Not to start the thread off-topic, but does anyone know where Loveschild and SeattleBlues went to?

I kind of miss the counterpoints, and the unintentional humor of LC's inanity and SB's constantly and drastically changing life which always "proved" his points.

Loveschild hasn't been around in forever. I always figured the troll just got bored with it (or the stranger staff felt it was time to stop being that person for fun)

For SB, When gay marriage passed in the house and senate he threatened to leave our state and move. Maybe he has actually done so.

Why did the one guy in the video get kicked off Drag Race last night? Watched 90 minutes without them ever getting to the explanation of what rules were broken. The show is entertaining (best Pam Anderson cameo possible), but that was enough to stop watching entirely.

@3 My guess is some petty infraction, like making contact with the outside world. Perhaps snuck a cell phone or laptop into the hotel. If it were some truly scandalous reason, no doubt it would have been shown.

The song is funny. Yay Willam.

@4 - Based on what I've read elsewhere, it sounds like you're probably right. Some people who claim to be in the know (no idea if they're legit or not) say that Willam's husband was sneaking shoes to his hotel room.

The editing on the show is entertaining, but always misleading. Based on the edit, I'm guessing that most viewers think it was drugs.

I thought it was drugs. The throwing up thing seemed completely contrived.

It's stupid to say a show about drag queens should have more integrity, but the fact that they play it so legit is half of why it's so funny and outrageous. That Untucked episode was like a dick in the eye.

@4 - Hmmm, yeah that makes sense. I thought maybe she was openly doing drugs or something -- like that might have explained the weird throwing up offstage. If it was something banal like having contact with the outside world, I don't know why they went to such lengths to edit around it and make it ambiguous. Maybe an effort to create anticipation for the reunion show?

I've noticed a big decrease in commenter personalities in the last year all around Seattle blogs.

On Publicola for example, especially once the tunnel thing was settled, it all but dried up on some posts.

This is much better than a boycott. All the gays should use Chick-fil-a as an unofficial meeting spot/club, just hang out there and dance and stuff.

Just checking out William Belli on IMDB, I see he's in the sequel to my all-time-favorite drag movie, "Girls Will Be Girls," which is cleverly titled, "Girls Will Be Girls 2012." Not going to miss it!

Dear @8, that is not an invitation to ratchet up your particular brand of wacky. You have been quite lucid and on-message recently though, so thanks.

Get the Director's cut with the drag queen commentary version, BR.

@7, Considering the queens all retire to the lounge to drink cocktails after every challenge, I doubt drug use would be an issue. It's probably something super stupid.

Alternative / Conspiracy Theory: Willam was a plant who Ru had planned to kick off the show in a bold and dramatic manner all along, waiting for the right challenge so he could spare the two LSFYL queens by sending Willam home.

@13- Yeah, I mean there is a difference between drinking a cocktail and doing illegal drugs.

This might be my new favorite thing.

This is the first time I've realized that it's pronounced chick-fil-AY instead of chick-filla. I get it--filet!
The meaning of the rest of the video completely escapes me.
