Unintentionally Funny Headline Over at Redstate About Tops and Bottoms
When we read Erik Erikson’s headline over at Redstate, “The Top’s Getting A Bailout and the Bottom’s Getting a Handout”, we thought this was going to be an article about Charlie Crist and Rahm Emanuel up to, well, something. Where “Handout” was a typo, and we had no idea what a “Bailout” was, but figured it involves Man’s Country, or at least a Friday night in the basement of Jackhammer.
Then we realized neither Crist nor Emanuel are Tops, so we had no idea what Erikson was talking about.
If you get the joke, you’ve been spending too much time with us here in Boystown. If you didn’t get it, you haven’t been reading us enough.
It’s like when Robby’s sister Ann-Louise puts “Watersports” on her resume under “Hobbies”, along with “Cooking”, “Wine Tasting”, “Volunteering”, and “Computers”. Why not just add “Clothing Optional Book Clubs” to that, too? Because we know she’s in one. Apparently, pants preclude full appreciation of Jane Austen.
The headline also reminds us of Brad Ellsworth’s Senate campaign website in Indiana, which uses the “Bear Pride” flag colors, though Ellsworth does not seem to be an actual Bear. He could, however be a Bear in secret, a sleeper Bear, but that’s as likely as him being an ursine, pic-a-nic basket stealing bear wearing a man suit. Maybe he’s that, too. Either way, he’s sure as heck not going to win Evan Bayh’s Senate seat.
We know Ellsworth is either a Sheriff, was a Sheriff, or guest-starred on the short-lived Suzanne Sommers syndicated comedy in the 80s, “She’s the Sheriff”.
And the Bear Flag colors are also the Sheriff’s colors.
Suzanne Sommers’ colors are pink and teal, because she’s a Spring.
But, still, the campaign’s web design choices are funny to us, because here in Boystown, it all has a second meaning, instantly recognizable to anyone on Halsted.
Just like it’s hilarious Ann-Louise says “Watersports”, when she means “Going on rich people’s boats and drinking their champagne and wearing a life jacket, and sometimes chasing dolphins with a Waverider”.
And it’s funny seeing “Top” and “Bottom” prominently featured on Redstate, where most likely Erikson had no idea how lendable they are to entendre.

I think I get the handout to the bottom part. But I truly don’t get the bailout to the top part.
You need to speak really slowly so people like me can understand these things.
Sounds like my tea party sign:
“Stop Rewarding Failure and Punishing Success”
Hey! That is good.
I do hope we cease to hear how “penetrating” O’s intelligence is …
Ya’ll just made me snort Dr. Pepper up my nose. Twice.
*snicker* you said top!
*snicker* you said bottom!
hmmmmm..no mention of versatile?
ROFL!!!
I originally heard it in a way that didn’t make me giggle. “Wall Street gets a bail-out, the poor get a hand-out and everyone else gets their wallets out.”
HAHAHAHAA….snort… haha
Until I took a trip with my gay hairdresser to Miami… I had no idea what top and bottom meant. He was glad to let me know on our 3 hour flight.
Oh and spiffy Brad Ellsworth is toast.. latest polls show him being ‘spanked’…(grrrr-ooowl) by every republican in the primary.
This may be of interest to those who wish to defend the republic. Perhaps a reading of all the material here and a post expoaining it.

I got it…LOL. The Media Research Center posted a funny Tea Party sign on FB…it said “I’m not a bigot but I play one on MSNBC”
Hahahaa
I’d settle for a reach-around. But then I DO spend too much time here! lol
BWAAHAHAA!
Dear oh dear.
Speaking of Rahm — he farted on air while talking to Charlie Rose — there has to be a photoshop picture commemorating the moment. . . .WARNING — do not have food or liquid in your mouth when viewing this ‘rumbling’ clip!!!

Oh, God. Too funny! Thanks, Boyz!
I’m sorry, but who exactly is Orange Crist getting the handout from? That boy is way too much the swish to be getting the bailout.
