Does anyone remember the words to the rowdy version of the song, "My Toll House Cookie Left My Rack Back At the Shack So I Shot Her Dog?"
I Mean, Her Dawg Kept Drinkin' My Bong Water, Man. I mean, What Would Bill Wendt Have Done ThatI Din't Do and What's the Use of Cryin' Over a Dog For?

Mourning has broken, but not morning, for the nineteen Arizona men who died tragic deaths yesterday.

THEY KIDNAPPED MY BOSS
It's Monday mornin' again
And I'm on the road again
Get my break at ten
Can I hear an Amen
Well My Boss is cool
Known him since school
He was on the Dairy Land bus
It was a great big fuss
He's sure done all right
We go drinkin' at night
He always buys three rounds
One for each of them clowns
He wishes them all the luck
They can fit in my old milk truck
And he goes to church to pray
For the soul of Bus Driver Ed Ray
It was all very thrillin'
For the old Chowchillan
The Snatch and Catch in "Chowch"
(No one calls it that.)

Isn't it nice to see brojay, JayBro making a guest appearance? I think so.
In case anyone is counting, I have it on good authority that the world's first child's sailor suit was made for the future King Edward VII in 1846, fully one hundred years before I donned mine.
However, could Eddie bang a drum? I doubt it.

I was scrolling and wondering when the LDB would show up.
You managed to snare me with that, Skin Head.
The Trapp Family Singers "popularized" Katherine Kennicott (two n's & two t's, please) Davis' 1941 song.
It should be shelved next to Ravel's Bolero.
Pahrump is in Nevada, and Phil Collins is still thinking about lifts.

They tell me I have little sense of rhythm, but at least I know how to spell it.
Our eighth grade class had five guys that made up the group The Rhythm Rockers in 1961.
The group had a drummer, Jerry H. (or Glen), a bass, Danny, a lead singer, Steve, a lead guitar, Jerry W., and a rhythm guitar, Gerry R.
Jerry OR GLEN, Danny, Jerry, Steve, Gerry. Kind of rhythmic, don't ya think? They all turned to surf music the next year, Jerry W. off to see the wizards at some SoCal AFB, where he had to go put up with shows like the DelTones. Horrible fate. Steve has six kids, all from the rhythm method. Horrible fate. Jerry H. changed his name to Glen. Or Glenn. I'm not sure.
If anyone asks, I had a great day on the road and morning in Yosemite...
...at the beach, chillun.

this is my semi-irregular post about negativithy on The Flames thread.
Can't we all just get along?
At justwhat point does negative thread turn into negative yarn?
Sure glad I was never keelhauled.
BTW "justwhat" is new, can't decide whether it is worthy of trademarking.

It's worthy of being keelhauled.
Pussedwhat, bustwhat, cussedwhat...
Must what gets said in this thread be treated as yarn?
I thought yarning was a staple on this thread.
Staple length is an important criterion for spinning fibber, as shorter fibbers are more difficult to spin than longer ones, the former also resulting in more hairy yarns.--Straight from the Wiki Looms To Your Rooms
I said, "To Your Rooms," chillun!

Did you hear?
That notorious flake Juliet has a crush on some Romeo from over at the Junction!I know, she flaunts it, huh? Sittin' way up there on the fire escape, actin' all Queen of Arch Rock, such a fvuckin' tease! She sure is fine, though!
He's a real nice guy, this Romeo of hers. I seen him at church. He looks like a choirboy.But I know who you're talkin' about and I saw him in a Quarrygirl calendar! He was decent about it, though, he covered up where it counts.
You know Half-Wit Dom, up the end of the Valley?
You mean that big round-shouldered guy? He's nice. And he's solid.
Yeah, well, he's nothin' like that guy Tex I went for...that guy was a real flake!
You mean that guy with the big brother named Boothe or Boethe? He was a big heel to me!
Yep. That's three flakes and a deek.
You almost need a guide book, huh?
I thought I saw a new guy, but I ain't sure if he's from around here.
Probably just your imagination.
The Stones? Is it Just My Imagination?

They tried to drum this guy right out of the yarn-arms.
What to do with enough yarn or rope?
For my friends who were wondering what the term keelhauling actually means, here is my take on this terrible punishment. Keelhauling was a form of severe punishment first credited to the Dutch Navy in the 1500s. During the Age of Sail, the victim was suspended by a rope from one fore yardarm which was attached to his back. A weight was attached to the victim's legs to ensure that the victim was properly oriented to the hull. Another rope was fastened to him, which lead under the ship's bottom, and through a block at its opposite yard-arm. To keep the victim from drowning outright, the Dutch in later years would put an oil-soaked sponge in the victim's mouth that might contain a breath of air.
Should this go in the fasteners portion of the thread?
What to do with rope if you get enought rope?

got to get things together...
and keep them together...
in a file or in a steel 55-gallon drum...
but you'll have to go to Office Depot and buy some staples that fit.
They'll likely back-order, so hang in there.
It's great to be able to staple two hard copies of ANYTHING anymore. All my stuff's on the computer.
But it's class to have an old-fashion stapler on the desk just to impress, and how much more impressive when it's filled with the right product.

Well, the last I heard of Arab
He was stuck on a whale
That was married to the deputy
Sheriff of the jail
But the funniest thing was
When I was leavin’ the bay
I saw three ships a-sailin’
They were all heading my way
I asked the captain what his name was
And how come he didn’t drive a truck
He said his name was Columbus
I just said, “Good luck with that back-order”

It's pretty peaceful in here lately. Thank you, Wayno.
Virtually everything can be viewed. The viewer is himself a camera, if he's a maniac.
Not anything wrong with maniacy. It's single-mindedness ruled by curiosity tinged by madnesss. We all wish we could let it out to show others but convention and tradition are mine enemies, and I fear nobody but the taxman and the DA, and the Taco is not East LA, gracias a Dio.
The following is from
http://dearphone.blogspot.com/2011/06/man-camera.html?zx=57bae82387cf56ec
Man Camera
In James Ellroy's The Big Nowhere Detective Deputy Danny Upshaw - a tenacious and talented young cop whose obsessive, self-destructive nature seems destined to lead him to the same lonely misery that befalls so many fictional detectives (I haven't finished it yet...)* - relates the concept of the "man camera", an investigative technique created by the apparently fictional criminologist Hans Maslick. Ellroy describes the approach thusly:
"In a famous essay, Maslick described a technique he had developed while undergoing analysis with Sigmund Freud. It was called Man Camera, and involved screening details from the perpetrator’s viewpoint. Actual camera angles and tricks were employed; the investigator's eyes became a lens capable of zooming in and out, freezing close-ups, selecting background motifs to interpret crime-scene evidence in an aesthetic light."
In The Big Nowhere, Upshaw's use of the method serves to highlight his increasingly fraught mental state and growing fixation with the case and the killer, supposed rational and professional detachment unravelling in a haze of conflicted, closeted homosexuality and alcoholic self-medicating. But divorced from that context, does this not sound remarkably like a description of the subjective POV killer-cam of the giallo?** And in context, the effect the procedure has on Upshaw's troubled psyche reflects some of the implications that the use of killer-cam has in gialli – a blurring of the lines between audience and perpetrator, a hint of moral ambiguity and a vicarious, participatory quality.
*I have now. He should be so lucky!
** Giallo (Italian pronunciation: [ˈdʒallo], plural gialli) is an Italian 20th-century genre of literature and film, which in Italian indicates crime fiction and mystery. In the English language it refers to a genre similar to the French fantastique genre and includes elements of horror fiction and eroticism. The word "giallo" is Italian for "yellow" and stems from the origin of the genre in Italy as a series of cheap paperback mystery novels which all had trademark yellow covers.--Wikipedia
Earth is not a kind place, normally. It's up to us to try to make it so, Number One from the Washington Galaxy. But I think science has shown that evolution, though it is a fact of life, is itself ruled by the famous fickle finger of fate.

Good morning, Gene.
How do you like my sunset shot from Wash-Button Point-to-the-Sky?
I think it's truly ground-breaking, earth-shaking, and money-making.
This shot was taken before it got quite that dark.
I was alone when I took this one the morning before.
I will refer you to the music of Stockhausen, as well.
