It's nice that one of the funniest threads since the McDonaldland thread is at Tex's expense. Thanks for the human error man, it seems to have brightened many people's day.

My buddy hooked up his keg of Fosters "Dirty Bastard" tonight. Needless to say this has taken me much longer to write than it really should have. LOTS of typo's.

Gee, that's a surprise... I'm not surprised at all that he could possibly be like that. Heck, if you believe half of what Julian Lennon has to say, John was a prick.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 02:30 PM) Game 7 of the '97 playoffs.... Stupid Calc test. If that didn't go to extras, I would have missed the entire thing. I was at a wedding for the final game of the World Series that year. The videographer luckily had a TV on his camera (or on something) and he was bouncing between fimling the reception and watching the game! LOL!!! I think there were plenty of static camera shots during that reception.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 01:38 PM) KG, you must be talking about the 'Castro' district in SF, that's their predominantly gay area. THAT's the name!!! Yeah, get in that area, and you sure know it! Heck, I think the train thing (not the street cars, but the other thing, there version of the El) even makes a pass through there and it can be an eye opener. Even the advertising. But San Fran is such an awesome city. I would go back in a second. But I hate air travel, and next years plans are for Vegas for this: http://www.vivalasvegas.net/

She also LOVES to dance, so she goes there also knowing she can dance with all the guys she wants and knows that none of them will be after her for anything other than to dance.

LOL!!! Sure, but that was n '90 and it was not as accepted around these parts. By '94 when my band was doing more shows in Chicago, I was seeing more clubs and more "sights". I have never seen the inside of any of these clubs though. Now my sister on the other hand hangs at them quite often.

psst...Tex...the pink elephant rides the grey goose in the brown chicken saddle bag at 5PM on the eve of the wedded hogwinkle. Stay low man...stay low...

When I went there I was visting an ex-girlfriend. Yes, ex. at the time, but we remained friends for years. But on one of the nights she wanted to go see Front 242, so I bought her a ticket. I walked across the street from the club to a run down ex-porn house that was showing Bonnie & Clyde! So there I sat with my bucket of popcorn and large coke amongst a bunch of REAL interesting folks who were obviously renegades from the Porn house days. San Fran has a pretty strict "no smoking" attitude, but you would never have known it from this place. All of us smoking in the place, most of the people in there with fifths of booze. The whole place stunk of urine, cigarettes and booze. But the girl at the ticket booth was REAL cute. In seeing my friend, she was in college at the time. I had to be snuck into the dorm every night. That was fun. Different mindset in that town though. Open in all forms of thoughts, especially looks. Unless you looked like I did. I was told all the time I didn't fit in there, and that I should be in LA. I actually got numerous rude comments due to my looks. Though the girl at the ticket booth seemed to like me.

Fisherman's Warf was really cool. I didn't get to The Rock, due to it being closed for remodeling or something. I remember a club I drove by. It was a two story club, the entire front open pretty much. LOUD THUMPING MUSIC. People all over the place. The were all guys. It was the first time I had ever seen a club of such.

I'm not Jim, but San Fran is one of the only places I have traveled to. I was there back in '90 (yeah...man of the world I am), and I LOVED it. That city is great. Unbelievably clean. Even the homeless seem clean, and many of them polite. Street musicians every 100' or so, and most of them REALLY good. No kids with buckets there, not that I saw atleast. It's really a great city, just be sure to bring a jacket. I was an idiot. "I'm going to California in April" I thought. "Why would I need a jacket" I thought. Froze my friggin' ass off for 6 friggin' days.

I hope you all are doing the " " with root beer. Happy birthday to you! Get some sleep and don't worry about the Sox. Your life won't change that much (if at all) if they win or lose it all. But it will change if you get too "into it". Enjoy your day!!!

Interesting stuff...and kind of creepy at times.

My son (who is 2) really seemed to like it. He even asked me to play another song. So I understand exactly what this kid is on about.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 11:39 AM) Saturday 6:30 PM, no barricades, no workers, one sign in a merge area. I would never knowingly speed in a construction zone. Ah, yeah, I've ripped through those areas for years. Good luck to you and damn the torpedo's!!!

QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 11:37 AM) 12-year old, 3.6 million, I'm certain it will be an indie sound without much intrusion from Sony. What I mean is Church is an Opera singer. If he is something of the Opera Classical sort, cool. If he is some punk-assed hip-hop rapper/techno pop brat, then f*** them all.

Hmmm, being in the line of work that is effected by speeding in construction zones...how do I react to this...

...good...lord... I guess it isn't so bad if they thought to mail you the warrant instead of sending people to bust down your door.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 11:27 AM) :puke He better be something special. If he is nothing more than another f***ing Aaron Carter I will be REALLY disgusted by the music industry.

Between this story and all of the Man Soo stories, we have some killer people on that team, and even greater people in the stands. Nice story!

Yeah, but the Vegas boys basically said afterwards that these are wild animals and that is what they do. I don't think they ever claimed they should be domesticated. That is one of the things about these nuts, they knew they had fire at hand, and they did respect it, and even after the fact, they still respect it. Probably like some shark victims, they come away respecting the beast more. I believe the cat was put down, due to it having had the taste of blood, but I don't think they ever said that it wasn't their fault. I also agree that the people that are shocked by it are idiots, but I don't think they were ever "shocked" any more than anybody else watching a giant cat attacking your partner of umpteen years would be shocked. Heck, 2000 years of being domestic hasn't worked on many of the house cats I have seen!!!

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 10:42 AM) Is getting attacked by a tiger *really* an accident? EARTH TO SIGFRIED AND ROY: IT'S A WILD f***ING ANIMAL!!!!!! IF IT ATTACKS YOU, DON'T BE SHOCKED. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WILD f***ING ANIMALS DO: ATTACK s***! AND IF YOU ARE THE s*** THEY ARE ATTACKING DON'T EXPECT ANY PITY FROM ME!!!!! I don't think they ever were shocked, or surprised by it. It is also their job and there are people all over the world that work with critters of this sort that get attacked, and that don't get attacked. I would say it was an "accident", especially after all the years that they did this stuff.

I keep ending up late on these! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 10, 2005 -> 11:16 AM) RC is alive and well in the South where ordering a Royal Crown and Crown Royal is somewhat common As long as there are Mexican Fast Food Burrito joints, RC will always survive. Pay attention. Most of them offer RC.
