AARP, FNMTV, AND MORE LETTER FUN

That’s when I realized I was in an Elderly Gay Bar! That’s how the story ends.

I’ll let that settle in for a second. Got it? And we’re moving on. The way the story begins is this. The other day I was walking around the city with a friend and stopped for lunch at a little corner bar. I noticed the bartender was a little extra sassy, but who isn’t in Center City. It wasn’t until a couple older gentlemen walked in and the flirting got turned up to 11 that I became suspicious. The clincher was definitely when they asked if my friend and I were married. And that…wait for it…was when I realized I was in an Elderly Gay Bar. A homosexual Boca Raton if you will. This is awesome news. Why shouldn’t there be an Elderly Gay Bar? If we are going to segment everything else in society than we should all get a fair shake. I mean there are way too many bars that cater to the “cover your lack of personality with loud dance music” crowd. Let’s convert a couple of those into comfortably quiet spots with good Chicken Fingers. Your move Nutter.


The other thing that took me by surprise Friday was this FNMTV show on MTV. If you’re ever looking to prove to your doubting friends that you actually DO get seizures and have ADD then this is the show for you! I love music videos, but at the age of 25 I feel like I can handle the full dose. Thank you MTV for your preventative measures but, really I’m cool. To distract you from this point is the laser light spectacular that precedes each video. Wow. Even traffic lights scare me now. Thank you MTV for bringing back videos, you’re half way there. If you dream it you can achieve it!
