When you're in a bar and two people keep discussing whether the woman in the film on TV is "that Wizard of Oz girl." And "what's her name."

And internally you’re screaming “OF COURSE IT’S JUDY FUCKING GARLAND” but you don’t want to say that out loud, because taking a correcting people about Judy Garland could be awkward in a strang bar.

Are you suggesting Mr. Goats is a friend of Dorthy looking for other such friends? o_o

Walk to the bathroom and say it in a normal voice. Not at them, just out loud.

If you give them the direct answer you may get roped into their arguments of communication.

If that’s the heated debate at the local watering hole you’re in a good place!

I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess you’re not in a gay bar.

I’m not gay, but the rugby team I played on was and I’m pretty sure the needle would scratch off the record as the room fell silent with that kind of conversation going on

I don’t even know. I love this bar because it’s run by women, but I think a guy is trying to pick me up. And women are coming here to drink alone. I might actually be in a gay bar. Or an unofficially gay bar. I’m totally down with gay bars, I just don’t want anyone to waste their time on me.

It’d only be awkward if you’re REALLY upset and shouty about it.

Sounds like you might be in one then. The Judy Garland convo might just be people figuring out who is playing in which team. You don’t have to be gay to know who she is but if you are and you don’t, they take your card away and send your ass to Applebee’s.

I literally thought “these people are baiting me. No one doesn’t recognize Judy Garland.”

The gay community puts her on a massive pedestal, to put it lightly. She was one of the first celebrities to start embracing her gay fans and as such has become an icon.

All-gay rugby teams are also a thing.

I coached an all women’s rugby team while playing on a men’s league in Philadelphia about 20 years ago while I was college.

It was also pretty much an all-gay rugby team thing, back before it was a thing. Fun bunch of ladies. I’ve never had so many people anonymously grab my nuts while in a pile of people before or since. Good times.

I used to live in New York. No one in New York doesn’t hate Madonna. She put up fake “no parking” signs around her apartment. You pull that shit in New York and you get cut.

I don’t know Philadelphia Hospital. I know Pennsylvania Hospital down on 8th, because a girlfriend of mine was committed there.

My mom used to work in the ER at Cooper. I have second-hand stories. They’re fucked up.
