I pulled in next to that car, and when I got out I first thought, "Hey, I've got to get a pix of that on the way out."

Then I thought, "Hey, they may leave before then," so I unlocked the Geomobile, got the camera, and snapped the pix.

Nothing I haven't felt before!

I was up at 6 am to the pitter-patter sound of rain, looked out by the pool and noticed we left alot of stuff outside, sooo, luckily moved stuff inside before the real soaking came. We took Stu to Ben & Irv's for a good Jewish brunch and then sent the New Yawker home via Trenton!

(Cruel... ain't I ?!?)

So, after the movie got old and there were no more Top Cat episodes to do voices for, they went to Bobo's neighborhood and opened a deli, knowing full well that they will make a great living with Bobo and his friends as customers!

I kept trying to tell the strippers that Bobo and Treebeard were married, but the guys just kept stuffing $20 bills into their G-strings and I was ignored! Oh, the humanity!

THE PLAYMATES - "Beep Beep"

[Very slowly]
Beep beep beep beep
His horn went beep beep beep
While riding in my Cadillac
What to my surprise
A little Nash Rambler was following me
About one third my size
The guy musta wanted to pass me up
As he kept on tooting his horn
I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn
Beep beep beep beep
His horn went beep beep beep

[Slowly]
I pushed my foot down to the floor
To give the guy the shake
But the little Nash Rambler stayed right behind
He still had on his brake
He musta thought his car had more guts
As he kept on tooting his horn (beep beep)
I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn
Beep beep beep beep
His horn went beep beep beep

[Normal speed]
My car went into passing gear
And we took off with gust (whoosh)
Soon we were going ninety
Musta left him in the dust
When I peeked in the mirror of my car
I couldn't believe my eyes
The little Nash Rambler was right behind
You'd think that guy could fly
Beep beep beep beep
His horn went beep beep beep

[Quickly]
Now we were doing a hundred and ten
This certainly was a race
For a Rambler to pass a Caddy
Would be a big disgrace
The guy musta wanted to pass me up
As he kept on tooting his horn (beep beep)
I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn
Beep beep beep beep
His horn went beep beep beep

[Very quickly]
Now we're going a hundred twenty
As fast as I can go
The Rambler pulled along side of me
As if we were going slow
The fella rolled down his window
And yelled for me to hear
"Hey buddy how do I get this car outa second gear?"

Well I saw the thing comin' out of the sky
It had the one long horn, one big eye
I commenced to shakin' and I said "ooh-eee"
It looks like a purple eater to me

It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater
(One-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater)
A one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me (One eye?)

Well he came down to earth and he lit in a tree
I said Mr. Purple People Eater, don't eat me
I heard him say in a voice so gruff
I wouldn't eat you cuz you're so tough

It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater
One-eyed, one-horned flyin' purple people eater
One-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me (One horn?)

I said Mr. Purple People Eater, what's your line
He said it's eatin' purple people and it sure is fine
But that's not the reason that I came to land
I wanna get a job in a rock and roll band

Well bless my soul, rock and roll, flyin' purple people eater
Pigeon-toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple people eater
(We wear short shorts)
Flyin' purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me

And then he swung from the tree and he lit on the ground
He started to rock, really rockin' around
It was a crazy ditty with a swingin' tune
Sing a boop boop aboopa lopa lum bam boom

Well bless my soul, rock and roll, flyin' purple people eater
Pigeon-toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple people eater
I like short shorts
Flyin' little people eater
Sure looks strange to me (Purple People?)

And then he went on his way, and then what do ya know
I saw him last night on a TV show
He was blowing it out, a'really knockin' em dead
Playin' rock and roll music through the horn in his head

(clarinet solo)

Zoning Intervenes In Good vs. Evil Dispute

NAUGATUCK, CT -- A local zoning dispute has become for some a battle of good vs. evil.

The owner of a photo store, who says her business partner is Jesus, began Holy Week by putting signs outside her store urging passing motorists to show their support for the Christian holiday. "Easter: Beep for Christ," the signs said.

Phil Young, owner of a neighboring tattoo store, soon after put out a sign urging motorists to honk twice for Satan.

Naugatuck officials ordered the signs removed.

While the messages are irrelevant, zoning ordinances require signs to pertain to what businesses sell, do not block sidewalks and do not create a hazard, Mayor Ron San Angelo said.

"We've got to follow our zoning regulations. That's all we care about," he said.

Claudette Soden, owner of Photos Onto DVD, had put similar signs up at Christmas when her business was at a different location and said she was continuing that tradition at Easter.

By Tuesday, Young's sign was gone. Soden was refusing to remove hers.

"Easter has not passed yet," she said.

Young, who did not respond to a request by The Associated Press for comment, has said he viewed Soden's message as a sign of religious intolerance for non-Christians. He told the Republican-American of Waterbury he put his sign up because he wanted to present an alternate view.

"My main point is that we share a parking lot, and what goes on in this parking lot represents not only hers, but both shops," he said. "What she does inside her business is her business."

Soden, who keeps a Bible on her countertop and displays on her wall a business partnership agreement between her and Jesus, said she was not bothered by Young's posted image of Satan.

"It didn't offend me, but I know it offended Christ," she said.

As if the two religious messages weren't enough, a third business owner jumped into the fray by putting out a sign touting civic virtue.

Roger DeVack, owner of Computer Repair Tech that shares retail space with Soden's business, said he briefly put out a sign urging motorists to honk for the American flag. The sign displayed the red, white and blue.

He saw nothing wrong with Soden's sign and was annoyed at the fight it prompted.

"It just seems asinine why people have to turn this into a slugfest between good and evil," he said.
