Ever since Saturday, I have not been able to escape "I don't want to do your dirty work - no more ..."

Get that song out of my head!!!

No SC, the word is rapscallion, not scallion.

And that is not an onion that stands there rapping, either.

This Saturday, I am dedicating Booker T and the MG's, "Green Onions" to you!!!

Anyhow, at least it's a good song! Could have been worse. You could be walking around singing "Love Will Keep Us Together" by the Captain and Tenille! :)

That's the general plan in life - living long enough to get old. There is an alternative for the faint of heart.

But, what can one expect from a rapscallion?
Geobeet

Strolling down the highway with my shoes in my hand
I don't talk much I'm a quiet man
Beauty and silence both run deep
And running like crazy while you are asleep

Chorus:
You got news for me, I got nothing for you
Don't pin your blues on me
Just go ahead and do whatever you wish to

Last Monday night I saw a fight
Between Wednesday and Thursday over Saturday night
Tuesday asked me what was going on I said,
"Sunday's in the meadow and Friday's in the corn."

Repeat Chorus:

Hocus-pocus, Maladjusted
Don't you think my tears get rusted
Steady losing means you ain't using
What you really think is right

Repeat Chorus:

Oodles of light what a beautiful sight
Both of God's eyes are shining tonight
Rays and beams of incredible dreams
And I am a quiet man.

Oodles of light what a beautiful sight
Both of God's eyes are shining tonight
Rays and beams of incredible dreams
And I am a quiet man.

Oodles of light what a beautiful sight
Both of God's eyes are shining tonight
Rays and beams of incredible dreams
And I am a quiet man.

Hey treebeard, how's it goin'? I've been hearing this great song on the radio and thought I'd pass it along to ya. It's David Byrne from The Talking Heads with Thievery Corporation doing a song called The Hearts a Lonely Hunter.

Check it out.

I'm just using Geobeet's thread. Fight it out with him for proprietary rights to the word. LOL!
Nigal

Filter's on here at work. I will forward it to home and check it out there. Can't hardly think of any of David Byrne's work that I would even consider substandard. I look forward to it. Thanks so much!

Anyhow, we're just cruising along, trying to keep life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness in the cards for us. Hope all is well with you.

So, are any potential plans for heading east coming to fruition? Please keep us posted. So, for now, take care. Got to get to work...

Sadly the trip to New York is SO off. You'll get a kick out of this one; The people who were getting married was my wife's CEO (a lawyer) and a broker who worked for the company. Long story short, he not only broke it off but he sued her for a business deal gone wrong. LOL!

I feel that way about the Bronx. Don't feel bad. I just use it to get upstate, go to Yankee Stadium, or the Bronx Zoo.

As for your plans, sorry to hear about that. Gotta shake my head at that scenario outcome, though. The corporate mentality pervades every aspect of life. Marriage is not a bond. It's a freakin' deal anymore!

Maple, don't call me anymore! My people will call your people! :) j/k, darlin'... :)

Hey TreePeople! Guess what? Not only is the wedding back on we somehow made the A list so we'll be flying the weekend of May 3rd. They're putting us up in a hotel in [drum roll] Staten Island! I told the wife we have to meet the Trees while we're in town.

Excellent, Nigal! I will make sure I am out of town, er I mean....(ahem) I will make sure we are around that weekend and that we can hook up!

So, the pre-nup worked? :)

I guess the pre-nup worked and he is even dropping the law suit against her. Awwwwwe! What a sweet guy! He's a real keeper. LOL!

I told my wife I just hope these two can hold it together until the wedding. LOL!

I am not sure if you are on the A-LIST if they put you up in Staten Island. something is not right here!

Free flight to NYC...nothing.

Free motel rooms in NYC...nothing.

Watching Mr. and Mrs. Meathead fight it out at the reception...priceless.
