That was a (Funny) Heart Skipper!

10 09 2009

After hearing my latest “notification” signal that I received a new e-mail in my Outlook Inbox at work, my heart skipped a beat when I read the subject line:

“An invitation to lunch at Buddy Guy’s during the IML Conference.”

I bet close to 90% of my readers know what IML stands for in the gay community, but what a relief when IML was actually referring to “Illinois Municipal League.”

iml29logoI thought to myself, “How the heck did someone from International Mr. Leather get hold of my work e-mail address??!!” Granted I knew that the IML gathering in Chicago was a while ago already, but it still was an eye-opener. :-D

What a relief!

Hilarious. Imagine if you’d have shown up appropriately dressed only to find out…

I had to Google it to find out what you meant. For all my decades as a gay man I am still pretty vanilla in my activities!

OK… Count me as a member of the 10% who had to keep reading to find out what IML was… I’m soooo uncool…

In Canada they have a similar problem – the local factory in Stratford has a big red neon sign announcing their logo name – FAG.

I had no idea what IML meant…does that mean I’m a bit out of it?

I didn’t know what IML was either. I take it you’re not out at work then so it would have been a big deal?

Have to admit to not getting the IML reference either. Ah well.
How come you wouldn’t have gone to the lunch? I would’ve been delighted… lol.
