When the Sergeant of Soul thought I might be closing the Palace of Pure Pomposity, he insisted I stick around. He said, “Gay, if you never call or email me again, that would be fine, in fact that would be better than fine…but your blog is the last thread of integrity in my fandom. Please stay.”
I said, “Sure, dude. But I’ll need a little dinero to cover my bulky bandwidth.” I thought I heard him laugh, but it was probably a cough. (You know how often this guy gets sick.)
He was so excited to hear I’d keep the site open that he made a little audio gift for everyone. Click here to hear the audioblog! If the file does not work (things are always failing on me), click here for another download link. You don’t want to miss this, folks!
Oh Gay!!! Our Merry Minister of Machismo loves you so!
My heart is soaring above the deep blue sea of love for you. I promise you that I will never utter one word, think one thought, or feel one feeling, that would make you regret your devotion to the lowly creatures who gather in your name here.
Oh, and I smile whenever I hear that voice. That sweet southern drawl, and softly fluid phrasing gets me every time!
Dearest Gay… Gee, our Omnipotent Onion doesn’t mince words, does he? Well – perhaps he was feeling just a little too much of your love for him (especially when you hugged his leg in NYC — now THAT was some BIG LOVIN’ goin’ on!) – but bygones are bygones, right? And besides, we’re not really here for him – our purpose is to be here to celebrate all that is GAY!
May you rule till the cows come home (or till the bandwidth runneth out – whichever occurs first).
Ooh, I love hearing the sexy voice that the Bringer of the Bulge has! Thanks for sharing that, Gay!
I must confess that I entered into our delightfully disdainful domicile tonight, with head hung low, tears coursing down my face, prepared to write my eulogy for my tenure here, in this most culturally significant blog ever known to man.
As I fearfully, and with great trepidation, stepped inside these halls of knowledge, my sorrow and woe were immediately replaced with joy like I have never known. My worst fears have been dashed to the ground like the ill-mannered school children who taunted my choice of literary recreation during recess … and who lived to rue the day, I might add!
My most beloved, and esteemed Gay, who has enriched my mind, and lightened my heart, is not leaving me! Could it get any better than that?
Why yes, it could, my friends! My Awesomely Artful Aardvark left me a message telling me that all is well in Gay land. By now, my trusted companions, I am in fear again, this time of a compound fracture caused by my joyful and uninhibited dance. The pinnacle of happiness has been attained. But no . . .
I look briefly heavenward to give thanks, and my gaze falls upon an image so lovely and so stark, that I know all is better than well. It is sublime, my much loved, and yet slightly scorned, friends.
I see an image that depicts the soul of the man and the loneliness of life on the road, in a bleak and joyless black and white vision of sadness. This is the man I long to know better! Not that false image of a happy go lucky man, dancing and singing his way to eternal bliss. I want the truth, and Gay is not afraid to give it to me!
I am so happy I could expel saliva forcefully from my mouth through pursed lips!
Great audioblog! I love the header picture, but we all know that using a sepia color on a photo automatically turns it into a piece of art, so may I recommend a sepia photo next time?
Either way, this blog yet again proves to be the epitome of class. I raise my glass of Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac to you, Gay!
SBN, my mentally masterful, yet mindlessly meandering mass of maudlin mutterings! Did you like my really long string of adjectives? I’m trying to be like you!!!
Sorry, I don’t really have a point here. I just wanted to say that I think the new header picture is deliciously black and white like an Oreo cookie that I would love to dip in milk and nibble on!!!
#5 CreatureOfPomposity,
“epitome of class” indeed. This is the place in which only the fine, upstanding fans reside. Although, to be honest, I don’t really like to call those of us here “fans.” I prefer, “Connoisseurs of Wonderful Modern Soul Music Creators.”
Wow, it sure is getting deep in here, Sal! The only thing I am interested in here that is “fine and upstanding” happens to reside in our Sexy Soulman’s pants!!!
Hey!!!! I’m all for art- but where’d the crotch go?
Er…..huh!? Who said that? What I meant was… i like the new header.
So, we’ve become the blog for the disriminating fan, huh? Dude, I like all people, no matter what the flavor! Well, except for pistachio, because pistachio people are just a little too nutty for me!
I gotta give a humongous THANKS to our Yeoman of Yowza for taking time out of his busy day to send us a message!! Dude, the voice sounds in tip-top shape, and I’m telling you, as long as the Gay will stay, I’ll never go away!!
Rock on, my man!
I have to say, hearing that soulful voice telling us that all will be well, and that Gay is here to stay, just made my day!
I may be mainly a lurker who is afraid to post, but I had to come out of hiding to give kudos to Gay for scoring another face to face, one on one meeting with our Giddily Gungho Gander of Groove! I can tell, just from reading, how much he really loves and appreciates you, Gay!
Oh, and if you need a little dinero to help out with the bandwidth expenses, just let us know! I am planning on selling my blood in the next couple days, and will gladly give all my blood money to you!!!
Selling your blood? Phsaw! Child’s play. True grovelers at the feet of the Gay One aren’t afraid to part with a kidney, or perhaps part of their small intestine. THAT’S the kind of loyalty Gay demands, and that’s the kind of loyalty he shall get!
