  1. Villechaize Doris Dog Show ???? Or is it Tattoo, Day, Show ?
  2. Here's his 'popular' one: Don't Let Them Take You Down. Yes paw, I actually bought his album on itunes! (There's some fine guitar work here as well)
  3. Here's a "new" guy I've been listening to... remember, "new" to me could mean within the last 5 years, but I think he's fairly recent... his name is Jesse Malin, the song is "Broken Radio"
  4. Yes GSG, you are correct! I cannot believe that we don't have any Jeopardy fans here...
  5. The Value of Drink "Sometimes when I reflect back on all the wine I drink I feel shame. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the vineyards and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this wine, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, "It is better that I drink this wine and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver." ~ Jack Handy (I thought of Tonto when I read that... keep up the good work Tonto!) WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may leave you wondering what the hell happened to your bra and panties. "I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day. "! ~Frank Sinatra WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may create the illusion that you are tougher, smarter, faster and better looking than most people. "When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading." ~ Henny Youngman WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may lead you to think people are laughing WITH you. "24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? I think not." ~ Stephen Wright WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may cause you to think you can sing. "When we drink, we get drunk. When we get drunk, we fall asleep. When we fall asleep, we commit no sin. When we commit no sin, we go to heaven. So, let's all get drunk and go to heaven!" ~ Brian O'Rourke WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may cause pregnancy. "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." ~ Benjamin Franklin WARNING: The consumption of alcohol is a major factor in dancing like an idiot. "Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza." ~Dave Barry WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may cause you to tell your friends over and over again that you love them. To some it's a six-pack, to me it's a Support Group. Salvation in a can! ~ Dave Howell WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may make you think you can logically converse with members of the opposite sex without spitting. And saving the best for last, as explained by Cliff Clavin, of Cheers. One afternoon at Cheers, Cliff Clavin was explaining the Buffalo Theory to his buddy Norm. Here's how it went: "Well ya see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may make you think you are whispering when you are not! This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers."
  6. Supergroup? ...I think we know the answer to that question... (you might have to up the volume a little)
  7. apologies to Winwood & Spencer Davis Group fans... but I liked this version better...
  8. Harry's songs probably occupy 8 out of the top ten spots of my (non-Beatle) 'all-time favorites'... this one is probably number one for me... A Better Place To Be
  9. Take a few minutes off...
  10. well then, that means I'm not a day late! ...happening day to you anyway young lady!
  11. what if you figured out that the clues were: Jeep Party ?????
  12. you're welcome dear... why are you posting whilst stuck in Houston traffic? myseestorEx10, you need to turn the son onto the Marillion I left you...
  13. you've heard of this... it's been on TV since you were a youngster... Two one word clues. You have each of the words in your first guess... one word from each clue.
  14. I knew it! ...go ahead and answer ...please?
  15. Not much airplay for this one so I'll give the entire first stanza... I'm betting on you guys! (and gals... cuz I'm sure CalDreamer knows it) Just a semi normal person Thought he had the future planned Then he won some silly sweepstakes Now he had a hundred grand Never stopped to think of taxes He was gone before they knew With a flair for old romantics To the Orient he flew
  16. type "baseball antichrist" (quotes or not) into google and see what results you get... (you already know don't you)
  17. Tom Strange

    Ho Ho Ho

    ...are we there yet?
  18. thank you dooj! that was a nice little break... I've always loved it... Garfunkel's voice is such an instrument and Simon is a genius. thanks for the Beck as well! I was surfing by PBS the other day and caught part of Beck onstage for the Chicago Crossroads thing...
  19. thanks cman... before I click those links, what do these things do?
  20. I think the local TV deals are critical... Hicks has a pretty good TV deal, I'm thinking as good as or better than anyone's but NYY and Bos... but he (in the past) has not spent money wisely... (I've heard talk of them 'roofing' the ballpark while they've got all the cranes already there for the new Cowboys stadium, that would help us get a lot of players I think) Besides the heat, I've heard that the stRangers have a 'losing tradition'... but I think (I hope) that we're on our way to growing from within and building something... A good GM and an owner who will just give him the money to do his job are so critical. We liked Doug Melvin but Hicks kept trying to be (what he thought was) George. I'm telling you... I wish they'd give the Marlin's GM whatever he wants to come here... that guy's a genius... (pardon my rambling)
  21. I thought it was "you and me and Leslie" as well... AND waysiderman... YOU are the wiener with "A Song For You" by Leon Russell... OR WE COULD GIVE IRISHEYES ANOTHER SHOT!
  22. I've always (with rare exception) rooted that way as well... If you're an AL fan, you root for the AL, NL for NL... that punk that asked the question was a member of the lost generation that thinks baseball games are just someplace to go drink and yell profanities... The other day the Twinkies sent a RHP, .... and a closer prospect to Tampa for OF Delmon Young, .... and another OF... so maybe they'll not be going after Coco and he'll be on his way to his rightful place in our CF... or... they could just be stocking the pantry with 'players to be named later'... (P.S. the young Jedi beat his Master last night... and yes, I'm aware that there were a couple of home field calls)
