Camp itself isn't a form of wit. It's what you do with your camp, honey ...
Like pitching a tent?
-
A tent in your pants.

And I expect I'm not the only one wishing Ron Mark and Pita Sharples would both STFU and stop politicking until there are a few more facts to discuss.
Personally, I was just itching for Ron Mark to suggest what he usually does in these situations, i.e. that Tame Iti and his alleged camouflaged companions should be put through Compulsory Military Training... heh.
And look, without wanting my comment to be subjected to the same word. by. word. analysis as Ben's above, I think I know what he's getting at. There are some gay men who are constantly, needlessly OTT camp and who never have anything but their 'bitch on'. Personally I find them annoying, in much the same way as I find some drama students annoying. What particularly annoys me about some of the aforementioned OTT camp gay men is that they assume they are better/more stylish/more interesting/more whatever than me because they are gay and not a 'breeder'. This is not true, they are simply more gay. And I know this to be true because I've spoken to other gay friends about it and they agree with me... ;)
There's probably a loophole in what I've said that can be opened up and used to expose me as a bigoted homophobe... do your worst...
Oh, I also find transvestites making a show out of miming the words to diva disco songs banal and redundant. There, I said it.

re amy winehouse, tell me all about it, she's great.
Give me a break. 20 seconds of Amy Winehouse was more than enough for me.
-
And naturally (in the manner of Friday afternoons) a Peaches reference becomes necessary.
"the tent's so big in your pants, baby
i'm gonna bring my friends for a dance, baby" -

Not even Amy Winehouse likes her debut album, so that's not a good place for anyone to start. You need to go to Rehab.

What's far more likely is I will have to restrain myself from making smutty double entendre......the tide has turned from crotchety to,well, see above.

So, on Rehab she sounds less like a liquored-up Fran Drescher, and more like a bee, but still... blegh.
The lyrics aren't really any better, either.

I don't like eggs, or when the bottoms of my jeans get wet in the rain, and it makes me sad when eggplants are really expensive. What I DO like is threadless hoodies with unicorns on them.

Squee Kowhai, I'm disgusted with myself for not thinking of the dirty myself.

Anyone -- gay, straight, camp, not -- being overly FABulous tends to annoy the piss out of me, so I know what you mean.
But until shown proof I'm not prepared to accept that a significantly higher proportion of gay men than straight have obnoxious personalities.

I don't like eggs
SNAP! I *hate* eggs. Chickens' periods. And more importantly, I just don't like the taste.
I think I was just trying to say "I know what you're saying Ben, it's okay, I understand, you may be prone to generalisations but that doesn't make you a homophobe. I think.
Other things I hate? When you're halfway through a sentence and someone tries to complete it for you, and gets it totally wrong.
Like so:
"I've decided to on holiday to..."
"Fiji?"
"No, to..."
"The Coromandel?"
FFS!
Um, did I say "guess what?" No, I didn't. And it's not like I don't talk fast enough. I talk plenty fast. And it seems to be happening more and more. Either my friends are getting ruder or there's just this new game in town that no-one's told me about...
-
Buses that come early. No excuse.

There's a lot of cocaine around at the moment. Um, so I've heard. O_o
-

Buses that leave the terminal early! NAN excuses.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you knew what I meant.
And look, without wanting my comment to be subjected to the same word. by. word. analysis as Ben's above, I think I know what he's getting at.
But yeah, I wont use that excuse. After all this is a space to "use our words". My excuse is I am on my second beer. Nuff said.
-
Things I love: it's 5pm, time to head off into the sunshine for booze and fine company.
-
I hope you like big tits and cocaine, we're going to auckland.
But until shown proof I'm not prepared to accept that a significantly higher proportion of gay men than straight have obnoxious personalities.
Ok - that's offensive. Camp (Cf. that be-atch Susan Sontag) is a cultural signifier as important (even if sometimes obnoxious) as Te Reo is to Maori. Don't be gettin up in my grilz, colonising my culture caus look at the fist, this bitch is pissed - whatevah

<quote>and fine company.<quote>
Which I'm sure will include many PA commentatatators. Feel free to buy me drinks in exchange for my sarcasm.

If being on your second beer is an excuse, we should like, totally catch up after your third...
-
Things I love? System threads that get completely, irretrievably sidetracked.
-

Yes! And worse is when they judge you on their incorrect sentence ending.
"What did you get up to on the weekend?"
"Oh, I stay-"
"Stayed at home? Oh, you should get out more. You're so boring."
"Uh, stayed out really late on Saturday night after the Mint Chicks show and then spent Sunday sleeping." -
Have read the Camp leaflet written by that Susan Sontag lady.
I enjoyed it. Can't remember a goddamn thing about its contents tho.... -
It smelled like vomit. No, really. It smelled like vomit. It tasted like …
That would be the Gurana. Why put Gurana in an alcoholic drink? Because by law you can't put caffeine in, because you're not allowed to keep drunks awake. When they pass out they can't be kept awake by unscrupulous bar owners so they can sell more alcohol.
Well, that used to be the law -- but I saw a street poster recently promoting some bottled alcapop that expressly trumpeted it was alcohol and caffiene!! So maybe the law has changed.
Allied Liquour released a cola based alcapop With Gurana!! in the 90s. They wanted to put caffiene in (lots!) so that you would get a rush (it was 'for the club crowd') but the law wouldn't allow it. So they put Gurana in instead. It was called XLR8 and It tasted like … VOMIT! -
58. The ultimate Camp statement: it's good because it's awful . . .
Ah, so THAT's what they mean, when they (mis)use "ironic".
