Even though Smokin Joe hasn't been a fan of mine over the years, he does have good tastes in music.

TSO is comprised of a heavy metal all star team of sorts featuring members from Savatage,Megadeth, and Testament.

Don't know if I would go on a hooker board though for a Xmas show, but different strokes for different folks.

Who needs to pay someone to accompany them to TSO? Fuck, I'll go with you for free! Seriously, not being a dick, but you could easily get a civvy date to that venue in Austin.

Getting back on topic:

Humans are not primates and our social structures are more complex and multifaceted, as well as more dependent on cultural memory. But....

Pecking orders in primates have to do with access to mates and the distribution of limited resources, mainly food and good shelter. In primate groups mate access has consequences for reproductive success that everyone here carefully avoids succeeding at, but the question remains: who within our community has the greatest access to mates? Note that females are also embedded in the hierarchical matrix of primate groups, so their access to which status mates is also part of it. Are there other resources allocated through status on this board?

Another thing to note is that while social status is often evaluated based on how we feel about each other, pecking orders are more than popularity contests, they're contests for resource allocation. Being feared and/or respected only conveys actual influence if it has material consequences. Bluster is cheap, but who's got real power when it comes down to brass tacs? And who do they answer to?

Just to play Devil's advocate, it could be counter-argued that not bringing it up is not the same as denying it, and that, while there is a time and place for discussing it, a board catering to adult sexual fantasies is not it.

Dayum Centaur. There's so much good stuff there. I don't know where to start. Who places who in which pecking order? We think a lot about the ordering of women buy men. What about the ordering of men by women, men by men and women by women?

Thanks for reminding me about that night. Had a great time and fantastic memories. It led to an ongoing thing for a while.

What did you take to finally get rid of it?

My strategy has always been to make sure I've got my own well protected corn pile so I don't need to wangle for a spot in any damn line.

Many is the time I have trolled ISO looking for a last minute date to taco bell (my treat of course), and to take her for a little sugar plum fairy action...only to have her move away a couple of months later at the height of our love affair...

ISO just isn't what it used to be, huh?

It was a good show. Great lights, lasers, pyro, rock and roll. Love the string section. The dual keyboardist (sp?) are awesome. Lots of singers. I enjoy a good rock & roll show.
