Reba Mouse and Reba Mac thank(s) you.
This was her first effort, which "failed to become a major hit on the Billboard country music chart."[Click to View YouTube Video]She don't wanna be a one-night stand.
Maybe an end table, though...

Why don't you track down Mr. Honnold and make a video from The Flames point of view, if you know what I mean?

I could sell him on anything. We're both of The North Face, are we not?
We have nothing left to which we can sell out.
We are both wholesale and retail "solid doves," if you know what I mean.
What would Madison do?
Bury his Dolley in chocolate syruple
And boogie till the cows turn purple.
Zappa might say, "It's of no commercial potential, is it?"
But we might could get all presidential on it and be using greenbacks for bog paper before the purple bovines make it home.
I could contact Al Yankovich, too. He might have a spin on that.
"He thought he was Royal..." No, he did that Lorde thing. Hmmm...
Whaddya say, Anita? You could hang around the set all day and there'd be a guy to take 'stills' so you'd not have to do selfies. :0)
It could lead to something brilliant for all of us...like Alice's Restaurant Massacre led to fame and fortune for that tribe from Woodstock.
I have this in mind for part of a sound track, though.
I Googled Robert Palmer plus Frank Zappa and got Peggy Sue![Click to View YouTube Video]

Spinato and Marti, two bold South American heroes, take to the high road.
The two intrepid boys from the Triple R stop to chow down, but they are immediately surrounded by hungry, hungry Slovakians on their annual pilgrimage.

Where were you in '81? Me, I was watching outtakes and bloopers from un-used film from American Grafitti with Harrison Ford, selling my house to Glen Ford's nephew, Ford Chevy Ford, and trying not to climb any aid with friends whose names ended in 'y.' I was superstitious following my divorce.
We saved the lake, of course.
We owe it all to Chevron and its PEOPLE.I love this owl. He thinks he may be endangered, though.

Now we have Transformers
Here's to the lads of the Kosciusko Escadrille. What? No Americans volunteered to fight for Poland when Germany invaded?
MOOOOSE! What do you know of this? We stick our big stupid noses into EVERYONE's business. I cannot believe...well, just cuz I never heard of something, ya know...that doesn't mean it never happened.
But truly, Poland by J. Michener, arch-jingoist, was a great novel. Too damned long, but that's what made it great--for a doorstop or a paperweight!
Mila 18 was the one for me. Leon Uris' take on the Warsaw uprising. I had read it twice before I found out who Sal Mineo was.
I'll leave you with this, some relatively unsung performances, sung one time and archived.

I had occasion today to be searching for the Southland Pipe and Nipples Company. It turns out it's in Texas, but is not nearly as well documented as Yosemite.
Remember the Alamo?
I don't know if there is anything quite as interesting in the world of fasteners as the Marman Clamp, rumoured to have been developed by Bridwell or Jed Clampit.

Juszt Czechin' in...
A Russian scientist, Martinov, and a Czechoslovakian scientist, Moosenlipsz, had spent their whole lives studying the majestic grizzly bear. Each year they petitioned their respective governments to allow them to go to Yellowstone to study these wondrous beasts.
Finally, their request was granted and they immediately flew to New York and then west to Yellowstone. They reported to the local ranger station and were told by Ranger Spinato that it was the grizzly mating season and it was much too dangerous to go out and study the animals.
They pleaded that this was their only chance. The stupid ranger relented. The Russian and the Czech were given cell phones and told to report in each day.
For several days they called in, and then nothing was heard from the two scientists. The rangers mounted a search party and found the scientists' camp completely ravaged. There was no sign of the missing men.
They then followed the trail of a male and a female bear. They found the female and decided they must kill the animal to find out if she had eaten the scientists, because they feared an international incident. They killed the female and cut open the bear's stomach and, sure enough, found the grisly remains of Comrade Martinov.
Wernini, the much-relieved rescue and search maven, turned to the other and said, "You know what this means, don't you?"
"Of course," Ranger Spinato nodded. "The Czech is in the male."
