So I've heard and it might be true but the stories of whore house
origination are widely accepted and more believable.

To this day, men practice Tango Argentino with men in the learning
phase. [Hatunen: stop reading -- too much information is imminent!]
Regardless of gender or primary dance r�le, one becomes a better
Leader or Follower by learning the other side. That doesn't
necessarily have to be with the same gender but, generally speaking,
the better Leaders are men and the better Followers are women.

A related, sort of, aside: there is a getnrified old adobe
building in downtown Tucson with a cery nice sign announcing it
is "Tango International". For a couple of years I wondered what
an international dance headquarters was doing ins such a small
building in Tucson. Then I finally gooogled it; it's "Technical
Assistance for NGOs", http://www.tangointernational.com/

This "evelyn" just doesn't resemble Nixon anyhow. Nixon wasn't lesbian.

Interestingly, apparently northern Ohio is in the south. At least I
remember Wilson's version from a rural area near Cleveland.

I'm from Warren, about 60 miles southeast of downtown Cleveland
and we also called it "Hide and go Seek". And called "Allee,
allee outsenfree" (that's what I thought it was). But Warren
exisgts in an area along the eastern border of Ohio that extends
doen to West Virginia and the area has quite a few language
variants, some of which go me laughed at in later years as I got
around the coutnry. I have now learned to say "creek" to rhyme
with "seek" rahter than saying "crick", and "roof" to rhyme with
"couth" instead of saying "ruoff" (that's the phonetic best I can
do, but it's kind of like a dog's bark). I no longer buy a sack
of groceries. I no longer apologize with a word that sounds like
the Asian item of dress, the "sari"t I still call my native state
"Ahya".

Ah. But I was almost in Lorain County. In fact, some of the kids I
played with were from there. Thus, at that time, the usage should have
included all of the Cleveland area.

I'm going to be renting an apt. in Madrid from a guy whose nickname is
"Nacho."

I thought that was a Mexican thing too.

Has one ever seen a less relevant thread to the subject of
the death penalty? Is there any question that Earl 'the
anti-Semite' Evelth, and Evelyn 'why can't I get a man?'
VogtGamble, belong together in their anti-American
raving?

Donna Evleth in a cry for help to AADP posted this comment --
"Earl's continuous, unrelenting anti-Americanism is a source
of ongoing embarrassment and pain to me and to others in
my family. However I have been to date completely
unsuccessful in my efforts to get him to stop." See -
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.a...8eb298ff86273e

While Earl remains stoically unmoved to the embarrassment
and pain he causes her.
