3. I didn't even notice it at first.
We sat down to eat, and Justin said "Mom - is that RUSH????? They're playing RUSH at a Mexican restaurant?????"

Go figure. :rofl:

24. You misunderstood my post.
I was being facetious about Canada being our enemy to the north.

You know I have a crush on Neil, so relax! :P

8. We went to a Chinese restaurant yesterday,
and they were playing Japanese music. The whole staff - including the chef - was Hispanic.

We were high, so the whole thing was incredibly funny .........................

15. It took forever - or so it seemed -
for all of it to dawn on us.

First I noticed the music, then he said, looking around, "There are no Chinese here."

After that, it was laugh until you cry time. We were shameless.............................

13. i saw them twice in concert when i was a teen, they aren't my favorite band but
they were the best concerts sound wise i've been to.

I don't care who does or does not like them, makes no difference in the quality of my daily life.


:D

17. HAHA! RUSH is my favorite band...
...and they are absolutely incredible in concert.

I also can understand why people don't like Geddy's voice.

18. I can't.
It's like not liking ice cream, donuts, or burritos. Rush is awesome!

In the basement bars, in the backs of cars
Eat nachos or be cast out.

20. No self respecting Mexican restaurant here would have Rush playing (or available) on their jukebox
It's true, all the songs on their jukebox sound the same, but none sound like Rush. :thumbsup:

I should add my favorite place in Tucson would not allow such a thing either...ask PiFan about Filibertos in Tucson. :P
(different style Mexican (Sonoran) than what's in California (Baja) --but good nevertheless!)

(these are mostly in Phoenix but there's one or two in Tucson)

Can I call you tonight? This weekend was off-the-charts crazy, and I didn't get to call you.

30. ...
Begin the meal with some chips and salsa,
A companion to pico de gallo
Order a margarita from the bar
And the chimichanga always tastes so good.
