What, do you want to be a princess?

You could be the Tigger Queen.

[Craig-Abcvs 1,595]

Tiger Queen... hmm... not sure...

And for the record... yes I have worn pink shirts with white pants...

In the 80's.

*Reminisces about huge aviator style glasses... wait.... I was still wearing those in the 90's...

[Boggy1 45]

No abcvs, no. You're the medical technician locked away in the basement of a hospital, remember?

[Duke of York 23]

Just something I noticed..all those lovely Santa hats on our avatars pretty much fit PERFECTLY with our actual avatars.

[fukuda 351]

Hey... You're right!

[astronelson 339]

Kinda evil on mine...

[Chptrk 86]

*Ignores Astro's because of reasons he knows why* 

I think what Boggy meant to say is that the hats fit PURRFECTLY on us.

[Deathtoall 28]

A santa hat on a cheesecake? I beg to differ!

It might have worked if mine was rotated slightly but the new ones are even more of a hit and miss.

Okay, since we're now clearly working on attempting to say the lamest thing ever said in the history of the universe, how about this:

Heard about the Tour de France winner who likes both men and women?  He's a bi cyclist.  

...

...

...

Nope.  Chptrk wins.  I don't see how saying "purrfectly" isn't punishable by execution...

I am one of apparently many queer simtropolitans- in this case just a gay white guy, but that still counts as queer. So, am I crazy for thinking we seem to be way overrepresented in this particular area of interest? I don't always fit in so well with my fellow gays, and I am in a conservative region because I couln't say no to the college savings, so as it happens the vast majority of my friends and acquaintances are straight. But I only know two other Simcity enthusiasts in real life, and they are both gay (a gay grad student I dated for a while and a lesbian). And for this forum, on which there are less than 500 sociable participants (using normal out percentages, only about 10 people would be openly queer), to sustain a lively thread about being queer is to me another indication that there are more of us than usual who get a kick out of city and regional planning. And I think that's weird. Unlike, say, flight attending for gay men or soldiering for lesbians, stereotypes aren't present to drive the impression that playing with city-building toys is a good way to meet comrades in deviance. For these reasons I suspect that there's something about government-gaming that attracts the LGBTs- or at least the LGBs, as there are rarely enough Ts to make reliable assumptions.

If you think the above was nuts, don't even bother to read the below, because it's considerably more nuts.

I'm starting to think that my love of order, government-gaming, elegant mass transit, economic relationships, etc. somehow grew concurrently with and was predictive of my homosexuality. My first city-gaming toy at about five was a Thomas the Tank Engine miniatures set now discontinued because it was a marvelous choking hazard. I loved that thing. By nine, my favorite play activity was building giant airports, using every vaguely airport-themed toy I owned. My dad even made me a very nice runway on a large cardboard folding mat, complete with blinking lights. At that time, I was just as oblivious to the fact that my passion was highly unusual as I was to the first hints of liking boys. When I was eleven, someone I recognized even then as a fellow homo moved in down the street. We played intense all-day games of brio, carefully planning our tracks, bickering about the proper time of day for ships to arrive at the seaport, and forging a tight emotional bond. Blocks, Tinker Toys, Lincoln Logs, K-NEX, Erector, all were put to work in the name of my determination to build cities and model some imagined concept of the civilized world. Simcity came into my life at about the same moment I realized I was gay.

For some reason, I feel a strong (deluded?) kinship with what I believe are other gays like me- clergy, eunuchs, elegant courtiers, effeminate advisers, household masters and mistresses orchestrating royal scandals, philosophers, artists, and statespeople, throughout history standing behind the kings, empresses, and generals, influencing the course of history by means of extreme social sensitivity emanating from deep inside us.

[Zelgadis 638]

I don't think it's nuts.  

Better explanation than anything else I've heard.
