François est un ami sincère...il est un des premiers hommes gais avec lesquels j'ai causé sur le net, même avant ma première visite au Chat gai! Nous nous sommes rencontrés à Geocities Paris Chat en juin, 1996. Depuis ce temps-là on a éprouvé ensemble maintes choses! Si l'internet cessait à exister demain, on resterait des amis à jamais....enfin au mois de juillet, 1997, on s'est rencontré pour le vrai à Bruxelles! Et je sais maintenant qu'il es grand et beau en plus de l'esprit sincère qu'il possède!

Cette chanson, de la comédie musicale "Mame" illustre un peu de la nature du jeu
et aussi du profondeur de notre amitié. (Il y a un échantillon à écouter en bas.)

Bosom Buddies

We'll always be bosom buddies, friends, sisters and pals!
we'll always be bosom buddies!
(If life should reject you, there's me to protect you!)
"If I say that your tongue is vicious,"
"If I call you uncouth,"
It's simply that who else but a bosom buddy
will sit down and tell ya the truth!

"Though now and again I'm aware that my candid opinion may sting,"
"Though often my frank observation might scald,
I've been meaning to tell you for years,
You should keep you hair natural like mine."
"If I kept my hair natural like yours, I'd be bald!----
But darling, we'll always be dear companions: My crony!"
"My mate!"

(We'll always be harmonizing!)
"Orphan Annie and Sandy!"
"Like Amos and Andy!"
"If I say that your sense of style's as far off as your youth,
it's simply that, who else but a bosom buddy will tell you the whole stinking truth!"

"Each time that a critic has written, 'Your voice is the voice of a frog,'
straight to your side to defend you I rush!
You know that I'm there every time that the world makes an unkind remark,
--when they say that François is the world's greatest lush!--It hurts me!"
"And if I say your fangs are showing, Celui, pull in your claws!
It's simply that, who else but a bosom buddy will notice the obvious flaws!"

"I feel it's my duty to tell you, it's time to adjust to your age.
You try to be Peg o' My Heart when you're Lady MacBeth!
Exactly how old are you, François? The truth!"
"How old do you think?"
"I'd say somewhere between 40 and...death!"

(But sweetie!) "I'll always be Alice Toklas
if you'll be Gertrude Stein!
And though I'll admit I've dished you,
I've gossiped and gloated--but I'm so devoted!"
"And if I say that sex and guts made you into a star,
it's simpley that, who else but a bosom buddy will tell you how rotten you are!"

Just turn to your bosom buddy!
for aid and affection,
for help and direction,
for loyalty, love and, forsooth,
(Bosom Buddies)
remember that who else but a bosom buddy
will sit down and level, will
give you the devil; will
sit down and tell you the truth!

BONGA! BONGA! BONGA!....

La fille pom-pom!....

Je veux être un homme heureux....
