Or an “elephant hole”, for that matter?
LOLOL : D
Gotta admit, that’s pretty clever! I wonder how much they paid Bill Clinton to come up with it?
Sorry, I could not resist. [/redface]
Oh! Now I get it! I couldn’t understand the sign until I read the comments above. I didn’t read the second and third lines as a question, or even a separate sentence. I thought they comprised an adjective clause modifying “democrats.” Kinda puzzled me.
You’ll just have to trust me that most of Denver on average is a bit higher brow than both the Boheme and Wally there, above.
Some of us actually take this stuff seriously! (Despite appearances to the contrary).
Good for you, Kate. Unshakeable earnestness in the face of a silly joke on a strip club sign is a definite sign of high-browedness.
Hi Kate,
I think, deep down, we take it seriously too and just find a little humor here and there. When you actually think about the fact that our country has a peaceful change of power every four to eight years, it is a pretty momentous occasion.
Those of us who follow Lileks tend to have a certain joie de vivre, if you will.
Not a single person who reads this will take that photo seriously or think it is representative of Denver. : ) I didn’t.
And there are enough serious issues we will be facing in the next few months to last us many,many years.
A little humor never hurts ; )
Well put. Relax, smile. Lileks land is civil and laid back. We may disagree, but we can all have fun (and I think very highly of Denver - I know a lot of smart people there)
That’s no elephant, I’m just happy to see you.
What? Someone had to say it.
Kate: Why so serious?
rbj: And of course, there’s the joke about the blind men trying to identify an elephant. “I think it’s a snake!” “Me too!”
OP: “two tickets…la BOWHEEM?” “La bo-HEM. It’s an opera.”
But what does Robert Grant think of this post? We’re all dying to know!
Ditto, grond … there’s a reason that the Whistleblower comments are now moderated - they view him as a troll.
