Besides the classic “Do you come here often?”, “What is your sign?” seems to serve as an opening to a conversation at the local or, more often, an out of town watering hole.
Generally those questions don’t result in a discussion of politics, current events, or religion. The basic motivation is to pick up an interested participant for some hopeful liaison more historically referred to as “hanky-panky.” This applies to everyone straight or gay.
In retrospect I must admit my fifty-some years of matrimony never afforded me any bar hopping time, and before those days I was underage and much too shy to venture out into the worldly world, straight or gay!
When Eros finally did rear his torrid head, there was no conversation just the signal of the adjacent rubbing knees in a darkened movie palace. So much for leading conversations. In this case actions spoke louder than words.
Last year I finally ventured into what was purported to be a gay bar with a very distraught friend who was recovering from a bad dream and some form of rejection. Nothing a double martini couldn’t remedy. End result, he got drunk and the Black Crown was over populated with women not of the LGBT persuasion.
With due respect to those of you “Horiscopians” from Aquarius to Capricorn, you may have something there with your crystal balls, but at the bar your contact probably doesn’t have time or the inclination for fortune telling and you need to get down to business.
But if you do run across an interested soul mate remind them of the Sunday, February 10th, 2013 birthday horoscope which concluded with the following:
“Use caution with over indulging. If you are attached, try to walk in your sweetie’s foot steps. Move often. Pisces draws you in. You enjoy his or her reverie.”
Now that’s on the right track!
