QUOTE (Some Half-Forgotten Stranger @ Mar 27 2010, 05:15 AM) QUOTE (Steevo @ Mar 27 2010, 02:57 AM) QUOTE (Earthshine @ Mar 27 2010, 12:59 PM)Indeed. Been to many alone. And actually I usually prefer it that way. I can sit where I want, take as much time as I want at the merchandise booth and act completely how I want (whether it is dancing or cheering or even crying or laughing). I usually wind up meeting complete strangers who love the same music. And I usually run into people that I only see a few times in a few years; always at these great shows of bands we love. It is great. Same here. All the best reasons to go alone. Same goes for me. One thing I enjoy about the concert experience is walking through the crowd during the breaks, socializing with people I know and running into friends I haven't seen in years. My wife, on the other hand, wants to stay where she's seated unless she goes to the restroom. As much as I want to enjoy a concert with my pretty wife, I enjoy it even more when I go by myself. Something usually happens to me when I'm going solo that makes me glad my wife wasn't there to see. Like the time at an Allman Brothers show in Tupelo when a teacher at my kids' high school grabbed my head, pulled me into her nice breasts and asked me remember them in the morning.

ZZ Top is coming here May 9. Tickets go on sale in about 35 minutes. Will I go? Eh, I don't know. Maybe I should just save my money in case another three-man band that's been around a long time goes on tour sometime this year.

QUOTE (Mara @ Mar 16 2010, 08:18 AM) Does the local evening news count? I was on during a pre-election segment on early voting for poll workers (I used to do this for the extra cash). I never would have thought to pay any attention except that I knew the crew was there. They aired footage of my butt in a voting booth. I've been a guest on our local TV station's morning and noon news shows. The programs devote a segment to upcoming community events, and a person representing the event organizer is interviewed. I appeared to promote a golf tournament fundraiser for the school district's teacher grants program. One time when I appeared on the morning program, I was hung over from an Allman Brothers/Lynyrd Skynyrd concert the night before. My head was buzzing when I arrived at the studio at 5 a.m. The show's co-host, a friend who knew I was going to the concert, took one look at me in the guest waiting area and said I looked like I had a good time at the show. He offered me some doughnuts, but I refused. It wouldn't have been pretty if it all came back up on live TV. I made it through the interview fine, though the bright studio lights made my head hurt even more. Later that morning, one of my fellow board members from the grants program complimented me on doing a good job on the interview, but she added that I looked like crap. (Side note: One year, the golf tournament was played the day after Rush's R30 opener in Nashville. I made it home from the show about 4 a.m., slept a couple of hours, and was on the course by 7). Other times I've been on TV include a roundtable sports talk program on a local cable channel and several appearances - ranging from sports anchor to audience member - on the student TV station when I was in college.

Dear bad back, Please go away. You've been bothering me ever since I was 13 when I landed hard on you on a football field. In case you've forgotten, your arrival caused me to lose feeling below my waist for a couple of hours. The doctors, who told me I came close to suffering permanent paralysis because of the injury, said you would be with me the rest of my life. I've managed to live almost 34 years with you, but you seem bent nowadays to make my life even more miserable. And don't give me this "get-your-fat-ass-in-the-gym-and-go-on-a-diet" business. You were bothering me back when I was a leaner young man. You've been a pain, bad back. Take a hike, OK? Insincerely yours, TB

I watched it mainly to see Sandra Bullock win. The woman she portrayed, Leigh Anne Tuohy, was in the audience looking as beautiful as she did when she was an Ole Miss cheerleader in the early '80s.

QUOTE (treeduck @ Mar 8 2010, 02:57 AM) One thing I will say Kathryn Bigelow is hot for 58, I thought it was Liz Hurley picking up the award for best dress in a clevage-supporting role... I agree with you about Bigelow. It blew my mind when I looked up her age.

QUOTE (Alex @ Mar 8 2010, 12:08 AM) Tonight's Oscars were very good. Everyone won exactly where they should have. Except for Sandra Bullock. That one is sketchy. I think Bullock was the favorite to win tonight, having already won the Golden Globe and the SAG awards for Best Actress this year.

QUOTE (Janie @ Mar 4 2010, 11:17 AM) QUOTE (tupelobarchetta @ Mar 3 2010, 01:47 PM) Dear Naughty Schoolgirl Outfit, Ever since I put you in a Victoria's Secret bag and left you in a spot where my wife could find her surprise Valentine gift from a "secret admirer," I've been waiting for your debut. It was me who picked you out and paid for your freedom to become the naughty schoolgirl outfit you were made in China to be. But there you are, still stashed away somewhere in her clothes dresser. Hopefully, someday, my wife - a 46-year-old woman who looks sexier now than she did 20-odd years ago - will slip on your plaid miniskirt and your white halter top with the "Hustler Girls School" logo on the left breast. And when you finally break free from the bondage of being stuffed next to my wife's pajamas and work undergarments, I will be the happiest man alive. You will take your place among my wife's finest lingerie along with her French maid outfit, her red and black corset, and the always popular green g-string bikini. I must warn you -- You'll have to tolerate the loud and disturbing sounds of Nickelback, for my wife likes to dance to that "music." I figure she'll want to do that while wearing you. But knowing you, you'll make the best out of a tough situation. You didn't become a naughty schoolgirl outfit just by shakin' hands. Be patient, my friend. Your day will come. Sincerely yours, TB Dear TB, Signed, Hoping You Get Your Wish Soon P.S. Perhaps the Naughty Schoolgirl outfit it waiting for the Principal outfit? Dear Hoping You Get Your Wish Soon, When the naughty schoolgirl outfit appears, it will have a closed-door meeting with the principal and the "board" of education. Your friend, TB
