little. yellow. different. A weblog by Ernie Hsiung

conversations at this years gay pride parade

Conversation #1:

(Cut to a car full of gays passing by the rather infamous Becks Travel Lodge)
Brian:  Oh, look.  Beck’s Travel Lodge.  Or as I like to call it, “WHORES R US.”
Hugh, Brian’s partner:  Uhm, hon, didn’t we stay there for a weekend a while ago?
Jason:  Oooh, so maybe it should be called “WHORES R U.”
Ernie:  Ding!  Ten points.

Conversation #2:

Jason: Oh look, it’s the parade float from Wells Fargo.
Ernie:  Hey, that float looks familiar.  DUDE, THEY RECYCLED THAT FLOAT FROM THE CHINESE NEW YEARS PARADE!
Jason:  Shut up.
Ernie:  No, they totally did!  Those are the golden horses from the Year of the Horse!  All they did was add a giant inflatable rainbow at the end of it!
Brian:  They probably had a ten thousand dollar budget for the Chinese New Years parade, and, like, twelve dollars for gay pride.

My hope is that they march in the St. Patrick’s day parade with that same float, but they keep the gold horses, the inflatable rainbow and add little green shamrocked bowler hats to the horses heads.

(Oh, and an open apology if you were in the gay Google contingent and you heard booing somewhere around 7th and Market.  Most likely it was coming from me or one of my gay co-workers - we were trying to be catty, but honestly, we’re just jealous that Yahoo! didn’t march in the parade.

And a part of me was secretly hoping that one of you guys would turn around, throw up a Google gang-sign.  We would retort in kind, of course, and then we’d go into a dance-off like in the movie “You Got Served” or one of those West Side Story-like dance routines; CNN or Valleywag would pick up news of a fantastically gay nerd rumble, blood and pulled hair and pink feather boas and slide rules flying in the air.

If it’s any consolation, you guys are all young and pretty and probably date each other, while I have folks with Yahoo! IDs like xxx_lumberjack_4u asking me why his Yahoo! Mail doesn’t work.  That is all.)

I would pay big $$$ to have ringside seats at the G00gle vs. Yah00 Gay Geek Rumblethon.

And supposedly, the above has questionable content. I had to respell words a bunch. What’s up with that, Ernie?

I, too, would love to see a Yoohoo vs. Gurgle Gay Geek Grapplethon. Left Coast nerds are much more interesting than those here in DC. All we have are wonks, whom we cool kids don’t even bother to trip as they walk by.

Hey Man! Your style of supporting homosexuality is wat i liked above all. Otherwise the fucking Bush is totally opposing and making amendments on the same sex marriage these days……..and we call it a democratic country. Is’nt it funny?

Hahahahahaha love it.

LOL…Hey I was on that Gay Guuggle Marchers that day! ok…I just lied, but I would still love to see a dance off.

you should have seen the asians and friends at houston pride:

twenty bears running a golden dragon, and maybe six asians.

yahoo! was in the ‘96 pride parade as part of the promotion for the sfbay yahoo! site.

ahahah that is some good stuff man

Got a good laugh from it, thanks good

I wanna comment on succulent in its poultricide, but comment submission is showing some error, so………….

Great that you guys are having fun together, ENNNNNNNNJOY………and i m really excited to see the penthouse you were talking about. It sound interesting.Great

The way you have supported and shown the homosexuality I really liked it alot. When Sir Elton John can marry his friend then why I should think that much. I think these days more or less it’s acceptable!
