The one thing that makes me read what you say about the panel and NOT cringe, is that John's usually the first in line to make fun of himself. And they've done this same sort of ribbing whenever he's there, too. He gives it back, and they have a wonderfully teasing dynamic amongst themselves. They turn into a bunch of silly boys together, which makes them quite fun. I just miss John being in it with them.

And there's a whole lot of gay folk who don't get it, either. Being a Kinsey 6 doesn't suddenly grant you understanding that no one else on the scale can have. The only thing that keeps me from flat out turning it off based just on the "gay" stuff is the fact that Jack Doesn't Care. And he usually just throws it back. If he were to start questioning himself, I'd probably throw something at the TV>
