The Gays #001
There's always been gaydar. I think the straight folks who either can't learn it (Christian Extremism and voting Republican are in that same locus) or won't learn it (irony-impairment travels on the same gene) treat gaydar with the same kind of paranoia that makes people go to Epcot instead of going to the real countries.
It used to be that you could get around this ghastly lack by singing “Clang! Clang! Clang!” to a potential Matachine and if they respond with “Went the Trolley”, well, you have a bonafide (hehe, I said 'bone') homosexual on your hands (so to speak). But that's an old song that most people probably don't even know anymore.
There is a new hope, however: The KitchenAid Stand Mixer.
Got one? Then you're a Big Ol' 'Mo. Sorry, you just are.

Hah! I got one, and I ain't no mo! Well, it's my wife's thing, but I clean it and polish it lovingly before putting it away. She bakes, I cook. Hi again. -Don

Well, they'd be fierce, daring I say RAVING, metrosexuals, then.

Oh man, I have two Kitchen-aids and a Cuisinart so I must be really, really gay. I bought the big one because...have you ever tried to make batter for two cheesecakes with the small bowl? nuff said. I have the pebbled-steel gray uber-power version and the normal cobalt blue mixer. Kind of like a big butch daddy and his pretty plaything.

I don't have one. But I WANT one! Can I keep my MO card?

Add that to my Christmas wish list. It'll just collect dust, but I NEED IT BADLY!

Could Mom have 2 Mo's in the same family? i was just looking at one the other day to buy

I guess I don't get to be a 'Mo, since I don't have one.. I want one, but A). have no place I could actually use it and B). have the smallest kitchen in the universe, so couldn't make anything with it.
I do think Anthony is a 'Mo by proxi since he is related and cool!..

If I want one, and my girlfriend wants one, but we both want different colors, do we become MOs when our powers combine? Or do we just have MO envy?

I guess some of you could be M'Os (metrosexuals) instead of 'MOs.
If you MUST.

Oh dear! Is it possible to be triple gay? I have two white stand mixers (different sizes) and a dark blue hand mixer. I guess that means I get three Gay Cards...LOL
