This is the Straydogs list. It's not a Tom Waits list. We don't take kindly to out-of-towners who don't like Tom Waits, though. They usually find themselves head first down a swamp with a sore arse. But this is not a Tom Waits list. It's the Straydogs list. If you are a Straydog - you either know you are or you don't - then come on in out of the cold. There's an unlimited supply of virtual booze and almost everyone here looks good in a hat. Have you been looking for an excuse to travel around the world to beat on things and burn umbrellas? If your answer is: a) YES - then come on in already; you're not expecting us to beg, are you? b) NO - then stay out. See if we care.
