“I Wanna Go Home To The Armadillo.”
Man that guy’s wife must be awful ugly, all scaly and stuff. Poke her and she rolls up into a thorny ball, but that ain’t none of my business.
I’ve heard that song so many times without knowing the words, let alone the source. It’s the theme song to Austin City Limits, performed by Gary P. Nunn and Jerry Jeff Walker. Oh, and by the way, unless you’re sporting functional longriders, y’all just look silly, especially yinz with the bullrider hats, unless you happen to have the legs and lunch (T&A) to go with it and are willing to share your photos on The Overnight Open Thread.

America has the most awesome indigenous music -- country, cajun, jazz, soul, rock, …
And I think it’s “go home with the armadillo — could be his wife (but I don’t think so)
“The Armadillo World Headquarters” was a popular live music venue (Rock honky-tonk)in Austin, back in the 70′s. It was called “The Armadillo” or Dillo by the locals and folks that frequented the place. Great music and fun times.
“The English sense of humor is dryer than the Texas sand” has got to be my favorite line in this song.
@ whosoever:
If I was married to an armadillo, I think I’d want to stay at the Kit Kat Club. If the rabbit-pangolin was a free bird, I certainly wouldn’t bring her home. The wife would be real pissed.

Sandra Fluke has got to be choking over this “war on women” birth control meme.
An over the counter birth control pill is possible that needs no prescription, no insurance, no tax payer dollars.

@ Philip_Daniel:
It’s back to normal. Damn, I didn’t “print page” for posterity…
@ Calo:
If she’d been choking all this time, she wouldn’t need birth control pills at all.
@ Bunk X:
If this gets through the FDA red tape, then yes, Sandra Fluke has to pay out of pocket for her birth control.
Schadenfreude.
@ Bunk X:
@ Calo:
Just watch — Sandra Fluke will, undeservedly (needless to say), be picked as Time’s Person of the Year, not the deserving Malala Yusufzai.
Let all the poisons that lurk in the mud hatch out…
@ Calo:
I think Sandra Fluke needs to divulge her own sexcapades before she can qualify for taxpayer subsidies. If she’s one of those women who are raped every 30 minutes, she might have a case, but she’s not that good looking.
@ Philip_Daniel:
I had leftover Yusufzai last night. Glad to see you’re still lurking, PD.
@ Bunk X:
Obscure pangolin reference. I am really confused now because rabbits have no scales. I suppose if there must be scales, at least they’re warm-blooded.
@ whosoever:
It’s a loose night for me. I used to play the pangolin, but the tuning and chords are odd.
@ Bunk X:
Meh, she can do it on her own dime at drug store prices.
It’ll cost her more now if this gets through the FDA.
And, I am still puzzled by her nomination as Time Person of the Year.

@ Calo:
You want to talk about getting eaten by mountain rats instead?
@ Calo:
It’s OK to just say “lilling” the thread. It’s much easier.
@ whosoever:
It used to have to do with someone named Davis. Davising happens. This thread is not Davised. Not yet.
@ Bunk X:
Bah! We are just talking to ourselves and we are really not very interesting on a slow day on the innertubes.
Now, rev me up and put me down for the night Bunk.
Frog Ball Style.
@ Calo:
Lights are off, and there’s now a whirring noise in Calo’s boudoirness. Go figure.
Okay, she’s still dieseling, but she’s out. Let’s rock.
NOW the thread has been thoroughly and fully Davised. I blame whosoever.
@ Bunk X:
Yep. A whosoever stranger lurks about some nights.
Call me paranoid, but who is whosoever and where did he go?
@ Calo:
Crap. I thought you were out for the night. I was just about to lock up.
@ Calo:
Dishes done, counter’s clean, cans crushed and recycled, floor’s mopped. What can I get you? How ’bout a gin and, um, gin?
@ Bunk X:
Old habits die hard for the night shift crew.
Lock it up and get some sleep.
I’ll see you next Sunday on BTR chat.
@ Calo:
I went to the Armadillo World Headquarters once. The show was Pete Rowan with Flaco Jimenez and his Tex-Mex Accordian Band. The audience seemed to live exclusively on Lone Star, Jack Danials and dope.
@ Mike C.:
And remember that Freewheeling Franklin sez “Dope will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no dope!”
I guess I’m showing my age…
@ Mike C.:
Don’t diss De Flaco. Make fun of Doug Sahm and Augie Myers all you want, but don’t diss De Flaco.
I wasn’t -- it was pretty good music.

No, she’s choking on something else….
Yes, it’s called a late-model Pontiac Aztek! I keep seeing one of these in the neighborhood I live in, and I really should take a picture of it. At least it isn’t Government Motore Yellow!

@ Macker:
The Aztek design lives on. See the Toyota Pious…
The indoctrination continues apace:

Good Mornin All….make it a great day
good morning!
over the counter, inexpensive birth control has been available to everyone for years.
They’re called ‘condoms’
But Fluke is a liberal, Geotwn law student so she’s really too stupid to have figured out that part.
See how easy this is? If your ethnicity is of a now protected class, you can manipulate ANYTHING into a hate-whitey narrative.

I saw this story this morning. I don’t buy it either, not one bit.
