I can't attest to the truth of this. But I can tell you that I heard the
same rumors about Rod Stewart, Mick Jaeger,etc.
In fact, it was a quite popular rumor about 10 years ago. It seems that half
of all male pop musicians have ended up in the hospital because of this.

Bwa-haa-haa-haa.... Oops. Sorry. I am trying to compose this as I wipe
away tears from about 5 minutes of continuous laughter, so bear with me.
HALF-A-PINT, eh? My mind simply EXPLODED with stuff like:
I didn't know it came in half pints.
Did he get it fresh from the pump, and if so, phone # of source, please!
Was it an autologous donation of semen that he consumed?
And on... and on... <heh> and <heh> on....
Is Jordy gay? My radar whoops away everytime I see/hear him. If he's
consuming semen to grow hair, someone should tell him it's more
efficacious as a TOPICAL treatment. If true, I wonder if Jordy's thought
out the HIV-related aspect of his semen consumption.
I s'pose if he fainted in front of *ME*, I'd hafta give him CPR. :) :)

I took my entourage shopping yesterday at Toys-R-Us.
(Note to our internation readers: Toys-R-Us is a very large chain of
VERY large toystores in the USA. Warehouse sized toystores, full of
every mass-marketed toy or game imaginable.)
Now, I like toys with the best of them, but shopping with me is usually
a pretty surreal experience. Like Ozymandeous watching dozens of television
sets in the Watchmen, it helps me gauge the mood and direction of society
and pop culture in general. Among my conclusions:
The amount of paraphernalia associated with New Kids On The Block (NKOTB)
is astounding, even to my jaded eyes. One can buy NKOTB buttons, balloons,
action figures, bed sheets, comforters, tshirts, posters, books, games,
puzzles, magazines, interview cassettes, rings, shoe-laces, backpacks,
shower curtains, trashcans, stationary, notebooks, pens, pencils,
photographs, and (incidentally) albums. When you consider the amount of
this stuff floating around, the following question begs to be asked:
Just what in the hell is going to happen to all this stuff once the craze
is over and/or all these kids grow up a bit? Will we ship millions of
unwanted NKOTB T-shirts to developing third world nations?
You know you've made it big in our society when you can buy an action
figure of yourself.
You can now buy Barbie dolls in bazillions of different types (including
Nigerian Barbie, which we thought was pretty cool) but the only alternative
Ken is Black Ken, dressed up to go dancing. (White Ken is available as
a pilot, doctor, dancer (nightclub and ballet), safari leader, etc.)
You can buy MickeyMouse slipper that light up (batteries and tiny lightblubs)
when you walk. But you can't get them in size 11.
MilliVanilli notebooks and folders are still available, if you hurry.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Santa dolls were a big loser this season.
(Thank God.)
Small children would play disconnected demo-unit videogames. With
the game completely nonfunctional, they would still pretend to be
playing the "real" game. This should tell me something, but I
don't know what.
Motss-content? Not much. But that hasn't stopped us before. :)

Yup. I was surprised when I went to Africa (in the Peace Corps - lo, these
_many_ years ago) to see how many people were wearing t-shirts that
said things like "Penn State" and "Hawaii!" and stuff. It seems that
groups collect these things and put them in big barrels and send them to
the third world where they get sold in the markets. You could go to
a big market and see the barrels labelled "XYZ Christian Aid Foundation"
(or whatever) with the mama's sitting next to them with choice shirts
spread out on mats for your perusal.
A strange (and usually overlooked) form of cultural imperialism.

During the Great Patriotic War (i.e., WWII), among the items sent
by the Western Allies as Lend-Lease to the USSR were many thousands of
pairs of pajamas. (Don't ask, I don't know. But they were sent, just
the same.)
Not knowing what else to do with them, the Soviets distributed them in
southern provinces as summer clothing. German POW's from camps
in these areas reported this use after their repatriation.
American T-shirts are apparently very popular overseas. I recall
a TV show many years ago, where they were in Moscow filming teenagers
on the streets. Many T-shirts in English were visible, including one
from the US Marine Corps... when asked, its wearer claimed to speak
no English and not to know what the shirt said.

Inspired by these stories, I did a little research and uncovered the
history of this urban legend.
This is by no means a recent phenomenon; popular musicians throughout
history have been assailed by such rumors, which are invariably false.
For instance, we find records of similar accusations being levelled
against Glenn Miller (1), Francis Scott Key (2), and Ludwig van
Beethoven (3).
Further back, we see signs in old English verse:
"Ye bard ov olde, a tale I telle
ov time whann he didst feele not welle.
Hight George of London, faire and brave;
for him, the lasses all didst rave.
In midst ov song, with notte a shout,
he turneth pale and passeth out.
In middewife's shack they him didst dumpe
for treatement with ye stommache pumpe.
Then founde him nay possessed by demonne
but rather, fourteen drams ov semenne." (4)
Yet even this ancient fragment does not fully plumb the depths of this
urban legend. Norse eddas tell of seasick skalds(5), Roman carvings
describe heaving heralds... it seems credible that the legend may have
begun during the time of cave dwellers(6), or even before.
The oldest reference I could find, however, is a portion of a shred
of a little-discussed Dead Sea Scroll.
"And so did the Maurice the crier wander the land, singing
praises to God on high, throughout Canaan and Gallilee and
Judea and [several lines missing] and Yemen and Persia;
throughout all the lands of Israel did he wander. And he cometh
into Sodom, land of the naughty people, and thence to Megiddo,
home of [paragraph missing] and others among the Levites, and
there sought public audience, so that all might hear of his song.
And yea, verily did he sayest unto the peoples assembled
there, "Rejoice for I bring you -." And Maurice did pass into
unconsciousness. Out like a light, he was, so that some among
the multitude took him for dead and began to bury him. Yet their
hands were stayed by the wisest among them, who spake saying,
"Stay your hands, for he yet lives! Feel thee not his pulse ?
See thee not his breathing ? Hear thee not his snoring ?"
And thus Maurice was taken from the burial ground to
the Temple, and as he slept did the priests pray and offer
great sacrifices, of cattle and fowl and [page missing] and
other sacrifices. Then, after seven days and seven nights
of sacrifice and prayer, did Maurice commence in a fit of
coughing. For seven times seven minutes did he cough, until
he did spew forth more than a gill of the seed of men. And
the women of Megiddo, upon hearing of this deed, did commence
to wail and gnash their teeth, while the menfolk there did smile
among themselves. And Maurice did thereafter dwell in the temple
for seven weeks, upon request of the high priest."(7)
Having put this topic to bed, perhaps we can now move on to greater
pursuits.

----------------
Well, kids, as you see, some people believe this, and some don't. Do YOU
think it is a plausible story? First let's try the analytical approach.
Let's say a rough half pint is at least 200 cc., and a typical go (come)
is about one cc., and it takes about 3 mins to produce it. So this poor
man must have spent at least 10 hours (3 x 200 = 600 mins) on the job.
The 10 hours also presumes that none of the semen was being digested or
passed on from the stomach during that time.
This seems pretty hard to swallow :-)
But of course these are just guesses. So now we come to the experimental
side. This is the kind of interesting scientific experiment YOU can do
in your own homes! What are the REAL figures? How long would it REALLY
take for this poor man to get a half-pint of semen in his stomach? How
many friends would he need to help him? Yes, that's right Mary, it would
be useful to plot Tommy's semen time/quantity decay curves in your graph
book. What's that Tommy? The Zoo? No Tommy, we're talking home science
experiments here, and your mummy wouldn't like it if you brought an
elephant home. And you kids with access to medical libraries can do a
literature search and bring us the references. See you next week! Byee!

Obviously some company with influence had a big surplus of pajamas. A great
deal of our foreign aid has everything to do with bolstering U.S. businesses
and creating markets for U.S. goods and nothing to do with helping people.
It gets funded under the guise of humanitarianism but that is not its purpose.
Same goes for the Peace Corps.

Oh, for Heaven's sake! half a measly *pint*? Look, cum's just this nice
sticky goo full of mucopolysaccharides and other yummy nutrition; I'd
hate to think what its LD50 must be, but it'd have to be in the pints

I grant that there is often too little difference in this
distinction, but I would say "against your commercial
policy" there.
But that doesn't address the issue I thought Dana raised:
why don't we demand that assistance to others be for *them*,
primarily?
Assistance might also benefit us, but as it is, the primary
thrust is our benefit, with benefits to the foreign
population being tangential or (more commonly) regressive or
nonexistent. Aid that hurts or is irrelevant is not aid
at all.

I have no idea if this is true or false, but I think it is interesting to
notice that Jordan is (at least according to most people around me) the *cutest*
boy in the band. Thus, we should be careful : it's easy to believe things when
you want them to be true.
Anyway, although I would be very glad to know that Jordan is gay (especially
if he says it himself without being forced to), I'm afraid there is no chance :
The New Kids have been ``hired'' by the produced Maurice Starr because of their
good looking, in order to build a band for kids and especially girls ; and I'm
afraid Starr wouldn't have missed something like that (A little bit too risky,
isn't it ? :-).

When I was starting high school [gad, was it really almost 15 years ago?]
the subject of this story, at least in Toledo, Ohio, was Rod Stewart.
Sounds like it's simply going through another iteration.
Metadiscussion on why society still uses these stories as implied
insults may now begin.

This seems like an awful lot. Er...did they get the phone number of the guy
he'd been with?
I was told by a friend of mine that (oh ho, he we go) that a friend of
his was cruising the Castro about 7 or 8 years ago, and happened by a
chap called Fred Smerlas, that tall, rather good-looking gentleman
who now plays for the 49ers. Well, the rest is history. Could also
be an outright lie.

Funny, I heard this same story told about 10 years back involving Rod
Stewart. It had supposedly happened during a concert just a couple of
days before he was getting married. Later, another story came out
refuting the prior story explaining that the substance removed from his
stomach was actually testosterone, a male hormone, and that he had been
taking this in preparation for his wedding night. I find both stories a
bit hard to swallow. =B^)

Aha! It's that old Urban Legend again. I first head this one in 1977, but
instead of Jordan Knight, it was Rod Stewart who was the unfortunate victim.
I also heard another variation that it was a girl who was attending a Rod
Stewart concert.
How to spot an Urban Legend: "My friend told me that a friend told her (and
she *swears* this is true)..." Yes, it would be fab if one (or *all*) of the
new twits came out (how did those boys get that job anyway?), but propigating
an UL is not the way to support them in doing that. Lets put this one to
rest with the ones about the LSD tattoos and the Ether Bunny.

This is one of the most common urban legends, and it is typically
applied to rock stars. I heard it in 1978 about Mark Almond of
Soft Cell. Then in about 1984, I heard it about Rod Stewart.
"A reliable source" is always the first tip-off. Sure. You bet.

The whole topic of whether the NKotB are gay or not was making the rounds for
a while on the Bisexual-L list a while back.
The closest thing to a *verifiable* incident that was mentioned was that
a friend of the person posting the ariticle was a security guard at one
of their concerts. The story goes that after one of their concerts all but
one of them took a shower together (single shower, all of them in it at the
same time). If this proves anything (even if it did happen) is left to the
reader to decide. As far as I can tell, no one really knows (thou Jordan does
wear a longer earring in the right ear than the left, at least occationally).
Isn't speculation a marvilous waste of time?

I cant comment on the truth of the matter, it *would* not surprise me;
however, when I was in high school in the late 1970s, I remember hearing
the same thread about Rod Stewart...perhaps this is a take off?

The chances are extremely good that this story is a major load of horse
sh*t. I remember this *exact* *same* *story* being told about Rod Stewart,
and I believe it was run on several other male singers as well.
Jordan's just the latest person to get saddled with this stupid story.

Can you say "urban myth?"
I thought so...
This damn story has appeared concerning Rod Stewart, George Michael,
Michael Jackson, Jordan Knight and probably many others that I haven't
heard. This fact alone should indicate that it is a myth, however, I
can offer another reason why this isn't true. Does anyone have first
hand experience with someone who has been hospitalized due to
consumption of too much semen? Let's be real, this sounds like a
story invented by someone who has never sucked a dick before.
Sorry to be crude, but this is getting ridiculous.

I really doubt it. I remember this exact same "urban legend" going around

Not 'The Kids in the Hall' Henry... 'New Kids on the Block'! The rumor
that Jordan Knight is gay has been running around for a long time now.
He denies it fervently, but who knows? Then again, who cares?
PS. The queer on Kids in the Hall is Scott Thompson, and he's got great
legs.

Besides the fact that everyone of these are on the

Better yet, does anyone just have first hand experience with these guys?

Hmmmm, I wonder why? Externalization of a fantasy, maybe?

It was the first time around, the second and now the third.
How about that time when Richard Gere was hopitalized
