jon's blog

i could go on for 40 days and 40 nights about my blog title and bore you to bits and pieces with 10,000 different ideas i actually had for the name of this blog but because of the 500 characters limit that is imposed upon this mechanism which, by the way, is supposed to promote free speech, i shall shorten it to just two words basically describing what the hell this is all about and who this hell belongs to.

the singaporean gay vocabulary

i think Singaporean gay men should be grateful that their local gay clubs have names that can fit easily into everyday sentences. well, or at least sentences that make sense. and short sentences, just to mention. in fact, an old favourite one that i think every gay men should know is:

(when being given a suggestion, and you must say this in the most exasperated way that you can muster)
You reply: WHY NOT? You mean it's a TABOO to be HAPPY?

imagine those guys in Queer As Folk with their gay club names like Meathook and Babylon. how the fuck do you use words like that so non-chalantly without feeling a sense of guilt involving incorrect grammer?

come to think of it, it's kinda good in a sad way that Centro has closed down eons ago. how in the world one is supposed to fit Centro into a sentence is beyond my mental capabilities.

hrm. actuall i think the names of gay clubs in singapore are quite low-brow. like.. very simple language..like everyone knows Happy=Gay, Taboo=being gay. and so on. lol.

i actualy prefer the names from New York. :D

I can never figure out why a blog as popular and as well written as yours get so few comments! I promise to be a frequent commentator from now on!

Yours fabulously,
