Either way, you do you henny.
No, I know exactly what you're talking about. The thing is, I've known plenty of gay men who didn't speak effeminately, and I knew this one guy who you would swear was gays just because of how he talked, but the guy was the biggest pussy hound I ever knew.
'scuse the vulgarity but I don't know a delicate way to get the point across.

I actually do have a slight lisp. It used to be so bad when I was a kid that I sounded nearly as bad as Louie Spence, and I got bullied for it. I've trained it down though and I'm good at talking properly now, it actually comes natural now.
I do think some gays overplay it, or it just gets worse when they're excited over something.

There's just no hard and fast rule. Like CD, I've known plenty of dudes with a lisp--not gay. One of my best friends is the biggest American Football fan I know, gay as a rainbow.
Assuming things based of the stereotypes can be dumb, is the point.

He did! But I was at work and didn't know how to turn off the notifications. My phone was hot and losing battery. I panicked! I lost control! Dear gawd I left the group! And now I'm alone in skype darkness.
Until my bro has breakfast and is ready to talk. Then there's sunshine.
Aww, that's so sweet  I'm sad I woke up late and missed you  Fucking bastard time zone differences! It's not fair!
On my version of Skype, I swipe the person/group towards the left, and then it reveals some icons. One of them is a crossed out alarm bell, which disables notifications for that one.
And yeah, Rex did an accent tag, I remember it 
Far from being curious, people are probably sick of hearing my accent by now

Not most of the time :p And never to a complete 90 degree angle the way some do, I don't know how, it's painful.

I think the maximum angle must be given by the Kinsey scale. Only the flat 6es can do 90°

Wrestling with computer problems. This file server just has to hold it together long enough to copy things over from it to the new machine. It's making that very difficult. It kept freezing up on me.

I sound gay.
I sound so enthusiastically happy/gay I sound like I constantly want to fuck Elton John in the ear.
I don't but my gayness makes me sound that way.
As a completely heterosexual and straight man (er, turtle), being gay anyway regardless suggests I'm especially gay as fuck. Or something.
