Slog - Comments on My Gayest Look http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/03/my_gayest_look Deeply annoyed Americans—gay and straight—are giving Jay Leno their "gayest look" at MyGayestLook.com. Our own Erica C. Barnett is at the top of the site right now. I'm in there somewhere too—and taking Armistead Maupin's picture under that billboard advertising closets? Totally my idea.

I think this is awesome. Dan--your photo's totally cute. And so is Mr. Maupin's. Speaking of Maupin, I'm in San Francisco right now and can't figure out how anyone can live anywhere else.

You should try lugging concrete block for minimum wage, or pulling squeegees in a t-shirt sweat shop. The sweat means more that way, you should try it. Guaranteed the best workout you ever got, plus the weight loss plan is good when you can no longer afford food.

Take a minimum wage job and donate your free time to something better.

Yup...People do that at the AFU in Bremerton. You should try it.

Was anybody else completely bummed by "Maybe The Moon" or entirely pissed off at the ending of "The Night Listener?" I *LOVE* the "Tales" books but I haven't read "Tolliver" because so much of his output after the original 6 "Tales" volumes has been so disappointing. He's still a great storyteller, the stories have just gotten sadder and darker.

I'd love to catch up with "Mouse," but I'm afraid it would just disappoint.
