On behalf of my city, HEY!!!
I’ve lived in Fort Worth for a number years and have yet to see cowboy boots on any of my neighbors. Nor would I classify any of them as wasp waisted cowpokes…
Cletus the slack-jawed yokel lives elsewhere. Just not in Fort Worth. I swear.
okay, maybe “ya’ll” has slipped out of my mouth once or twice…but not more than that. I swear…
Seriously, folks, anyone heard from Billdo in the last few days? He isn’t answering email, and my time is running out. And I was only kidding about making him buy all the drinks.
Best neighborhood for a StraightDoper is Oak Cliff, around Hampton and Illinois… Believe me, I’ve been there.
Doper or not, I would suggest a few blocks north (towards Stevens Park Golf Course). The Hampton and Illinois area is more commonly referred to as South Oak Cliff (and what a difference a word makes).
OK, the New York Night of Drinking and Tearful Farewells has been set as Tuesday, September 7. Time and location to be determined. Nominate your favorite watering hole here.
I’ll be there in spirits. Not a bad sort, really, for a running dog jackal of the ruling class.
Come to think of it, how hard would it be to bring along a laptop? Being a lumpenprole, the dives I hang out in don’t have wireless internet tech, but you, on the other hand…
Then we could all participate as you’re run out of tow…getting your glorious sendoff!
And Dallas gets another lawyer! That seems fair.
Time and location are no longer to be determined. Check here for details.
