Also, 26 is a poor year to get the gay.  It is old enough to have a "normal" life to disrupt, but young enough to have a long time to live with the consequences of such a change.  If it had been, say, 18, the curse probably would have died out relatively soon due to the not liking womens factor leading to lack of heirs.  This curse was well planned.

Of course, it seems like it has indeed ended with Pat.  So.

Is it clear that this is really the end, though? Although it seems like lines this way would die out pretty fast, it also seems unlikely that in the 600+ years of this curse kicking around that there would still be only one patrilineal branch of this family left. It's not improbable that the cursed sons may have had two sons before turning 26 (or even after, if they were already married and they needed more sons to, uh, direct the plow, or whatever all those farm boys did in the preindustrial era). Pat's referenced having a sister, so (unless she's actually a half-sister on his mother's side) presumably even Simon managed to have two kids. There may be yet lines of Reynoldses afflicted.

Besides, the real issue with Pat breeding isn't that he is/will be gay (do we know whether he's 26 yet?), it's that he's a colossal dick. Any lady he was close enough to to possibly breed with would turn out to be a secret barber-sympathizer, or something, and it'd all collapse messily in yelling and stomp-offs at the veglegon restaurant.

Not to mention that Roast Beef would probably accidentally get shot again.

Yeah, I basically can't see Pat having offspring in any circumstance.  The dude is constantly furious, and this does not help ladies/fellows want to make it with you, as I understand it.  Pat is that guy in the one episode of the Twilight Zone, where he wishes everyone in the world was like him, but when it happens he is just an asshole surrounded by assholes and no one is happy.  MORAL GOES HERE

Like I said before, I think pat's hetero/homosexuality merely determines what gender he can't imagine doing something so base with.

Pat has killed for less.

So there is a bloodline of gayness?  Not to be a homophobe or anything, but isn't that kind of... self-contradicting?

You think that's odd, imagine a cat who can talk and drive an Escalade. Or perhaps a stuffed tiger who drinks too much alcohol? Or maybe ... just maybe even a cat with hell of depression who enjoys programming computers and has a girlfriend who is legally dead.

I think those are the mysteries we need to focus on here, folks.

Well, as far as 26 being a crap time to gaywaken (henceforth: gwake, gwaken, or gwaked, to be pronounced with a long a vowel sound) it is my understanding that gay death happens at 30. 

What a truly horrible curse, to be agwokened a short 4 years before g'death.

You make it sound like a pretentious artsy/"punk" roleplaying game there, dude.

"At 26, one comes to understand their true self -- you, one of a select few carriers of a curse as old as time, become Gaywakened.

V has clearly never done any LARPing... none at all.  Never.

I am very interested in purchasing the source books and several other products in this line.

[oball]

C'mon, no commentary about Pat's ancestor's fabulous hat? For a while I thought he was wearing an old-timey aviation cap, and even now I'm not sure what to make of this particular development.

It made me think of Baldrick from Blackadder.

Well, wait there bucko. Just because he or she may disgust or uh... further disgust Pat, doesn't mean he won't be attracted to that person. Even if it's ridiculous.

[theinevitable]

dude, how did I miss a blog entry where arrosto beef says that Pat likes to J/O?

I hear he's eating seafood these days.

Man, Pat got one hell of a roll on the Tragedie. It was teetering on Caul-veil Birth but then at the last moment fell over to Gaywakening.

[V-Adore]

Oh, I'm not saying Pat wouldn't be attracted to theoretically-breedable-with ladies, just that he would never get to the point of actually breeding with them. Inevitably they would fail some sort of personal cleanliness guideline or he would have a rage attack or something such that mad ruttiness would never happen, thus no chance of a further generation of Reynoldses barring some kind of audacious and bizarre sperm theft.
