Ann, glad that you can speak so expertly on behalf of (seemingly) all gay couples. That's certainly a relief. I didn't mean to imply that I don't understand the need for helmets with bull riding, just that it takes away from the macho image of it to some extent. Oh, I still think seeing some idiot who decides to strap themselves on top of an animal weighing close to a ton and not happy about it is pretty macho, albeit it ill-informed. A tiny little thing like a crash helmet and safety vest hardly spoil the image for me - they're still macho and idiotic (or is that redundant?). I assume you are being factitious about bike helmets. No. I have a really rebellious streak about having to wear them, which we do here up in British Columbia. You get fined and ticketed if you're not wearing a bike helmet. I think it's stupid. Soon, you'll have to wear a safety vest to walk down the sidewalk or get thrown in jail for unnecessarily endangering yourself. I don't like to be dictated to when it comes to my own safety. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <awoelflebater@...> wrote: ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <steve.sundur@...> wrote: Definitely moving in that direction. (-: Although, and not related, I do support MLB's decision to try to reduce those hard collisions at home plate. But, I will say, I can't quite get used to helmets for bull riding. Helmets for hockey? Okay, although I well remember they game being played without them. How about those safety vests for bull riding that they all now wear? Frankly, I think bull riders should be donning Michelin Man suits. Concussions are a big deal now and virtually everyone wears a helmet for most sports and so they should. Damaging your brain in the service of entertainment is hardly worth it. One thing I do have a problem with, however, is having to wear a bike helmet. I think of all the miles and hours I was atop a bike as a youngster and I never once fell on my head, as hard as that might be to believe. And okay, thrown out for discussion. I would guess that many gay couples may be uncomfortable with the fact that they can now marry in many places. I think you are guessing dead wrong. I am particularly thinking of my sister who has lived with her S.O. for many years. I have never discussed it with her, but I am not sure they would want to get married. Phew, you have never discussed this with your sister? But I wonder if it becomes a awkward decision for some gay couples, who might have wanted to stay just beneath the radar, and now a question might arise, "well why don't you now get married" No, no. Silly notion. And yes, I admit, the whole notion of people of the same sex getting married does strike me as a little odd. But I have no objections. Well, that's a relief. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mdixon.6569@...> wrote: Probably would do a smash-up Super Bowl half time show.

Okay, okay, you gotta admit, this sounds like a man trying to sound like a woman. A customer of our business is a transvestite, or maybe a man who just likes to cross dress. We saw him last week, and he sounded a lot like the guy on this recording. Also, I just came in from doing an errand, and they had the guy Judy was talking about, and he sounded just like a normal man. So, I'm not sure what the big hubub is about. I guess it is considered high art or something that a man can sing like a woman, and we should all oooh, and aaah, and shout Bravo! Bravo!. Evidently I am missing something.
