On the topic of "It's Raining Men," my wife took me to a surprise 40th b-day party several years ago for a friend of hers. It was a gay guy who's significant other threw an insane bash - a pretend art showing, including renting a loft space and having fake employees guide them into the event.

Wife and I got very drunk there and had fun with the crowd you'd expect to be there. At one point, we were on the edge of the dance floor talking to the gay couple. She stepped away to get a drink and the DJ played that song. I've never seen a dance floor literally start raining men in my life until that moment. 50+ gay guys who were pretty sloshed just started going nuts all around me. It was funny for 10 second. And then a little unpleasant.

Because you wanted to dance too?

I don't know if anybody is going to make it through the 20 page Grantland article on improving the NHL, but here's an actual new idea on the old topic of draft position. I think it's great.

------------------
Here's how it works: The top draft positions will be awarded based on points earned after playoff elimination. Once a team is officially out of the playoff race, it starts the clock on amassing points toward its draft position. Bad teams still get an advantage (because they're eliminated earlier), but now the emphasis is on winning, not just on riding out the string. It's relatively simple, and it's brilliant.

You're telling me you wouldn't be excited the day the "no. 1 overall pick points" column appeared in the standings? If we were lucky, we could even have late-season showdowns for the top picks. And fans watching those games would actually be cheering for their own teams to win. Imagine that.

So "It's Raining Men" is the "I Will Survive" of gay dancefloors?

TR said...

Yes, Zman. It sure appeared that way.

On a related note, it's important to note that Clay Aiken is not the Barry Manilow of our generation. Barry Manilow is still the Barry Manilow of our generation.

We're getting a lot squared away here today. Did we determine who the hairy/veiny lady was in yesterday's post?

Danimal said...

when you google "hairy veiny pornstar" she doesn't magically appear. but lots of other stuff does!

TR said...

I don't see the hair or veins. I see other things. Two other things, but not hairy arms/legs or veins.

zman said...

Two fullsome, pillow-soft lips, right?

Danimal said...

Anybody else catch the first episode of Hard Knocks this week? They need to scale back the production and the melodrama. It felt like a Real Housewives episode, or so I'm told.

There was no real art, but real signage on the street and in the loft lobby. And two faux employees professionally posted themselves outside the building and at the base of the elevator bank.

And the Raining Men is more than one joke - they start the song playing Slayer's Raining (Reign in?) Blood.

I'm coming to you live from Tallahassee where I made the drive in less than 4.5 hours. Time for a drink. Excuse me, drinks.

Mark said...

I saw Hard Knocks. It was alright. I was hoping for some more time with Reggie Fucking Nelson.
