Greetings Assorted Workers Of All Stripes,
 
Just when you thought it was safe to start reading Powderworks...think again! What a strange thread this one is...
 
 "Well, you want people to like ya."
 
Dwight Yokem, upon hearing he had been voted Man of the Year by the Association of Gay Australian Cowboys.
 
On a straighter note, I found a picture of the Oils in a Social Studies textbook under the heading "Social Activism." They were playing in the grizzly-infested regions of coastal BC, but I didn't see any bears lurking in the bushes.

Well, perhaps they're learning it now.   But browsing a friend's bookshelf the other day I picked up "The Bear Handbook", a cute little volume modeled on "The Preppy Handbook", and lo and behold, on page 13, Necessary items to have on hand when trying to seduce an Aussie bear include tickets to see the Oils. 
 
I would not make this up.  I would, however, edit for decency.
 
For those of you who don't know, a "bear" is a term used to describe certain large hairy gay men.
 
Actually, this might be considered more flattering than the mention they got in Tim Winton's book "The Riders"
 
discuss.
Jess
