Am still in Philly.
Went to see the Star Wars exhibit at The Franklin Institute yesterday. I am not a fan. I can't even pretend to be a fan. The guys loved it though. I am convinced that if they would have been able to get away with it, we would have Luke's land cruiser. They got about twenty pictures of the thing. I'm not complaining mind you. I think that stealing that shit would have been fucking rad as hell. I just don't think that George Lucas would be thrilled.
We also saw what we thought were skinheads in this bar called Dirty Franks. I got excited because I am learning about the culture and think that actual skin heads, not racist morons, are awesome. Kinda hot as well...
Anyway, our friend Ethan saw them and started asking Ian about them. He wanted to know how you know if someone is a racist or a tradskin buy the way they are dressed. So Ian explained color meanings and the like.
One of the skinheads was wearing a Harrington jacket and the other had a flight jacket. Ian explained that he liked the flight jackets better. Talking about how his was covered in patches and buttons and how he loved it.
Anyway, at this point both of the skinheads had gotten up and gone outside for a smoke. On the way out Ethan had noticed a patch that one of them had on, Neither Ian or I noticed it because we were both busy. Ian explaining the skin head dressing style and myself checking out their asses as they walked away.
On their way back in Ian saw the patch. This is kinda what it looked like. Not exact but close enough that you will get the idea...
Yeah. Stupid boneheads walking around in the bar we were in. Not saying a word to us. They didn't need to. They walked by and saw Ian. Who even though he didn't have on his doc boots or his braces, they knew what he was. I've noticed that skinheads just know when they see another skinhead. Even if they are dressed differently. It was also obvious that Ian was not like them when they realized that his teeshirt had a logo for Tom Of Finland on it. Tom of Finland is a gay artist. We were on the outskirts of the gay neighborhoods in Philly. I don't thing that they wanted trouble because they got up and left maybe ten minutes later. Taking their girlfriends with them. As they left they looked at our table. I figure they they knew we knew what they were.
I don't think they were scared I just think that they didn't want trouble. Ian's entire body language changed after he saw that patch. As did mine and Ethan's. It may not mean anything to most people but that stupid little patch spoke volumes about who he was and who is friend was by association.
They looked proud of them selves as they left. Knowing that there was nothing we could do. They hadn't said a word to us about anything, shit one of them kept looking at me and smiling, and we weren't about to pick a fight with two boneheads and their girl friends who may or may not have been skinheads as well. They didn't look it as all but you never know with those freaks.
In other new, I am tired because I only got threeish hours of sleep.
Have a great Sunday. I am off to get my taxes done.
Peace.

I expect Rangers to drop points in the next few matches, but not many unless they choke on a fat one like Celtic did a few seasons ago.
This game was pretty much a mirror of the last part of this season.
Plenty of chances, dominating play but failing to convert...then in the 2nd half the team has no spark nothing happens and they lose.
It's a shame.
Really, Strachan can only save his job at this point by beating Rangers twice at Parkhead.
If Celtic look like shit in those games, he's gone (and he probably will be anyways if someone good comes available).
Anyway, yeah. Total dick thing to say.
