Yeah I live out here in West TX, so if there are any cool shows or places to drink we have to have them in basements, houses, and squats. We need a bar like you guys got.
 
Our rents are going down and our city is very blue, when they start burning the "heretics" out there you are welcome. :laugh:

Yeah we prolly should keep a lower profile here, but it's fun pissin off the rednecks. Anyway, Happy Bday, and drink one for me.

This is what happens when we don't keep a low profile: A friend of mine was killed for being "differant."


Marky out with Sharon
And Sharon got Sharice
She was sharing Sharon's outlook
On the Topic of disease.
Mikey had a facial scar and Bobby was a racist
They were all in love with dyin'
They were doing it in Texas
Tommy played piano like a kid out in the rain
Then he lost his leg in Dallas
He was dancing with a train
They were all in love with dyin'
They were drinking from a fountain
That was pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

CHORUS: I don't mind the sun sometimes
the images it shows
I can taste you on my lips
and smell you in my clothes
Cinammon and sugary
and softly spoken lies
You never know just how you look
through other peoples eyes

Some will die in hot pursuit
In fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
while sifting thru my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
and drink it from a fountain
that is pouring like an avalanche
coming down the mountain

CHORUS

Another Mikey took a knife
while arguing in traffic
Flipper died a natural death
he caught a nasty virus
Then there was the ever-present
football player rapist
They were all in love with dyin'
They were doing it in Texas
Polly caught a bullet
but it only hit his leg
well it should have been a better shot
and got him in the head

They were all in love with dyin'
They were drinking from a fountain
That was pouring like an avalanche
coming down the mountai

Yeah I always thought that song was relevant, and I've been a fan of Gibby Haynes for a long time. Thanks.

 
I really hope this country does not end in class warfare. But these jerks will not stop pushing. Anyhow I am going to get all upset on P&N again if I don't chill, I have lost friends to this sh1t and been attacked myself countless times. Please don't mind me if I step back for a moment. I am really, really, glad I moved away from that place.
I am really sorry about your bro. Someday they will get theirs. But all we can do is try to be honest and real to ourselves and keep one eye on them -they will eat their own sooner or later.
I remember spending my year and a half growing up in TX fighting rednecks daily in middle school -I have never seen such an ignorant bunch anywhere else in America.
(just happy in my knowledge that there are a few less teeth in rednecks heads out there becasue of my stay and their harrasment of someone different.)

Anyhow, this should be a happy thread sorry to go off like that folks.
 
Happy birthday! Unfortunately I haven't been in SF for a coupla years, and won't make it to the party.

<---- Willing to break anti-ATPN edict for the occasional birthday greeting

I'll be out of the country during that time, but I'll raise a glass to you on that day and wish you the best.

Going back to France for another visit, eh TLC? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Well you are always welcome Don. I for one thought you were one of the better posters around here, I can understand though, P&N irks me sometimes too. :beer:

Happy birthday, Steeplerot!!! And many more!

Your girlfriend has a bar? And here I am on the wrong coast. 🙁

Does she have any sisters? 🙂

While I won't be able to take you up on your most gracious offer, I will be sure to hoist a Gentleman Jack in honor of your birthday. :beer:

Cheers!

Sadly her sister in in TX.....going to school.
But trips to the airport to pick her up are always fun.
I remember right after the election I got to bitch at the people getting off her flight for reelecting W lol.
(I am sure they knew they were going to get sh1t for it here from someone.) 😉
"Welcome to San Francisco, nice job getting dumbo reelected."
Her sister told us that the guys in her dorm stayed up all night drinking on election night celebrating by themselves becasue the chicks voted for you know who! Cut off! :laugh:

Yes, I recall you bragging about this in another post. Harrassing people in cowboy hats at the airport, how open-minded of you

I really hope this country does not end in class warfare. But these jerks will not stop pushing. Anyhow I am going to get all upset on P&N again if I don't chill, I have lost friends to this sh1t and been attacked myself countless times.
How ironic.

Happy birthday. Maybe someday your actions will match your age. I'd still raise a beer with you. :beer:

No, it's something about being liberal at 20 and conservative at 40.

I guess it didn't take on me. I've been liberal all my life and I'm well over 40.

Steeplerot is one of the rare now 30 somethings that has his head screwed on straight.

DON'T LET YOUR OLD AGE CHANGE YOUR WORLDVIEW, STEEPLEROT.

You've got it right. 😉

I used to be conservative when I was in high school. Then I grew up and discovered the world doesn't revolve around me.

And once you've learned that then in a way it truly does. 😉

Actually, what made me lean more to the left was the birth of my first child. You start to think what kind of world you want your children to have as they're growing up and I started to lean a bit to the left, whereas I used to be more centrist.

Naw. That would be two of my younger brothers. They are heading out to Amsterdam and then for a visit around France. One of my brothers played the professional tennis circuit in Europe for a few years and wants to revisit some of his old haunts.

I'm leaving for Hong Kong next friday for a month.
