    the people in the seats next to our group were leafing through the program and discovering that this show they'd paid to see was about *gasp* Teh Gayz. They sat in stony silence through the first half, and left at half time - squeezing past the gay couple in our group they'd been sitting next to for the last hour.

    Hee... the prim older couple sitting next to me at a screening of the Last Waltz... waiting patiently for the ballroom to kick in.

    (Although I was told frequently the Eagles were "exactly like the record" which might put them in Britneyworld, huh?).

    Hey, you don't mess with the Eagles, right?

    Anyway, their live album gave the lie to that one (unless they deliberately made that slightly different or something.)

    Me, my wife, my sister & her hubby (all of us in our 30s at the time) and my mum (somewhat older) went to see EMF at Vic University in the day, because my cousin from the Old Country was their roadie & got us tickets. My mum called me up to tell me "IBM are playing at the university tonight and we have tickets!". She lasted 6 songs or so, me & the missus the whole show, although all the songs sounded the same to me, except their one hit.

    And they were too loud. But I didn't tell them so.

    Anyway.... that's my anecdote....

    Dude, come on, we did lick it better afterwards.

    The pitchfork? I'm sure it appreciated that.

  • Random Play: All Apologies,

    on the balcony in Tabac trying to prove me wrong. I wasn't offended, I just thought he was a Very Big Male Chicken,
    Funny I was out late one night in town and I saw a VBMC, and I thought it was the drugs.

    Even funnier, in 1995, if you went to a certain "resort" cafe at Ban Mae Nam on Koh Samui, and asked for Big Chicken (you didn't have to specify gender), they gave you drugs in exchange for a paltry sum of money..

  • Hard News: Celebrity Gibberish,

    I thought celeb punishment was rehab.

    I thought it was appearing with Paul Henry & gig on Dancing with the Stars.

  • Hard News: Celebrity Gibberish,

    (although I think it's Corrections, not Justice who do the collection)

    It was Justice in the 1990s, Corrections only deal with those convicted of crimes. Perhaps it's changed since.
