Letters to the Editor
Editor,
Excellent article in The City Paper, "Bar the Door." If accurate, almost unbelievable, to say the least.
Bar and nightclub "security" and bouncers randomly picking people up and physically throwing them out of the clubs seems exaggerated.
Then attacking them on the street without cause or provocation? Since I'm usually in bed by 10:00pm I haven't witnessed any trouble, especially at 2 a.m. "Last call" at 2 a.m. was always a rough time if my memory serves me correctly. Everyone is drunk and tired and become belligerent when the bar closes.
Unless these bars and clubs in question hire a bunch of apes from the zoo, they'll be sued blind and loose their liquor licenses.
Then passing a brilliant, comprehensive strategy, "Guns-N-Bars" legislation will only fuel the fire. If Nashville wishes to capture more of the tourist dollar and convention business, they'd better think long and hard of allowing loaded weapons into any place that serves alcohol.

Do the "barkeeps" keep a double barreled shotgun behind the bar in Nashville? Remember that scene in The Shootist? The barkeep got in a cheap shot in the back on our hero, John Wayne...Ron Howard then blew the barkeep's sh*t away....sounds like Nashville at closing time?
Nazix2: Ok then. It's far better than when people think of me: "Wonder where that assho*le is slumming now?"
Fun - Thanks for the link! My two main charities are St. Judes & Shriners. Donations to these 2 go to where it should. I definitely support children's charity organations.

St. Judes is awesome. i donate to those guys too.
another charity that makes sure the $$ goes where it should is Doctors Without Borders.
How about a Hibatchi? That's whatever the hell it is I use to grill.
And that Bush's Beans owner guy is a sissy.
I think (or know) Dr. (Senator) Frist went to Haiti during the earthqake and performed 100's of surgeries.
Someone was bad mouthing him last week on this board. Very bad karma.
Knew a woman that worked at the Jerry Lewis telethon, until she found out, the charity only get 5 cents out of $1, plus the celebrities ARE paid for their appearances. She, as a God Mother of a special needs child, had no reason for not telling the truth. I have never donated to that event, since.
dargent, i don't agree with Frist's politics but he is one hell of a doctor.
One of the best lines in the movie, "Airplane!" (besides "I am serious, and don't call me Shirley") was the two kids, and the little guy asks the little girl, "How do you take your coffee?"..."Black, like my men". The Farley Bros....some weird genes in that pool.

Yep! The dog is more believable than the guy, and that's not saying much. Besides, they don't taste anything like "real" baked beans.
Kosh, my C-tenor is quite rare, satin silver finish with plenty of patina. It's a subdued sound... kind of muffled in a charming sort of way, with a clip-on mic and the "echo" turned up, the C-horn's reputed shortcomings become manageable, IMO. I like the idea of not having to transpose from concert key when jamming with guitarists and keyboard players. When busking alone on the streets, I like the bigger B-flat tenor, with it's deeper timbre and more raucous, raspy bite....it takes a little more wind, but it's doable....for an old timer like me....my Baritone sax is a leaker and needs work... you need big lungs for that horn.
Once you've gone black, Bn......you know the rest. Me, I like round-bottomed MILF's....painted up and stuffed into designer jeans, complete with mini-muffin-top effect. High heels complete the desired slutty look.....trouble is, they are often cougars on the prowl.
dargent, i'm glad someone caught that!
nazix2: I agree. When I see blood or needles I run away, curl up on the floor, and cry like a baby.
Those 1st responders, Drs. to Haiti, were amputating limbs with a kitchen knife.
Dr. Frist was on camera and sounded in charge.
However, on FOX & Friends, he's a girly man.
Loner, that would definitely be a cougar on the prowl.
you know how to tell if a Southern gal is single, married or divorced?
single = skinny and pretty
married = overweight and unkempt
divorced = overweight with a lot of makeup and high heels
dargent, i have a lot of respect for the man. i just don't agree with him politically. the Frist family donates a lot to the community here.
Bush Beans look like a stool sample, IMO. Still, Bush Beans are better than Bush Presidents.
Doug wants to use the PC...I gotta go. I'll check the board later.
LOL, Bn.....are you divorced?
St. Judes is amazing. I'm always so grateful that we've never had to go there and donate. Ronald McDonald House does a great service too. It's expensive to travel with sick kids. Imagine a month-long hospital stay in another town?
Loner, never been married. no kids, no marriages, no divorces, no bankruptcies, no homicides....
i lead a pretty drama free life. simplier the better.
Funditto, i used to volunteer to cook at Ronald McDonald House. haven't done it in years, though. i thought about volunteering again. i can't relate to the parents who have sick children, but i can cook!

OK, since it's my day off and I've written more LTE's than Hemmingway.....
Best scene in Airplane!...a tie between: Leslie Neilson describing to Julie Haggerty the symtoms when you "eat the fish" and Peter Graves is exhibiting them all as he talks. And when Lloyd Bridges melts down and says, "Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue".
Cheech & Chong stuff, infantile, but funny as hell.
Nemo, did you ever see the t-shirt that looks like it's smeared with makeup and it says "I ran into Tammy Faye at the Mall"?
The "gay guy" is my favorite character in Airplane!.

House: It goes without saying. Just sayin'.
Blanket I still laught about that t-shirt.
so you've seen it too? i lmao when i first saw it!
have you ever seen the one of Jesus playing volleyball and it says Jesus Saves!
This is the scene from Airplane I like the best.

Blanket - Several years ago, I did see Tammy Faye at K-Mart in Hendersonville. All she had in the cart, you would never guess. Piles of make-up.
man, she goes for the cheap makeup at K-Mart?
Tammy Fay t-shirt
http://blogs.jobdig.com/wwds/files/2007/07/tf-tshirt-2.jpg
Blanket - Surprised me, too. Especially with all the "tax free" money that charity (smirk) hauls in. Bet she isn't 5ft. & her hair was almost taller than she was.
I have not seen the Jesus t-shirt but I will see if I can find it.
Nazix2: I cannot believe people still ask you about your marital/ kids status.
You told everyone last year you've never been married/ no kids.
And you won't sleep with anyone on the 1st date until at least the 3rd (German) beer.
Blanket Is this the one?

I just returned from Vegas and I saw Jan Crouch at Mandelay Bay with an entourage. Her hair really is pink. She was staggering.

Hey House "have you ever seen a grown man naked?"
Yes house. Have you?
no, Nemo. that's not it. 8~(
dargent, at least people quit accusing me of being a nazi!
bfra, who is the preacher woman on Sunday mornings with the ridiculous blonde hair?
What network, blanket?
not sure, Funditto. i have Comcost and i think it's channel 15 but i'm not sure.
Blanket - I don't watch religious shows on TV. Only see them while searching or if for some reason, they are in the News.
i just see her when i'm flipping channels on Sunday a.m.
she wears a ton of makeup and her hair is more riduculous than Tammy Faye's ever was.
