Straight Guys -- How would the Queer Eye guys react to your abode?

[Armstead]

I saw the Queer Eye for the Straight Guy guys being intrviewed on Charlie shortly before I went to bed. It must have been something I ate, because I dreamed they invaded my house and put it on national televsion.A scary thought. They had a field day embarassing me on national television.

I guess I'm the classic straight guy who is oblivious to his surrenoundings. I've had a poster on the wall with one tack out of it curling over over my desk for about six months for example.

Anyway, it raised the question hopw the Queer Eye guys would handle you and your home? Actually, I guess the quesstion could also apply to women and messy queer guys too.

1. Carson would die if he saw my wardrobe

Seriously.

[waterman]

2. Not very well, I'm afraid.

[LastKnight]

3. i dont think they would be able to handle me... seriously.

ive never seen the show, but ive heard of what they do... i think they would walk in, take one look and all collectively have heart attacks simotaniously.

[Endangered Specie]

9. You might wanna rephrase that subject line there

:evilgrin:

[LastKnight]

28. dirty, dirty mind

im gonna leave it, just to make you uncomfortable.

-LK

[Carni]

4. Aren't you guys worried?

That they might be DU members?

(I wonder if DU would give up your personal info to the fab five based on your own admissions of severe fashion and home decor infractions LOL) :)

[Blue-Jay]

5. I don't think they'd like my futon.

Hell, *I* don't like my futon!

Also, I'd have to get the whole "don't use regular soap on your face" lecture.

[Armstead]

22. At least it isn't waterbed

That would really get the style police after you.

[MrSlayer]

6. Poorly. But who gives a fuck?

Fashion is bullshit.

[Endangered Specie]

8. Mmm, indeed I cant agree more

[Mountainman]

10. I agree, why can't they let people be themselves?

My wife likes all those shows like "what not to wear" Screw them do we all need to be in uniform? If so why not all get naked?

[Armstead]

23. Spoken like a true Straight Guy

[Endangered Specie]

7. Theyd probably shoot themselves

[Whitacre D_WI]

11. They may like my art collection.

And my record collection.

Ted would definitely like my cooking and my wine cellar.

They would burn all my clothes, though.

[POed_Ex_Repub]

12. Me wife threatens to submit my name to the show

:scared:

[KamaAina]

13. OmiGAWWWWWWD!!!!!!

I mean, like, it's one thing to still be living in the '80s, but dude, you are literally living in the '80s! How long since you took out a bag of trash, huh?

(a little jaunty techno music)

(opens fridge) Rotten, rotten, rotten, hmmm... packaged Portuguese sausage. This isn't really from Portugal, is it?

(more techno)

Let's see, Gap '92, Gap '93, 'Gap '94, ooh look, Outer Banks! That's right, your Mom still lives in New York, doesn't she? I'll bet she went to a street fair on Second Avenue and bought that for you!

(sheepishly) Actually, it was Third Avenue.

In short, this is what would happen if a malfunction at NBC Master Control caused Queer Eye to somehow merge with... Fear Factor!

[SeanQuinn]

14. Heh. It wouldn't be funny.

:(

[GOPBasher]

15. They'd shoot me!

I have nothing in my apartment here -- no furniture or anything. They'd have a hell of a time trying to get this place looking good.

[Kat45]

16. They'd scream in horror at my place--and I'm a woman.

LOL

[geniph]

17. I only want Thom

that guy is a f***ing genius!

Well, Ted can come over and fix us creme brulee anytime he likes, too. But Thom is the only one that invariably gets the "Oh my God, I don't believe it" reaction every time. He's a genius.

[GOPisEvil]

18. I'm with you there.

I dress myself OK, although a tip here and there would be appreciated.

But Thom can decorate my place any day. He has a real talent.

[SoCalDem]

19. They would have to don Haz-Mat suits.. and then they would faint

My house needs a makeover BADLY, but I am too embarrassed to even send in a request to those shows.. As long as no one catually SEES it, I can pretend that I live in a great place.:)

This place needed a makeover when we BOUGHT it 22 years ago..

:(

[kodi]

20. if they touched my velvet elvis, they would be dead

same goes if they touched any of my wall hangings.

[Donkeyboy75]

30. They might hate my velvet Bruce Lee more

than your velvet Elvis

[Slice]

21. They'd probably shoot me

I have no fashion sense at all, and my closet is still under the bed, same as it was in high school. Oh well.

[nemo137]

24. with horror

the one clear space in my room is a small rug. i mean, even my bed is covered with books.

[Rabrrrrrr]

25. Sadly, I'd do pretty well, overall methinks

They might not like the clutter of the library, but as an academic, that library is essential. :-) And while I don't have any "product" for my hair, I also don't have hair, so I don't think they'd care about that one. :-)

And they wouldn't like my living room rug, but the reason I like it is because *i don't care about it*, so when I, or someone else spills on it, I'm all like, "yeah, whatever, no worries". I believe in having a guest friendly place. :-)

When I finally saw the show last Christmas, I thought, "Ooh, man, I'd love to have them over - I could use $5K worth of new clothes and some nicer furniture", but then I realized they would never bother with my place, since I'm not a disaster.

And my artwork collection? No way they be complaining about that one. It's too good. And if they did, I have this hunting rifle collection . . .

[henslee]

26. They would think I was queer.

[NoPasaran]

27. I'd finally know

If spontaneous human combustion really happens

[Supply Side Jesus]

29. one word-Arson

They would burn my place down without a second thought.

[pagerbear]

31. Comedy Central has a new parody of this show

I can't remember the name of it. Straight men teach gay men how to act straight. Premieres next Monday night.

[Mobius]

32. Run screaming

:shrug:
