Anyway, the guy (an excellent yoga teacher, by the way) is the ur-metrosexual. Unclear as to whether gay or not -- but I thought probably not.

Well, one time, he and I were talking and I said "hey my boyfriend in high school had that [rather unusual] name" (it was in context) and his response was, "Really? Me too! -- Ha ha, just kidding." So, whatever, I guess he's gay.

But then yesterday, he was mentioning a fiancee and how now he has a "child" because she has one.

So we are perplexed. We were thinking maybe he really meant his fiancee is a "he" and he was trying to throw us off the track.

Perhaps he was joking about the high school boyfriend? Big Ed's brother Big Earl is married, and sometimes makes jokes like that -- like the other day at happy hour. Wanda was complaining about how her boyfriend Jimmy the Kenworth driver had been seen at the Bada-Bing strip club, and Michelle a/k/a Big Edna said "men suck!" Big Earl said "not often enough," and we all laughed.

Or maybe Yoga Boy is bisexual. Heck, maybe Big Earl is. Or full on gay, and just hiding it. Hmmm.

To the question about why someone who is gay in TCOTU wouldn't be "out" (or would be reluctant about admitting it to oneself or one's oh-so-tolerant parents), I dunno. Maybe Dualit can enlighten us. If I had to guess, I'd say that even TCOTU has a few homophobes, and so some people just are private about it to avoid problems.

I wish. Sure, I'll take a nap in the middle of a group meeting, and am forever doing really stupid crap to waste time, when everyone else is breaking their balls to get stuff done. But I get caught, criticized, fired, etc.. Sam's Teflon, not me.

Oh, and I'm 6' 11" tall.

AoN, are there any male Texans on this board?

And are there any females from the NW?

I dunno. And why are you asking me?

Apro...uh, speaking of me, I need an avatar. Any suggestions?

One of my all time favorite ditties!

Help Me Make It Through the Yard (to "Take this Ribbon from My Hair")

Take the rosebush from my hair,
Lord, it has a lot of thorns,
What's the sprinkler doing on
At this hour of the morn?

Comin' home at five a.m.,
Lord, the sidewalk sure is hard,
Guess I drank too much again,
Help me make it through the yard.

I don't care what's right or wrong,
I'm too drunk to even stand,
I ain't asking your assistance,
But you're standing on my hand

Put some coffee on the stove,
And we'll try to start the car,
Let me get a breath of air
Help me make it through the yard.

Any of you midwesterners want to explain the allure of this delicacy?

Uh, no. We don't eat that shit here... While the freshness of our seafood is nothing to write home about, we tend to focus on the 4 basic food groups here --- deep dish pizza, sahsage, italian beef and beer.

Though some of the very rural areas apparently do eat that stuff. The one I heard about that really disgusts me is Snoots, aka barbequed pig snouts. I'll never understand that one.

Let's just cut to the flame wars and avoid the endless lyrics posts. The current thread is heading nowhere good.

Also, I've had clients tell me specifically to be an asshole with the other side, be pushy, be annoying. I don't know if that's unusual or not (or just a side effect of my being naturally reasonable and good natured 100% of the time), but I've seen it a lot. Clients pay us the big bucks, they want to see some fireworks - or at least use us to express their contempt for the other side's client without getting personally called on it.

Perhaps not incidentally, I've seen this have excellent results in negotiations - asshole lawyers can get others so pissed off, annoyed and distracted by the assholish personality issues that they lose their cool and aren't thinking straight, often giving a pass to comments made without asshole overtones and allowing us to walk through all kinds of shit while they grit their teeth over the bullshit the asshole is pissing them off about.

Then again, with the kind of stuff I do, anybody who says they have any particular experience that is very relevant to any given situation is pretty much full of shit - we're mostly making it all up as we go along, and he who wins is he who thinks best on his feet on 8 hours of sleep a week. Rattling techniques are more effective if no one has a clue what they are really looking at anyway.

I recently witnessed asshole behavior scuttle an otherwise easy deal. I think its generally counterproductive and really fucks over clients. I've had asshole clients tell me to do certain things and I generally tell them there's lot more to be gained at a better price with a carrot than a stick, but if you wanna pay me, fine.

So where do/don't I go in Chicago for excellent deep-dish pizza? My Chicago friends, bizarrely, don't eat pizza, so I will dine without them.
