    One of my favorite movies, and this very line is discussed at length in a fairly dry, scholarly book I have on gay American history. I consider mid century anything in the middle third (i.e. 1934-1967), and the use of gay to mean homosexual did in fact exist that early in just a couple of places in the country - not surprisingly, New York and LA. And even more specifically, Hollywood and Harlem.

    It may surprise some, but Harlem was actually a more gay-friendly place in the 20's and 30's even than the village. A good number of the figures of the Harlem Renaissance (Langston Hughes, Ma Rainey, Billy Strayhorn) were gay. This book even posits that "gay" as a slang for homosexual began in Harlem, and that the equivalent slang "friend of Dorothy" - often said to mean "friend of Judy Garland" or "friend of Dorothy Parker" actually referred to a now-forgotten woman in Harlem named Dorothy who had a number of gay friends.

And in fact have use 'gay' in the very sense that WD did when describing BraviSEAmo! (although, I do also roll my eyes in gay exaggeration when saying it, lol)

    I actually do - really. I wanted to point out the thoughtless use of it - which WD "got" instantly - and ended up revealing someone else. Moving on...

    Is the Mickey Wheel involved at all? I've heard that it is.

The water really starts to pick up at this point - I was standing on the boardwalk and there's was a lot of water fallout.

    #114 - Yes, MFW is used during some parts of the show. Works really well and isn't distracting at all.

    #115 - No, the Alice scene isn't in the show.. but they kept some surprises for the finale scene! Hint, he's purple :)
