another example of the gay liberal media pushing their agenda of acting gay, invading islamic nations, and opposing all sensible oversight of business and wall street.

That's an excellent point; still, I think Nothin' finally coming clean about "ever being free" is the story to keep the eye on here...

Nothin' used to try to pass itself off as having a relationship with freedom within the context of "freedom (being) just another word for nothin' left to lose" (and then Nothin' assumably tried to add "Nothin' ain't worth nothin' 'less it's free;" and then hypothetically tried to subterfuge that meaning with the relationship being "Nothin' ain't worth nothin' BUT it's free)...

In light of Nothin''s admission today, I think the whole correlation between free, and freedom, and Nothin' has been exposed as being worthy of excessive scrutiny regarding what the relationhip between Nothin', and free and freedom is, has always been and always will be.

I always thought his name was a dead give away.







I mean, come on -- "Cooper" ...really?! Could you be more obvious!?

I really don't care who he has sex with..

Why is it necessary to "come out" these days? I thought that "gay is okay."

What is and what should never be.

People often tell me that I look like Anderson Cooper. I wonder if they'll now quality their statement with "not that I mean anything bad by that."

Do a lot of guys offer to buy you drinks when you go drinking at the gay bar?

Because that happens to me a lot.

I look kinda like Bruce Willis.

Although in the past, I've heard Greg Kinnear too, and these days I hear Hugh Laurie (maybe because I tend to walk around unshaven).

Don't think we're gonna hear any of them announcing that they're gay anytime soon, though.

I'm going to open an establishment called The Gay Bar and see who shows up.

Are you going to style it in an 1890s theme?

I liked them hats and vests they wore in those days.

Good idea. With the straw boaters and the garters on the sleeves. Actually that whole era makes me a little queasy.

I don't know if you ever went to Bimbo's on Washington street in Ann Arbor, Byco, but my guess is you probably did at one time.

Back when I was a tike all the neighborhood parents took their kids there - they served this really cheap kind of food to make; this baked cheese bread with a kind of thickened marinara topping - that we little kids just couldn't get enough of of.

Anyway, there was this sort of ragtime band that always played there with banjos and the like and they wore those boater hats and they played "Bill Bailey" and "Let Me Call You Sweetheart" and songs of the good old days like that..

Did you ever go to Bimbo's?

I went to Bimbo's several times; it might have been the first bar I went to in Ann Arbor as a college student. I thought it was cool that you could just drop your peanut shells on the floor.

can't believe Ann Arbor had a place like that. they've really classed the place up since then.

It was horrific. People flinging legumes about like irresponsible Gibbons.

That was an awesome place. Never went to a more raucous bar on a Saturday after a game. I was bummed when it closed.

Sort of like the P-Bell and V-bell.

Institutions of higher learning. :cheers:

you have (had) a social life?

Unfortunately - "had" is the operative word. Now my social life is sports (watching/tailgating rather than playing), reading books, computer games, and an occasional bridge or chess tournament. I know pretty lame, but when it is all you get, you learn to enjoy it. Used to go to a concert a month - Billy Joel, Elton John, Bob Seger, Neil Diamond, David Sanborn, Three Dog Night, Chicago, and Styx/Boston/REO/Kansas/Journey whenever I could, but that is a thing of the past.

The Village Bell was an every Thursday night bar for years. It was a big Fraternity/Sorority hangout. I bartended there. Many friends that I had that were GDI's (God Damn Independents) were happy to see it replaced by Uno's. I think I mentioned this to MichLady once. I even have a table from the old Village Bell retrieved when it closed. The tables were special because you could carve your name etc. into them and were very well made and solid. It currently sits in my version of a man-cave.

Also going to Second Chance/Dooleys/Bimbo's used to be a quite a treat after games.

Ah . . . the memories.

I was even a Democrat (or at least voted that way) back then. Then I started paying income tax and everything changed. :*) Go figure!

I avoided the VB because of the asshole fratties there. Dooley's and Fraser's Pub were my hangouts.
