Sorry, I guess I wasn't very clear. I meant that you watching Sex and the City was plausible. That's why it was a good misdirectionNanohedron wrote:It was a gamble, although not much of one.

Celtic (and now British) rip offs!
The originals and STILL the best!
If I've gotta watch any more plastic shamrock stuff come down the pipeline labeled as "celtic", all I can say is it DAMN well better be populated with several thousand of these:
Since I'm supposed to lust after these women - or at least that's the thrust put forth with this and all other celtic tiger type tripe, then I at least want to pick what they wear. If it's gonna be scanty, my vote is this. It's at least *SLIGHTLY* celtic. I mean, it's green and all that. Plus her hat tells me I'd get lucky with her. Shamrocks never lie.

Nyuk. Hey, the Christy Moore ain't a bad look. Do check out the vested ones on the teevee though. We can all dream we'll look like those lads and get the chixx.BrassBlower wrote:No pony here.missy wrote: Tom has a pony tail. His hair is about the same length as mine.

Well, of course I was joking. Just add the vested lads to the long list of the kind of guy who got the chix I never was nor will be while I did the wall-flower-best friend thing. As it turned out with the other Weekender, I did just fine; but it wasn't by the ponytail-black vest-pickup truck with dogs-captain of the football team- dreamy stare-Fabio-lookin' or any other number of permutations of hunkitude. I flunked hunk.

They're actually not that bad: a bunch of Aussies who played at David Gilmour's birthday party. The round screen in back looks familiar because it (along with most of the stage and crew) are the originals from PF's last tour. I think that gives you an idea of how well accepted these guys are by the originals.Brian Lee wrote:OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! FREAKING PINK FLOYD RIP OFFS NOW!!!

If you mean The Aussie Pink Floyd Show you would be correct in stating they're not bad - in fact, having just seen their show a month back here I would say they're pretty darn good. But they're playing songs of a different genre entirely. As for the screen, the Aussies do not use the same as Floyd did on their 1994 PULSE tour - theirs is smaller. Same with their mirror ball used during Comfortably Numb. Yet it was still a great show. As for this "celtic" production using a similar screen, it's just wrong! There should be laws!djm wrote:They're actually not that bad: a bunch of Aussies who played at David Gilmour's birthday party.

Oh yes, and their (Aussie Floyd's) vocalist could spank any one of these 'celtic' tarts with her 'Great Gig in the Sky'! I bet the fiddler could really twitch if they got her with one of those copper vapor lasers used in the Floyd show too! Mwaaa haaa haaa haaa (My best Dr. Evil laugh)

Gonzo would like to stress emphatically that he did not write that which is attributed to him in the above post, and he would also request that dwinterfield fix it post-haste.
Gonzo can get into trouble enough on his own without help from you guys.

HEY! Yet another rip off! Those were Flatley's dancers for his 'Lord of the Prance' and 'Toe Jams of Fire' tours. I know too that many of them were then also used (granted most held at gunpoint) in his smash follow up 'Celtic Liar'. Sadly, there was an unfortunate accident during the finale performance. Reportedly he had been warned about the dangers of dressing like a Mexi/Celt wrestler on stage countless times before.dwinterfield wrote: http://www.nba.com/celtics/dancers/
And even though he couldn't see well through his mask he went on to perform anyway. Sadly, he ended up at the wrong place on stage, and the intense lights reflected off his holographicly taped whistle/flute
and focused onto his freshly Armor All-ed pants.
The ensuing inferno
injured most of the first three rows. I understand that some of the surviving dancers went on to play music instead for this 'Celtic Puberty' show. Now I can't quite place it, but I wouldn't be supprised if a couple of them donned those black vests and a drum too. I know they sorta *look* like guys in the video....but they sure seem effeminate... I want to believe, I really do.
P.S. I would also like to catagorically state, that SO FAR AS I KNOW, Gonzo had nothing to do with the above mentioned dancers in any way. SO FAR AS I KNOW.
