My friend Horatio (John, I changed your name for anonymity sake) and I went to the gym yesterday. I don't know what it is about men's locker rooms but I always feel a need to broadcast my conversations there. It is either an act of compensation or me trying to act casual in a place that makes me nervous. Not to mention the great acoustics in Locker Rooms. Had you been there this is what you would have heard:
Horatio: You know in Costa Rica the theme to McGyver is Rush's "Tom Sawyer"
Me: That song seems 'propriate, but you know the the protagonist in the lyrics of that song is not a virtuous person.
Horatio: "You know his mind is not for rent, when you got a government..."???
Me: Yeah, but how about, "today's Tom Sawyer, me, me, mine"
Horatio: "Me, me, Pride"!!
Me: Pride is not a good thing!
Horatio: Sometimes it is.
Me: Tell that to Oedipus.
Horatio: (Snickers)
Oedipus is the first example of bad pride I could come up with and its pretty lame and obscure. But, that's the way it was ladies and gentlemen. My point is that Costa Rica must have a much better developed sense of drama than we do here in the states where the theme to McGyver is... I don't even know what it is!! If it was Rush's "Tom Sawyer" you can bet I would remember it.
Have a great last week of summer!!!
