sorry about the non-skiing ski trip, man... That sucks... Do they actually close down the roads to a ski area when there is a snow storm?! That seems kind of IRONIC! Perhaps it is time for another infamous Irony thread... What say ye?!... :)

Hey Peg,

We are running a little low on resources with all the smilies that you are using. I've got some more on back order. We all need to do our part to conserve.

I knew they would prove irresistible. If you click on the words "get more" -- you are immediately transported to nirvana and are given many virgins. Rock on my fellow smilie :) loving Pats fan. (ROMFSLPF.)

Peg -

They TOLD us that the road was closed, thereby forcing us to hang out with nothing to do (except drink) for the entire day. I have my doubts that the road was actually closed. There seemed to be plenty of traffic going both ways. Come to find out our driver got cited for not having a valid license. We waited (and drank and drank and drank) while they sent another driver up from Boston to drag our sorry drunken asses back to Mass.
Funny thing is, the spot where the bus crashed was directly across the road from a snow tubing park. That's where we ended up haning out for the day. Their snack bar was open, but they kept the tubes locked up and the rope tow shut down. IG_IG made the point "if this place isn't open on a snowy Sunday afternoon, exactly when WOULD it be open?"
All in all, it was a memorable day....at least the parts that I could remember.

Like I have ever needed an excuse to point out irony. :p That is the icon with the tongue out by the way. I am not sold on it. Too feminine -- it looks more like an icon wearing makeup. Not good for my image.

The point of this thread was not to rediscover the fetishes that you already have but to discover some that you didn't know you needed yet. As a result of this thread, I am now hooked on wrestling and Wayne Newton, specifically Wayne Newton Wrestling.

As for the aborted ski trip...we were "stranded" at a place with port o'johns, no public hasslin' us, a liquor store a half mile away and a place to eat. Cigar and beer fueled discussion about the Patriots, Iraq, the role and nature of government and the filthiest jokes anyone could recall. Actually a good day of skiing would hardly be as much fun. After a while, you got the unmistakable feeling that we DIED in the bus plunge, and this was some sort of afterlife. Or a predeath halucination like "The Bridge at San Luis Rey."

As for Hawg's encounter with the not-gay-enough guy at the musical, Homer said it best (as he does with most things):

"I'm a simple man, Marge. I like my beer cold, my TV loud and my homosexuals FA-LLLLAAAAAMING!"

:Homer:

02-07-2003, 02:39 PM

IGIG--Well, now that you put it that way, I can see that you guys probably had more fun than you would have had skiing... :)
So, what enlightened Patriots talk did you guys share? Care to share it with us here, or is it all too foggy to recall?! :)
What about the raunchy jokes? We should have a thread here dedicated to such things...
I must say that you kind of creeped me out with the whole afterlife vein... The loss of you three guys would be more than this Patriots Nation could bear... Although, if that is what is in-store for us in Heaven, then bring it on, I guess!...
And yeah--ol' Homer does usually say it best... Ya got that right! :)
