The Indy 500 -- They are already traveling 221 MPH. Look out for the three Andretti's in the race. And Dan Wheldon is another serious contender. My vote goes to Danica :)

Doug --- Maybe you and I and Vickles could meet at that Applebee's restaurant, like we all did in 2005?? Think Mary Cate might care to join us??

I agree. IM's (or PM's) are great for a meet-up, but if that can't be accomplished -- how do you know who you are dealing with??? Words on a screen, nothing more. And can you imagine ALL the GSC community (plus guest visitors), viewing everything you post??? HA!!!! Not I -- thank-you-very-much!!!

Cman -- one of *our own here* (and not I), wrote that. It was a hugely popular post/ thread on that other site. :)

TIME FOR SOME DOC WATSON HERE.

Uh-Huh! (Remember -- Doc Watson is blind).

I agree with whomever it was that said *IM's are for dating* or something to that effect.

Actually --- I was wondering if this decade even STARTED *prevailing*!!! (TWI -- pull out the proof and show us -- eh???)

For what it's worth Sudo -- I left about the same time you did. I decided to give them (twi), another try, and went back in the mid 90's. Although it was still called twi --- It was an ENTIRELY different org by that time. I lasted for about 1 1/2 months, before realizing that insanity was rampant. The things *leader$$HH!!t were demanding (and getting with NO COMPLAINTS) boggled my mind. I saw zombies where before I had seen believers, and that was then. I can't even begin to imagine what it must be like today. I for one am prepared to believe this story. Twi has a history of taking people's *gray matter*, and turning it into *mush*.

Choose a category. "To look up Billboard's #1 song on a specific date in history, select a month to the left. What was the #1 song on ... - the day you were born? - the day you graduated from high school? - the day you were married? - the day your child was born? - the approximate date you were conceived?"

Trust twi to fruckk up the intentions of a good tune (with a bit of levity about it), to further the agen -- duhhhhhhh they had in mind. They did the same thing with a Bluegrass group that was formed, back in the 70's. The group didn't pay *bluegrass* --- it was *truegrass*. Couldn't recognize a thing by it's proper name, if it slapped them in the face. The top helm (and probably others as well) of twi -- could screw up a wet dream. They are that talented.

I'm My Own Grandpa ( Lonzo & Oscar ) It sounds funny, I know, But it really is so, Oh, I'm my own grandpa. I'm my own grandpa. I'm my own grandpa. It sounds funny, I know, But it really is so, Oh, I'm my own grandpa. Now many, many years ago, when I was twenty-three, I was married to a widow who was pretty as could be. This widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red. My father fell in love with her, and soon they, too, were wed. This made my dad my son-in-law and changed my very life, My daughter was my mother, cause she was my father's wife. To complicate the matter, even though it brought me joy, I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy. My little baby then became a brother-in-law to Dad, And so became my uncle, though it made me very sad. For if he was my uncle, then that also made him brother Of the widow's grown-up daughter, who, of course, was my stepmother. Father's wife then had a son who kept him on the run, And he became my grandchild, for he was my daughter's son. My wife is now my mother's mother, and it makes me blue, Because, although she is my wife, she's my grandmother, too. Now if my wife is my grandmother, then I'm her grandchild, And everytime I think of it, it nearly drives me wild, For now I have become the strangest case you ever saw As husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa! I'm my own grandpa. I'm my own grandpa. It sounds funny, I know, but it really is so, Oh, I'm my own grandpa.

Ever listened to the lyrics closely?? It's all about *in-laws*, and not incest. But you probably knew that. ;)

Hey!!! I like the banjo!! Kinda purty at

That question reminded me of a post one of the posters here at GSC, made on a different board once about *How to Flame Properly* It's hilarious!!! (I took out all the personal names, though I'm sure some of you here have seen this one before.) :)

Jeremiah was a bullfrog. (CROAK!!!)

What (or maybe I should rather ask where) is *the Styx* you're referring to?? You've got me curious. :)

Smokey --- so VERY good to see you again. :) (Been praying for ya, bro.)

A *manly mullet*??? I always thought that to be a contradiction of terms! An oxymoron -- if you will. ;)

Hey there Vickles! How's everything in southern Minney-soda??

I had (what I thought might be a poignant) thought/ reply --- but I realized I'd just be shot down, so I refrained. :)

Ya know what?? That's the way it SHOULD be. God bless em. Tell the folks what you're doing and invite them to it. Give them a time and date, and keep it simple like this one.

Not I Chas. I haven't been to a wedding for years now. Matter of fact -- the last one I think I was at, our string band played for the reception, and that was about 10 years ago. It was a VERY high class wedding followed by holding a VERY high class reception --- in one of the more *exclusive* ballrooms in town . We were hired to do a square dance, as well as provide instrumental background for the festivities. You walk in the main lobby -- and this is what you see: The ballroom itself looks like this: The only reason I mention this in your *tacky* thread here, is because of what the bride had to say when it came time to *pay the band* (as in us -- TWTSB). We (The Wild Thyme String Band) had said we would do 3 (more if needed) hours of music. She (the bride) had agreed. A simple contract had been signed by her and our guy. No *where-as the signee-of-the-first-part-bu!!....* like that -- just a simple statement. We gave our price for picking for her party. There were 5 of us *doing the duty*. If I recollect correct, the price was $650.00 (or there-abouts). When all was done and our instruments were in their cases, we went looking for the paycheck. She (the bride) started whining about wanting a fun time but not wanting to *go broke doing it*! (May I refer you to the pics above from the place she rented, and then to her statement here???) She wanted to pay us $125.00, rather than the contract price of $650.00. We thought that was pretty tacky and a cheap shot at trying to get something for (almost) free. So we pulled out the contract. Simple as it was -- it was a legal document. Given her attitude and comments when asked for payment, we asked for cash rather than a check.
