The Highway bros (Thompson and Renee Highway) used to be regular visitors to our local bear/leather hideyhole, The Toolbox.

GET OUT!!

Small country.

So, how doable were they? There's, regrettably, no author photo on the book, but a puckish Amerind bear is prominently featured on the cover.

"Doable" is so hard to pin down.

I did not find them physically attractive. But I know other people DID find them very attractive.

So. Does that make them doable?

[muckefuck.livejournal.com]

It's not a binary thing. Anyone is doable, up to a point. (The point at which you can't drink enough to make them attractive without passing out first.)

I found some pics of Tomson on the web and I'd probably need three (Canadian) beers before I'd do him. On the crackers scale: crackers.

[bitterlawngnome.livejournal.com]

So many questions.

1) where are the pictures? I couldn't find a one. According to the people who liked them, Renee was the prettier one.

2) crackers scale?

So few answers

(1) How were you searching? I did a Google image search and got plenty. The biggest cache is on some site funded with your tax dollars.

My attempts to find pics of the cuter of the two were met with dejection and ignonimous defeat.

(2) You know the expression "I wouldn't kick him out for eating crackers in bed."? Well, this led my first boyfriend and me to ask "What would you kick him out of bed for eating? Crackers and jelly? Crackers and kimchi? Crack?"

But I'd kick ol' Tomson out for eating crackers.

ah, it's cause I spelled it "Thompson".

BTW at the same time that T(h)om(p)son Highway was hanging at the Toolbox, Scott Thompson also used to go to Naked Nights. Legend has it that he stopped going when someone interrupted a tawdry little n-some he was involved with to get an autograph.

I eventually found his brother, too, once I discarded your spelling suggestion and went with "Rene" instead. I can see why people thought he was more attractive, but lithe dancers' bodies are not my thing.

So did (Micah) Barnes ever pop in to the Toolbox?

I can't imagine interrupting a celebrity engaged in a sex act for an autograph. That is so lame. Especially when, instead of waving around a glossy with a scribble anyone could've done you could quietly say "This spot on my shirt? Scott Thompson spooged on me."

I don't know what the correct spelling is (ie, the ones they themselves used) but the most popular seems to be Tomson and Rene Highway.

I suspect these were "sanitised" for the english-speaking (read: American) market.

Questions, questions, questions!

[muckefuck.livejournal.com]

What were sanitised? Tomson's plays? Rene's dances? Barnes' songs? Thompson's spooge? Or all of the above?
