It may be correct to state that none of the dancers would have anything to do with gonzo .... er ..... as far as I know. :wink:

Gonzo can get into trouble enough on his own without help from you guys.
Done. And thank-you! Many proper Bostonians share your view that it is entirely inappropriate for the current Celtics regime to use such crass methods to attract fans to see the successors of such revered Celtics as Bob Cousy, Bill Russell and Larry Bird. I will say that these young women are immensely more attractive than the current team's won/loss record.

Whereas the one two to her right (our left) appears to have living, ectoplasmic hair.

Thank you. After 30 years of being invisible to this type of woman, gonzo has finally reached the stage where they can see him again. Now they open doors for him, and give him their seat on the bus, and call him "sir."

Tell us something.: Been a fluter, citternist, and uilleann piper; committed now to the way of the harp.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

Okay, I saw the show. I am now inoculated with a poetic, mystic dream of Celtic spirals and spandex and leather.

The dress of the women's chorus struck me oddly. Their busts looked like very mold-laden loaves. How like sodden loaves, thought I. Hot factor nil.

I have to say I passed out before I caught the piper's bit.

Manly? Twaddle. I was well into a bottle of Jameson, and couldn't control the remote any more.

Y'know, the more I see of Flatley's stage getups, the more I'm certain that he's into BDSM.

Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course. :wink:

It seems most of these 'celticy' type shows are all about how much pain these sadists can inflict upon the masses. And sadly, much of the masses eat it up. We live in such a cool world! When I grow up, I wanna be a lemming just like everybody else! ROTFLOL

Not only is that just wrong, it sends a horrid message to the world. I fear for the sessions to come.
I think it was just two of 'em, but they was snakin' around-n-stuff....Yeah, they would be a hit at any session. I would pay good money to see 'em in the same room with Royce and your other 10,000 Laker folken...
I must be bloody psychic. I heard the lament that it was bodhrán nite at the last Sunday session. Six...count 'em...SIX of the damned things with their monkeys to play them, and sod-all for musicians. A horror to contemplate. I'm glad I missed it. I tell ya, it's those awful Oirishy productions that glorify the bodhrán that are to blame for these crimes.

And worse yet: four of the bodhránistas were protegés of the other two. Protegés, if you can believe it. Not only is their verminous existence bad enough, they're breeding like stoats. And no, they don't play anything else. Argh. Argh. Argh.
