I am not old

I know that. I will be 36 come end of June. But compared to the other 7 folks I work with there is only one older than me and he's only older by 1.5 months.

Anyway, the "boys" were discussing the Wolverine movie that is opening tomorrow. They seemed surprised on my knowledge of the X-men universe and the like. Yes, I'm a girl. Yes i'm in my mid 30's. So what. I have always liked the the universe.

Then they get away from the actual wolverine thing and start talking about Hugh Jackman. And eventually the conversation drifts towards Mr. Jackman's orientation and the argument for him being gay is "he does all that musical theater". Huh?!?! Jerry Orbach did tons of musical theater, but they aren't accusing the Law and Order guy as being gay.

So I point out that last I heard Hugh was married and had at least one child. "That doesn't prove anything" was the reply. True but still.

So I told them that if they could arrange for Hugh to get here, I'd happily take him for a test drive and report back my findings.

Sometimes it is very fun to make the children snarf and do spit takes.

You can show them a pic of Himself "he does all that musical theater" and he is very very not gay. (perhaps one with a big stick we could find one)

Lucky Hugh. For that matter, you're only two years too old to be a kid of mine, and _I_ haven't grown up.

I'm going to be 40 in October and darnit, I'm STILL not grown up, either... and... if you wanna test drive him, I'd be more than happy to also help along with that test :)

I am willing to be in on the test too! He has lots of gay fans and he knows it.
