Kicking It at Barbary Lane Senior Communities
What the hell? We're no where near 40 yet. So why are we receiving the following flyer in our mailbox for assisted independent retirement living?
Still, we love the idea of queer-littered retirement communities for us. And we liken ourselves to the shut-in in the lower right-hand corner, living her last moments in clean-lined and white orchid-filled pristine bliss.
Armistead Maupin's limitless possibilities of living after the jump.

Armistead Maupin is a hack for supporting this tasteless display. If he had any integrity, he'd have insisted they name it The Last Roundup, decorate with a tasteful, butch western motif, have denim colostomy bags, and Helen Hayes look alike contests for all the drag queens.
ha! good one TAYN!
but cut the guy a break, he needs to pay the bills, better this than say, a line of denim colostomy bags exclusively at Wal Mart...
What if someone wants to move in there today? Can I even if I don't meet the (unwritten?) age requirement?
Don't worry about it ... I've been getting AARP membership and related "benefits" mailings since my mid-20s. I must subscribe to magazines or something that retirees tend to adore.
Sounds like an old folks home to me.
Brock,
Try to get an apartment now. Think of all the old, lonely, rich single guys you could meet.
After you befriend one, I'll loan you my copy of "101 Ways to Cause a Fatal Heart Attack."
Do we actually know that Mr. Maupin had a say in the naming of this community? Does he have a copywrite or some other legal claim on "Barbary Lane"? Or is this just a rush to judgement?
mariconsoy: Want to make sure that said elder has changed his will first. Otherwise, his niece in Gary, IN ends up with everything and all of that hard work is down the toilet. And the hunt begins again....
