@realjohnboy,
I think that might be the same place he played last year (maybe the year before) ... which is like on the complete other side of town from me.

I find that you were right the first time.

Are you sure of your coordinates?

While you're there, I think I left my reading glasses somewhere near 8:30.

AndyClubber from somewhere between Scottsdale and San Francisco:
Detroit
Buffalo
Minnesota
New Orleans
Baltimore
Cleveland
NY Jets
Pittsburgh
Washington
Green Bay
Dallas
New England
Houston
Denver
Philadelphia
NY Giants (24-14)

"Welcome to Texas"
The band had 2 days off and stayed at the home of friends in San Antonio. They slept, Andy (a fitness freak) ran a lot, they ate well for a change, and slept some more.
Jordan, the drummer, took a shower and went outside to call his mom. He sat on the curb in front of the house. Two police cars pulled up with lights flashing. The police didn't buy his explanation of why he was there and he admits that after he got a bit snippy about having to spread eagle against a car, he got cuffed. His ID was in the house, but the police were not particularly interested in pursuing that. They wanted to know why his hair was wet (shower?) and why he wasn't wearing shoes. Why wasn't he wearing shoes, they asked repeatedly.
Finally Jordon and the police came to the door and asked for the other folks to find Jordon's ID. They couldn't find it so eventually one of the policemen came in and Jordon was able to produce it and he was set free. The policeman snarled "Welcome to Texas" on the way out the door.

@realjohnboy,
Oy vey. Wet hair and no shoes, that is always a sign of a trouble causer...

One of the things I've gotten rid of in life is a hair dryer. It'll dry on its own.

I may face up to the responsibility of choosing my teams for the week today.
Or, tomorrow.

@Ticomaya,
Why you're so snooty with anybody you can't patronise. It's obvious you are one well-heeled dude who believes it's due to your own superior talents.

It's a long way, artistically, from that rather odd story to the Sex Pistols John.

I take exception to that.

I can patronize anybody I want.

@Ticomaya,
... and in any case, I was snooty WELL before I moved to Arizona a few years ago.

But it's an interesting observation from you, and it's given me pause ... is it your upbringing that shapes you, or is your make-up more a function of the municipality where you live?

I don't know what town you live in, Spendi, otherwise I could search to see if it has a reputation for rearing drunken misogynists.

@Ticomaya,
It has in the sense you mean misogynist. But it's a strange term Tico and you should beware of using it. It can be turned round on you. It simply makes a claim to know the best way to handle women and usually turns out to be the way that best suits men.

Uxoriousness is invariably just a method. A manipulation.

But Auberon Waugh, of blessed memory, did say that the more a dinner guest spoke of his honesty the faster they counted the spoons.

The question of what causes one to be as one is is not one that is easily answered. I'm not sure if it ever can be. A lot of people make a nice living out of trying to answer it. I wonder what caused them to get like that.

@spendius,
I have no idea to what dictionary you are referring, but just to be clear, this is the meaning I ascribe to the term: MISOGYNIST.

I was once accused by a member of this forum of being a misogynist, merely because of the avatar I have chosen. I think it's far better to be accused because of the city you live in.

@Ticomaya,
Well Tico--I am quite confident that the women I have known would never have guessed that I hate women. I have no need to even order my beer when I walk in the pub. All the barmaids start pumping it as soon as they see me. Last night in fact my pint was ready on the bar as Stephanie had seen me approaching through the window.


Dictionaries are a bit crude by necessity. They haven't the space for nuance and there's enough of that in this subject to fill millions of books.
