&lt;p&gt;I had read Dr. Ruebans book "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex".&amp;nbsp; Several times, back to forward, double meanings, sub-topix and even the Table of Contents. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Of particular interest was, Walking into the Gay Bar.&amp;nbsp; Lots of research there.&amp;nbsp; He stated, "when one walks into a gay bar, it will look just about like any other corner bar. Soft background music playing, men and women smoking and chatting and very normal.&amp;nbsp; One you settle in, you realize many persons sitting or standing are really men, dressed as women". &lt;/p&gt;Yikessssssssss! &amp;nbsp; I went running just to forget about that statement.&amp;nbsp; I was 26 at the time.&amp;nbsp; The book was used as fire starter for cook-outs.&lt;p&gt;Years went by, presidents and popes elected and I was still in a deep dank closet full of moth balls and books I read on Saturday nights, alone. SNL got pretty old.&amp;nbsp; My 33 birthday came around, me and the dog spilt german chocolate cake, from Kroeger, Happy Frackin Birthday. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; I decided, thats it, I am going to go, Frack It!&amp;nbsp; Did not have any pumps or yellow dresses, wigs or falsies, what will I wear? Sweating bullets! Decided finally on 501s, black tee shirt another shirt and hiking boots, yeh!&amp;nbsp; Took a stiff drink and went off the locals called the Cha Cha Palace.&amp;nbsp; It was late, took me 45 minutes to iorn the levis.&amp;nbsp; Paid the $2 and walked in, shaking, stood at the bar, ordered a Miller Lite, lit the wrong end of the cigarette and dumped the beer. Music was blaring "Macho Macho Man"! Yeh Right!&amp;nbsp; Dudes staring at me, through me, at me, UUUUUUGGGHH! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; Get me the frack outta here!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;o&lt;/p&gt;
