Brokeback humor that I don't find funny...is it just me?

[Br. Patrick]

Do you think he could remember anything at all about where he read that?  I'd love to find it and post it here!  I know that I certainly divide my own life into B.B. and A.B.!

He read something in a Dr.'s office.   He thinks it may have been People but I misunderstood him.  What he meant is that he read something that mentioned one of the lines in Brokeback Mountain.  He came up with the cultural paradigm shift himself.  But he's absolutely correct!  LET'S TELL EVERYBODY!

Excerpt from the Sydney Morning Herald:

...For anyone not as up-to-date with the changing face of the English language as a 13-year-old, a new book will be released next month.

I Smirt, You Stooze, They Krump is a compilation of about 500 of the newest, strangest pop-culture references in the language.

...And what expression have Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal inspired? The "brokeback marriage", a relationship in which one partner is gay or has at least had a gay liaison.

I don't find that the least bit funny, either.  Unless we're laughing *at* him for being such a dork.

Why even say it, unless you're as insecure as all get-out, as you've said here?  He basically may as well have said, "But, hey, we're not queer or anything."  I mean, WTF?  Over?
