Homosexual Related Question.....or (HRQ)

[dhinojosa]

Hahaha. I am just making up acronyms.

In El Paso there is a gay bar called "San Antonio Mining Company" (don't if it is still ther), and here in Albuquerque there is a gay nightclub called "Albuquerque Mining Company". I don't know if it just coincidence or not, but is there something about the term "mining company" that a straight guy like me has no idea about?

[Richardo]

1. Funny - that's the name of the nose-picker's bar here in Houston...

Not really. I got nuthin' :shrug:

[dhinojosa]

18. Say, you wanna....hold on....

....dance?

[gmoney]

2. Everybody Dance Now

Bart: Dad, why did you bring me to a gay steel mill?
Homer: I don't know!

(for some reason, that just seemed appropriate)

[Richardo]

3. I love that scene...

"Hot stuff! Comin' through!" :rofl:

[dhinojosa]

4. haha. We work hard we play hard. nt

[bicentennial_baby]

6. great episode!

hahahahaha :rofl:

[gmoney]

20. Bonjour mon amie!

Comment allez-vous? Is the knee back to normal yet?

Hope you're having a great time and learning a lot.

Au revoir!

5. The owners own both locations and are making a chain.

Maybe they have the hots for miners with their buff bodies and muscular arms and deliciously tiny waists with those big codpieces...

Dunno. I don't know of "mining company" that has any culture-related connotation.

[sui generis]

7. Gay 101

There are "S & M" bars
stands for Stand & Model, or "Sneakers & Makeup", has nothing to do with BDSM. These are actually pretty "mainstream" as far as the gay community is concerned, and in larger cities are rarely 100% gay.

There are "Wrinkle" bars where older mentors go to meet younger enterpreneurs

There are "Hustler" bars where younger enterpreneurs go to meet older mentors

There are Twinky bars, where the crowd is much closer to the legal drinking age

There are Leather bars, where you will likely encounter denim, chaps, and buttless chaps (should you encounter)

There are "denim" bars - "Mining" companies are usually synonymous with poorly lit establishments usually frequented by hairier denizens

Bear bars ("hairy")

Other self evident bars:

Piano
Lipstick Lesbian
Drag
Diesel Dyke
Stripper

and of course, the Dance Club or Disco.

anyone else - have I missed anything?

[Misunderestimator]

9. ?

There are Diesel Dyke and Lipstick Lesbian bars? :shrug:

Seriously... I have never in my life heard of a lesbian bar referred to in that way.

[sui generis]

21. Jugs & Sue Ellen's in Dallas

respectively

I think we're a lot more casual / self-mocking down here. Some things that are just ordinary common vernacular here in the Dallas community make people gasp everywhere else!

Anyway, this is all in fun, not to offend :hi:

dhinojosa I do not recommend walking down Cedar Springs asking anyone where the nearest "diesel dyke" bar is unless you want to be someone's hood ornament, possibly on a diesel truck. This is just "insider" speak among friends.

;)

[Misunderestimator]

22. I've been to those bars... actually...

I just had never heard any bars referred to as a "diesel dyke" bar... Dyke bars I've heard, Femme bars, Butch/Femme bars, etc... just never diesel dyke or lipstick lesbian.

And I know you didn't mean to offend... :hi:

(And, having grown up in Dallas... I hear you on the vernacular ;))

[WCGreen]

24. What the hell is a diesel dyke

[Misunderestimator]

27. It's always been a negative term ...

I suppose some gay women embrace it, but I hate the term. Basically comparing a "butch" gay woman to a (male) truckdriver.

[WCGreen]

29. Oh I get it.....

All these sub genre's in every acpect of life......

We are hooked on adjectives....

[WCGreen]

10. Is there a remedial class......

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

12. Yeah, just plain bars?

We have those in NY, at least.

[sui generis]

16. Uncle Charlies

Sneakers & Makeup
Stand & Model

OH!!!! I FORGOT. Cha cha bars. :evilgrin:

Yeah, you're right. There are neighborhood hole-in-walls; I remember well from my years there.

[ronnykmarshall]

28. Here in LA

we have "Botox Bars", "Facelift Bars", "My Agent Says I Should Come Here and Be Seen Bars" and the most popular "I Spend More Money On My New BMW So I Can Piss Off My Six Roomates in My Two Bed Room Apartment Bars".

:silly:

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

31. One Potato, Two Potato....

more of a dark place to spread HIV than a bar, although there is a bar in there somewhere.

[terrya]

8. There was (is?) a bar in Dallas called Throckmortons Mining Company.

And it was...just a gay bar. No big deal. I guess it's just a coincidence.

[sui generis]

23. drag queen mud wrestling? National Bear Week?

It's still there . . .;)

a nice melange of the community . . . we are all about color!

[dhinojosa]

25. LMAO! National Bear Week?

"Sounds fascinating, where do I join"

[WCGreen]

11. Could be where you go to get the "Shaft" ; )

[Misunderestimator]

13. "Mining Company" is just common in the southwest... nothing gay about it.

or at least not that I've ever heard. I've been to restaurants in Texas that having "Mining Company" in the name... not gay.

[bertha katzenengel]

14. There's a gay bar in Long Beach, CA, called "The Mine Shaft"

:shrug:

Lots of other gay bars in Long Beach without such names. I don't think the term "mining" as a sexual euphemism (however disgusting) is limited to guys.

[Misunderestimator]

15. Well, now, shaft is a bit different...

:rofl:

[bertha katzenengel]

19. Good point.

You got me there.

Fortunately, the friend who liked to take me out for a beer preferred The Brit. I don't think I ever saw a single woman at the Mine Shaft.

[Napoleon Dynamite]

17. There is/was a Montrose Mining Company in Houston

I'm gay, but I have no idea what the Mining Company thing is all about. Actually I was straight until yesterday when I saw a pic of Taverner. After that, I had to convert. It is a decision you know.

[ronnykmarshall]

26. If I tell you .....

you'll be converted.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

32. But, but... I thought that was the agenda?

Aren't you signed up to support the agenda?

[AntiCoup2K4]

30. Does that mean this is a gay pizza joint?

Oh, wait a minute.... that would be this one:
Dirty Dave's Gay Nineties Pizza Parlor Lacey
3939 Martin Way E
Olympia, WA 98506 - 5219
