Git Along Lil Doggies
Laboratory Theater’s newest work is a meditative, cowboy dance-drama about the spiritual imprint of the windswept landscape of the American west. In an impressionistic narrative drawn from a variety of sources, two outlaws on the trail of an old adversary take work as jewel thieves for a washed up brothel madam. In a chance encounter with a traveling magician, they locate their enemy and conjure the violent forces of nature through sex-magic to take revenge. Thursday, October 14. 8 p.m. $18. 575 Metropolitan Avenue, The Brick Theater.
“he’s not going to be able to “destroy personal freedoms” and backtrack on social freedoms.”
Says you. What makes you think he won’t try?
Just answer the question, Cobble.
I need to interrupt the endless Blathering to ask Cobble a question.
I am going to take a look today at 107 Gates – Do you know this house? Good block?
“Self-hatred, cobblehiller, plain and simple.”
babs, You’ve hit the nail on the head, there.
DIBS, Unlike you, I don’t look at every man I see and wonder if I would sleep with him! : P
no self-hatred here.
*rob*
Lunatic fringe thinking, babs. he’s not going to be able to “destroy personal freedoms” and backtrack on social freedoms. that’s just utter nonsense. If I believed that I certainly wouldn’t vote for him. He’s not being elected “King.”
BTW, the primary reason I voted for Obama was his ability to elect Supreme Court justices.
Actually, *rob*, that wasn’t referring to you. I’d say your self-hatred has nothing to do with your sexual orientation.
wasder, there was no “Monday Links” but Philly got one. Who’s at the helm over there in Asshat Hill, anyway???????
>The situation at hand is who would make a better governor for NYS.
It is amazing how polarized people in this country have become, even when they are seemingly from similar upbringins and socio-economic status. To me it is amazing that educated, cultured, worldly individuals could even for a fraction of a second consider that people like Carl Paladino and his ilk should even be taken seriously, let alon believe they can actually competently run this state and country without destroying our personal freedoms and backtacking the social progress made over the last forty years.
