Ricki Bowie Knives Tarr

I heard a rumor that there was a reality show in Demmark called something like Gay Army, where they took the gayest men they could find in Denmark, and basically put them through army boot camp and then they had to fight a fake battle against the real army in the finale.

Am I being tricked?

I'm not sure how they figured out which men were the gayest, but I'm interested to know.

@RickiTarr They have a gayometer. The device has a feedback with a high-pitched voice that plays a musical sample and lights up in rainbow colors when you hold it over something gayish (like guinea pigs, dolphins, pink shirts, ticklish mustaches or cocktails)

Okay but now I wonder:
Is it a GAY-o-meter?
Or a gay-OM-eter?

@RickiTarr Probably a bubble sort, given the laziness of the overall concept.

@RickiTarr I used to go to the pub with about 15 gay blokes in my days squatting in London. You knew who the gayest one was because he was the one everyone called Queenie. He was 6'4", built like an outhouse, and the most extravagantly gay man I've ever met 🤣

Seriously, did they have some kind a gay-off competition for contestants? I'm not sure how it is today but back in the 90s gay men were somenof the best fighters I knew. They had to deal with violent attacks and learned how to defend themselves. I used to hang out with a gay friend at a gay bar and saw straight dudes get their asses handed to them because they assumed, incorrectly, that gay men were weak and couldn't fight. I doubt TV boot camp would have been a challenge to them.

I guess they are treating gay and camp as the same thing.

Also I think people always underestimate how many gay people are already in the military.

You would think these Nazis would have learned from the lesson of Willem Arondeus, Dutch hero of the resistance to the original Nazis.

But I guess Nazis ban books instead of reading them.

@RickiTarr ever hear about Sparta?

Most macho army ever. So macho, that Spartan women dressed like boys to help their husbands get erections.
