I was reading a feature on cnn.com on “Brokeback Mountain” jokes today which referrenced a Late Night top ten list…so I went to the LateNight site to find the whole list. The list itself wasn’t particularly funny—probably because there’re so many “Brokeback” jokes making the rounds these days–but what was funny were these other lists that turned up for the search term “gay”:

10. “Mm, mm, Gay!”

8. “None of the aftertaste, all of the gayness”

6. “Makes your 7 go up”
5. “Gayer than Fresca”
4. “In regular, diet or Siegfried”
3. “We’re Dr. Pepper’s longtime companion”
2. “Bottoms up!”

I’ve obviously got a thing about ariships. Maybe it’s because I hate flying on planes so much that I long for the days when one could travel by air in a civilized and comfortable fashion. Looks like if one wants to do any ariship travelling any time in the new future, joining the military is the best option:
