Gay Atlanta: Printing commitment ceremony announcements (Pickle-Smoocher Alert)

Atlanta Jurnal Constitution ^ | 8-26-02 | Jay Croft

One cultural commentator told USA Today that the Times' announcement on commitment ceremonies was both a cultural bellwether and "reflecting reality, at least a reflection of elite culture."

I believe New York also voted for Al Gore and Mike Dukakis.

You can almost hear his lisp as he imagines what a fictitious gay wedding announcement will sound like. He has obviously sniffed one too many "poppers" in the local public bathroom.

By the way there's a poll to freep.

As far as I can tell, this guy has ONE topic in life.

Bobby Short, the noted cabaret pianist and vocalist, performed "The Way You Look Tonight" at the ceremony, the first for both grooms.

Oh, great. Just when I was forgetting I had a gag reflex.

Pickle-Smoocher Snicker.

[robertpaulsen]

Barf alert, especially on the fictitious announcement. Then again, have you read birth announcements lately?

"A daughter was born to Kharenn Smith, 17 and Billy Ray Johnson, 18. Kandie Lacie Mahree joins sisters Joi Kristalle Deneese and Bettie Lewize Kehroll."

Gotta love the different last names.

[headsonpikes]

"Pickle-smoocher"???

Okay, there's always a new one! LOL!

Until 1987, The Times refused to allow the word 'gay' as a synonym for 'homosexual.'

Now it, and most other papers, use no word for "homosexual" other than "gay," making it impossible to distinguish between chaste homosexual persons and raving gay activists.

Dumb question: Can anyone do this if they pay the fee. I have the feeling a freep is in order.

AppyPappy and dead were united in conjugal bliss at the Hooters on Palm Ave following a chance encounter in the restroom. Following the ceremony, they plan to spend a weekend at the Squealing Pig Ranch in Butte Monque, Montana.

Lance - I find your use of the term "pickle smoocher" offensive. "Bone smoker" would be more appropriate. Please make a note of it. 8^D

[BikerNYC]

"Bone smoker" would be more appropriate.

Hey! I take offense at this. My girlfriend is a "bone smoker."

[shaggy eel]

,,, somewhere, right now, a jar of pickles is shaking in fear of deployment.

[Lance Romance]

I'm sure Mr. Croft would like to test your gag reflex.

[river rat]

Does that mean that fairy, faggot, queer and sodomite are ruled out?

Isn't it amazing that some folks get to rename themselves frequently --- and then make it a hate crime to call them otherwise?
Semper Fi

[facedown]

Pickle smoocher.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!

[Khepera]

Homosexuals belong in prison.

[AngryJawa]

How hard did she hit you when you called her that?

[BikerNYC]

Doesn't matter how hard she hits me, I never complain when she smokes bone.

[general_re]

I always was a little suspicious of that one - the Groucho routine didn't fool me...
