We here at Thundersquee! love our commenters. We love them so much that we’d sneak out to the parking lot behind the bleachers and make out with them in the back seat of their bitchin’ Camaro. But Thundersquee! is classy, so there will be no heavy petting. Instead, Thundersquee! will highlight the most squee!-worthy comments in a weekly column aptly titled Best in Squee!

And the award goes to…

Most Wistfully Wise: TheHobo

Remember when celebrities were stars, and they practiced being really good at ONE thing, like acting? Or even in the day of musicals, they acted, sang and danced…but on screen. And really, they mostly stuck with one of the three as their special talent.

I miss having people who are really good at the one thing they try really hard at.

Instead we have all these multi-hyphenated people who at best mediocre in all their hyphens…

There seems to be a correlation between lack of actual talent and the number of things a celebrity tries to be good at…

Zer Der. Zer Kveer. Get Zoos for It: Helen Skor

I would love to see statistics on what percentage of the wild population of penguins is gay vs. those at the German Zoo. Seriously – 30% of their penguins are gay? Or is this zoo like the Key West of zoos, and so all the little gay penguins move there so that they can live their lives with their little beaks held high and without fear of social ostracism?

Next thing you know, there will be a study conducted by some right-wing think tank that uses this information to “prove” that homosexuality is contagious, and therefore all gays should be quarantined.

Slow Clap Award: Roxy Darling

It’s like he’s really arguing for the abolishment of marriage between *anyone* by using such archaic reasoning. (not his intent, I’m sure) Because, if I refuse to accept his arguments, (which any self-respecting child of the current era must?) then I must also refuse the validity of any marriage system. I refuse to be controlled, considered unable to control myself, or in need of protection. Therefor, I would refuse to enter into such a relationship because, thank god, now and in America, I can opt out and not be a pariah, starve, be ritually raped by my village elders, set on fire, or any of the other delightful realities of other cultures.

But, if I decide that marriage is (in this day, age and culture) about love and the personal decision between two mature, rational beings, and NOT any of the things he lists, then I can not only allow myself to get married, but allow anyone to marry anyone else who also meets those criteria (love, rational, willing, etc.). But he can’t accept that because it opens the door to what he hates, and so instead he swings wildly for another explanation.
It’s so sad that in their rabid desire to oppress others, they cast their net so wide as to include their own wives and daughters in the insanity. What fuckwittery.

I mean, do these people think these things out to their rational conclusions, at all?? Or am I the only one that likes to take theories and run them to ground?

If some asshat is going to make a argument against gay marriage, I wish they’d just keep it strictly religious or political, and not try to drag women’s issues into it. I can disagree but still respect *those* opinions. But, when they stray into supporting nonsensical ancient reasoning which is really about control of property, inheritance and male pride, then I just want to reach for a brick. …ok, I have to stop now. I apologize for the foaming of the mouth and crazy-eye.
