    There has to be a joke there somewhere, I just can't get it tidy enough.

    Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

              There was an open mic last night, nobody was really in a great mood. I'm not sure if others can verify, but at least in a major city like Chicago, there was a solemn mood pretty much everywhere. I, for one, think laughter is the best therapy.

                  That's not what you said. You may have intended for your statement to be taken that way, but the "you want a medal" comment is pretty much never meant as anything other than a snarky remark.

                        I'm not sure if "Ravel" is a male or female name, so I'm going to assume you are a man. You could not have picked a better profession short of being a football player. In all seriousness, I have several gay coworkers. It's not a big deal (at least 'round these parts).

                                I'm gay. Not a hugely interesting revelation, I freely confess, so I shan't go on about it.

                                      Thanks for that, it makes no difference to anyone here you know. But, firstly, I know it can be difficult to admit it at first, (I have gay and Lesbian friends who had terrible trouble admitting it), so well done. Secondly, unless people are living in the middle ages (or the 1950's or Croydon), it is of little matter. I am a Fat, Middle-aged, Conservative Man with a nasty drug habit (Smoke, Drink and Eat Cheese), it is who I am. Your sexuality is your own concern. Whatever, young dude, just be yourself and don't go screaming queen on us. (Even amongst my Gay friends, they dislike Screaming Queens). So long as whatever you do is legal, consensual and nobody is hurt, who gives a tinker's cuss?

                                      Haha, yeah, I have no intention of doing that. When I see them I feel a little anti-gay myself.

                                          I'll be mature here. Congrats, I recently came out to the Lounge as a struggling comedian, which I have learned, is often as difficult and awkward to tell people. Did you recently come out in your life, too? Or is this just a CP outing? I shared a room with a gay dorm-mate in college, who was closeted, he knew that I knew, but I could see it was not easy. Also, where is your italicized quote in your profile from?

                                          I've told a few people in real life. Nobody in my family, though.
