Anyone in the area is welcome. It's gonna be nothing more than a *little lunch*, and talk. Not a full blown affair like the Weenie Roast, or the Texas BBQ. It'll be just like the one we held 4 years ago, at Applebee's in Mnpls. Short, fun, and sweet. :)

That's September 20th (Saturday), at Toby's, right off of the I-35 exit (Exit number 183), at Hinckley.

John admitted to infidelity in marriage. He also told what happened (in spades) at hdqtrs. Whatcha gonna believe???? 1? The other? Neither? Both?

I wonder if a lawsuit is going to ensue over the use of the use of the word SOWER. The CES/ STFI magazine ---------- >>> Here's another ------------- >>> Anyone else recognize that magazine layout for the front cover?? Thought so. :blink:

Cool stow-ry. Great ending!!! Excie -- You rock! Just think of the spiritual in-depth perception you exhibited, by recognizing that clerk's consternation. You must be tapped into all nine all the time, eh??? Just kidding. Awesome! You gave someone a memory for life!. :)

I'd love to, but I don't have cable. Maybe I'll go into work early. They have it at the house there. And yes --- what time zone?? 8:40 Eastern is 7:40 here in the Central time zone. Thanks for the head's up, Paw. :)

I'll never complain about a mere 3 foot snowfall again! That can be shoveled away!

Trefor -- Happy Birthday. I know you said you were dealing with cancer and hope you are still with us. It's been a while since you've been here at Grease Spot. If you are able to check in here, here's a birthday wish for you. No need to respond --- Just a friendly Yank wishing you the best. :)

The other day I went up to a local Christian bookstore and saw a Honk if you love Jesus bumper sticker. I was feeling particularly sassy that day, because I had just come from a thrilling choir practice followed by a powerful prayer meeting, so I bought the sticker and put it on my bumper. I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection just lost in thought about the Lord and how good He is, and I didn't notice that the red light had changed to green. It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus; because if he hadn't honked, I'd never have noticed. I found that LOTS of people love Jesus. Why, while I was sitting there, the nice man behind started honking like crazy, and he leaned out of his window and screamed, "for the love of God, GO! GO! GO!" What an exuberant cheerleader he was for the Lord, Everyone started honking! I just leaned out of my window and started waving and smiling at all these loving people. I even honked my horn to share in the love. There must have been a man from Florida back there, because I heard him yelling something about a sunny beach. I saw another man waving in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the air. When I asked my teenage grandson in the back seat what that meant, he said that it was an Hawaiian good luck sign or something. Well, I've never met anyone from Hawaii, so I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign back. My grandson burst out laughing; why even he was enjoying this religious experience. A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that they got out of their cars and started walking towards me. I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I attended, but this is when I noticed the light had changed. So I waved to all my sisters and brothers, smiled at them all, and drove on through the intersection. I noticed I was the only car that got through the intersection before the light changed again, and I felt kind of sad that I had to leave them after all the love we had shared, so I slowed the car down, leaned out of the window, and gave them all the Hawaiian good luck sign one last time as I drove away. Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks!

So am I. Although late -- my apologies. Yes --- I've seen/ looked at the plethora of songs you've posted. I'll stop here, so this post doesn't get deleted, like others of mine made in the past day, on other forums here. I didn't mean that in a negative manner, but now I see how you would think so. Keep on posting songs if you will. I for one am done. I think there is a *new Administration* here, but that's just a guess on my part.

But of course --- this is my favorite ----- >>>

Oh -- and just to to show I like other music also ---- This is a good one too. Actually offers something musically. :) Much better than *robots on a stage*. Paper In Fire

I know this might be out of your league -- but this puts boot prints in the face of that strutting gal in your video ---

. <_<

Rocky is probably right, so I suggest hiring some local derelict who can sing (and promise them a 12-pack of their favorite beer), to sing the words from a pay telephone from a corner somewhere!

Wow -- I had to youtube that song, to see what it even sounded like! Notta -- added a coupla verses there, eh? ;)

Raf's was PERFECT! (except the *fried* instead of *fries* at the end. ;) Here's another couple of verses (should you wish to add it) ----- Your songs and comments were really snide, now I bet you wish that you could hide. I really don't count this as a coup, elected office ain't for you. Family and friends will hafta take you in, Now what do you think of nepotism? You'll get over being a sociopath, after you've had a nice warm bath Your past comments surely stink. You're really needing that bath I think. To wash off the filth you've gotten used to, elected office ain't for you. Good luck Notta!!

We lost a great guitarist/ singer/ songwriter today. Jerry Reed. He was 71. :( An accomplished performer/ writer, He is best remembered for his role as Snowman in Smokey and the Bandit. Story ----->>> HERE. Here he is doing Alabama Jubilee:

When you've seen one shopping center you've seen a mall. If you jump off a Paris bridge, you are in Seine. When she saw her first strands of gray hair, she thought she'd dye. Bakers trade bread recipes on a knead to know basis. Santa's helpers are subordinate clauses. Acupuncture: a jab well done. Marathon runners with bad shoes suffer the agony of de feet. A grenade fell onto a kitchen floor in France resulted in Linoleum Blownapart. You are stuck with your debt if you can't budge it. Local Area Network in Australia: The LAN down under. He broke into song because he couldn't find the key. A calendar's days are numbered. A lot of money is tainted: 'Taint yours, and 'taint mine. A boiled egg is hard to beat.

No --- What that means is you can have an intelligent conversation with yourself!
