Stuff Straight People Say – Episode 1
One of my favourite things about TMC are the comments we get. Whether it’s an objection to some bloody pics, the sharing of some gay slang or just a reader’s support, it’s always great to get feedback, no matter how small, ranty or random. There’s no denying the role that our readers (that’s you lovely lot) have played in the evolution of TMC: we’ve adapted and grown based on your feedback. And what better tribute than to encapsulate one reader’s particular comment through the medium of animation. If you’re out there B I’ve just got to say: thank you for sharing. :D
OH genius genius.
omg i’m internet famous, thank you sticky toffee pudding thank you
that story is a part of a little piece i ‘m working on called ‘notes toward a lesbian situation comedy season 1: dvd extras’
OYG! we should meet! been working on a comedy sketch book myself! presently its called: less bien/adventures on a coffee high. They can b found scrolling a few pages past ur fame!
Would consider that, since 1) it’s hard for me to self-discipline when it comes to writing creatively because I always end up linking it too closely to my day job and 2) I just moved to London a month ago so always am on the look out for a new friend that is also unrelated to said job (am in the antiquarian book trade, lots of indiana jones type recovery of pre-1640 books but in an office not a tunnel with nazis and spiders). Drop me an e-mail?
Sounds interesting, dear B-and can I call you Mafiosi? I cant work without surnames(its a good comedian requirement,you must know). Email will b in your inbox. If you feel your stomach bending until you cant walk its a good sign we have similar humour! where are you from, the deep south?it sounds as if you have been stuck in a very unpleasant Jones geopolitics
My name should link to my e-mail now? Unless I’m doing something wrong. Will let you know how my humor holds out. And unpleasant is the exact opposite of what it is, my analogy was just to liken the rare booktrade to the thrill chills and spills of harrison ford on the big screen but with less historical inaccuraces! (The only real problem with the trade is that the median age is old white male.)
Confusion over emails.I dont have your email! The analysis of your name made me think I did. Anyway, dont you think theres enough exposure of bad comedy? your job sounds serious I understand you need escapism. 0xxx You get my votes for being humorous. My email is: masshysteria@samsungmarketing.co.jap
@ Brooke – No, no thank you for the comedy! I’m intrigued by this sitcom, hope it’s all going well. Also glad to see a bit of creative networking going on, that’s what we like to encourage here at TMC.
@P.G.Y. Yr e-mail ain’t workin. Scroll over my name for mine or otherwise I will assume our collaborative career has gone abortive. Tho’ no hard feelings.
@Sticky Toffe&c. The first episode will be ‘The Mississippi Episode’ and characters will get research stipends to do ethnographic studies on the Mississippi prom scene and end up going undercover as a straight single parent elected to chair the prom committee of a high school. I think. There will be lots of ‘She’s All That’ references probably too, accent on the end-of-the-movie dance sequence at prom to the Rockefeller Skank.
Similarly, do ya’ll know of any book clubs? I keep running into other 20 somethings who ‘like to read’ but are in book clubs that read ‘eat pray love’ and i ‘like to read’ too much to contribute to that economy. I wanna start a [lesbian] book group that reads whatever we want with a few quality-control related exceptions and liberal drinking. Is there a need for this sortof thing or no?
Brooke, you are a lady after my own heart. I am in fact starting a book club with a friend, shall I send you the reading list? It’s not entirely lez, but it is gay, so we’ll be reading anything from gay authors.
Yes! Please do!
Like the gay constraint, it offers a lot that I haven’t encountered beyond hearsay (I called myself an English major, but stuck to the 15-17th centuries).
Uhm, suggestion:

I would be well up for a gay bookclub if it was South-East London based… yeah, I’m very lazy.
@ecclescake I’m in SE, I’d do it, and can think of 2 others who would. What do you wanna read?
