Random Thoughts

LOL, So Lack. You're right. Maybe it wasn't the right place to post. It's just an interesting fact I found on the 'net.

I guess I should have filed it under the thread 'semi-useless information you find'

At 7 this morning I was making coffee and my roommate started chatting at me. When and how would one consider it acceptable to start a conversation about nothing at 7 am with a person who is preparing coffee? And why the hell is my roommate so perky at that ungodly hour?

**not so much of a random thought as a random rant**

It's really a shame when you specifically write in the party invitation, "Please don't invite the sketchy guys hanging out in front of the liquor store," and people disregard it. Neighbors, it's not me you should be hating! Would you like to see the invitation?

Let me hear you say "Yes!".

By the way, did mine get lost in the post and/or cyberspace?

I can't wait until I'm free of school...party,party,party in Europe.

I had lunch with the fabulous and beautiful Mood Swung this past Saturday, and you didn't.

I would have liked to.

I have to go to a conference next week and will be away for Mrs VG's birthday

That explains why you didn't show. I forgive you now.

Aah - that makes me feel better. I hope you did not take it personally as I would have replied. Not sending an RSVP is so rude.

So can I see the invitation then?

miss buenos aires · Post by **miss buenos aires** » Tue Mar 14, 2006 1:49 pm

VG, are you sure you didn't get it? Does this look familiar?

Yes, my little chickadees, it's the long-awaited (Party till you're)
Black and Blue Party! Dress code is black and/or blue clothes, though
if you don't have any, you can thank S for putting the kibosh on
strict enforcement. (E still, however, reserves the right to make
snarky comments to any guests not wearing black and/or blue, and to
lay the blame at their feet when the cops show up.) Invite
girlfriends, boyfriends, old friends, new friends and anyone you'd
like to get to know a little better, plus anyone whose email address
we don't have (but should). We do ask that you try to refrain from
inviting the sketchy guys hanging out in front of the liquor store,
but hey, if it happens, it happens. And oh yeah, it's Saturday night.
Show up whenever you like, but the (Party till you're) Black and Blue
Party is a movable feast, and S reserves the right to shake her
booty all over this town, so do try to show up before 3:30 or so. And
of course, booze is always welcome.

Es la fiesta que estaban Uds todos esperando…¡la fiesta negra y azul!
Hay que vestirte en ropa negra o/y azul…no te preocupes, no vamos a estar muy estrictas con respeto a la etiqueta en el vestir, porque te
queremos tanto. ¡Inviten a sus amigos! Cuando: este sabado, el 11 de
marzo. (Y es posible que vayamos a bailar después, entonces por
favor, vengan antes de las 3 y media. Y traigan alcool. Por favor.)
Donde: (our address)

Love, love, love,
Forever and ever,
E and S, putting the "sex" into "Don't you think that's excessive?" since 1999

P.S. We're avoiding the term "goodbye party," because it's depressing,
but if you have any declarations of love and/or expensive jewelry for
Miss S, well, now would be the time. (E wouldn't turn them
down either.)
No estamos diciendo la frase "fiesta de despedidas," porque nos
deprime, pero si tenés o declaraciones de amor o joyería cara para
nuestra amiga S, no habrá otra oportunidad muy pronto. (O para
E, no le molestaría a ella tampoco.)

Unfortunately I never received it. Is it still possible for me to give you declarations of love and/or expensive jewellery?

By the way did you feel the need to make snarky comments?

well, great. now we're talking about impeaching Bush. let's just get even and impeach every hapless and horny hodad we vote into office. it's gotta be more complex than that!? no, it isn't; just the political winds. it ain't like we look stupid enough already in the international community. the best don't run any more, intellectually and public service-wise we deteriorate exponentially, and we're watching Fox, so what do you expect.

Oliver Douglas: But he couldn't be dead.
Fred Ziffel: Oh, yes he could, I personally attended his funeral.
Oliver Douglas: Are you sure?
Fred Ziffel: I don't know what you do in New York, but around here we don't give a man a funeral unless we're pretty sure he needs one.

Oh my gosh! I didn't even see this! Yes, of course, declarations of love and expensive jewelry are always welcome! But no conflict diamonds, please. And I always feel the need to make snarky comments. Snark is my middle name. Miss Buesnarknos Aires.

Jack Blanchard and Misty Morgan's "The Tennessee Bird Walk" is the greatest song ever written and is only challenged by "My Uncle Used To Love Me (But She Died)" by Roger Miller.

Take away the trees
and the birds'll have to sit upon the ground.
(Hum)
Take away their wings
and the birds'll have to walk to get around.
Take away the birdbaths
and dirty birds will soon be everywhere.
Take away their feathers
and the birds will walk around in underwear.
Take away their (whistle)
and the birds'll have to whisper when they sing.
(Chirp chirp!)
Take away their common sense
and they'll be heading southward in the spring.

Oh, remember me, my darling when spring is in the air,
And the bald headed birds are whispering everywhere.
When you see them walking southward in their dirty underwear,
That's the Tennessee Bird Walk.

How about some trees
so the birds won't have to sit upon the ground?
(Hum)
And how about some wings
so the birds won't have to walk to get around?
And how about a birdbath or two
so the birds will all be clean?
And how about some feathers
so their underwear no longer will be seen?
How about a little (whistle)
so the birds won't have to whisper when they sing?
(Chirp chirp!)
And how about some common sense,
So they won't be blocking traffic in the spring?

Oh, remember me, my darling when spring is in the air
And the bald headed birds are whispering everywhere
When you see them walking southward in their dirty underwear
That's the Tennessee Bird Walk (Chirp chirp!)

It's always a good board day when Roger Miller gets some props.

ElVez, apparently when I was about 3 years old, I loved Roger Miller's Walkin' in the Sunshine and used to sing it out loud to everyone.

I also love Dang Me.

Hey, in Waylon's autobiography he talked about how children *love* Roger Miller's music. My first memories of him were as the minstrel troubadour in the animated Robin Hood (the one where Robin Hood & Maid Marian were foxes.....and more convincing as a couple than Costner and Mary Elizabeth Mastranto...Mastra....Mestr...aw fuck it!) and I loved his corny little Disney ditties. Absolutely loved them.
