Gay Sex Breaks Out on Mythbusters (Not really)

Gay Sex Breaks Out on Mythbusters



LiveJournal is ground zero of the slash fiction revolution. Apparently even LJ founder Brad Fitzpatrick has been known to read a little slash once in a while. But I doubt he's reading slash about real-life gearheads Tory and Grant from Discovery Channel's gonzo mechanical engineering show Mythbusters. Oh yes, there is an entire LJ community devoted to slashing those brainy babes who blow things up in the name of science. Here's a sample:

Damn, Tory thought. Grant looked good today. The gentle Oriental was wearing a black T-shirt – as they all did nearly every day at Mythbusters – and talking with some producer’s daughter. Tory wanted to leap over and run his fingers through Grant’s hair, but the producer’s daughter was all of seven, and she might not understand the emotions Tory felt for his coworker.

Oh boy -- where to begin? With the porno-racist phrase "gentle Oriental"? What about the amazing eye for detail required to make the observation that everyone on Mythbusters wears black t-shirts "nearly every day"? I don't know about you, but I think Tory/Grant slash may be almost as great as the rash of Esther Dyson/Marc Andreessen slash that broke out a couple of years ago. Remember that great Esther/Marc story where Esther told Marc his business model was really robust, and he told her that her observations about the tech industry were intensely penetrating? I thought my monitor was going to light on fire.

1. oh c'mon! they're queer as three dollar bills.

well if I had a gaydar that's what it would say.

do NOT get me started on Terry Schiavo and those balloon thingies. Bill Frist was right. It's not too late - she might still come out of it. :P

2. As long as I can continue my heterosexual fantasies about Kari Byron,

I'm fine with it. The former host Scottie can join in too if she wants. :)
