Build-A-Bear Workshop is a dirty, rotten tease @ Amazon today
GayBear22 | 1:15 PM on 03.03.2008 23 comments




I have to admit that I got a little excited when I saw the deal this morning. I thought, "finally, someone made a game for ME!" Unfortunately, unlike my Friday nights at Misty's, I'm left feeling empty and alone. I was so hoping to create a fabulous bear of my own in the "leather daddy" style, but someone's frowning on ole' GayBear today. *sigh*



*sigh*


Wouldn't it be utterly fantastic to to make your own big, studly bear, though? Oh, I have so many delicious ideas running around in my head. You could dress them up as your favorite member of the Village People. Oh, I get weak in the knees just thinking about having my very own Freddie Wilson. Someday, GayBear...someday. It's not all bad though, I suppose. I could spend the money on those super cute, new underpants I saw on the internet. Oh oh oh, I've gotta go, everyone.

The end of an era that ended 2 years ago...
GayBear22 | 12:46 PM on 02.07.2008 45 comments


Although at a certain point, I had to suspend my fantasy of being a scoop writer for TMZ, I can still blog my feelings over this matter.

As I sit here on this cold Montana morn, I weep for the loss of one of the great ones.

I realized this morning that it's been nearly two years since her death, but we're still haunted by her presence, feeling the effects of her music on our lives and raves.

RIP Hot Britney Spears


The day the music died, as did the fanboi in my heart.

A Eulogy.

I would like to start out this morning by starting back in 1993.



Miss Spears got her start on the Mickey Mouse Club on the Disney Channel.
After a 2 year stint working for cable TV, she picked up a solo music career getting some notice for being a jailbait spank fantasy for the straights.



And then it happened, everywhere. We were surrounded by images of a girl next door that EVERYONE wanted, wanted to be with, or wanted to play a video game based on her impressive ability to remember choreography.



Miss Britney hit the scene. She was Barbara, Cher, and Liza all in one.







We learned of her torrid non-affair with BFF "Boifriend" Justin Timberlake.









shudder

...

Oh, sorry, got sidetracked.

Right.

Uh, Britney was attached to Justin, seemingly out of convenience. But poor Justin managed to get away from her several years later and I cried that day. I lost my idol and her boifriend that day. It was very sad and quiet in my home that night.
Thankfully Justin immediately started going out with pseudo-man Cameron Diaz, so I held out hope of Justin and Gaybear becoming an item someday. I would open any Xmas present Justin would give me by the way.



Okay, I swear, no more justin stuff. I'll save that for later.


Anyhoo... Britney released a follow up album to her debut which pushed her career to new heights.



In 2003, she shared a fantasy kiss that every straight guy visualized in their head for weeks afterwards.


Britney shares a moment with someone's GILF

She fumbled a bit with Toxic, and decided to retire from music. Frankly at that point she'd earned it. She'd toured and recorded almost non-stop for 4 years, it had taken it's toll on her.

Almost hauntingly, she was quoted from this time frame to say about herself, "I'd be happy if someday I was fat with 3 kids in a trailer park." Obviously she wasn't far from the mark in predicting her own future.

In 2004, she was married for a brief 24 hour period to a guy she knew from her childhood. I wonder how this guy managed to stay friends with her this long. That breakup must've been awkward...

Britney: Look, you don't do cocaine and stay up for 36 hours at a time like me, this isn't going to work out...
Soon-to-be-EX: Can we at least screw?

After this ended she wound up in the arms of one of her dancers from her Toxic tour. Mr. Federline was in the middle of a custody battle with an unborn baby from an ex at the time. I was screaming at my issues of US Weekly.

"NO! BRITNEY DON'T!"

It was emo.

And in 2005, the babies started to rain. Britney started to fulfill her prophecy as a breeder. It got worse from there.

There were the car rides with Preston.



Teaching Preston about being nude and smoking.



Britney looks for convenient ways to dispatch of the baby...



Britney starts to want to show us her assets, despite years of teasing the straight guys.



Britney decides to start giving "it" away to anyone that'll look at it.



And finally, the point where I snapped out of my Haggen-Daz coma to realize that she'd been dead for a year or more...



This was so distressing, that I immediately phoned my friend, Chris, and told him that there was going to be some MASSIVE fallout from this.

He didn't take it so well.



I'm so upset at hearing her recent news that she's on a suicide watch, but for us Superfans, it's just a slow spiral to the bottom.

I'd like to think that 20 years from now, she'll be strong enough to have pushed past all this and she'll be a successful media personality, happy with her 2 kids, and married to Justin.



Rest in Peace, Hot Britney, Rest in Peace.

October 11th is National Coming Out Day! GayBear's Cereal Announcement! (REPOST)
GayBear22 | 3:24 PM on 10.11.2007 17 comments


HAI EVERYBOOTY!

Okay, so super cerealness time. October 11th is National Coming Out Day. It's a day revered around the world as a day for gay people to confront their personal problems and issues and lay it all out on the line for the people that are not aware of the real situation.

So, in this way, National Coming Out day empowers those with deeply personal secrets to let them loose and help make the lives of those keeping these "dark secrets" a lot easier.


Well, I have a bit of a confession to make to you all...

October 11th is National Coming Out Day! GayBear's Cereal Announcement!
GayBear22 | 10:53 PM on 10.10.2007 78 comments


[Disclaimer: Hey, everyone. Its electro lemon here. As the CBM's newest memeber I felt it was my duty to tell you; We are in ABSOLUTELY NO MEANS homophobic. As a matter of fact, the person at the helm of "Operation GayBear22" was indeed gay themselves. I, for one, love gay people, and would love to have a LAN party with Richard Simmons & Elton John if given the chance. This also was not our way of making fun of gay people. There's nothing to make fun of. We simply tried to make a male character as feminine as possible, as a joke, not as an insult to gay people. If we offended anyone, I sincerely apologize on behalf of the CBM. Also, please remove that stick from up your ass, and put it back on the tree you were born from. BAI!]

I'm the Community Blog Mafia. All of us. To explain, bhive has the origin story of GayBear22.



bhive01


GayBear22: Origins

One day in the Community Emailer Chris Furniss sent a link to a Thinkin' Lincoln comic which mocked three major gaming blogs: Destructoid (Killotron), Kotaku (Sounds Japanese), and Joystick (did I say major?).





For some reason I (bhive01) felt I had to create this GayBear22 and leave a similar comment somewhere on Dtoid. As a short-term joke, Gaybear22 would be an inside joke that only those who paid attention to the community emailer would get (and some of you did). I then introduced Gaybear to the Community Blog Mafia (CBM) who took Gaybear22 and turned him into an unstoppable "gay machine." Gaybear stayed alive and strong and let Destructoid members know all about gay-ming in a totally flaming way.


DVDdesign wrote the following about GayBear's "actual upbringing and consequent gay lifestyle

GayBear22 was born in a coal mine, down a dark deep shaft that predicated his future lifestyle. Having grown up around burly miners and cowboys, you'd think GayBear would've been headed for a life of similar means. But when GayBear was 11, he went to New York City... Pizza and Deli, a local pizza shop on Main street. It was there that he had his first experience with the thing that would most captivate him in his later years. GayBear had his first kosher pickle. He was captivated by it. So much so that he took a full 3 days to eat the pickle and cried the whole time at the tragedy of eating such an iconic totem. From that moment forward, he hoarded every pickle he saw. On his 15th birthday, he went out with his friends to the local gas station/bar and noticed something scrawled on the wall of the men's room. "For a good time call Butch" with a phone number listed below. GayBear thought to himself, "If this isn't a good time here with my friends, talking about vagina and how awesome it is, what am I missing out on?" GayBear quickly scribbled the number down and went back to the party.

GayBear lost his virginity to Mandy at 19. It was unpleasant. Mandy describes it as, "He spent the 30 minutes afterward crying like a girl, screaming the whole time. I thought he'd hurt himself or something, cause he kept saying, "What's wrong with me?! What's wrong with me?!"




Mandy

Shortly after they broke up, GayBear began digging around his bedroom, trying to find a mixtape that wasn't about Mandy when he discovered the scribbled phone number for Butch. Thinking of how low his life had been at that point, and how much fun Butch seemed to offer, he dialed the number. GayBear met Butch that next day for a game of pool at the local gas station. 3 hours later they were in the mens room, where GayBear discovered what the hole in the mens room stall was meant for.

From that day forth, GayBear swore off of womyn (as he puts it, "Women have something to do with men, and I only want men in my life from here on out, so henceforth, they're all a bunch of womyn to me.") and has remained faithful to his fickle pickle's needs ever since.

DJDuffy and DVDdesign set about convincing bhive to run with this character and "make him real". Quick hasty posts were soon made to "gay him up" to a degree, and the results fell overboard. As a result, rules were established to keep the GayBear22 secret amongst the CBM and select Dtoid staffers. Yes, Dtoid has known who GayBear is this whole time.

CBM had established some pretty extensive rules or guidelines, none of which are important to you right now. We did try to go to great lengths and detail to get it just right.

A lot of effort went behind the spoof. We tried as hard as we could to keep GayBear's real identity a secret, but there were leaks from within the CBM. We are a little above naming names on revealing who the leak was, but you know who you are, and we're disappointed you did so, but at least the people you told were wise enough to keep quiet about the secret. We thank you guys for keeping a lid on it.



GayBear's original avatar was created by bhive.

GayBear's blog header was created by DVDdesign.

GayBear's side photograph was found by DJ Duffy.

GayBear's first post was by bhive.

GayBear's subsequent posts were made by: DJ Duffy, DVDdesign, BahamutZero, -D-, bhive01, Snaileb, and ElectroLemon.



Most of the GayBear photoshops were done by either DVDdesign or BahamutZero.







DVDdesign was the voice of GayBear22 on XBL.

Well, that's about it from this drama queen. I hope you bois all had a great time picking on me. We apologize to any men or women who are of the alternative lifestyle who may have been offended by any GayBear22 posts. We hope you were able to see through the over-sexualized jokes and pictures for the silliness that was GayBear22.



Good Night and Godspeed...
