Haven't been to the forums for awhile, so I thought I'd stop in. Haven't played Magic in awhile either, but hopefully I'll be correcting that soon. Anyway, just before I signed on tonight I had a thought for a possible future thread title for the Gaymers Clan (does anyone keep a list of those?).

Gaymers for Play.
I hope everyone had a happy holiday season.
I like it.
I just walked to the market, they have them near us every second Sunday. For 7 bucks, I got Lord of the Rings 1 on DVD, Lord of the Rings 2 on video, and some Pokemon cards I needed for my Blastoise deck >:]
EDIT: Screw the Blastoise deck, I found a Mothim deck online, and I modified it so I could build it cheaper and better. It's costing me 12 bucks from Troll and Toad, and it can do 110 damage on turn 1.
But, no one here cares about Pokemon, so I'm going to shut up now.
I love Mothim! Is i the Silver Wind Raging Scales mothim with free Retreat? I use that in my really bad grass deck cuz the burmy that evolves immediately is pretty useful. What's the list? I use him with Sceptile Wild Growth. The only other thing I do to abuse him is the Rainbow energy to make raging scales 70 damage for 2 without a silver wind boost. Silver wind is a really good force switch mechanism. Unles...you're talking about the mothim that gets better for the wormadams on the bench. Just like Speedrill and Nidoking/queen decks I haven't wrapped my brain around the bench dependant
Blastoise....blastcatty? My friend's been working on one for a while and then dismantled it and put it back together again tweaked a little. I had to convince him to take some cards out.
What do you think about Spiritomb? The one with the evolution attack I mean.
Oh and have you been using the expert belt at all? I had to learn when to play it but so far it's worked out for me as a reverse the situation kind of card (rather than a win more)

1) Yes, it is. The list I'm doing is this. It's basically a legal list with all of the trainers replaced with their broken counterparts:
4 Potion
4 Bill
4 Pokemon Breeder
3 Island Hermit
3 Computer Search
4 Professor Oak
4 Energy Search
3 Miasma Valley
Blastoise Deck: With Dig Well. Or are you using old school rain dance blastoise?
I am concerned you're using the potion though over Pokemon Center. Is there any reason? with only 12 pokemon in the deck I'd think it'd be difficult to get a good hand.
What is pokemon breeder in there for since it doesn't do anything in this deck?
And I like abusing the raging scales but it still costs 2 energy. How are you going to get the 110 damage on the first turn?
Expert Belt: It's a pokemon tool. It gives a pokemon +20 HP and its attacks deal 20 more damage. It lets your opponent take two prizes when the pokemon it's attached to dies.

Old school FTW

I didn't know about Pokemon Center. Ordering 4.

Unown P is the one that says "Once per turn you can put a damage counter on one of your pokemon".
I didn't think you needed pokemon breeder to evolve the burmy the first turn? It says "You can evolve burmy the turn you play it"
If you're concerned about it you could play three rare candy and three pokemon breeder cuz it's the same card different names.
Island hermit is....pretty bad. I mean you get to see two prizes but I think there are better draw two supporter cards (since you can only play one per turn)
Including "Buck's Training" which says draw two cards and your pokemon deals 10 more damage this turn. Professor Oak's Visit says "draw three and put one card from your hand on the bottom of your deck" which I think adds more versatility to the hum drum 2 card draw supporter than we've really ever seen before in pokemon. Volkner's Philosophy can be really amazing if you've emptied your hand or gotten down to say 4 or 3 cards. Underground Expedition lets you look at the bottom four cards so there's a little bit of an option there but I don't prefer that card. There's one more I think that I really like...but sadly I don't even remember which set it's in so I have no clue if I'm remembering it correctly. It says Draw 2 cards and choose a card in your opponent's hand at random and have them shuffle it into their deck.
So last night I learned that just because a guy flirts with you all night, dances with you, kisses you, and grinds his rock-hard manhood on you, doesn't mean he's going to leave the bar with you.
Twas not a good moment for my self-esteem.

So, somewhat related, I want to update you on my friend wanting to seduce a straight guy. I don't want to give the whole story, but it seems that his question is less "how do I turn a straight guy gay?", and more "If I strongly suspect a guy is gay/bi, but extremely closeted, how do I convince him to come out?"
My friend, "Shawn" met "Eric" at a cast party for a play that Shawn was not involved in, but his roomate and Eric were. They hung out that night, got along really well. Shawn looked him up on face book, basically asked him on a date without actually using the word date, and Eric said yes. He tried to ask questions that might shed light, but to no avail. Finally, instead of continuing to dance around the issue, Shawn just came out and said he was gay, wasn't sure if Eric was, and just wanted to clear the air to avoid a potentially awkward situation down the road. Eric said he was definitely straight, but had been "accused" of being gay many times (theatre person, comes with the territory).
The problem, acording to Shawn, is that they've hung out several times since, and he keeps getting signals that one could interpret as Eric being gay. He's trying to brush them off, attribute them to his theatricality (and maybe a bit of Shawn's imagination wanting Eric to be gay), but he just can't shake the feeling. However, he's like me in that his Gaydar is pretty faulty, so there's also that.
I guess any advice you guys can give me to pass along would be cool.
Howler, the only answer I can think of to "how to get the closeted guy to come out?" is simply to continue being his friend, give him opportunities to be comfortable in gay-friendly environments, and just be there to encourage him at his own pace. I'm certainly not an expert in this stuff, but I suspect that any sort of scheme to make him accept his potential gayness isn't going to end well.

Yeah and don't offer him any blow jobs...especially if he knows you're gay.
He's married with a kid I don't think he'll be offering any of the gay ambrosia. Besides it's about his friend not him.
Gay people don't want to come out if they don't like attention, if they're not ready, if they aren't sure yet, if there's a religious, societal, or familial reason not to come out. There could be any number of reasons why this person won't come out of the closet. Assuming they are gay and closeted. It's not really anyone's business and it's not anyone else's job to convince them to come out. All you can do is make sure they understand you're comfortable with that lifestyle, never judge it, never give it special treatment, treat gayness as something normal because it IS normal. Create a bond of trust. Tell the person something very deeply personal but where necessary so it doesn't seem like you're trying to get them to admit something personal.
They may not even be gay. They may not like you. they may not know what's bothering them. They may not know they're gay. Either way it's their personal life and forcing them out of the closet seems like it's only for selfish reasons. Evaluate why this person wants to get the other out of the closet. Remind them that it's not their life and that they are not the same as the subject of their inquiry so they need to separate themselves from the situation and understand the person before they can determine what to do next.

Wow... don't take offense, Blue, but I wouldn't have excpected such profound advice from you. I'll be sure to pass your words of wisdom along.
BTW speaking of deep. Why haven't we had a Hot Guy of the Week in a long time? I mean. Guh! Guys won't ogle themselves you know.
Good call again. That's my traditional spark discussion/lighten the mood tactic. I guess I just haven't found anyone new to pine over lately. (Hmmmm... was that choice of words a message from my subconcious? Shall it be Chris Pine?)

Good Call on that. We could request a montage from Mikey and a "Guys of Star Trek" but Chris Pine is kinda the only one I like. I need to get that movie on BD now that I think about it.
What?! how can you not like a lady when "Gag" is a part of her name!? I understand though. I love Lady Gaga but I know she's not for everyone. Hmm we seem to be defining gay "Taboos" as "gay anti-stereotypes"...just so long as you don't like women lol. (well you can no one is stopping you but it's def a gay taboo hehe)

that was also a joke. why is everyone here so SOMBER? have a few of those pink cosmos on the first page.
Homosexuality is SERIOUS BUSINESS.
Gay Ambrosia was a joke too :-P
