This was a great episode. "We're Different" is stiff competition for the Doctor Song.

two men enter. same two men leave. after playing two different songs.
(or one different song, one doctor song.)

thanks again everyone. you're the best at being the best.

There are definitely effeminate straight men out there, and they tend to get more shit than gay men because to a lot of people's logic, at least gay men "have a reason" for talking like a girl.

When I was younger, I affected a deeper voice than I actually have. It seems like the older I get the more I accept that I sound like this and the less inclined I am to make the effort to have the voice I wish I had.

I like when you guys have Larry the Cucumber on your show

I've always thought it was pretty cool of Myq to jump on the forums to respond to the people responding to the show he was on, but now that he keeps pretending to be a robot, I've begun to wonder if he doesn't have built in WiFi, and it's all kind of effortless for him.

But my real question is, Myq, has Keith ever 'accidentally' sprayed you with Windex, while supposedly cleaning something?

What's more disturbing about the 'gay lisp' thing, is that in parts of the deeper South and Deepest, Darkest Upstate NY, ALL men talk like that. Seriously. I've pulled into some one stop sign towns (Ha! traffic lights) to get gas, go in to pay and get some coffee, and the locals, while the most skeezy, malnourished, oil stained wretches, stood around and chatted like they were on Christopher St. The only real difference, I think, is the fashion 'sense'.

Most gay men I know speak rather conventionally. Roll their eyes at the 'first year lispers'. (The lesbian first year side manages to tell everyone they are lesbians in each paragraph: eg "I was going to the store to pick up milk and I noticed they had Necco Waffers, so I bought them for my girlfriend, not just girl who is a friend, we're lesbians, because I know she likes them.")

But they're not the only group that does this. There were quite a few Caribbean students I went to school with who would speak one way with their friends and another in class (and no, they weren't speaking Creole, just the accent). And there are African Americans who switch between vernacular and blacknacular depending on whether they are in the office or the neighborhood (or wearing hoodies and scaring Keith).

In the end, I think it's a mix. There are a lot of people who can switch it on and off, and there are a lot of people who are just 'always on'.

Keith's girlfriend's brogue comes from learning English around people who learned English as a second language hundreds of years ago.

Ah, hell, this is a linguistics discussion, as it was on the show. Why Myq didn't pull the degree card, who knows?

oh petek, you always manage to crack me up even in the darkest times

in reverse order, answers to your questions/statements:

1) i do have the degree, but no specific knowledge of any research on the gay accent, per se. if that doesn't matter, than i gladly pull rank and determine that my speculation is correct.

2) i've never seen keith clean anything.

3) thanks! i am a very complicated machine, much like the human brain, such that i even seem to have emotions. i'm not just going through the e-motions.

Extrapolating Keith.

If you extrapolated keith onto a globe, he would be unable to find his own asshole.

Listen I love Keith, but why keep up this this ignorant douche persona with the whole globe thing?

Because you are born in a certain part of a planet you are a savage?

Really?
