        Boris, can we have a little more detail on why you can't iron? Don't own an iron? Had both hands amputated? Mother never taught you?

          My mother or anybody else never taught me how to iron - I figured it out on my own...but then again, I am a REAL homosexual!

            I'm a failure to my people!

            Gaaaaaaaaaaargh!
            I can iron, sew, AND macrame. As a straight man, does this mean I'm a failure to my people as well?

                All I know about polyester is that it makes me sweat like I've been pumping iron for an hour. Oh, maybe that's why it's popular again with the club set. I mean it's one thing to look butch, but if you can smell butch too? What would a club dance floor crowded with men wearing polyester smell like? Would anyone hire an interior decorator who had just come from such a dance floor?

                  Yes, the macrame screwed you......so to speak.

                  ACK!

                    Trade Secret: 5-8 minutes in the dryer on low heat or tumble dry. You won't get the crisp crease that you want in dress pants, but everything else comes out fine.

                          I believe my Irish component is responsible for the ironing.

                          Since it also seems responsible for the drinking, I hope the two responsibilities never meet.
                          I have 100% Irish parentage, on both sides. I am also a big gay queer, and teetotal.

                          I happily iron, even my partner's work shirts (although I draw the line at ironing underwear).

                          Ironing can be therapeutic- put some rosewater or orange blossom water in the water reservoir, breathe in the delicate perfume of freshly laundered and ironed clothes, preferably listening to some choice music on the Walkman or sound system- I find Grace Jones's 'Nightclubbing' or Bowie's rereleased 'Aladdin Sane' or Alberta Hunter's 'Amtrak Blues' make a great accompaniment.

                                I can iron, but I usually get other people to do it for me.

                                Boris, could we have your gay lifestyle membership card back please? And the free towel too.
                                Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.
