During major sporting events, we’re all used to the “friendly” bets between the mayors of the competing towns: Mayor X will wear a cheese hat if his team loses, and Mayor Y will ride to council meetings on horseback for a week.
But now the gays are at it — and not just the publishers of LGBT newspapers.
The Turtle Creek Chorale has a wager going with the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus over the eventual outcome of the Rangers-Giants series. The bet: The artistic director of the chorus in the losing team’s city will have to wear the other chorus’ garb — whatever that might be — for a rehearsal to be taped and provided to the winner chorus, and maybe even sing a pro-winner song. And as you can imagine, the gays are taking it seriously. “Bring it!” taunts the Frisco team on their Facebook page. “Fear the Beard!”
Calling San Francisco a name as deplorable as “Frisco” is like the scratching a chalk board to the ears of the city’s natives.
Ummm, Sean…. DUH! I’m from Dallas. Trying to irk Friscans.
LOL! Well, I thought it couldn’t be done, but it seems you now have my attention on this , um ~ oh yes, baseball game. Let the games begin! [And how about this wager, Arnold Wayne Jones: If the Giants win, you will have to write a wonderful article about San Francisco and not use … those partial words such as
“Fr_ _ _ O” in the article at all, but you have to use the full city name San Francisco. A deal?]]
I’m thinking Palant in something Burlesque could be fun!
