just came across this in the Boston.Com front page. the first line is a link to the story.

"Can you tell who's gay and who's not?"

And the caption to the picture..

"Gaydar signals are jammed by metrosexuals - straight men who care about fashion, fitness, and grooming."

Gaydar, huh? Sounds like the latest invention of the military (to go with their sex bomb they reported earlier).. either that or a new innovation in their don't ask, don't tell policy.

:rolleyes:

They're not nearly the linguistic innovator that our president is.

And, geez, you've never heard of "gaydar" before? I thought I lived under a rock ;)

No, never.

An NYU reporter thinks George and Jerry are gay.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Hubris. You sound so certain, but I could swear there is an episode where Elaine talks about it.


She tries to convert a gay man back to her team.
