Yet again with the self-referential postings. Enough already.

@kjc9: #! being the shebang, Choire (Balk) still has a decent handle on his punctuation (consumption)

I just love the homey family scenes you guys share with us. I think Balk is infected now, though, so watch for more zucchini muffins.

"zucchini-banana muffins" is the most revolting thing i've ever read on this site. including that toilet-whatever's column.

In comp. sci. speak, the exclamation point is called bang, which would make Choire addicted to banging.

(In case people are wondering, it's things like this that cause the tech guys to laugh, and the rest of humanity to just shake their heads).

I just pray that Choire gets the help he needs, and doesn't become a &^%$#@! junkie.

If someone had taken a piss on stage or if all the boys pulled out their penises, I would have sworn it was a Craig Lucas play.

Love it. Although an "I'm so excited! I'm so excited! I'm so...scared!" reference would have been the icing on the cake. A "GET THE FUCK BACK IN YOUR ROOM" would have sufficed as well.

Choire, I look forward to Leslie Sloan-Zelnick's official statement on the situation.

Excessive use of exclamation points is a symptom of hyperthyroidism! I just made that up, but it sounds plausible!

And that's how it happened. Except it was actually about alcohol, and it was actually for BALK. The crying stuff is all true, though.

But what about the muffins? Sweet suffering Arden Wohl, please say the muffins are real.

And thank you for this Very Special Episode of Gawker.

This trip to Malibu sounds like the sickest vacation ever!!
btw Balk is to be commended for coming out of the closet with his crying disorder.

Streetcar Named Desire!

Choire: [leaving] "I have always depended on the kindness of strangers."

"Choire's last remarks in the play seem to echo pathetically his plight and predicament in life. He goes with the doctor because he seems to be a gentleman and because he is a stranger. Thus, Choire's life ends in the hands of the strange doctor. He was too delicate, too sensitive, too refined, and too beautiful to live in the realistic world."

Gawker w/o !!s is like a W.C. w/o T.P.

And either, w/o Balk, is an unsatisfying and potentially unsanitary experience.
