Monkey Business / Am I An Airhead?
http://www.vevo.com/watch/monkey-business/am-i-an-airhead/CZZ870500208
Don't stick around, you'll just be wasting your time.
"He goes for the drivel drive and it'a a perfect left-handed finger roll."
The one which follows deserves a look as well.
Hulu / Vevo for ten days is less than a buck.
Orson Welles / F is For Fake
http://www.hulu.com/watch/223242?playlist_id=2115&asset_scope=movies
What's a lie? What's "real?"
All the world's a faker's stage.
BELIEVE IT...OR NOT!
"He does the head fake and drivel drives left--and it's another perfect lie up!"
Phylyp, as the "doyenne" of our little art thread, and one of our worthy practitioners, you might really like this one--Matisse, Modigliani, and a lot of mid-Twentieth C. art. I found it fascinating.

**//The secret sauce for me?
Desire.
And that desire fuels a need to remain (or return to) fit. And being fit enables the desire to go. And going puts me in a position to explore And exploring fuels the fire that burns within. And keeping the flames alight is what its all about. Even if its just nursing the pilot light through a cold and drafty night. Gotta keep it lit because restarting it is a motherf*#ker.
To me? Its all about getting myself to the base of a rock with the urge intact. There have been times when the journey TO the rock sufficed. I did not climb. Somehow, those lean meals weren't as satisfying.
But we build our lives and make our money and buy our things and study our craft and assemble our kits and make our journeys and hike through the woods and after all this seemingly endless friggin around?
We touch the stone. And then?
"Suddenly"... we're climbing.
And then it all makes sense. And then? We're climbers. New skin? Meet the old skin.
:)
At least that's the way its been for me these past 40 years. Ah she was my first love, climbing.
DMT //**
Thank you DMT. I was just telling another climber the other day the reason I must get back into shape after all this is because there is nothing you can do alone that feels better than being balanced on a ledge, with your body pressed from cheek to toe against the rock, being warmed and held safe by Mother Earth. The only thing that comes close is being high up, where the air is clearer, and as you fall asleep, looking up, you fall up into the stars. Those two sensations will keep me in the mountains and rocks as long as I can be there.
Thinking a lot about Doug today, sending lots of gratitude to the Universe for his love.
Amen.
So,thank you from both of us for that.

Since I only have hulu for ten days I'm trying to cram in some things I've meant to check out.
Jack of All Trades
Episode titled "Monkey Business"
http://www.hulu.com/watch/2664
I got to chasing the dance tune neebee wanted to know about.
After checkin' it out, Monkey Business on hulu, brought on a tide of goodies. This was among the drek on the hulu beach.
It's very ON THE ROAD. Secret agentry for the good King George III, seeking the temple of the WallaWallaBingBang and the Chango d'Or.
"What makes you think I can't play "Monkey in the Middle" for a day, Jack?"
It begins with an abseil into a sink-hole, too. And digresses from there.
"Oh, yeah, get that monkey!"

USPS rules!Checked in all proper.Lookie here, we got enough roaches, you guys better get docked so you don't keep me awake all night. HA! Seriously, if you wanna hang around Middle Earth, there are certain provisos. First, you need to be amputized like me. It so doesn't hurt. The knife is sharp and the board is disinfected. That's better. But there were thirteen of you. WTF?Ron Anderson decamped when he saw the knife. He got the hell out of here and booked up onto the Dihedral Wall. But I still nicked his tail.
I nearly cried when I saw my wife. I had to laugh instead.
Here's why.
In opening the package down in the lobby office, Liz had slipped off somewhere, maybe to check out these Poblas. I don't blame her at all.And later on, as I'm straightening the pack out, getting them to hang right, the knock at the door reveals Tammi, from the office, holding Liz!
Flash back to Facelift 2012 when Liz's snapshot was left in Yellow Pines and returned via post by Lady Pink! That's my Lizzie all over the place! And when Ron ran off, she did, too, and this is where she climbed up to.
If the computer monitor were paper, it would have damp spots on it from tears.
Takk.

Thank you for creating them "cookies" and the rest of you for being so cool.
I got Cool Friends.
And I got a goodie I'm working out with Santa, too.
Campfire songs for the celebration might run like this--
North Pole Cats, think they're better than South Pole,
North Pole Cats, been whinin' since they's kittens,
...And there's too many cats in Nashville.
Drei Gehörlose Mäuse (Three Deaf Mice) by the deaf composer Mousart.
Getting Unfriended
Having To Know You, being forced to "like" you,
Waiting on Facebook, for you to respond...
Just wait till Martha comes! I had to call her and SHE CANCELLED HER MEETS!
And she's bringing ROPER!
Stick around, or come back when ya can, friends.

I've never seen such a beautiful smile, falafel. :0)
Maybe on the gal sleeping & dreaming of a lion, or the ML.
Oh, never mind, just a tear...
I'm feeling awful about "falafel" and take it back, OK? ??:0)??

hey there, say... mouse...
we got a RIDDLE FOR YOU:
*what is sometimes, though not always--nutty before fruition, while keeping its sanity by those with a good sense of mind...
*arrives by way of goats or cows, if allowed to gather...
*is black and white, or even as faceted as a rainbow, and read all over, except when when it is more
than three sheets to the winds...
*it viewed by some, as a fine line with angles, if presented proper, from point A, to B...
*is coated of many colors, yet, flat to the human eye...
*and is wet or dry, while being warm or cold...
*yet can keep many things high and dry, if used properly...
*strongly inspires the imagination, though easily falls into ruination...
*has a history all its own, and will now be a hit story and not by loud squeaky advances...
*is never irrelivant, inspite of its trunk,weight, or age...
*is useful on the run, though runs many times, not for fun...
*has trappings not of holidays, but yet inspires good cheer...
*and lastly, is known to sneak up when least expected...
AND--
and comes out of the boxing ring-of-life, with a song in its heart... ?
WELL, hopefully if you can't guess, you will know soon...
hee hee hee... ;)
hopes it's not late for ho ho ho :(

Can't neebee see
The joker laughs at the riddle
Coo coo ka-fiddle
And if that's not a good answer, try this.
My home state at it's atmospheric best.
"Aw, people suck."
Well, so does nature, my man. It can kill ya just as easy as thrill ya.
I know people who thrill this way. They are astounding.

neebee, I got this from Larry Jones in email with a link to Vimeo and it was this link that he sent:
http://vimeo.com/81616727
He used the word "amazing." He also disclosed that Vimeo loads faster than Huffington Post.
"Mama, pray, what is a 'stounding'? Is it like unto a Christmas Carol?"
"Oh, chile, the fack dat de stars exist. The fack dat y'all exist," prays God in return.

Marlow, did I see you wearing this icon of Deaf Wolfie? If you did use it at one time, for God's sake forgive me! I can switch to Bach if it's the case.

Frosty loves him some sunshine.[Click to View YouTube Video]Dr. John sir, you look a little flushed.
Mr. Redbone, sir, it's fum goin' bumpity bump bump...all the live-long day. It ain't fum misbehavin'.
Dr., you have had no TIME for Miss B. Haven. You've been recording every night with me.
Oh, Mr. Redbone, sir, I done told you I been goin' bumpity bump bump all the live-long day. But it ain't Miss B. Haven, it's that li'l blonde who rents out the gri-gris over to the climbing gym.
Why, you mean Miss Jump Sturdy. Know her well. She climbs with GLee, like she bumps, doesn't she?
That there's the gal. She's teachin' me how to belay her. It's so much fun, I wrote a song 'bout her.

hey there, say, mouse... forgot to mention, since it is LATE now...
the box may not SEEM like it NEEDS the intructions... but:
yep, you will STILL need to USE the
"one a day" vitamin type power, of the box...
but, you CAN take care of the first
2 numbers, in one mighty SWOOP...
well, you will see why, however, for the others,
you can play by the rules, but:
the DATES will not be matching what would have been PEACHY,
otherwise... ;)
well, got to go next door and see the neighbor now...
posted this JUST in case...
however, if you GET the cookies, you CAN
use THOSE all at once, and not by numbers, :))
