OT: R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe Comes Out Of The Closet

Postby Enigma869 » Wed Mar 19, 2008 10:43 am

I'm not much of an R.E.M. fan and don't even know much about the band, but thought some here might be fans.

I don't know anything about R.E.M. or their music, but my psychology professor from last year did admit to doing coke with Stipe back in the day.

I don't get it. Women are the most beautiful creatures on this planet. How one man can get excited over another one just doesn't register in my brain. It completely baffles me. On the other hand, I can completely understand why women want to be lesbians. That I get.

Tough to argue with any of that sentiment, Rick! I tell my wife every day that all women have some lesbian in them (or so I wish) :shock:

For once my freakin' gaydar actually worked. :D :D :D

It says a lot about these times that this is no big freakin' deal.

I was totally floored by George Michael, though. Damn! :)

You never heard "Losing My Religion"? :shock:

I'm not a fan by any stretch of the imagination, but I did know that song. The rest of their music sucks the big one, though.

I suspect most people have heard these two R.E.M. tracks, also:

I just remember in college it seemed that the biggest fans of REM were the girls that didn't appear to bathe or shave...

Dude, I just spit out a mouthful of Skittles. "Mike Stipe chews cock." Too funny.

Hahaha. Dude, homosexuality is innate, meaning people are born to be gay.

Want to see why dudes fuck dudes? Just for fun, go to Craigslist.org. Go to casual encounters. Do the Female searching for Male. You will see long, well written requests and desires. Then, go to the Men searching for Men link. You will see almost every fuckin post has a naked boner pic and a one sentence request. Something like, "Home now, come over, suck me off and leave." Too funny. Dudes don't play around. Pretty fucked up really.
