As Bill Murray once said…

…no but I'm willing to try!

Fortunately I am equally repulsive to both genders.

As I have frequently quoted, the motto of the Franco-American Society of Biddeford, Maine is carved above the entrance to their building:

"Et pourquois pas?"

I agree with Bongo, definitely need more boobies.

What was the question again?

Pedrobear07 Jun 2010 5:51 a.m. PST

I'm just a pedrophile…

You like having sex with Hispanics?

Disgusting

6) Needs more boobies
2) I'm always amazed by the thought police who jump on these threads to scream that we shouldn't be talking about whatever we're talking about. If you don't like the topic, don't read the thread. I mean really, how hard is that?

"is pushing little men around a wholly heterosexual activity"


Sounds kinda bi-curious to me! ;-)

"had smaller widgers than me"

Or at least tucked.

nycjadie07 Jun 2010 7:10 a.m. PST

"Sometimes I used to think that I was a lesbian trapped in a mans body"

No you don't. The average lesbian has sex once a month.

And, some here have already expressed views and opinions based on an alleged "morality" Shouldn't these views be directed towards the "Blue Fez"? Or was the purpose of this topic to gather up Dawghouse inmates? wink

Personal logo Editor in Chief Bill The Editor of TMP Fezian07 Jun 2010 8:01 a.m. PST

I have known and befriended gays and lesbians, some of whom are / were roleplayers – but I don't think I know any who are wargamers…

Nor do I. However, there are several transgender TMP'ers that I know of (MTF).

Maybe the editor in is infinite wisdom should consider whether gender politics shouldn't come under his blanket ban on political discussion.

How strange that a "brand new" member has such strong opinions…

Marquis07 Jun 2010 8:14 a.m. PST

Well, I've been a member for donkey's years, and I think he might have a point, old boy!

This does look as if you are simply rattling the cage, Ed. Appears to be working, too, as I am prompted to log in and post for the first time in an age, if only to ask Precopius why he feels the need to a) deny any niggling doubts, b) condemn the immorality of others and c)reaffirm his masculinity…as if the huge bouncing breast were insufficient to assure us all of his "straight as an arrow" orientation….. In the immortal words of Hamlet, "Madam, how like you this play?"

BravoX07 Jun 2010 8:30 a.m. PST

Your are logged in old boy, in case you hadn't noticed.

archstanton7307 Jun 2010 8:52 a.m. PST

Yes I am a lesbian in a mans body!!! ;P

Procopius07 Jun 2010 9:08 a.m. PST

I'd answer the Marquis, but I don't know if he's talking about me or not. Precopius?? Couldn't be me, the 'e' and the 'o' are at opposite ends of the keyboard, so that couldn't be a typo, could it?

Ah stuff it, I'll answer anyway.

a) No doubts whatsoever, niggling or otherwise

b) YOU state that it IS in fact IMmorality, so therefore it needs to be condemned. But do I condemn? No, but I know that immorality is wrong

c) At 52 I'm over the whole macho thing, with no need to "reaffirm my masculinity.

My avatar is because like most Deleted by Moderator men, I love boobs. Something the Deleted by Moderator misses out on.

Steve107 Jun 2010 9:14 a.m. PST

So from that it appears that Deleted by Moderator? Or am I not Reading what you say properley?

A Badger07 Jun 2010 9:18 a.m. PST

Lettuce, Gherkin, Bacon & Tomato?

The only LGBT discussion that is in any way relevant to this site is Lets Go Buy Toy soldiers

Procopius07 Jun 2010 9:24 a.m. PST

Of course Deleted by Moderator. You think we, the human race, could have gotten this far down through history by Deleted by Moderator?

Procopius07 Jun 2010 9:27 a.m. PST

And all this talk of boobs and procreation is making me a bit malibog, so I might go in and see Mrs Procopius now.

Steve107 Jun 2010 9:29 a.m. PST

Sigh

Condottiere07 Jun 2010 9:43 a.m. PST

Sigh is right. You know what they say about people who have to openly discuss/prove their heterosexuality …

It would be better, I think, to keep such things private.

Brian Bronson07 Jun 2010 9:55 a.m. PST

And here I thought this was about some British variant of an American landing craft. Silly me.

John the OFM07 Jun 2010 9:57 a.m. PST

Or was the purpose of this topic to gather up Dawghouse inmates?

I think it would be pretty hypocritical of the Editor to DH anyone who freaks out over this question.

You know what they say about people who have to openly discuss/prove their heterosexuality.

Or their homosexuality/etc. I am annoyed by anyone who feels compelled to grab me by the lapels and shout their sexuality at me.
To me, it's not "Don't ask, don't tell', but "I don't know, and I don't care."

But from an evolutionary POV, surely we are supposed to evolve to something higher or better.

You miss the whole point of evolution. Evolution is not about progress or betterment. It is ONLY about the fact that those who get around to breeding are those who reproduce.

scotzkane07 Jun 2010 10:00 a.m. PST

I have been accused of being gay because I'm single.
I;ve worked with gays/lesbians and they just want to do the job, take the money and go home.
I suffer from 'diminished libido' due to meds I'm taking.
So, unless I'm painting up a SS Panzer Swish platoon, I don't see the relevancy.

This hobby allows me to escape and that's what it's all about.

pavelft07 Jun 2010 10:03 a.m. PST

I don't think TMP is an environment that would be conducive to coming out. For someone who is LGBT, and already under attack from society in general, coming out in a place that doesn't take them seriously is probably not a comfortable thing to contemplate.

Marquis07 Jun 2010 10:13 a.m. PST

Ah… a witty and erudite response as ever from Mr. P, topped off with yet another allusion to his manly prowess! Good lord, but the testosterone must flow like wine, back at the old homestead…

I am particularly impressed with the use of evolution AND Deleted by Moderator in the same paragraph! Well done, that man!

If only Alexander could have seen the error of his ways, eh? Think what he might have accomplished, notwithstanding his "missing out on boobs". :)

PapaSync07 Jun 2010 10:33 a.m. PST

I'm a man now , but in a previous life I was a lesbian. So my taste hasn't change much.

Are you sure it's not all this talk of Deleted by Moderator Procopius?

highlandcatfrog07 Jun 2010 11:07 a.m. PST

Oh Allen, posting a picture of one of those evil pin -striped daemons?

<shakes head>

What is the world coming to these days?

highlandcatfrog07 Jun 2010 11:08 a.m. PST

By the way, are we sure about what LGBT stands for? In this hobby I should think it meant Large Gut, Buddha Type.

Paul Hurst07 Jun 2010 12:09 p.m. PST

Hey, Bill! Any chance YOU can start a poll related to wargaming?

Normally I'd agree but I had no idea what LGBT stood for (must be my sheltered upbringing)I clicked to see what it was all about. Maybe the title should have read "Are you homosexual?" so I could avoid it.

We had a thread canned for discussing the Israeli Navy and yet this gets allowed?

As for homosexuality – common in nature at large….

Pizzagrenadier07 Jun 2010 1:03 p.m. PST

Being straight doesn't make anyone "Deleted by Moderator" any more than being gay makes anyone "special".

nycjadie07 Jun 2010 1:05 p.m. PST

"Deleted by Moderator?"

Maybe it's like the old Jewish joke that if you eat non-Kosher pork (verbotten) and dairy (verbotten to be consumer along with meat) at the same time they cancel out eachother.

Derek H07 Jun 2010 1:09 p.m. PST

I see a possible market for prawn sandwiches.

vtsaogames07 Jun 2010 1:13 p.m. PST

I think they need to come up with a more complex and opaque acronym.

Back in the day a fella I worked with called me "Homey". I told him I liked girls.

M1Fanboy07 Jun 2010 1:19 p.m. PST

I'm going to say this: Anyone, and I mean anyone who holds themselves to be better because of the gender of whom they wish to share their intimacy with is a very silly person indeed.

Bill, with all due respect, if anyone's of the LGBT persuasion on TMP, I really don't wanna know, and I really don't care. I more care about what periods they play (Burn all the 2mm players, they're just playing with grains of rice anyhow! ;-))

aecurtis Fezian07 Jun 2010 1:25 p.m. PST

"Maybe it's like the old Jewish joke that if you eat non-Kosher pork (verbotten) and dairy (verbotten to be consumer along with meat) at the same time they cancel out eachother."

I have yet to seethe a kid in its mother's milk. And I could buy the concept of kashrut. But as you know, Steve, Jewish observance is full of workarounds, and not just in jokes.

So when it's considered a requirement to wait several hours between meat and dairy--but it's to OK eat dairy, simply rinse your mouth and eat something pareve, and then you're able to immediately eat meat--I have a hard time taking it seriously. And it's really hard to explain to the youngsters.

But then, I wear cotton/polyester garments, too, so I am a sinner.

aecurtis Fezian07 Jun 2010 1:33 p.m. PST

Would it really make a difference if I, for example, had ever gotten frisky with fellers, as well as perpetuating the species with the distaff side? Other than M1Fanboy, who wouldn't want to know, would that really matter to anyone? Would that change anyone's opinion of a cranky, know-it-all, old TMPer?

I am curious to know.

Wouldn't this normally be a blue fez topic & get others DHed? Why do you get to break the rules yourself?

It's a request for a poll, not a call to discuss the morality of various sexual behaviors.

Maybe the title should have read "Are you homosexual?" so I could avoid it.

Bisexuals and many transexuals do not consider themselves to be homosexual.

christot07 Jun 2010 1:54 p.m. PST

I'm a lesbian trapped in a man's body

Marquis07 Jun 2010 1:59 p.m. PST

Good lord! I've been snipped (Ooh er, missus!).

Ed, old boy, what exactly was profane about my commending old Procopius with having used evolution AND Deleted by Moderator in the same paragraph? Is Deleted by Moderator off limits now too, or is it just "persona non grata" when used to point out logical inconsistencies?

I only ask, as I had a number of simply terrific Deleted by Moderator quotes at the ready concerning such things as "Deleted by Moderator", and "Deleted by Moderator", etc, etc…

Marquis07 Jun 2010 2:03 p.m. PST

Oh, and just for those who are ill-informed as to the current terminology, the current usage is:

LGBTQI

Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Trans, Queer/Questioning, Intersex

Do try to keep up to date on these important details, chums!

Since Deleted by Moderator has the prohibition against mixing Wool and Linen I think you are OK.

Personally I think the Editor is preparing his audience for his grand coming out and he plans to nail the closet door shut when he does so.

That thought makes sense.

So let's chant

"Bill's here, he's queer, he's the Ed!"

Marquis07 Jun 2010 2:10 p.m. PST

I would assume under Inter(species)sex?

aecurtis Fezian07 Jun 2010 2:15 p.m. PST

No, Col, that's a c.17th British economic statement right there. As you well know, that ain't what it says in Hebrew.
