Subscribe to Breaking NewsWithers: Ten random thoughts
1. Miss you already Maude. RIP.
2. Is 45 too old to make out in a car?
3. Any couples in Iowa walking down the aisle today? Let us know. Send a picture. Congrats.
4. Why was some child staring at me on Saturday morning? I was on line getting my coffee and this little rug-rat kept looking the whole time. Wanted to beat him down.
5. Jazz great Louis Armstrong never had a gay affair, but I’m going to write about his new biography when it comes out. Be prepared to get angry about having to read a post that is not gay news related. The horror! The horror!
6. A lousy economy and now swine flu. No need to get out of bed.
7. Not seen a movie in months, but there is nothing playing that perks the interest.
8. My life was better when brain space was not wasted on Perez Hilton and Carrie Prejean.
9. Cherry pie? Don’t even ask.
10. I’m late for work.
Pete,
Two reasons. 1) As far as I know there is no new biography about Strayhorn in the near future, and 2) I’ve written on that topic already:

Re: #5 why not William Thomas Strayhorn and his relationship with Ellington?
2) One can NEVER be too old to make out with someone in a car.
4) I hate it when little kids stare at me too. I know their just being curious with their wide-eyed looks, but I can’t help but wonder if those little kiddos aren’t thinking something thoroughly adolescent and cruel.
6) I agree!
I remember we took a field trip from my privileged white junior high school to the Watts Towers in the 60’s. I was fixated on the handsome black man who was our docent. He noticed me staring and came over and said, “I know you’re staring because you’ve rarely seen a black person.” I just kept mum, but I think it would have blown his mind if I had truthfully responded, “No, I’m staring cause I think you are super hot!”
I agree with Interested – You’re never too old to make out in a car.
Making out in a car: If you’re 45 and hetero, the cop will loook away. If you’re 45 and homo, expect to be arrested for public indecency!
You’re never too old to make out in a car.
Depending of course on where the car was parked. It was parked wasn’t it? Safety first.
Montrealbren,
I’m a fan of peach cobbler. The first season of Maude is on dvd. Go to imdb.com. And I’m sure about Armstrong. He loved the ladies.
Sincerely,
James
Mr. Withers:
1. Yes, we’re sad about Maude. I heard a rumor that Bea Arthur blocked reruns of Maude. I’ve never been able to find episodes online or at the video store. Would you use your powers to find out if Ms. Arthur’s demise will change this bizarre act of censorship?
2. 45 is definitely too old to make out in a car. Unless you’re living in it.
3. Yes, flood the net with photos of Iowans marrying.
4. The kid thought you were either gay or black. Kids are insane.
5. Are you sure that L. Armstrong didn’t have a gay affair?
6. Swine-bird-SARS-human flu is not an excuse.
7. There are only about 6 films made per year that are worth watching. Worldwide.
8. Let go of Perez and Prejean. They’re both odiously overrated.
9. Peach cobbler or red velvet cake.
10. You’ve got a job?
Best regards,
Montrealbren
