"Do you know the phrase 'arse bandit' for a gay?"

Highlights include:
"Bear Cookin': The Original Guide to Bear Comfort ... Aimed at husky, hairy gay men—and their admirers—the book presents convenient and satisfying recipes for anyone who loves to cook—and eat!" and "Out of Our Kitchen Closets: San Francisco Gay Jewish Cooking".
What on earth? I realise minority communites sometimes have culture-specific tastes in music, literature and so forth, but gay food? I knew that smoking altered one's sense of taste, but smoking pole?
Do these books actually sell? If so, who to? People with an odd sense of humour? Or the homosexual equivalent of the nouveaux riche, recently out or actively experimenting, desperate to flaunt their sexuality and show they're part of the gang?
More royalist than the Queen, perhaps?

Or
"Lick My Matzoh Balls"
Are these people not familiar with Sodom and Gemmorah? Do they somehow think that fudge packing is part of kosher cooking?

On further reflection, I wonder if the book is aimed at Sephardick or Asshkenasi
Jews. Oops, sorry, that's sort of an 'in' joke ('in' being one of 'us'.

You're Jewish?

Oy vay, what a noodnick! Yes, of course I am; or, more to the point, a secular Jew.
You're probably in recovery as I type this, so you won't see this for a few days? All is well we hope!

Exactly what kind of crossword puzzle is your mum working on?

Not in recovery. Went for bloods today. Two cotton buds taped to my arms.
Renogram tomorrow, biopsy on Thursday.
I have no idea what kind of novel she was reading.
No wonder you're anti-Arab. Broad your horizons man - you're genetically more similar to them than you'd like to think. :)

Actually, I'm not. My ancestry is Slavic; for various and historical reasons, some Slavic people s are MOT. I'm not anti-Arab, I'm anti any terrorist faction.
My horizons ARE broadened...I'd love to boink the local Iranian women, they're VERY attractive!

MOT?
I like the way you say I'm not anti-Arabs, I'm anti-terrorist.

Hey! I'm anti IRA; that doesn't mean I'm anti-Irish. I support the East Timorese cause; doesn't mean I'm anti Indonesian... :doze:
