Our dear ], never a stranger to controversy, recently decided to delve into the ] of the ], and what did he discover? King James had more than appreciative eyes for ] Naturally, Haiduc felt the need to share this news with the community, but instead of being praised for his scholarship, he was reviled. In fact, one rabid heterocentrist even rummaged around in his own wardrobe until he found an old pair of ] to play with. All seemed lost until astute editor ] noticed some odd postings and did some sleuthing of his own. The socks were uncovered, the ] was ] and readers the world over were able to learn that Good King James regularly ordered tube steak from the menu of the day. Thank you, Haiduc! Thank you, Jeff! And let Miss Julie add (for readers who ]) that ] tastes just like ]! |

Well, maybe it's not Miss Thang, herself, but it's the next best thing: ]! he stirs up just about as much controversy as his idol does, even here on Misplaced Pages. Though it's all a bit of a muddle, one of our editors hopes you can drop by the talk page and leave a message of hope for those battling the forces of obstructionism in that little corner of the Wiki World. It is so hard to spread enlightenment. As ] herself said, "You can lead a whore to culture, but you can't make her think". |

Wallowing in cash from the latest , the powers-that-be have decided to sponser a little contest here to improve the articles, with a Grand prize of $100. Yeah. Just enough for a ] dinner for the family. Still, the thought is nice and the goal is noble, so we should support it. Our little Queer beehive has taken a look at what's on offer, and both the ] and ] are well represented. The ever useful ] has made a little list, which can be found ] (if that malignant bot hasn't archived it already, that is). So find a pal, roll up your sleeves and dive right in. Let's show this Encyclopedia just what Queers with firecrackers up their....err, I mean, let's show the others what we can do. |

I can't pronounce his name, but he's awfully cute, he's deliciously foreign, and best of all...he's '''''GAY!''''' But he won't be for long, if ] have their way. A concerted effort has been under way for a while now, designed to neuter poor Jon (pretend I put a little accent thingy over that O) and make him into a sort of rockin' ]. So please watchlist this hunka man, and '''''keep him queer'''''! If anybody questions you, tell them "Miss Julie sent me". |

<b id="news_sequel">Everybody loves a sequel</b><br> |
|

Readers not afflicted with ] will remember that last month we had a little story about ]. That proved so popular that we bring you the sequel: ] and his stalker. After a chance meeting at the ], this anonymous user took a shine to our Benjiboi, and has been showering him with attention on virtually every board on Misplaced Pages. Flattered though he is, Benjiboi finds the attention a bit distracting, and administrators have been seeking various remedies for this. It has proven difficult, as the stalker has an IP address that changes quicker than ] in a telephone booth. So perhaps some of you would like to watchlist Benjiboi's page, and lend a hand if you see some love letters from an 11 digit friend. I was actually thinking we should get Alice's harasser and Benjiboi's stalker together. Then we could have another sequel, sort of like ]. Any bets as to who would win?? |

Let me be the first to give a warm, wet, Love Boat kiss (though not with tongue) to our newest Project members: ], ], ], ] and ]. Even in the month of our Saviour's birth, your popping into our Wikipedian lives is a blessed event indeed. As Jesus Himself said, ] He did say that, didn't he? I think he said it. In any event, if he was standing next to me now, I'm sure he'd say it, and add, "Happy homo editing!" |

Indomitable ] is holding her own in Misplaced Pages's answer to ]: ] For four feverish weeks, she has mastered the challenges and not been eliminated from the competition. Drop by the FAC page and show Ann you love her....or give her the hook (I'm not supposed to tell you how to vote). Giving our plucky Ann reason to hope is the recent promotion of ]. If Miss Julie has her way, we will have the entire alphabet of Queerdom Featured here on Misplaced Pages soon! And I would be remiss if I did not give a warm, Lesbian salute to our own ], who showed Misplaced Pages with ] that even ] are no protection from the Love that dare not speak its name, and got a ] for her efforts. |

Climbing the Misplaced Pages career ladder is ], who has not only written, but is now promoting ] to ]. Best of luck, Tim, and remember: there are no small parts, only small actors.

Yes, I know: packages need buying, trees need trimming, egg nog needs drinking. The holidays make many demands on our time. It's ...well, it's a bitch, is what it is. So I wouldn't blame you for skipping this little section and putting off my request until next year. But...think of the children. Our future. They need quality information about the homosexual "lifestyle" if we are to ]. That's why I am asking you to drop by ] and give your meaning as to the efforts of your fellow gay Wikipedians. And think: in this season of kindness and good will to all, isn't it nice that I am pointing you to someplace where you can (in a Wikiloving way, of course) rip someone a new asshole? Think about it...and those children with their shiny, bright eyes, thanking you for contributing to their future. |

Even more festively, consider joining in on the ] of our favorite articles. Here you can bandy about such words as "homophobia", "Right-wing Christian agenda" and my personal favorite, "just who do you think you're pushing around?!?!?".

] asked me to ask you to edit ] as part of the Collaboration Project. She's an old dead poet (Miss Bishop, not Tovojolo. I've never actually met Tovojolo. She's probably very young and attractive. Maybe somebody should ask if she's single), but she was a flaming homosexual long before most of us had even been conceived, so we owe her some respect. Tovojolo actually asked me for the last newsletter, but Miss Julie forgot. Bad Miss Julie. She was so busy boosting morale it just slipped right by her. ], maybe you need to ] again to get Julie back in line. |

] has attracted the attention of a group of....the more senior elements of our gay society. They disagree with our thesis that ] was the possible source of the term, and demand we change the article to reflect their contention that ] was the origin. The problem is, their source didn't check out. So we agreed to disagree. Well, we at the project did. They got kinda mad at us, said unkind things, and started edit warring. Though they are old, they are certainly quick, and could revert the article faster than my nimble fingers could press the undo button. To quote the divine Miss Parker, every time I saw the article on my watchlist, I thought to myself, ''"What fresh hell is this?"''. The page was protected by sympathetic administrators, but keeping an eye on it will keep Dorothy safe from ] |
