Hmmm...This little test from the fruits over at Channel Four will allow us monkey-lovers to establish once and for all whether we're too straight or too gay. Unfortunately there's no separate category, as of yet, for unruly bonheurs.
Hmm... 53% gay. Smack dab in the middle - I never realized I was so... average.
Posted by: scribblative on August 7, 2002 07:02 AMI'm more than a quarter gay (26%) but still the invisible oracle advises me to "loosen up, my straight mate. These days women like a man with some softer edges to grab ontoE."
OntoE!
Posted by: Miguel on August 7, 2002 07:02 AM33%??? Even though I cut my hair only when laughed at?
Posted by: adampsyche on August 7, 2002 07:03 AM33%? but but i'm bisexual! the test LIES!
does anyone want to teach me how to change the oil in a car?
Posted by: pikachu lolita on August 7, 2002 07:07 AMSo P-Lo, Adam and me don't even add up to a complete man or woman? How pathetic! ;)
Posted by: Miguel on August 7, 2002 07:12 AMGod, I thought I was average, but now that I'm seeing all your results, I feel like Big Gay Al.
Posted by: scribblative on August 7, 2002 07:16 AMI am only 16% gay. I am a walking, talking, red-blooded hetero, mate.
Mate?
Posted by: yhbc on August 7, 2002 07:43 AM53% gay, same as scribblative. Just because I own a pair of leather pants? Sheesh.
Posted by: romakimmy on August 7, 2002 08:03 AM40%...I love the question about good drivers making good lovers.
Posted by: anathema on August 7, 2002 09:10 AManathema, you and i should, uh, get together (unless you're a man. um.)
i too am 40% gay, and like miguel, I was given advice so that I might be more easily grabbed "ontoÉ".
Posted by: Marquis on August 7, 2002 09:18 AMMontreal is one of my favorite cities and its only a few hours away and we have been talking about going up there for a while now...I'm not sure if I'm ready to ditch my fiancee at the border for you yet though. How about some pictures. The OED pass is definetely in your favor. Wait, are you actually French Canadian? Do you or any member of your family have plastic butterflies on the side of a lime-green house?
Posted by: anathema on August 7, 2002 09:33 AMI am neither French-Canadian nor butterfly-bearing, and the world's best bagels are available four blocks from my house.
The fiancee is a bit of a turn-off, though. Ditto for the misspelling of "definitely".
Posted by: Marquis on August 7, 2002 09:47 AM"Summer is 43% gay!" - that took me back to my schooldays for a second.
Posted by: Summer on August 7, 2002 09:56 AMAlternate questions for the test:
Have you ever referred to another man as:
a. Mary
b. Nancy
c. Sally
d. Mommy
Define the following words:
a. Tea Bagging
b. Fluffer
c. Bottom
d. Bear
I chickened out in the middle of the test-those of you who have taken it will understand.
But you also know WHAT I am so it was (irrevelant? irreverent?) anyway.
Posted by: b****fire on August 7, 2002 10:16 AM36% gay. they just don't know that i'm a lipstick lesbian.
Posted by: witchstone on August 7, 2002 10:18 AMJon is 16% gay
Oh, yeaaahhhh!
*beats chest, scratches ass, checks out babes, spits on floor*
Posted by: jonmc on August 7, 2002 10:26 AMNow I feel like a real lesbian. But where can I find one?
Posted by: Summer on August 7, 2002 11:54 AMMy left kneecap is gay, which causes me no end of embarrassment, what with its swanning about and attempts to influence decorating decision.
Posted by: kafkaesque on August 7, 2002 12:25 PMEBK is 23% gay! Man he's hot. I wonder during which 23% of the day I can get some of that!
Posted by: eyeballkid on August 7, 2002 12:29 PM26% here.
I have no clever comment to add.
Posted by: Crash on August 7, 2002 12:22 PM
You would if you were gay, sister.
Posted by: ColdChef on August 7, 2002 12:34 PM36%, bizzatches.
I take pride (pun intended) that I am gayer than p'Lo. I'm not sure why.
Posted by: jpoulos on August 7, 2002 01:13 PMthings i love about being gay:
-being able to say "wow, man. that shit is seriously gay." without getting a lecture on my heterosexism.
-hanging out with gay men.
-knowing in my heart that i am gayer than jpoulos, no matter what the numbers say.
Uh, am I the only straight female on this board?
jus' wonderin'...
Posted by: b****fire on August 7, 2002 03:44 PMI'm a trapped in a man body's straight lesbian.
babelfish or TCS, you be the judge.
Posted by: eyeballkid on August 7, 2002 04:51 PM53%. Right where I would put myself, happily aspiring to being a drag queen, despite the fact that I'm a chick and married. I can't change oil, but I'm purely low maintenance with the hairdo. Pro-beer, anti-sports.
On second thought, maybe 53% gay, or 100% confused.

While we are on the topic, why are straight people called "straight" anyway?
Posted by: b****fire on August 7, 2002 05:00 PMnot married - forever wishing i was gay. i even came out to my mother once, and she told me not to be ridiculous. WHY AM I NOT GAY is pretty much the story of my life.
Posted by: goneill on August 7, 2002 05:23 PMI got 50% gay...happy and healthy hetero babe, so they say. ;) I know *how* to change the oil in my car...but I'm way more likely to pay someone else to do it.
Go: came out to my mother once...
Hysterical. I bet your mom and my mom would have such a nice time over coffee. :) She sounds like a hoot.
Posted by: dejah420 on August 7, 2002 05:32 PMStraight....as in "not bent"..."straight and narrow, not veering off to the side of hellfire and eternal damnation where you will be poked with pointy sticks forever and ever, and there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth."
"What if you don't have teeth?"
"Teeth will be provided."
Posted by: kafkaesque on August 7, 2002 05:44 PMDon't forget the worms.
To change the subject, have any of you seen "Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood"?
I went with about 10 other gals yesterday (parrr-tay!). Ultimate chick flick.
Why I went from sexual preference to this I will never know. Just blame it on my "condition that dare not speak its name".
Posted by: b****fire on August 7, 2002 05:58 PMForget that - I want coffee with you. Where are you anyway? Are you going to crash cold chef's wedding with us?
Posted by: goneill on August 7, 2002 06:04 PMThings I like about being het:
-less arduous personal grooming
-ability to belch and fart publicly
-freedom to walk around publicly while displaying total lack of fashion sense.
The unwritten law of 9622 states that you shall never utter the words "Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood".
May The Lord have mercy on your soul.
Posted by: kafkaesque on August 7, 2002 06:05 PM*fears another gratuitous self-flannel-link from jonmc*
Posted by: kafkaesque on August 7, 2002 06:06 PMI notice I am the only one that gets called out on these "unwritten laws". Where is my evil twin when I need him?
Posted by: b****fire on August 7, 2002 06:11 PMIt disturbs me to note that a certain online support group I frequent is so much more normal than this place. *delicate shudder*
Posted by: b****fire on August 7, 2002 06:13 PM*fears another gratuitous self-flannel-link from jonmc*
Face Your Fears, Kaf. IThere's a monkey to soften the blow at least.
Posted by: jonmc on August 7, 2002 06:36 PMThat's creepy, K.
I was Googling "flannel monkey" just this morning and found that picture.
Posted by: Crash on August 7, 2002 06:58 PMNo, mom! I was just googling my flannel monkey! Honest!
Posted by: kafkaesque on August 7, 2002 07:00 PMMeanwhile, in today's Popbitch:
"Bonobos are pygmy chimpanzees who shag anything. Lesbian bonobos are into genito-genital frotting. One female faces the other and clings with arms and legs to her. The first monkey, standing on both hands and feet, lifts her friend off the ground. The two females then rub their genitals laterally together, emitting grins and squeals that reflect orgasmic experiences.
Gay male bonobos practice Penis-Fencing: two males hang face to face from a branch while rubbing their erect penises together. They also like standing back-to-back, with one male rubbing his scrotum against the buttocks of another."
More wanky bonobo fun:

Penis-fencing?
En garde!
*waves penis around like an épeé*
Hmm. Someone could put an eye out.
*sheaths épeé*
Posted by: Crash on August 7, 2002 08:01 PMSame time, same place, Kevin? I'll bring the feather boas! ;)
Posted by: Miguel on August 8, 2002 02:25 PMThat's the same score as me TJ?
*gives tj the once over*
you fill out those Levi's nicely, you know?
