Gay Games Rowing Apparently NOT A Euphemism

July 17th, 2006 · No Comments · Fascinations, Local

Today’s Posting Delayed

In response to an unprecedented Heck Of A Guy blogging crisis, today’s regular post will be deferred until this afternoon. In a prepared statement, DrHGuy, the beloved psychiatrist turned raconteur, social critic, and bon vivant, who produces the Heck Of A Guy Blog, explained

Crystal Lake’s initial response to the Gay Games was a blogging snarkophile’s wet dream. There was controversy, there were city officials taking ridiculous political stands, there were citizens predicting that their front lawns would be violated by by hell-bound fornicators. Yesterday’s actual performance, however, was a catastrophe – it was, literally, a day in the park. And who wants to read about that?

The Vision1

The Reality

Who Knew?

As it turns out, Gay Games “rowing” was not, as was widely assumed, a euphemism for some kind of kinky, depraved behavior, probably involving large groups of individuals, battery-powered implements, and perhaps farm animals. Apparently, “rowing,” as used in Gay Games Rowing meant “rowing” — propelling a boat with oars.

And who could have predicted that the excitement and flamboyance associated, for example, with the Gay Pride Parade would dissipate into something that resembled — well, a rowing contest. The rowing events were athletic and pretty enough, but watching it was not markedly dissimilar from enduing an afternoon of watching the World Cup soccer championships — without the hooligans. Or the headbutting.

Later

So, it’s gonna take a bit to replace the pre-written copy that was to be today’s post with something that sorta kinda reflects what really happened.
