Aren't You Glad This Is NOT Another Music Poll? Ask Me Anything...
... if I know the answer, I'll let you know. (But please don't ask me things that you can Google for yourself. We charge extra for that.)

5. The first time... NO.
But later on, when I was more relaxed (and had discovered poppers)... yes.

He's intellectual.
He's homosexual.
Please don't think.
That he's perverse.
He's the patients' favorite male nurse.
He's okay.
He's just FAY!
'Cause he's openly gay.
He's a truly queer Queer Duck.
QUEER DUCK!

If I went any further, we'd need to add an AdultCheck or ManCheck to this thread.

2. 1st question...
Why don't you like the music polls? (I like them a lot)

If you don't like them, you don't have to read them.

13. The Whole "Thin Man" Series With Actor William Powell
She also did a couple with Cary Grant. "Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House" and "Bachelor and Bobby Soxer".

So many folks have forgotten her... but she's just delightful and fun to watch.

32. It's A Particular Favorite Of Mine Right Now...
... because we just moved into our new home and although we're not building/rebuilding it from scratch, there's a lot of remodeling and painting and wallpapering and carpeting and miscellaneous repairs and improvements that continually keep us busy.

We try to take it all in stride like the Blandings did.

27. No Go Rent Something Of Hers... You'll Be Glad You Did
I just adore her! She aged wonderfully... never tried to look younger than she was. She accepted growing older gracefully, and the parts she took in her later movies showed it as well.

30. With bones like those she couldn't help but age well, but to age
gracefully means she was probably a very nice person, too. :)

10. Coincidence? I Think NOT.... There's A Subliminal Connection...
... it's a vast left-wing conspiracy. The rainbow colors are hypnotic. Anyone who stares at the rainbow flag for too long can be easily converted.

(And I'm only 5 more converts away from winning that toaster oven.)

14. How many converts does one need for a refrigerator? Ours is held
together by duct tape. If it's not too much work, I'll convert and get you within 4. I'm sure MrGrumpy won't mind. :-)

17. That's The Funniest Thing I've Heard All Day... THANKS!!!
There's a written test (multiple choice) so you might have a hard time fooling the judges. Mostly questions about fashion, decorating, hairstyles, flowers, old movies, Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand, Patsy Cline.

15. I've Got All The Thin Man Movies On VHS...
... and I'm hoping that the entire series will be eventually released on DVD.

I'm still searching for a William Powell autograph to frame and display next to my Myrna Loy autograph. His are very rare and difficult to find.

24. Wait A Minute... Let Me Think About This...
... exactly HOW is this thread rude?

I think there may have been a misunderstanding here... or someone may be looking for insults that don't exist.

Until I know more, I'm afraid that I might have to withdraw my apology or offer it "conditionally" if indeed I've done someone an injustice.

I've never been one to intentionally hurt someone's feelings. But at the same time, I cannot be responsible for the timid and hypersensitive professional victims who imagine insults around every corner.

Hellsbells, Mary... I'd be apologizing all day long if that were the case.

28. Well then,
maybe it's time for someone to start some "Aren't you glad this is NOT another "Oh my Gay Stars" thread, and see how that goes over.

Sorry you decided to backtrack on seeing the insensitivity in your title. Perhaps you didn't intentionally set out to hurt anyone's feelings, but it could certainly be seen that way.

31. Think What You Want... I'm Sorry You Feel That Way.
If you want to start a thread specifically about me, then go ahead. It will roll off my back like water off a duck.

If you honestly have a problem with this thread, then perhaps you should click alert and let the moderators handle it.

29. That's "Queer Duck" The Main Character From Showtime's Cartoon
series called (oddly enough) "Queer Duck" (go figure).

The Queer Duck cartoon was originally an online "flash" cartoon that found its way to being shown after every episode of Showtime's "Queer As Folk" series.

More information and previous episodes of Queer Duck can be seen at http://sho.com/queerduck/

40. Oh Grow Up! You've Been Around Long Enough To Know...
... that one of the Lounge's ONGOING and continuously repeating gags is when someone posts a thread with a copycat subject line, or a reverse worded copycat subject line, or opposite meaning copycat subject line.

You've also been around long enough to know that the "ask me anything" threads appear just about as quickly as one dies and falls onto page 2.

1) You're not the only person posting favorite tune threads.
2) I myself have posted favorite tune threads.
3) Nobody mentioned you.

Whatever! If that's TRULY how you feel... and if that's how you want to act about it, then there's nothing I can do to stop you.

If you think this thread warrants an alert, then have at it Tiger, let the moderators decide.

I refuse to apologize for imagined insults.

45. Sigh
Since this thread appears to have been intended as a gentle swipe but has obviously caused some offense, I'm going to lock it. If I leave it here it's only going to cause more bad blood.

I'm also locking the follow-ups here and here. But I'd like to add that in my opinion this has been blown out of proportion. Plus the level of immaturity in the Lounge is really starting to make my head hurt.
