I'm trying to remember the last time I was actually in a gay bar. I met a friend who was visiting from out of town at a little neighborhood bar around the corner back in January, but it's not specifically a gay bar, though it has a large gay clientele. I just don't go out much any more.

I live in a town of Long Island that has tons of bars where folks from all over come to hang out... when people ask where I hang out, I'm always like, "Um, Starbucks or the cupcake place"...

"Cupcake's Place." It has a nice ring to it, bar-wise. I wonder if I could rehab my garage to accommodate a piano...

there apparently was a drug dealer nicknamed Cupcake in the town I lived in around 2002-2005. I didn't know him, but the cops at one point thought a friend of mine was he. I was tempted to write a play, a mistaken-identity comedy, called "I'm Not Cupcake."

The early '80s cartoon Fonz and the Happy Days Gang was, of course, based on Happy Days. In it Fonzie, Richie and Ralph (voiced by Henry Winkler, Ron Howard and Donny Most) traveled through time in a time machine with a girl from the future named Cupcake (voiced by Didi Conn). She had magic powers that frequently went haywire. Also featured was Fonzie's anthropomorphic dog, Mr. Cool. The Fonz's finger snaps and "technical taps" became a sort of telekinesis.
It was as bad as it sounds.

Nothing could be as bad as that sounds. Unless it was that Osmond Brothers cartoon where their Japanese dog mascot spoke broken English all the time.

There were a few bad Asian characters on Saturday morning.
There were the Chinese pandas Ping & Pong on the Brady Kids. Although the Brady Kids did feature Wonder Woman and Superman in separate episodes.
And then there was The Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan Although I remember them having the kids (the Chan Clan) acting and sounding like American kids. But I am sure if I saw it again, I'd see some stereotypiing.
