Is Our Good Friend Neil a HOMOPHONE? Zac Bares All!!!!!

The Heroin Den Referenced during the Escapades told below was on Lancaster Street.  Took a photo today Feb 2, 2022....it was thirty years ago...couldn't get a fix today....and I'm jones'n....NOT!  HA 

 

oh my God, it was Junkie Row back in the 1980s ...more like thirty five years ago....it really and truly looked like night of the living dead on Lancaster after 7 pm....

A music industry colleague of mine used "bare" instead of "bear" ...and unlike the internet grammar thing below, "bare"would make sense, if one happened to be making a porn flick.   So I corrected it for him (that usually pisses people off, no harm intended."   But when it comes to bare bears drinking beer, fatboy VP comes to mind, and throw in Dr. N.O. for good measure.

does Neil think that Zac bares in mind?

thinking right out of the gutter.   I swear to God, my HAND ON THE BIBLE , I do not have erotic thoughts of Zac Bears.  Or Scarpelli.  Or Chief Buckley, I AM NOT A CHUBBY CHASER

 Which is correct, bear in mind or bare in mind?

So bear is the correct spelling in the phrasal verbs bear down, bear out, and bear up. It’s also the correct word in the phrases bear down on, bear fruit, bear in mind, and bring to bear and in the common phrases grin and bear it and bear the brunt of. Bare wouldn’t make sense in any of these phrases or expressions.

  So if you were to say “bare in mind”, you would be telling someone to imagine someone else taking their clothes off, or think about them already being naked. Most of the time, this is not what we mean when we say “bear in mind”. “Bear” and “Beer” (joke....) are a perfect example of homophones.

HOMOPHONES, i just experienced a homo-cell-phone and it was most unpleasant, Neil.

I JUST BLOCKED ONE OF MY MANY EX BOYFRIENDS (THE ONE IN FLORIDA) FROM TEXTING ME.   HE STUPIDLY SENT A SPAM TEXT OUT OF SOME CUTE MEME OR SOMETHING, PEOPLE WERE FURIOUS, ESPECIALLY ME.   STACKS OF ADDRESSES I DON'T NEED ON MY PHONE

HE WANTS TO COME BACK AND MARRY ME, THAT IS NOT A JOKE.

 

YA THINK HE GOT THE MESSAGE WITH MY BLOCK?   HOMOPHONE INDEED.

DON'T BOTHER. I DON'T WANT YOU FEELING BADLY IF I'M NOT AT THE ALTAR.  

of course if I set the marriage up for Farmer Jones Adam Hurtubise to officiate that would be TRUE punishment for him,  N'est ce pas?

and I'm pretty sure he's one of our faithful readers...

 

"Bare in mind" or "Bear in mind": Here's the difference ...

homo this!

Adam H not K, give him the message, please... forget my number...one of our first dates was a big homo bash party at a Medford apartment building near Winthrop St. and Rte 16 *that big building when you take the right off 16 onto Winthrop rotary, right there on the right) with a very wild drag queen as the hostess, Vivian Vaughan or something (not that other drag queen on YouTube with the same name and certainly not our faithful reader Vivian Vance)....she was a delight...Medford history you really and truly need, right?   I'm giving him an innocent back rub and some blonde dude walks in and says "Oh, I'm sorry...."   He had a boyfriend! (Don't they all!)  ....that was like 1985....well they just split up last month (2021) 36 years later....but he's ok, I just don't want to be spammed by friends...he did save the day when that Narc was dating me (ya gotta love it,) I played Chet's Last Call, and old Chet was dealing smack from the bar, and you got my gay Narc boyfriend fixing my coat before I go onstage, not knowing it was the biggest heroin den in Boston.  They loved bragging that I go to an anti-drug Christian Science Church and have a residency there and they're dealing dope behind the counter, right?   (IT got so bad one night the chick collecting the money was nodding out AT THE DOOR - I said "Hey, Chet, why don't you put a sign on the sidewalk, "Heroin, 10 bucks, upstairs!") 

 

But anyway the Florida dude in question asked me to dance and got me away from the Narc, that's a LOOOONG story....oh, what the hell, I'm on a roll, have I told this one before?  The Narc (D.B.) says "We're going to meet new people tonight."  So Mr. Florida (not back then, of course) asks me to dance and DB goes berserk!   Careful what you wish for....  DB was lots of fun, if you know what I mean, but that was about it...

 

I have so many of these extremely gauche tales of depravity....keeps y'all reading....like a year later the Narc calls me "We could have been lovers..." ....right....not with you banging your minister that you lived with!    The six degrees of separation get even weirder with a bartender I ALMOST dated knowing his minister....and my girlfriend saying "Thank God you didn't, you dodged a bullet there...."  which we shall leave to your imagination....

Just found this photo last night.  Ms "I Love Gaiety" herself with famous WZLX djs Harvey and Paul.  Hard Rock Cafe...what, 1989? 1990? Those were the days...

Did she and I ever get into a LOT of trouble....I miss that girl....the only girl I would have married....and she wanted to marry me because unlike all the other guys I kept my paws off of her...As I say on stage during my shows "Our relationship did have it's problems, though. There was always SOME extremely handsome guy coming between us....a number of them...God I miss that girl...
