Braking News!!!
This was once a topic on my message board. It was really really funny, and there was once a time when I would check it every single day for new posts. Unfortunately, it reached the limit for posts on my message board, and was eventually deleted, but not before I saved it so people can read it now. This is also how Tuba's whole "Mush is Gay" thing really started (BTW, "Jeff" is really Tuba). I changed the format a little bit to fit it here, and had to delete the dates and times of the messages (this conversation was spread out over a few months), along with the links and email addresses because they didn't show up. I also deleted the posts that were on here twice in a row to save space. Otherwise, here's all the original posts:

Topic:   BRAKING NEWS!!! 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(GASP) MUSH IS......MUSH IS......GAY!!!!!!!

-JEFF
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mush is soooo not gay! You're just jealous of him Josh!

-Raven
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MY NAME IS JEFF!!!!! NOT JOSH!!!!!!! AND MUSH IS GAYER THAN A HEN PIE! WHY WOULD I BE JEALOUS OF HIM?? 

-JEFF   
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Of course you're jealous Josh! Everyone knows why too. Mush is a much better looking guy than you, so you're jealous, and you have to bash him to make yourself feel better. GET HELP, Josh! 

-Raven 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I AM NOT JEALOUS, ROLO!!! MUSH NEEDS TO GO ON A SUBWAY DIET, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHY I'M NOT JEALOUS, OK? AND ONE MORE THING. IF MUSH WASN'T GAY, THEN WHY DID HE WALK AROUND WITH HIS SHIRT OFF FOR ALL THE GUYS TO SEE?? 

-JEFF   
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay...hold on there Josh. He needs to go on a diet? I don't think so. Maybe your not jealous...you like Mush. Don't you? I knew it! Otherwise, why would you notice that he never wore his shirt? And how could you miss those abs?! Really now? They prolly turn you on. Hah! Luv Ya Josh!
(Of course, this means war!) 

-Raven   
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HEY, ROLO, NOW THAT'S GETTING PERSONAL!!! WHEN MUSH CAME ON THE SCREEN, I COVERED MY EYES. IT HURT TO LOOK AT HIM BECAUSE HE WASN'T WEARING A SHIRT. AND HE WASN'T WEARING A SHIRT BECAUSE HE WANTED THE GUYS TO NOTICE HIM. AND HE WANTED THE GUYS TO NOTICE HIM BECAUSE HE IS GAY. THAT IS RIGHT. HE LOVES OTHER MEN. DID YOU SEE HOW HARD HE LAUGHED AT JACK'S NOT-SO-FUNNY JOKE? AND DO YOU KNOW WHY HE WAS SLEEPING WITHOUT A SHIRT ON? HE GOT HOME LATE FROM A MEN'S STRIP CLUB AND WAS TOO TIRED TO PUT HIS CLOTHES BACK ON. PLUS, HE WAS HOPING THAT THE OTHER NEWSIES WOULD NOTICE HIM SO HE MIGHT FINALLY GET A BOYFRIEND. IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW. 

-JEFF 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jeese!!! Why are you obsessing over Mush, for Mike's sake?! Get a life, Josh. This war is officially over.
Buh-bye. 

-Raven
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HAHA!! I BEAT YOU ROLO! I WON THE WAR!!! AND YOU? YOU LOST!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I A-BEAT A-YOU-HOO. YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A ROLO!!! 

-JEFF  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


-Raven 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Look, i'm new here...but i agree w/ raven...mush is not gay! If u wanna know who's gay did u see davey?! he was SOOO checkin out Denton...i mean is that sick or what?! 

-DrunkMunky
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OH, GARSH. RAVEN, YOUR LACK OF RESPONSE HURTS ME. NOW, DRUNKMUNKEY, I AGREE WITH YOU ABOUT DAVEY. IT IS GROSS. HE AND DENTON LOVE EACH OTHER. THEY SHOULD GET MARRIED IN VEGAS AND ADOPT A FOREIGN EXCHANGE STUDENT. BUT ABOUT MUSH: HE'S SO GAY!!! WHAT'S MORE IMPORTANT? GAYNESS? OR SILLINESS? 

-JEFF
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, first of all, Jeff, ( who i'm pretty shure is a guy) why the heck would you be watching newsies, a musical all about guys anyways? And mush is totally not gay! And why do you call Raven Rolo? 

-Di
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dang, Jeff, If I had abs like Mush's I'd and I was a guy then I wouldn't be wearing my shirt either. But didn't you see in the beginning all the other guys that weren't wearing their shirts. And the lil pajama's they had looked soo gay. I wouldn't wanna wear those either! 

-DrunkMunky 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mush isn't gay just because he doesn't ware a shirt. If there newsies in the movie, and supposed to be poor, Mush obwiously doesn't have that much money. And who wants to walk around all of the time in the exact same shirt. It's just his character. And besides, if you hadn't noticed, most guys don't ware their shirts half the time anyways. 
-Di
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FIRST OFF, I AM A GIRL. JEFF IS SHORT FOR JEFFERY SKITTLESWORTH, WHICH IS A NICKNAME MY SISTER (SAROL) THOUGHT UP FOR ME TO SIGN HER GUESTBOOK AND MESSAGE BOARD, AND I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE NEAT TO HAVE A DIFFERENT NAME HERE, JUST LIKE SAROL SIGNS HER MESSAGES ELVIS. I AM ACTUALLY TUBA, WHO MADE THE SECTION TUBA'S THOUGHTS, WHICH IS ON THE SITE IF YOU WANT TO SEE IT.
SECOND OFF, I CALL RAVEN ROLO BECAUSE SHE CALLS ME JOSH, AND I WANT REVENGE BECAUSE SHE STINKS AT WATER BALLOONS.
THIRD OFF, MUSH'S NO SHIRT ISN'T THE WHOLE REASON WHY I THINK HE'S GAY. THERE'S ACTUALLY PLENTY MORE. HE HAS A HIGH VOICE, AND HE'S REALLY DUMB. HE HITS THE GUYS PLAYFULLY TOO MUCH. HE LAUGHS TOO MUCH WHEN JACK SAYS "ON ME BACK MUSH." THERE ARE JUST SO MANY THINGS THAT MAKE HIM SEEM GAY TO ME, THE SHIRT THING ISN'T EVEN AN ISSUE. 

-JEFF
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok, W/e Jeff. You have your opinions and i have mine. We'll keep it that way. No more fighting...lol..by the way ur page is cool 

-DrunkMunky
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You know what, everyone? I love all the newsies. And if any of them are gay, it's okay 'cause their still cuties. 

-Raven
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i'm sorry, but this is sad. i mean the fight between misty and tuba was ok, but then the rest of u came in and started bashing poor tuba. you are all mean people, except misty and tuba, now be nice. yes i'm guy and i have seen newsies, wanna know how, sarol had me watch it with her and some other friends. what is the problem with u peoples? 

-petey
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Haha! This is funny. I like this topic. Go Petey! (By the way, to all you guys who don't know us, Raven and Petey are my friends, otherwise known as Misty and Peter, and Jeff is my sister, otherwise known as Tuba or Tara. Hope that helps...) 

-Sarol...a.k.a. Elvis
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was not bashin tuba! She's one of my friends! Why would I??!! I told her that she had her opinions and I had mine and we'll keep it that way! 

-DrunkMunky
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Haha... don't worry about it Drunkmunky, we know Tubs is your friend and you weren't bashing her or whatever (If you didn't know that, she is. haha)... I just think maybe Petey didn't know that, and I'm actually pretty surprised that he even replied because he usually doesn't do stuff like that. So to shorten this up a bit, no 'fense to anyone ;) let's all be friends!!!
P.S. I'm a Mush lover myself, yes he's cute and everything, but you do have to admit that Tuba's got some valid points, when of course she's not rambling on about the shirt thing. Lol. Maybe he's not GAY, but he's definitely got a feminine side...haha 

-Sarol or Elvis, take your pick
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
haha, don't allll guys have a LITTLE bit of a feminine side??!! Some may show it a lil more tho...lol 

-DrunkMunky
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the *some show it more than others*, we'd just like to point at Mr. Rogers and start laughing.
From Tuba: Drunkmunky was cool, but Di was bashing!! I've just got one thing to say to you: I KNOW SANTA!!!!!
From Sarol: LOL. 

-Sarol and Tuba
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
haha, ya'll are crazy...that's all i've got to say! 

-DrunkMunky
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Um...Jeff...you REALLY dont have to type in CAPS LOCK!!! all the time. lol and Mush is sooo not gay! the director obviously wanted him to show his hot bod for all of us to see! lol

-Birdie
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
well...birdie if the director wanted mush's bod in there then would that mean the directors gay....? 

-DrunkMunky
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Haha!! I bet the director IS gay!! That explains the whole Denton/ Davey thing! And then you throw in how he wanted everyone to see Mush's hot body, and he's even gayer! 

-Sarol
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry to barge in on ur argument thingy. Actually, wouldn't that make the WRITER gay? He wrote the story. He was the one who wanted Mush with no shirt on, and the whole Davey'Denton thing. Don't get me wrong, I like Davey, I'm just sayin...

-Cocky
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
haha, exactly! So, let's get this straight, the writers gay, b/c he gets mush w/o the shirt and the the whole denton/davey thing. But was it the writer that started the denton/davey thing, or was that just some ppl that don't like newsies?? dun dun dunnnn....the plot thickens...haha sorry, i'm bored tho, gimme a break... 

-DrunkMunky
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Haha! Okay, I've got it. The writer was not only gay, he was also VERY VERY SNEAKY. He wove the gay little details into the plot, figuring no one would notice them anyway. But, Bill Pullman (Denton) and David Moscow (Davey) and Kenny Ortega (the director) were all gay anyway, so they noticed the details and brought them out even more! (Hence, Denton and Davey's romance, and how the director wanted Mush to leave his shirt off) This made it obvious for the cynical people who didn't like Newsies to pick out the gay details and spread them all over the internet!! 

-Sarol or Elvis!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXACTLY! That is great, now we all got this figured out! That was good, now another one. j/k lol i'm bored...

-Cocky
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok, we need a *NEW* conflict to figure out, u know Sarol u should make a page about conflicts in the movie, and then our answers to them! haha, that'd be funny, ok let's think....hmm....ok,why aren't their a lotta girls in the movie? there's only like 2! Shouldn't there be a few more than that?? 

-DrunkMunky
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ok, RIGHT after i posted the last thing i put up there i thought of an answer, the directors gay, like we said b4...DUH CARLIE?(not sarol, my name's carlie too! So i'm talkin to myself...) 

-DrunkMunky
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GREAT! SO GUYS, WE FIGURED IT OUT, WE SOLVED THE MYSTERY, LIFE'S GREAT, RIGHT? WRONG!!!!! IT'S A LITTLE SOMETHING THE FRENCH CALL...I DON'T KNOW WHAT. BUT IN ENGLISH, IT'S CALLED A SCANDAL. THE EDITOR. WHY DID HE NOT CATCH THE GAYNESS. IS HE GAY?? AND WHAT ABOUT ALL THE BLOOPERS HE LEFT IN THERE? WHY? WHY? WHY WOULD HE DO THAT? WAS HE TRYING TO SABOTAGE THE MOVIE? DID HE DO IT TO GET BACK AT DENTON FOR FALLING IN LOVE WITH DAVEY, WHEN HE WANTED DENTON?? OR WAS HE JUST TRYING TO MURDER KENNY ORTEGA? C'MON GUYS, WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?????? *SCARY MUSIC PLAYS* 

-JEFF
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ok, the editors gay too...or...maybe, he's just REALLY old, and he was once a newsie...and uh...i dunno...sumtin along the lines of that..OR he's just lazy and he didn't wanna fix it...?..dun dun dunnnnnn the plot thickens! 

-DrunkMunky
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think this is like...a consipiracy! (Sorry, I've got this thing with conspiracies) The writer (who, as we all know, was gay) wanted the story to be the way he wrote it (he wrote the bloopers in too) and not have anyone edit that stuff out. So he paid the editor to "not see" the mistakes and gayness. And then, for the first few years, no one noticed them, and the writer was very sad. So then, he started paying people on the internet to "notice" the mistakes and gayness and post them on their webpages! But still, assuming that the editor was once a newsie, why would he accept money to leave things in a movie about newsies? Wouldn't that make newsies seem weird, which would make him seem weird? Maybe he was insane as well. The money went straight to his head, and now he lives in a huge mansion in the middle of nowhere with an extremely large sticker collection. (sorry, Misty, I know that was your dream, but I borrowed it) I think something's up with this editor guy, and we should find out... 

-Sarol
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK SO EVERY THING IS GAY. RIGHT? NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO! WELL ALMOST EVERY THING THINK ABOUT THE SONGS PEOPLE! THINK HARD...........THINK IN TO THE KING O NEW YORK..............MUSH'S LINE PEOPLE..................."A PAIR OF NEW SHOES WID MATCHIN' LACES"........................IF HE WERNT GAY HED BE THINKIN'BOUT A GOIL! LETS THINK PEPS. MUSH+SHOES=? WHAT WHAT DOES IT EQUIL? GAY!!!!!!!!!!! 

-JEFF
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Huh, good point. I never thought of it that way. Girls are really into shoes. Hehe. The thing is though, think about the other things people wanted. A looooot of girls like him, so he could probably get a date if he wanted. He doesn't smoke, so he doesn't need cigars. He's not into races and stuff so he didn't want a permanent box at the sheepshead races. So since he has pretty much everything he wants, he had to wish for something stupid, like shoes. But then you have to wonder, why shoes? Why not something manly, like a power drill? Hehe, those are fun. 

-Sarol
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DANG IT! why do all the cute guys have to have such a strong feminine side?? IT'S JUST NOT FAIR! but WAIT! omg, ok, look, if he's fruity...then how could he have such a NICE body?? cause if he was fruity...he wouldn't go to the gym....but he OBVIOUSLY does..so BOOYAH! hahah...and he's mine gurls, don't even think about it! haha 

-DrunkMunky
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From Sarol: Nooooooooo! You can't have Mush! You can't have Heath or Jesse either! Maybe, if you're lucky though, Misty will share Danny DeVito with you...you'll have to ask her though.
From Tuba: Just because he goes to the gym doesn't mean he's not gay! Know why he GOES to the gym? TO LOOK AT MEN!!!!!!!! And as long as he's there, he figures he better work out to fit in and look natural! 

-Sarol and Tuba
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey man Mush isn;t gay hes cool and from my opinion and I'm a guy he isn't.lol haha gay...


-Jake
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Yesterday
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Considering Danny DeVito is the only guy I get, I'm not sharing. I guess my friends, soon to be ex-friends, don't think I can do any better than DeVito...well. I can! Just you wait and see! I'll get you all back...that's right!! Haha!!! Hahahahah! Ha!

-Raven 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actually, i was thinking, I haven't posted on here in ages. but no...i was really thinking, about this Mush thing you guys are going on about, if Mush is gay, how come in CTB, he sings 'met this goil last night...' I was just thinking. But I love Race, so whatever about Mush. *grins* bye.

-Cocky
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
omg omg omg omg....SHE'S RIGHT!! AHH HE'S MINE, CARLIE BACK OFF YOU ALREADY GOT HEATH AND JESSE!!!! lol, and if you take mush, then i'm automatically makin that carlie in the story meeeeeeeeeee! hahaha, so..NAH! lol

-DrunkMunky or PeNnYwIsE the KiLlEr CLOWN
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, yes. Yes, Mush met a girl. Doy! Let us think about this. If you are a girl who is not gay, you can still meet girls, eh? But, there is a trick to this matter. We're talking how Mush BECAME gay. He met this goil, who he fell in love with. But, she ran off with another guy. Heartbroken, Mush sat down and wept like there was no tomorrow. Then, he took a peak at what the other girl ran off with, and was instantly swept off his feet by the charming stranger. Hence, he became gay. And he didn't want to tell everyone he was gay right away because they'd make fun of him. So, he just said met this goil last night, and left out the details of the charming stranger. Now, the real question is: WHO IS THE CHARMING STRANGER???
