What a drag.

Ah… Bullwinkles.

I headed to the bars tonight with Mateo. First destination: Uncle E’s, where we caught the last 15 minutes of American Idol and watched the winner get crowned. The TV was then switched to “The Contender” where men without shirts were boxing each other to become champion. All the cute ones had apparently been eliminated. The three remaining contestants were never in the running for the beauty contests.

We then headed over to Bullwinkles for one of its famous Wednesday night drag shows.

It started at 11:30 GST (Gay Standard Time), which meant that the queens started dancing well after 11:45 when five of Bloomington and Indiana’s finest took to the stage.

Oddly, it reminded me that despite the fact that I used to live with a drag queen, I don’t really find drag that enchanting. I actually find it rather… dull and boring. I started to fall asleep while watching.

At the end of the show, I leaned over and told Mateo that my urge to see drag was now cured for at least another year. Mateo gently reminded me that I should judge all drag shows by the ones at Bulls.

How right he is, but that doesn’t mean I’ll start seeking them out.

    Apparently Bullwinkle’s isn’t the only amusement available in Bloomington these days.

    At least I VOLUNTEERED for the parachuting when I was doing it.

  • I should have guessed that somebody would have brought that up!

    It brought back my airborne school marching/morning run cadence memories.

    “I wanna be an airborne rodent…
    I wanna lead a life of danger..”

    Gosh those people were nuts. Except they said ranger where it says rodent. 🙂

    Army Rangers – The “N” stands for nowledge.

  • That N only stands for knowledge in Nebraska. They put it on the side of the football helmet!

    You’ve never heard of an Army Ranger calculator either. These guys think they are hard core or something, so they always have this stuff around.

    A Ranger caluculater is a hand. To add you count the number of fingers, to subtract you get a knife out and remove an appropriate amount of digits.

    They didn’t do this, but it just goes to show how nutty thier thinking is. Hence the “N” for nowledge. 🙂

    Sheesh, I need to spell check! I must need some caffeine or something.
