This probably belongs under sports, but I thought it also fit here, to show that those people can accomplish anything, just like straights.

I imagine he had to take up running to escape from the schoolyard bullies.....

[fuelair]

Gay who?

Thanks, we try! :D

Which people, blacks?

If this is your idea of humor, please get over yourself.

Especially unfunny, given that you state that your location is "The White Zone".

I think it was supposed to be a joke about sexual orientation, not colour.

Do ya' think??? :)

[Complexity]

Oh, well that's ok?

He apparently didn't bother to read the article.

It wasn't funny, regardless of which flavor of bigotry he wanted to display.

Actually, it was very funny, and you've made it more so.

Jeez, where else would you expect to find the central scrutinizer?

maybe closer to some church oriented social activities.

[CptColumbo]

I would be happy too, if I won the gold medal.

Junior High was probably not a lot of fun for Mr. Gay. At least his first name wasn't Richard.

...unless you're talking about straight white people, in which case 100m World Championship wins are out of question.

good grief. It was a joke - what do you mean "apparently didn't bother to read the article"? Do you think that CS thought that the 100m winner was homosexual, and started a thread on that?

[TragicMonkey]

It would be inconvenient for Mr Gay if he actually were gay. Imagine trying to come out to people: "I have to tell you something...I'm gay." "How do you do? I'm Monroe."

[Mid]

Oh do we really have to go to the extreme position here, can't we agree on mildly amusing instead? :)

[baron]

Yep, fairly funny, but this thread is funnier

[a_unique_person]

Do ya' think??? :)

Over 20,000 posts on JREF has improved my intelligence somewhat, as you just saw.

[jsiv]

I giggled a little.

[HarryKeogh]

Which one of those guys is Gay? The one in the spandex shorts?

[Complexity]

Not funny. Bigoted and condescending.

Adjust his statement as needed for women, blacks, Jews, etc.

I love a good joke. There are a lot of good jokes about gays.

I think this was intended as a cut, not as a funny.

I am somehow reminded of an ancient Doonesbury strip. Joanie Caucus is flirting shamelessly with handsome young Andy Lippencot:

Andy: Um... Joanie, there's something I should tell you.
Joanie: You're married, aren't you!
Andy: No, Joanie, I'm gay.
Joanie: So? I'm usually cheerful too!
Andy: No, I mean...
Joanie: Oh, my god. Are they sure?
Andy: I'm sure, Joanie.

(As I recalled, numberous papers banned Doonesbury either temporarily or they moved them to another part of the paper.)

Hey, you, stick, out of ass, now!

Settle down Beavis. Get a sense of humor. They're free!

Careful! Complexity will accuse you of being a racist!

You mean he wasn't a homosexual? DOH!!! What a wacky misunderstanding. :eek: ;)

Remember, just because you think something isn't funny doesn't mean it isn't funny.

"Bush loves Dick" is half my act. I don't know what I'm gonna do after January, 2009.

And as a gay person, let me tell you, this thread is not offensive. :)

[Darth Rotor]

Gay who?
*Virgil Tibbs voice* (Sydney Poitier version)

"They call me Mister Gay!"

Well, they probably do, when "they" are being formal.

I noticed from the article that at the level where those speedsters race, a lot of "who wins" is mental. The guy who took third has set the record three times, but didn't win this race.

I see, the old fast twitch bigotry fairly leaps from the page. :D (Wait a minute, didn't Woody Harrelson do a movie about that with Wesley Snipes? :confused: )

Jesse Owens for one hundred meters, Adolf. ;)

[Segnosaur]

Could have been worse...

He could have been competing in the pole vault. Now that would have made for some even bigger jokes.

[TragicMonkey]

I was hoping somebody would make a Frontrunner joke by now. I can't think of one.

[Tricky]

For several years, by pure chance, I had a license plate that read GAY 69R. I was in constant fear of being rear-ended.

You obviously don't know me very well.;)

[joyrex]

This one deserves to be Forum Spotlight.

[Sir Robin Goodfellow]

Whew. For a minute there I thought them gaysexuals was trying to steal glory away from normal folks, and maybe give them the gay at the same time.

[Number Six]

I'm surprised Gay won the 100 meter championship since gay guys usually aren't interested in meetin' 'er.

Omigawd! It's contageous???!!!!

Pastor Haggard told me he caught it from a toilet seat.

Don't believe that BS. It is from sharing needles when you're mainlining Jesus.

You can get the gay from public toilets, but it depends on what you're doing in there. Contact your senator for more information.

[Sir Robin Goodfellow]

According to a very scholarly scientician (Fred Phelps) in a well-known scholarly journal (The Phelps Newsletter), the gay can be prevented by regular doses of vitamin P (prayer). To see if this treatment is working, once a month you should hire a male prostitute. If you don't enjoy this encounter, Jesus is healing your gaysexuality.

Gay wins 200 m as well, leaving his main rival Spearmon in the dust.
