:adding your message to the Pinky & the Brain page? 

I've no objection, whatsoever! I'm very 'out' and proud to be in a 15-year
committed relationship with one of the most wonderful women in the world.

I love that essay! I've bookmarked it.  yes, I see PatB as a gay
couple.   Interestingly enough, they mirror, in reverse, rodent society
in real life.  In a colony of female rats or mice, it is the most
INTELLIGENT female that is the dominant. In male colonies, the largest
rat or mouse is the boss. In any mexed-gender colony, the female is
dominant over the male except during breeding, when the most submissive
male can (and will) approach any female he likes.  but I digress.

Brain, though smaller, is dominant due to his intellect.  Since many
things gay males do are non-typical of males, this is to be expected.

Also, I refer you to the online chat transcript (I think it was on the
Acme Labs Homepage) where the question is asked of the pair "How did you
meet?"

Pinky: "There was a soft rain falling. Candle light and wine. the Brain
was in a grey pinstripe and I was in blue taffeta..."
Brain: "Don't go there, Pinky!"

Proof positive, I'd say!  Athough the Brain offers that in truth, he was
offered a hanster as a cagemate and he declined, I think he's farther in
the closet than Pinky is.

Take care, be well and happy!

Brain's littermate... or was it Pinky's...?

Well, I *just* caught one, today!  In the Noah's Ark 'toon with the Hip 
Hippoes.  The animals are going in 2X2 and Pinky says "These pantyhose 
are KILLIN' me, Brain! I much prefer knee highs!" P. seems to be in drag 
and B. is not.  Noah stares at the couple for a moment and shrugs, "Who 
am I to judge?"!! I would have fallen off my chair had I not been sitting 
on the floor at the time NARF!

Here's a little titbit for your page. Enjoy!

The 'other' theme

They're Pinky and the Brain
The couple's rather gay!
They're butch/femme in the lab
and glad to be that way!

Pinky wears his keys
On the left and kinda low
And that's why he grins
At each and every blow!

The brain is into power
But no, he's not a clone.
He's the rodent of the hour
His style is all his own!

They're Pinky and the Brain,
Before the sun is nigh,
They'll subjugate the world
Waving rainbow flags on high!

Oh, BTW, perhaps Pinky's full name is Pinky T(riangle) Mouse?

ZORT!

Subject: Pinky and Brain

then there is the proposition that Pinky and the Brain are exactly what
they appear to be - A meglomaniac in a long term relationship with a
pre-operative transexual mouse. This takes care of the *problem* of
excess male female role modeling and it's non-applicability to most gay
relationships ie "Who's the man?" "We are both men, thank you."

I sort of love it, although it does raise the question of why we think
of Pinky as male anyway, since the mannerisms and many of the references
made well I think you see the point.

Oh yes I have crashed my mac twice on your site once trying to get to
the guestbook, feel free to repost this to the guest book and by the way

Love it, simply smashing! Pinky is simply the best sidekick to come
along in years (OH my God I hope the Gabriellle fan club doesn't get see
this! But hey, Pinky isn't *real*!)
