Slog - Comments on Finley = No Pride! http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/06/finley_no_pride According to Seattlepride.org, the always delightful Peggy Platt, Sylvia O'Stayformore and some straw-haired milquetoast-ish looking news anchor from NWCN called Erik will be sharing the announcer's seat at Seattle's Pride Parade this year, and one Miss Mark Finley, Seattle's dizzy gay Aunt Clara and the long-time embarrassment of all things gay and pride-ish, is conspicuously out, out, OUT! And not in the proud way. There was no comment from Seattle Pride on this year's notable exclusion of Finley because I didn't ask for one, but one thing is for damn sure: There is doubtless to be a conspicuous absence of...

Hands down the best drag queen in this city, and a wonderful person as well. We used to co-host a public access program called "Hootenanny" (I was known as Tony Capri in those days), and she was the brains AND beauty behind that thing.
Yay, yay and yay!

Huh, I've always heard members of the US Navy referred to as "crazed, insatiable, bossy power-bottoms" (this is 1,000,000% true and everyone knows it).

As a gay man, I've always found Mark Mom Finley to be an embarrassment and an eyesore, someone who does far more harm than good to the Homosexual cause. So I say, good fucking riddance.

The reason the Pride Festival Committee has boycotted Finley from ruining the pride parade again this year, is because last year Mark Mom Finley lied (to them and the entire Seattle gay community) yet again, by announcing that he was a "CO-Founder of Gay Bingo" (they had this printed in their promotional literature and websites). The NWAA was notified and an embarrassing drama ensued. It came out that Finley had spewed yet another outrageous lie - they obviously didn’t check their facts beforehand with the NWAA. That and the appallingly unprofessional, embarrassing and un-entertaining host job Finley has done for the last two years…

It looks like Mark Mom Finley’s disability fraud has finally caught up with her/it/he/she…. I was hoping she would be arrested this year in front of everyone. Disabled my ass! Last year she rode a segway down Broadway! Boy, I wish I was able to do all the partying, drinking and shameless lecherous flirting Finley does and get a nice fat disability check from the governmnet too!

Who’s stinkin’ drunk, & fallin’ down stairways
Missing her teeth and losin’ her hair
Who's reaching out to capture your privates?

Everyone knows it's Finley

Who's stumblin’ round the streets of the city
leering at every twink she sees?
Who's reachin' out to grab your privates?
Everyone knows it's Finley

And Finley has blood-shot eyes
That cross when he tells his lies
And Finley has lies that reach
Above the clouds (above the clouds)
Above the clouds (above the clouds)

[Flute]

And Finley has blood-shot eyes
That cross when he tells his lies
And Finley has lies that reach
Above the clouds (above the clouds)
Above the clouds (above the clouds)

Who’s stinkin’ drunk, & fallin’ down stairways
Hitin’ on E’vry twink she sees
Who's reachin' out to grab on your privates
Everyone knows it's Finley
[Repeat And fade]
