Homo "L" Is for Leather

Posted by Dominic Holden on Fri, Feb 6, 2009 at 9:35 AM

This weather is dismal; we need to gay things up. And yes, these extremely pressing videos—both a million years old—will consume the internet's last few cubic inches of bandwidth. First, the gay alphabet set to disco funk:

Next, the top 10 toys that make you gay. Good lord, I had a couple of them:

Tip from NaFun, who is not gay.

Weren't both of these posted last week? Or am I thinking of another blog(s)?

These have never been posted or watched ever before. By anyone. Everything you see on Slog is fresh, even if it was posted last week.

The adult gay version of underroos are surprisingly the same as the kid version just much more expensive.

I haven't seen them and I am the Slog historian and expert.

I loved my Batman Underoos. For some reason, I really wanted the Aquaman ones. My cousin had them, and I remember coveting them. Finding them on the floor of my bathroom, I though about trying them on. Then I noticed the smell - and the skidmarks. I'm still a big Batman fan. Aquaman - not so much.

As for adult Underoos - you can find them on any given Saturday night at the Seattle Eagle.

The weather is not dismal. It's Seattle, it's February, and it's the first rainy day we've had in weeks. The dry weather was beginning to freak me out.

I was just talking about pogo balls, what awesome toys those were....

Ummmmm...heeellloo!?? Where's the Cabbage Patch?? I wanted one of those fugly dolls so bad in 6th grade. My parents finally gave in. I'm sure they regret ever buying me that thing. And yes, it did make me gay.

How on earth did I end up gay? I never had a single one of those toys.

The spoog gun -- I mean "Oozinater" -- is totally gay, but too late for me. I'd already been gay for at least 30 years or so before it was invented.

I think Barbies made me a little bit gay, and I'm a girl. I used to make them hump all the time. Clack Clack Clack!

I had a Nosey Bear! Thats why I'm gay!

I was always jealous of the kids who could wear Underoos. But those stupid things gave me a rash, so I couldn't wear them to assist me in pretending I was a boy/super hero... but now I have grown-up Superman panties, and all is well with the world.

Dominic, we'd like you to tell us which ones you had, and which ones you liked best, and which ones had the biggest impact on your gayness.

Are those kids drinking flasks in the My Buddy commercial?

Posted by w7ngman on February 6, 2009 at 10:52 AM

I liked the parody of the My Buddy commercial that Robot Chicken did. Not sure if it is on youtube though.

Number one can't be real...can it? You know every person in that conference room was thinking the same thing when they approved that ad!

Posted by Georgia Guy on February 6, 2009 at 11:29 AM

Dude, those pogo ball things were kewl.

And the people who made the jizzsoaker commercial should be arrested.

@11 When I was in fourth grade, my barbies were all definitely part of a nudist colony, way before I knew what one was. I still vividly remember my best friend from those days being very surprised and excited (in a "this is so naughty, what if our parents come in" kind of way) that I wanted to see what they looked like naked.

That's when I knew I was different than she was. We both wanted to see Ken naked, but I was definitely more interested in barbie than she was. I didn't have a name for it for another eight years, but all my female attractions go back to that one day in her bedroom.

So yeah. Barbie Made Me Like Girls.

"Major pumping required"!

I think the moral of this story is that the 80's make you gay.

the early nineties only make you bi.
