Saturday Story #3
Story #3, In which Doug goes to a gay picnic and gains insight into his own orientation.
Toss the salad to hear the story.
Grab the hot dog to read the story.
This story is cross-posted with the other stories from this site on Doug Drones On.
They keep getting funnier and funnier. When you're giving Steven Wright a run for his money on stage, I'll be in the audience drinking beer from a bottle.
Thanks, Actonbell. And thanks for the tip last night. That was hilarious and appropriate.
Sar, the thought of me and Steven Wright racing is funnier than anything I'll ever write or say on this site. I'm glad you like the direction these are going, but I don't do it alone. I have a funny fairy who helps.
Icy, glad you liked it and thanks for the pun. Tell Tom I say you deserve a biscuit.
Good story. I don't know if my currently closest friend-who-happens-to-be-gay-not-that-there's-anything-wrong-with-that grills, but he sure takes care of his car. I told him this was manly once, and he was indignant. But some gender traits are just deeper than sexual orientation.
Aral, for obvious reasons I really hoped you'd like this story. Thanks. I can't explain it, but I can feel my ancestors applauding when I make burgers. It obviously runs deeper than reproduction. The first purpose of men.
Almost all the straight men I know hate grilling. Does that mean that they've all been ignoring their bioligical imperatives,or are just lazy or just hate grilling?
Monika, there are many appetites. By the way, as you and a few others suggested, this is the first one I didn't write before hand. It's funny, I used a script in the first one because I wanted to respect people's time. Now that I'm not reading it, I seem to tell the story faster.
I meant to mention those were neat little icons you used, though your request for us to "grab the hot dog" is highly suspect and very questionable. I can only imagine what Bar of Soap's reaction was. ;)

ReplyDeleteDNA - The twisted fiber from which designer genes are made.
ReplyDeleteThat story was great! Love the twist at the end. You're really getting the hang of this thing.
Thanks, Actonbell. And thanks for the tip last night. That was hilarious and appropriate.

ReplyDeleteLOL
ReplyDeleteThat's a good one!
Yeah, what is it with men and barbeque?
Weirsdo, I obviously agree.

ultimately its the men who get grilled
ReplyDeleteDNA: Do Not Ask. Just eat.
ReplyDeleteThat was hilarious. But the link choices that lead to the story are priceless.
ReplyDeleteKarma, sooner more than later.
ReplyDeleteDddragon, that makes sense, especially if you're having chicken fries (!)
I'm glad you like them, Masil. Animation Factory is great.
You are one sick puppy, but a good one.

Signed confused
Yes, Doug the choices to either listen or read was good!
ReplyDeleteFreedom of choice....the real meaning!
And the story was also priceless as far as I am concerned! A good one!
And thanks so much for the birthday wish!
Pia, clearly these men have been through an exodus program.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Morningdew, I'm glad you liked it.
Now that was great and funny and also kinda smart! Maybe your DNA holds more than just food-related genes!!!

ReplyDeleteGreat story! You are getting better and better.
ReplyDeleteThose men who learned to make fire, lived to pass on their DNA. Now, men just enjoy playing with fire.
I LOVED this!
ReplyDeleteThe barbecue is definitely man's territory.
It's the hunter-conqueror thing, I guess.
We women just swoon and scarf down the steaks.
Sar, I don't think Little Bar of Soap even prays for me anymore.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tan Lucy. I always figured women discovered fire and men just came up with using on animals.
Jamie Dawn, I'm so glad. Me hamburger you Jane.
