Last Saturday, during the triple birthday bash of
Migs,
Gibbs and
AJ, I was enjoying a drink when
Joel and AJ suddenly went up to me and said something like "We need the Tony Treatment!" Not having drank a little throughout the night, I think my response was "Hurrr!?!"
"That straight guy? No one thinks he is straight...besides he passed the
raspberry test.", Joel continued.
"Teh! We need your powers here.", AJ went on while doing some hand gestures that would imply that I could do some arcane ritual that will make the boy turn.
I think my answer went something like "Pffft."
The night continued on with drink in hand, then I suddenly hear an almost inaudible clap. I look up to see AJ smiling widely and giving me a clap with a bow. Then it hit me. I have actually been talking, for a prolonged period of time, with the straight guy.
I have no delusions of grandeur. Mostly, on my part, it is just fun and games and fantasies (cute straight guy becomes curious just for a night) playing out.... but is there a formula here somewhere? Is there really a way to make a straight guy, curious?
Another drink and we both leave the room to get a cig.
He leaves and I come back to the party.
CC comes up to me and says "So I hear they call you Darth Vader now, have you turned him to the dark side of the force?"
Well if there was some way to do it, and if this Tony treatment is real.... I would have to say that it is a god-given talent. >;P
