Mr. Roxy, I sincerely hope your point wasn't to mock this happy occasion.

It was a joke constructed by the Roxy-o-meter, which combines a small number of punchlines in random ways. The Roxy-o-meter has been posting for years now. Here are the topics most frequently overused:

Lestat, Wildhorn, It's a Bird! It's a Plane! It's Superman!, the sponge was a hoot, forgotten old theater, the Mrs.,

I think in Roxy's sad twilight days, the idea of a gay couple having a baby can only be a punchline, no matter how lame the joke. Some folks who are trapped in misery can at least smile at the joy others find, Apparently Mr. Roxy cannot.

In Florida, I actually know a couple who named their baby Lestat. Not as bad as the woman my Mother knows who named her son Sir "cuz my baby igoshawks gonna be shown respect", but still pretty bad.

Hey joe, you are the one trapped in misery.

If you could not see it for what it was - a joke - I feel sorry for you. Some of your attempts at humor are lame but I say nothing. My life is fine & wonderful. I am so miserable Mrs R bought us tickets for Eltons MSG concert in May. It is really miserable to be going for a week in Paris in May -- a 60 th Birthday gift for my wife. The misery continues with a week in Vegas at the Bellagio in September. God such misery. Oh woe is me

For the record, I wish Elton & his partner all the best. The baby will have caring & loving parents.Imagine the bragging rights the kid will have when he goes to school. One kids daddy will be this & another that. He can say my daddy is Elton John

You & NAMO always seem the ones to be raining on everyone parade. Try someone else guys. No complaints here

Both are you continue to rip people unmercifully. When someone not of your political persuasion attempts to make a joke your thin skins show through. I feel sorry for the both of you. Lighten up guys life is to short. Get a sense of humor . To bad Christmas is over or Santa could bring you each one.

"Lighten up guys life is to short. Get a sense of humor."

I predict those words will come back to haunt you.

Maybe you could help me and explain the joke?

"Lestat" is Roxy's "Chicken Butt!"

Know what?
Chicken Butt!

Just A Guy

You feelings are touching. I am gladdened by the thought that you will one day wind up 6 feet under as we all do. Your hatred will precede you.

I do not get Chicken Butt but no matter. I could care less. So many thin skinned people I have never seen in my life. What a shame some individuals on this board cannot take a joke.

To Joe

To explain the joke, Elton had a flop show called Lestat. Do I have to explain it further?

NEWS FLASH

Lestat was a flop musical with music written by Elton John - Connect the dots people.

and his child is a flop?

With all due respect I don't follow the joke.

[Mr Roxy]

Read my post above.It was a joke. He wrote Lestat. Do not try & read more into it. Only on BWW can one make the Grand Canyon out of a grain of sand.

So he would name his baby after his one big flop and not any of his big hits. That is funny.

Can you translate this into English, Roxy?

I understand the part about how you'll be happy when I'm dead. What a charming sentiment, how long have you been harboring those lovely thoughts? Anything else you want to get off your chest?

But, I'm not so clear on my hatred preceding me. Hatred of what? Preceding me where?

And what exactly does any of it have to do with your own words coming back to haunt you?

Have you ever considered that maybe no one understands your jokes...because they simply don't make sense?

Gosh, Roxy...really? I can guarantee you, I won't be gladdened when you're six feet under. I won't be anything. So, don't assume that I might actually feel anything for or about you. I don't. I save my feelings for people who actually affect my life in some way. Which in your case is, not at all.

To me, you're nothing more than a diversion on a message board. Someone whom I engage with on occasion and sometimes not. I find you to be someone who seems to have a persecution complex, who's passive aggressive, who tells other people to get a sense of humor, while totally ignoring the fact that he doesn't have one himself.

Do I have feelings for you? Nah...just impressions of what I imagine you to be.

Can you just answer the questions I asked of you? You know the ones that you've ignored...about my hatred of what..and where it will be preceding me?

Everytime I see the name "Lestat", I think, "More Tit, Less Tat!"

On a similar note, check out the Post's headline.
I'd like to say I'm surprised, but . . .

“This isn’t just a designer baby for Sir Elton John, this is a designer accessory… [cut] Now it seems like money can buy him anything, and so he has entered into this peculiar arrangement…[cut] The baby is a product of it. A baby needs a mother and it seems an act of pure selfishness to deprive a baby of a mother.”
So much ass-hattery

Roxy, you beat me to it! I only wish he adopted a daughter so he could name her Claudia...I'd be more fitting, haha

But in all seriousness - chill out guys. It's a joke.

[Mr Roxy]

Finally some sanity prevails. Watch out as they will now come after you.

Roxy,

I got the joke too and am surprised no one else beat you to the punch, no pun intended.

Wouldn't you have to take AWAY the grain of sand to make the Grand Canyon?
