And was overcome with dread,
‘Cause her facial terrain
Was a snail domain,

Whyyyyy? WHY would someone do that? ICK!
I was sitting in this ugly old beat-up cab at the tow yard munching on yesterdays stale Nachos and caught the end of the broadcast. I must say that Rodan character is quite the anchor. If anyone knows him let him know I think he might be a good fit for Jack and I when we go to Tijuana to cover the bullchip throwing competition after the actual bullfights. We can talk about the Pesos later, but a firm commitment would be nice just to move forward.

Well, I made an album cover for you.

@ Bob-Crotchit:
Well, Bob I heard the broadcast, too, and let me say that it was one of the better ones. I hear more polish, and by that I’m not referring to, um, the slavic types. Maybe I should say that they have a little more English on the ball, and by that I’m not referring to, um, Anglo-Saxons. Okay, what I really mean is that they’re starting to see how radio commentary has to flow, and by that I’m not referring to, um, ah, you know, lava. Back to you, Bob.
I being from the South have Nightmares about frigging Snails.
Call them what you will for Dinner, they are still slimy pieces of Shit!

I hear you Jack. It was entertaining and understandable to boot. And I had no idea that Bronx wasn’t a foreign language. But I hear they speak the same down south in concentrated communities of Miami as well, at least those who are migratory. Who knew? That just goes to show that migration doesn’t mean one has to give up their oratory heritage. That goes for lava, birds, melons(well they don’t migrate, but they do come from somewhere else and don’t lose the taste of domesticated ones) and, well us too, that come from who knows where.
BTW, are we ever gonna get you know who on remote? Jack, back to you.

It would be funny if CJ called in some night (or else someone who can do a good impression of him).
I just love her … Marcia Ball ..
do you think we ever get past the prospect of love … no matter what our age … I think sometimes we idealize love as to what we perceived it to be as young persons … minus the jaded aspects of life … to go back to the innocence of that I guess would be ideal but we cannot except in our minds the truth and I think it is fatal … at times …. life gets us to where we are now … sigh … dreaming … anyway .. i love Marcia and she get no recognition and I love her …
is this the overnight thread … and we can post whatever .. if not … sorry …

As you may know, they can be kept as pets and will stay put as long as they are fed. We, a friend and I, used to capture them small and put in house on a plant. They like plants as a diner. Better than a Chia Pet or fish just for the fact you can watch them get bigger as they munch on whatever insect you happen to fed them.

There once was a girl
With a little yellow curl
Right in the middle of her forehead.
And when she was good,
She was very, very good;
But when she was bad, she had snails all over her face.

I used to have a spider as a pet, eventually had to drive 100 miles to buy him crickets to eat, he almost survived the winter.

47 – no problem I have tried to spread her music to other blogs also … to no avail .. I just love her and her spirit … it is so hard for talent to get exposed without a big label … I have just loved her since I was a young girl in New Orleans and listened to her so many times ..
@ Eliana:
That is clever and funny. heh

Yes, we can post whatever!! Especially music!
Thanks!
@ Bob-Crotchit:
Bronx is Bronx as they say in Brooklyn, and they’re not wrong. Heck, Bob, some of my best friends speakazie Bronx, and even they don’t know what to make of it. For example, every sentence in Bronx begins with “F***in-A.” Even they don’t know what it means.
As for the remote broadcast, WLGF has been cutting down on overhead (I see your per diem has been cut also after I complained about mine) and the grand poobah has been arbitrarily changing his telephone number. I don’t know how he does it, but he’s hard to contact these days.
Meanwhile, I’m an airliner out of fuel, circling the airstrip and trying to wake the traffic controllers.
All I can say is “F***in-A,” and back to you, Bob.
@ JacksonTn:
Tell me about it. I have stories of great musicians I’ve personally known that never made it. Why? I don’t know. I’ve been around music my whole life and do know some that made it, but some equally talented who never saw the light of day when it comes to making it big time.
Some say that one must ride a trend or re-manufacture it as though new. There is some truth to that and I tend to agree with it. But if one must ride a trend then something new and unique must be brought to the table, as it were.
@ Eliana:
I do love holidays.
Happy Passover.
@ Calo:

As you know I was born in the West and for years and years I thought that Bronx was the method where baby shoes were cast in metal. All shiny and memento like. I love those things. I’m thinking about replacing the fuchsia dice on the refurbed cabs rear view mirror with them. Balance.
We still have our jobs, but the personal per diam is a stifle. And I have no idea why every time I call Brent his voice mail if full. Spitzer must be busy lining us up for a new and better gig. We should know after the LA Chi-Town Ping Pong prelims. I’m betting heavily that we will at least get the Hacky Sack championship series come August.
Back to you Jack.

@ Bob-Crotchit:
Bob, I’ve known you for decades, and you’ve always been honest with me. I appreciate that… I really do, but then you go and bring up that hackysack business. Okay, at least it’s a gig, it just rubs me the wrong way.
For years I had to put up with taunts like, “Here comes Jack from Hackensack with a Hacky-Sack and a Prophy-Lac-Tic on his back.” And that was in third grade. The guys’ taunts were even worse. Thank God I’ve forgotten all about it and moved on.
Ready to do the sign-off, Bob? I’m outta here.

That was a little ditty that my mother would recite to get us young tads to go to sleep. She’d rub her forefinger on our foreheads in a circular motion while whispering the poem.
The last line is, “…and when she was bad, she was HORRID!” and at the last word she’d grab us by the ribs. Yeah, we didn’t sleep for years.
@ JacksonTn:
Jackson – great to hear you on the show tonight.
And, your Southern hospitality and charm shines bright.
But SADM a tune to sleep by, please.

Last Tuesday I had to have my second ever cavity/bad tooth pulled and the Dentist did something I’ve never heard of. He did this weird kinda sleight of hand thing. Rather than swabbing the gum with a numbing agent he grabbed my jaw with his fingers (gloved) and did this weird shake and said something akin to waakka waaka, like look over here and moved my attention, and stuck the needle into my gum. There was no pain as he pushed the needle in. I’ve only been to a dentist a few times in my life and as strange as it may sound I really enjoyed it this time round. Not for the work, but that he was genuinely a funny and great host. He asked me if I wanted the tooth and when I declined he shot the thing into a trash can as though he were in the NBA playoffs. Unconventional yeah, but funny as allah ordering pigs in a blanket from iHop.

The mind is an amazing piece of work. Consider all the stuff you see, hear, smell and feel, and then think of how the brain is programmed to ignore the unimportant stuff.
Just about everything I sit on feels like underwear.
I first heard this song from lgf from someone there but regardless .. it is a great song .. and I still miss this person posting ..

Lefty yeah, but highly entertaining.
@ song_and_dance_man:
Yep I know that one. Actually I prefer the remake of it by Disturbed.
I like this one better…..when I am feeling like a metal head.
@ NoThreat2U:
Sorry about the slow reply. Listening to stuff that may not interest anyone here. The Monks from the 60′s on a German show. Punk before the punk scene.
There is way too much music that was regional that has never been heard by more than the locals in their time.
Are those TN fighters? Great rendition of the Genesis song.
@ song_and_dance_man:
It’s cool. Here, I’m gonna post another Disturbed song. This should tell you where they are coming from:
I dont know what the symbol was supposed to represent, but I think they did a good job of taking that song back from the left. If you think about the words,it’s true. It is just the original made Reagan look like a bad guy. And no biggy, take your time replying. I am just surfing around anyway
A little melodic banjo anti-metal…
Hat tip -- TGoP at GCP.

That was very soothing.
Ain’t that the truth? The boys are pretty smooth…
