I'm wondering about Don Olson, from LaCrosse, WI. I would love to know that he's doing well.

Absolutely! Your turn, waysider!

Show a little faith - there's magic in the night You ain't a beauty, but hey, you're alright Oh, and that's alright with me.

...and we have NO friends when it comes to the word of Phil! :blink:

Rainy Night in Georgia - Ray Charles. Just heard it on the radio or I wouldn't have known it from that line. I should've known that Donovan song, Catch The Wind.

Bet you're wonderin' how I knew about your plans to make me blue

Bridge Over Troubled Waters - Simon & Garfunkel.

Scary? My picture? Oh honey, Dolly wouldn't hurt you a bit, just c'mere and lemme give you a lil' ol' hug Nah, seriously, it's okay if you don't want to talk to me. I still think you're cool.

I'd like to party with Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Lou Reed, Johnny Cash, and Willie Nelson, probably individually, only because I'd want to give them my full attention. Of course, I'd like to bring John Hartford back to life and just hang with him the rest of eternity, but I guess that's heading off topic... :blink: I sometimes think I'd like to hang out with Richard Gere or Sam Elliott. They really keep my attention in movies over the years.

I LOVE Paul McCartney! I have seen him twice in concert in the past 5 or so years. I just heard Live and Let Die on the radio yesterday and commented to my friend about how exciting that song was to hear done LIVE with all the special effects. I'll be looking for that show, thanks!

In Lebanon , men are legally allowed to have sex with animals, but the animals must be female. Having sexual relations with a male animal is punishable by death. (Like THAT makes sense.) *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* In Bahrain , a male doctor may legally examine a woman's genitals, but is prohibited from looking directly at them during the examination. He may only see their reflection in a mirror. (Do they look different reversed?) *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Muslims are banned from looking at the genitals of a corpse. This also applies to undertakers. The sex organs of the deceased must be covered with a brick or piece of wood at all times. (A brick?) *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* The penalty for masturbation in Indonesia is decapitation. (Much worse than 'going blind!') *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* There are men in Guam whose full-time job is to travel the countryside and deflower young virgins, who pay them for the privilege of having sex for the first time Reason: under Guam law, it is expressly forbidden for virgins to marry. (Let's just think for a minute; is there any job anywhere else in the world that even comes close to this?) *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* In Hong Kong , a betrayed wife is legally allowed to kill her adulterous husband, but may only do so with her bare hands. The husband's illicit lover, on the other hand, may be killed in any manner desired. (Ah! Justice!) *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Topless saleswomen are legal in Liverpool , England - but only in tropical fish stores. (But of course!) *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* In Cali , Colombia , a woman may only have sex with her husband, and the first time this happens, her mother must be in the room to witness the act. (Makes one shudder at the thought.) *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ In Santa Cruz , Bolivia , it is illegal for a man to have sex with a woman and her daughter at the same time. (I presume this was a big enough problem that they had to pass this law?) *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* In Maryland , it is illegal to sell condoms from vending machines with one exception: Prophylactics may be dispensed from a vending machine only 'in places where alcoholic beverages are sold for consumption on the premises.' (Is this a great country or what? Well, not as great as Guam !) *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour. (Who volunteers for these tests?) *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* The ant can lift 50 times its own weight, can pull 30 times its own weight and always falls over on its right side when intoxicated. (From drinking little bottles of???) (Did our government pay for this research??) *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Butterflies taste with their feet. (Ah, geez.) *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain. (I know some people like that.) *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Starfish don't have brains. (I know some people like that, too.) *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* And, the best for last? Turtles can breathe through their butts. (And You thought You had bad breath in the morning!)

Thanks, man. If it were a snake it would've bitten me!

What article that belle pointed us to are you referring to? And while I'm at it, which Mr. and Mrs. Martin are you referring to?

It's "towing".

Hey Willie, I'm glad to see you typing on the computer. I make my living typing on my computer. Did you know that you can type the word "water" all with only using your left hand? Try it: Press the "w" with your left ring finger. Then press the "a" with your left pinky finger. Then press the "t" with your left pointer finger. Then press the "e" with your left middle finger. Then press the "r" with your left pointer finger. You just typed like a pro, dude! Good job!

Yes - your turn!

Joan was quizzical

Brown Sugar by the Rolling Stones.

Happenin' day, Dude!

Nah, just a song I've loved over the years. You're right on Hungry Heart - your turn :)

How about this one? Got a wife and kids in Baltimore Jack I went out for a ride and I never went back

Grandma's Featherbed by John Denver When I was a little bitty boy Just up off-a the floor We used to go down to Grandma's house Every month end or so We had chicken pie and country ham And homemade butter on the bread But the best darn thing about Grandma's house Was her great big feather bed It was nine feet high and six feet wide Soft as a downy chick It was made from the feathers of forty 'leven geese Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick It'd hold eight kids, four hound dogs And a piggy we stole from the shed We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun On Grandma's feather bed After the supper we'd sit around the fire The old folks'd spit and chew Pa would talk about the farm and the war And Granny'd sing a ballad or two I'd sit and listen and watch the fire Till the cobwebs filled my head Next thing I knew Id wake up in the morning In the middle of the old feather bed It was nine feet high and six feet wide Soft as a downy chick It was made from the feathers of forty'leven geese Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick It'd hold eight kids, four hound dogs And a piggy we stole from the shed We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun On Grandma's feather bed Well I love my Ma, an' I love my Pa Love Granny and Grandpa too Been fishing with my uncle, I wrestled with my cousin I even kissed Aunt Lou phew! But if ever had to make a choice I guess it ought to be said That I'd trade them all plus the gal down the road For Grandma's feather bed Yes I'd trade them all plus the gal down the road **(whispered section)** For Grandma's feather bed It was nine feet high and six feet wide Soft as a downy chick It was made from the feathers of forty'leven geese Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick It'd hold eight kids, four hound dogs And a piggy we stole from the shed We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun On Grandma's feather bed We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun On Grandma's feather bed

Say it ain't so, Geo! I just have to try once more to bring this song to the forefront of somebody's mind - if nobody knows it this time tomorrow I'll give up. When I was a little bitty boy Just up off-a the floor We used to go down to Grandma's house Every month end or so We had chicken pie and country ham And homemade butter on the bread But the best darn thing about Grandma's house

How about this one? When I was a little bitty boy Just up offa the floor

I hope you got to do what you like to do on your birthday!
