G or ET?

I was in San Francisco for the majority of the day. Had a doc appointment, went to the beloved Canvas Cafe, took the #43 to the Exploratorium, hung with my girl LL, ate a rather tasty hot dog, checked out the optics exhibit, walked south on Lyon Street (gorgeous! ), went to Trader Joe's, bused downtown and......

FOUND MYSELF PLAYING A ROUSING GAME OF GAY OR EUROTRASH!!

Being that I've been checking out all red-blooded Y-chromosome carrying humans in my presence, I was scanning the possibilities while walking to the BART. I found myself thinking to myself over and over and over again, "He's gatta be gay." True, not atypical in San Francisco. But downtown is never THIS fabulously gay. Then I figured it out. I noticed that virtually everyone in earshot was speaking French, German, Polish, etc, etc...apparently Europe has descended on the Bay Area. And the game began.
