"No... we're straight. Just merry." - Cary Elwes, Robin Hood: Men In Tights

[BlessedByLiberty]

This definitely clears up the Clinton Marriage and regime for me.

[TightSqueeze]

Maid Marian was of course... Mauve Marvin? Marvelous

[N. Theknow]

YOIKS! and AWAY!

I believe Daffy later became Friar Duck.

What was the real reason with Little John being called.............little?

*blink blink*

You know, I went back and looked at the header, COMPLETELY expecting to see that the source URL was from TheOnion.com.

I was going to laugh, but now I may cry, seeing that this appears to be serious! arg!

Johnny says to the school teacher: "Ma'am, what's a leather?"

Teacher: "Leather? What are you talking about?"

Johnny: "Well, I'm reading Robin Hood and it says right here "Robin Hood ripped his leather jerkin off"."

It's funny because a "jerkin" was a piece of clothing worn during that time. And so he had a "jerkin" that was made of leather. And the kid thought...well..YOU KNOW!!!

I hate it when I can't tell if a joke went over peoples heads or whether it just wasn't funny...

"It's about time school history lessons acknowledged the contribution of famous homosexuals"

Sounds like NAMBLA is getting into the primary education business. The NBO strikes again!

[Ladysmith]

Popular folk hero Robin Hood, who took from the rich and gave to the poor, was gay, claims a literary expert.

Oh, well, there you go. A qualified authority on the subject...

...yeah, right...

Little John=Little Johnson?

[Constitution Day]

Yes, he did.
Guess he should have upgraded from the buck-and-a-quarter quarterstaff!

;~)

[habs4ever]

It's a certainty that sooner or later everyone will be outed as being gay, so why not have an academic report on who is a known straight?

I've posted this before, but it seems relevant, again:

Ten Things That Would Be Different If The 12 Apostles Had Been Gay

10. The Last Supper would have been brunch.
09. The Beatitudes would start, "Fabulous are they....."
08. Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem screams for a production number with lots of ostrich feather palm fronds and a large oyster shell, instead of just a donkey and some palm leaves.
07. The water at the wedding feast of Canaan would not have been changed to wine, but to extra dry Bombay Sapphire martinis with a touch of Curacao for color.
06. The temple would not only have been cleansed of money changers, but redecorated as well.
05. Mary's hair would have been flawless.
04. The Gospels would be Matthew, Mark, Lance and Bruce.
03. Priests would have torrid affairs with altar boys......wait. Never mind.
02. Jesus would never wear white after Labor Day.
01.The Sermon on the Mount would have been a musical.

That comment makes no sense. It has nothing to do with public or private schools. Its just an excuse you use because you think that you are better than people who send their children to public schools and that is crap. If you do a good enough job rasing your child, they will get a good education wherever they go. Now, private schools can be good if you did a bad job a raising your daughter because they will keep her in line there and makes sure she learns.

[Macman]

Thats a "buck and a quarter" quarter staff.

[Grig]

A straight professor would not think that way. The professor is so disgusted with his gayness that he is trying to create a role model to make himself feel better about himself.

How can you prove that someone who hasn't been proven to even exist is gay?

What? You got a problem with liberal logic? Pay attention.

If he did not exist, he did not have sexual relations with women. Gay guys do not have sexual relations with women. He did not have sexual relations with women, therefore he was gay. Got it?

[oc-flyfish]

I am speechless at the stupity of his claim...

[Dakmar]

In related news, it was recently discovered that Judy Garland hated homosexuals.

Ah, there's nothing like a little counter-propaganda.

[Bonaparte]

Excellent point about Tonto and the Lone Ranger. I'm sure we're all familiar with this great epic poem --

Silver, silver everywhere
Tonto lost his underwear
Tonto say "me no care,
Lone Ranger buy me 'nother pair."

Just how does a man lose his underwear? And what sort of fella shops for another guy's skivvies? And why would he feel obligated to do so, unless he also felt responsible for the loss? And why would he feel competent to do this, unless he knew Tonto's taste in underwear? Obviously, the "Lone" Ranger had a constant companion and was really the Rump Ranger. I'll bet there are many examples like this. We should all send them in to Prof. Knight.
