Doogie Howser Is Going To Be Somebody's Husband

As I blog from the front of Mah Boo Anderson Cooper's firehouse, waiting for him to prance out in a cloud of platinum glitter to propose to me using a ring he made with the locks of his diamond dust-covered pubes, let's all celebrate the engagement of Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka. You know EVERYBODY and their body waxer got engaged last night and now you can add NPH and DB to that list. They announced it on Twatter last night.

@Davidburtka David Burtka
@Team_Klaine4ver I've already purposed, he said yes! Thank god!

Davidburtka David Burtka
@Team_Klaine4ver he proposed to me as well. I said yes! Thank god!

@Davidburtka David Burtka
Neil and I have been wearing rings for years. We have been engaged for a while. It did not just happen.

I wish somebody would purposed to me. No, I don't know what that means, but I've got a $10 off coupon for the free clinic, zero standards and a no-no that's been through it all so I'm up for everything!

But seriously, this is not only good news for NPH and DB, but it's also good news for me. I can now follow in the footsteps of my gold digging heroes by marrying a senile old man for his money. I really feel like I haven't lived up to my full potential until I've looked a billionaire pruneface in his cataract lenses and said, "Your billions of dollars don't mean ANYTHING to me, but I'm allergic to ink and legal papers so I cannot sign that prenup." Now I just have to find a billionaire pruneface who will make my dreams come true. So if you know of a wealthy old bat who has shit eyesight (so he won't cringe when I pick and smell my eye boogers in the morning) and prefers the touch of a supple mound of bloat instead of a six-pack, send him my way! You get 10% of my divorce settlement as a finders fee!

And I really can't wait for NPH's wedding. My barren tear ducts may get moist when Vinnie Delpino walks him down the aisle to the Doogie Howser theme song.

I was thinking, how is NY going to handle gay marriage? Their divorce laws are all kinds of screwed up. It's not like California where it is a no fault state with divorce. In NY, you have to prove stuff like adultery and abandonment. It is a crapfest for straights, so what are gays going to do do with it?

Homosexuality has been observed in approximately 1500 species.

Homophobia has been observed in only one species.
*************************************************

Just exactly how would one go about "observing homophobia" in an animal (or other species)? It is a feeling and an attitude, not a behavior persay, so when you are able to read another species attitude, let me know.

Okaaayyy-I just saw that on the website. Bit of a stretch, especially when they have to explain the abbreviation right on the home page-seems a bit defensive. Also-the company's logo is a modified caduceus-commonly mistaken as a symbol of the medical profession. (The Rod of Asclepius is actually the correct symbol of the medical profession.)

"my brows could subtract that WTF look on your face so move along"

schlong.. so true. I get mad thinking about it. Even so called 'good' marriages this applies (women lose their freedoms) OY

And the name passing down thing.. mama did the hard work with the childbearing/birthing process. She gets to pass her last name:) Serious.

With Soon-yi 17 years ago? Was she still a kid back then, and was it creepy?

I figured it out, and it was pretty much 20 years ago, and yes, it was creepy.

I used to love Woody Allen movies, but I have never seen one that he's made since he molested his daughter.

I thought it was disgusting, still do, and it makes me sick the way NYC still continues to lionize the Woodman.

He's not only a pedophile, imo, but a promoter of incest.

My dad was imploring me just the other day to see Midnight in Paris, and I was like, "No way."

I was in a car with my friends on the main drag, looking for the turnoff for our rental house.

David Burtka owns a catering company. It's called GourmetMD. http://www.gourmetmdcatering.com/
-----------------------------------------------
Ugh-why would anyone put the initials MD after their catering company's name? Maybe to capitalize on their partner's fame as Doogie Howser MD? Blargh.

I remember last year at the Tony's there was a big discussion here about whether Sean Hayes was too "ghey" to play a straight guy, because of that Newsweek article.

I was firmly of the opinion that Sean Hayes is very queeny, so not believeable as straight.

I like watching HIMYM reruns, I look at NPH, and while he is not my type at all, I believe him as straight.

Although he is very metrosexual, which is ok since the show takes place in NYC.

They're always in an apt. or bar. They look like NYC apts. or bars, but who the hell knows.

Tigerlily and UBF,

It's true!

I congratulated him, and he was silent, and then said, "I'm going to forget that you said that, ---, and may I suggest we move on to another topic."

So I said, "Will you be wearing the wedding gown or tuxedo?"

He screamed, "Did you call for a reason?!"

I then laughed and moved into my reason for calling, but I had a good laugh.

I actually don't hate his girlfriend, but she absolutely loathes me, so I gotta get a hit in every now and then.

I told him he could finally marry his long-time partner (who looks like a man, imo.)

Women completely LOSE their personal identity/name once they marry.

----------------

Well the name part is optional but I agree about losing their identity. This is one of the things that scares me about marriage. I have seen strong, intelligent, educated, accomplished women dissolve into a marriage like sugar dissolving into coffee. It gives me the bad dreams!

Marriage always seems to me to add something to a man's life but to diminish a woman's life. Like imprisonment for the woman. You get a ring, maybe a new last name, and a cage around you.

If I were married I would never have gotten a master's degree, never run even one marathon, and wouldn't have the career I have now which I LOVE. My life would not be nearly as rich as it is (I don't mean money but there's that too: earning power). I may change my mind one day (and I would still marry MK anytime he gives me the nod) but... I doubt it.

(((shudder))) DO NOT WANT

That's me, though. Lots of people do want it, straight and ghey, they should be able to get married if they want to and if they do I say, "Good for you, go for it and good luck!"

I don't think Burtka has had a real job in years and years (I mean a job he got hired for without NPH pulling strings).

Five walk-on's in How I met your mother and now a tiny role in the new Harold and Kumar movie.

Makes me wonder how keen he really is on the whole going to work concept??

Let's hope we don't have a male Tammy Lynne Michaels on our hands a couple of years down the road...LOL

=========================
I thought I was his hag. This is going to have to be a polyhaginous relationship. Or is it polyvaginas?

Oh, polyhaginous, sure! I don't mind sharing him. I have other gheys to hag, too, dontcha know - and now of course there are will be all those weddings to attend! I don't think MK would mind.

Everyone can join in, it will be a good ol' fashioned gangbang when we all get together for the holidays! We'll have more people at the fambly reunions than the Duggars!

He is for gay marriage, though, which I'm surprised at because he's generally pretty conservative.

NPH's piece reminds me of this guy I saw on The Golden Girls last night...I know he was famous back in the day, but I cannot remember his name.

He played an airline pilot who was always coming over to the house of this doctor and his wife whose daughter dropped out of Columbia because her boyfriend dumped her and then the wife went up to NYC with her daughter to settle her back into school and ended up having a second honeymoon with the husband who flew up on a surprise from Florida.

His name is so on the tip of my tongue, I just can't remember it.

I'm not about to google every Golden Girls epiosode, I'd be here for years.

Prenups cannot stipulate anything regarding custody of children. That can only be decided by family court at the time of the split, and is always subject to change.

I'd say that overall gay marriages will be about as successful a straight marriages...aka 50% divorce rate. Get a prenup if you're going to get married. I know you're in love but don't be stupid.....

If by *wife* you mean a woman in a marriage, than Houston, we have a problem. In North America, more people live in common-law relationships, then married ones. So by my calculation, that LOTZ of illegal activity.
