[CoastRaven]

We'll miss ya O.the U!

Wind atcher back - road rise up to meet ya kinda thing!

[The ASK]

finally

I'll add some captions and get them in order and all that later.

[Alfred]

So thats what Amy Tan looks like Clothed.

ASK I got to say, you are the coolest looking physics teacher I have ever seen. My physics proffs were all retired Navy Nukes. Militarized Nerds.
It looks like you could take the physics to them.

Brother just got home from college. Seems he is in love.

I got a new videogame system.

[Adonis]

What up Alfred! I'm up all night tonight! Did you skimp and get the Core or break the bank and get Premium edition? (I would make a Flanders joke here, but I can't remember the name of their game system)

ASK, unbelievable. I see in one of the last pictures that DAVE IS TAKING A PICTURE OF YOU!!! Pretty sureal, huh?

Okay, I feel the need to sum up, despite the fact that no one will see this until tomorrow, err, later on today:

We switched threads again.
Tennessee was worried we were leaving him. (I can dig)
El was upset, not, wait who was that? Let's drink!
General perviness, whence Mormans were gone.
Except Sarah, who accidentally partook.
Some believe, some don't. Those that don't are hit.
EXTREME perviness.
Ditto, with veggies.
Uncle Omar is, but is not, but really is pervy.
Well-wishes to UO and his asphalt
And, the best post yet:

.

.

Alfred has a new game system! Just kidding, ASK has pictures of a RBR concert and depravity with the BLOG HIMSELF! Sweet.

Anyway, hello to all that shall read this in the morning. Blog on to enfamy!

[Adonis]

Also, Alfred I have to say that the watermoose joke was one I laughed out loud about. Great. You didn't post much the last few days, but man, when you did, awesome. Really. You didn't get NEAR enough snorks. So enjoy some from me.

[OOOOooooooohhhhh the U(manity)]

No blue shirt?

Gotta go ...

Stay well, bloggies ...

Talk @ulater ...

[Adonis]

Uncle? You see my post and you don't say anything to me? Am I invisible now? That's cold.

[cyn]

well if ya wouldn't stay up all freakin' night!

d'oh

um.. i'm thufferin' inthomnia.. whath yer excuth?!

[Meanie the Blue]

Mornin', son. Hope you are well and maintaining proper focus on the RL matters. Someday you must tell us how it's done.

ASK, congrats on a fine job there. Hangin' with the RBR's. Top shelf! (And I do want one of those shirts, hopefully before the NYC blogmeet that I am trying to arrange. See your post at the main blog).

Marie - I had a surreal experience on my commute into work this morning that made me think of you, and I'm still chuckling over it. I drive for a stretch along a highway with rest stops. As I neared one, I could see in the distance ahead of me a flatbed truck with a large, weird, shapeless green and pink thing on it. The truck soon moved into the rest stop entrance lane, and I was able to pass it and quickly glimpse its cargo: a six-foot tall ceramic Giant Frog with big googly eyes, a seven-foot pink tongue stretched out to the floor and a soccer-ball sized fly at the tip. It was a good thing my normal car-pool mates were not with me this morning, as I was able to cackle loudly for the next half hour. Other commuters seemed to be giving me an unusually wide berth.

I'm going to take my meds now.

[KDF]

ASK, we will never be able to adequately thank you for the outstanding photo essay. I particularly love 1) the making-of-the-crapcam-shot that showed up on the main page yesterday, 2) the one of Dave onstage in fullout sing/yell mode, and 3) the pic of you sitting with Amy Tan, ch@tting as the lifelong friends that you now are. Also, 4) Amy's doglit having a nap. Can't wait to read the stories, too, because I'm sure you have many.

Adonis, outstanding recap. We miss you! And while we may not have done a good job recording Alfred's well-deserved snorks, I assure you, he gets them from me every time he shows up.

Blue, your highway sighting is clearly a sign from above. Of what, I don't know. I'm not sure if you are supposed to be taking a trip to Kourou to counsel Giant Frog and Marie on... something... or maybe it's just time to double your dosage.

[wolfie]

Last night, I dreamed I was trapped in a giant bowl of fruit salad. Can't imagine why that was.

With or without captions the pics are great Ask.

It's a lovely day in the SIKoe world. Especially to hallucinate ginormous frogs on flatbeds.

[Meanie the Blue]

I am not a subscriber to the signs-from-above service, KDF. With my sometimes obsessive tendencies, reading meanings into unusual phenomena would be a dangerous thing for me, and even more dangerous for the world.

And we all know there is no shortage of unusual phenomena. Some of them even post here regularly.

[CoastRaven]

Phenomina

Doo dooo do dodo

PHENOMINA

Doo doo dodo

PHENOMINA

Doo dooo do dodo do dodo do dodo dodododo dodo doo dodo doot.

OK - so it doesnt translate well into text, but you get the point.

[Meanie the Blue]

"Trapped", she says. With all due respect, I submit that she dove in head first, and only regretted waking up. ;)

[Meanie the Blue]

SNORK!@CoastMuppet.

This shouldn't surprise you, but that song nearly always enters my head when I use that word.

I take it as a sign from above that my head needs a better sealant.

[CoastRaven]

When the movie came out, it was pretty much the soundtrack for my brain.

[Meanie the Blue]

That was in my head since I saw it as a child on the Ed Sullivan show with a muppet precursor resembling Grover .

[The ASK]

Slow start this morning?

[KDF]

Oh man, you guys are starting off with a SNORKBANG this morning. Coast, I think you translated it very well to print. And if I may reiterate, I am so glad you joined us here. :)

[KDF]

Well then, let's kick it up, The ASK.

[CoastRaven]

But we still havent addressed wolfies fruity dream.

[KDF]

Blue, slight correction on my 8:05. "Sign from below."

[CoastRaven]

And thanks for the warm welcome KDF *smooch*

[KDF]

How I would love to have been the fly on the melon in her produce aisle.

[The ASK]

Thanks CR,

Now you all (all threee of you) must pay.

[wolfie]

I did not dive in Blue. That syrup stuff was cold. And I'm still finding bits of what I think is pear in places it shouldn't be.

[The ASK]

the extra e is because there are actually four.

Coffeee - must. find. coffeee.

[KDF]

Now, that's the price of a good morning. I think I'll make that my new theme song. Muppets are cool.

[CoastRaven]

Aisle love to see what she could produce when she plays with (or pulls down) a fly!

[wolfie]

For TheAsk

[KDF]

Wolfie! That coffee is terrifying! (Though fits our theme of bizarre and snorkable signs from below.)

[wolfie]

And a CR sammich as well. Can I bum a smoke from someone please? I need one after that.
*fans self*

[slyeyes]

Wasn't the phenomena song used for a commercial last year. But I can't remember what.

You realize, of course, most of us are going to have that song in our heads all day long now.

[The ASK]

KDF - it'll be a coupla days before I get around to that project.

[The ASK]

Some soft drink I think. She's at the table enjoying the drink, he's there talking, and all she hears is "manamana."

[CoastRaven]

It was Dr Pepper... it was ALMOST enough to get me drinking the stuff on a regular basis again.

[The ASK]

Thanks Wolfie, sweetie. Could you chase the bunny away for me - I don't like the froth. Whipped cream is good though.

(he says with Sarah-like innocence)

[The ASK]

The girl was cute enought o make me drink it - even though the bubbles would explode my stomach.

Surprised Dr. P stayed in business when I had to kick the habit. Several small breweries bit the dust, though. More money for the Captain and Jose.

[CoastRaven]

And yes slyeyes, I do realize (or is that realeyes?) the earwig Meanie planted I cultivated & the ASK harvested (notice how efficiently I spread the blame?). My cube neighbors are already annoyed that I have been drumming the beat on my desk for fifteen minutes.

[KDF]

ASK, I'm a Pepper, too. I'll drink it for ya.

Could you please expand on this statement: I don't like the froth. I find this troubling.

[KDF]

And I ain't talkin' about coffee.

[wolfie]

Whipped cream is good though.
And if you wouldn't mind elaborating on that statement as well because I can only think of 1 thing whipped cream is good for. And sometimes it causes frothing.

*fluffs hair to hide horns*

[Meanie the Blue]

KDF - how dare you steal my signs-from-below angle that I was carefully reserving for my return here. My head needs more sealant, stat! Not only are earworms dancing around in pink, but peoepl are climbing in through the innuendo and stealing my stuff.

I think I will need another med break now. First, it's Giant Frogs sitting on flatbeds, now there are bunnies in my coffeeeeeeeaaaaaiiiiiggggghhhhhhh.

*loves TheAsk a new cuppa coffee to chase away the bunny.*

[sharon share-alike]

Aisle love to see what she could produce when she plays with (or pulls down) a fly!

Posted by: CoastRaven | 09:18 AM on April 28, 2006

Oh god...another punster. I'm not sure I can handle both Coast and Blue this early in the morning.

*stumps off to find non-bunny related coffee*

*or perhaps coffeee*

[The ASK]

So, when I met Laura and Tony, and told them what ASK stands for, Tony asked what my favorite karaoke songs were. I said that right now I've been doing some oldies - and I mentioned Runaround Sue as being the one that gets people's attention. Also at the top of my list are Mustang Sally and Such a Night. I usually have to sing a little bit of that last one before people recall the song - not one of Elvis' most popular.

Guess what 3 songs were on the RBR playlist.

I couldn't believe it.

[Meanie the Blue]

They're not from above. They're not from below. THEY'RE IN MY COFFEE!!!

    S       !!

[wolfie]

*removes coffee from Blues immediate vicinity*

[The ASK]

Much better, wolfie.

Now I can face the day.

As if I had a choice.

[CoastRaven]

ASK - when I used to run a karaoke show, I would always pull out the songs noone else sang as well. I figured that since I was the host, there was no reason to sing the songs that someone else was gonna want later in the evening. I used Kiss You All Over (Exile) as an opening vocal warm up, and always had to do Rock This Town (Stray Cats SOUNDING like Elvis) and Just a Gigalo to get the crowd going. My all time FAV to do was Drinkin My Baby Goodbye (Charlie Daniels) - thats another song that almost everyone knows, but noone knows they know until they hear it.

[KDF]

ASK - is there a link to you singing somewhere? sg has mentioned it, but I haven't been able to find it. If so, could you please link it here again? I'd love to hear you.

Sorry, Blue. But don't you be accusing me of Grand Theft Brain when you know I thought of it first before I corpus-callosumed it over to you.

Sharon, you haven't met Annie, yet, have you? :)

[sharon share-alike]

*taps microphone*

Can you guys hear me? I can't believe no one (wolfie) picked up on my "handle" comment!

Sheesh. I'm going back to bed.

[sharon share-alike]

Nope KDF. I was mistaken for her once, but I haven't had the pleasure of meeting her yet.

Whyfor you ask?

[CoastRaven]

sharon - I dont think you could handle both of us there either.
;-)

[sharon share-alike]

*SNORK* @ Coast!!!!

Okay, I feel better.

But I'm-a still going back to bed.

[KDF]

At the risk of repeating myself: steam is rapidly building toward a summer NYC bloglit gathering, right Blue?

Dream Bloglit Meet: All the SOKkies show up. Coast and ASK take turns leading the bloglit karaoke show, Blue hallucinates giant amphibians and disturbing messages in his beer, Wolfie leads the Fruit Salad Diving Competition, Sharon performs Shakespeare. Alfred milks his giant robotic cow, Sarah brings sweet treats, Adonis shows up with his sword and boots, but leaves his Giant Pop Tart at home.

Ready to brainstorm further, kids... and... GO!

[wolfie]

SSA ~ You seemed to be handling both the guys well enough without me interrupting the flow of things.
I'll just watch. I like watching.

[KDF]

Whyfor you ask?

Because this place is mobbed with punsters-a-plenty, and Annie is an MVP.

[The ASK]

You have to click on "listen" here.

I'll put in better songs tonight, if I get the time.

(no, Leetie, I am not doing The Time (oh we oh we oh))

I think I have Runaround Sue on cd somewhere.

CR - I usually start off with Young (Kenny Chesney). I always have to do What's Forever For, because it gets requested about a dozen times a night. I do the Stray Cats also.

[sharon share-alike]

Summer Bloglit Meet Itinerary

...and we all take KDF and wolfie to get their tattoos!

[The ASK]

NYC?

Closest I'll be is Syracuse, end of July. Doubt I can do better than that.

[The ASK]

I accidentally erased all the tattoo pics from my site last night when posting the RBR pics.

Oh well, I had a couple of new ones to add anyway.

[KDF]

Oh, ASK, yes you can. Don't make me drag you.

[CoastRaven]

What's 4ever For is a great one... I love the almost obscure songs. People seem to really appreciate when they get pulled out. It's great when I go out on the odd night (not that I dont do a show anymore) to see the hosts face when I turn in a slip to follow something like Hush with Sea of Love. They really freak out a bit sometimes.

[The ASK]

In Houston last weekend we went out on Saturday and the singers were mostly pretty good, but nobody was paying attention to them. The ex (yes, I know - its a long story) told me to do either I Melt or Runaround Sue. I did RS and the entire place went silent from the first and then started clapping along all the way to the end. I love it when that happens.

[sharon share-alike]

D@MN!! The ASK, you've got PIPES!!

I was actually going to erase that and write something different, but decided, nah...

No lie, though--made me knees go all wobbly there for a moment.

[CoastRaven]

I made my boss buy the Rocky Horror Soundtrack (at the time a pretty expensive karaoke CD) for Halloween so I could perform (and I MEAN perform) Sweet Transvestite at out party... I couldnt do a show at that bar EVER AGAIN without people insisting I do that song! It was a real redneck biker type honkytonk bar, and at the part where Frank sez "I've been makin a man with blonde ahir and a tan" I would find the biggest baddest lookin dude to use as my "Rocky". I never got in any trouble, but a couple of guys left the bar after I picked on them. HARHARHAR

[The ASK]

SSA - I absolutely despise that song - but I end up singing it almost every week (which is why), and there have been months where it won me more than I make at my day job.

I threw a wrench into the last contest I was in by doing Luther Vandross. Sure, there were a coupla guys who did some better Luther, but nobody expected the white cowboy to be able to do it.

I still finished second to the blind black guy who did Dance with My Father. But then, I would have paid to hear him.

[wolfie]

*flashing back too many many years of mispent youth*
Are you in costume during this performance CR? If not, would you consent to doing so? For us? With pictures? Possibly a video of the performance?

[Meanie the Blue]

Sorry, Sharon. I was getting ready to serve a nice breakfast of steamed innuendo with toasted buns, and then this strange coffee kinda bugged me out.

Good thing my psychoblogbrother bailed me out there, though I don't quite agree with his assessment, nor even believe he believes it. Sharon share-alike, after all....

Annie is another punmistress who would have added still more egregious violations to an already flagrant festival of fouling. She was at the original Kilt for awhile, but has been long lost, it seems. Betsy also seems to have dropped from the Kilt rotation. Would someone kindly summon them for a desk appearance?

[KDF]

*adds "showing up at an ASK karaoke night" to list of things to do*

[Marie in Kourou]

Boy, you guys have been busy while I was sleeping.

Blue, too bad you couldn't take a picture of the Giant Frog on the flatbed. I would have loved to have seen it. Giant Frog, not so much... he doesn't appreciate his nickname. *giggle* But I'm soooo mean I keep on using it.
*bursts into giggles again at the idea of Blue thinking he was hallucinating during his commute*

Wow, Wolfie. You have surreal dreams. Mine are always realistic (i.e. I don't fly or slay dragons or dive into a bowl of fruit).

Some angora bunnies for ASK. Just because I can.

[KDF]

*adds "witnessing Coast sing Sweet Transvestite to Blue" to list of required life experiences*

[CoastRaven]

I was in costume for the Haloween performance, and every time after that the only prop I used was a feather boa. Hell yeah I'd do it again if I had the chance! I have never gotten more applause for any song I have EVER done than the roars that song gets me. The few times I find a company that has it, I always put it in. There are some places I am REAL nervous to go out into the crowd, but you can tell who you can and can't mess with. There WAS one time in Salisbury I almost got my butt kicked for singling out this very large (muscular not fat) man in the crowd... but his buddies calmed him down.

[sharon share-alike]

Holy sh!t, those are the scariest bunnies I've ever seen, Marie. Those are, like, mutant monster bunnies that have been bred with a Pekingese or something. Those are Satanic mops.

Ah, Blue...you had me worried there, but your toasted buns have put me at ease.

Coast--I second wolfie's request.

[Marie in Kourou]

I saw "Rocky Horror" once, but I don't remember the "Sweet Transvestite" song. Or any of the songs, really. It was too bizarre.

[CoastRaven]

I was afraid that was gonna happen - I kept gettin server errors, and when I refreshed the page my comment wasnt there... now it is there thrice!

[Marie in Kourou]

I think CR's performance sounds better than the movie one, though.

Yeah, the angora bunnies are strange. Who would want to keep one as a pet? They must need constant grooming and shed all over the place. Plus, they look scary. The neighborhood children would run away screaming.

[CoastRaven]

OK - I make this vow to all SIKoes present and accounted for...
If there is ever a BloGettogether that I attend where there is karaoke and that song available, I will put on a performance like you've never seen!

[The ASK]

Okay, I am not standing up for the rest of the day.

Just did my bit of lecture for this period, noticed some of the girls giggling a bit, not much more than usual.

Before I go any further with this, I need to point out that, in the midst of the pic frustration last night, I forgot to finish doing laundry, so I am stuck with a slightly older (and tighter) pair of jeans today.

So finally, one of them raises a hand and asks, "what's in your pocket?"

I pull my keys out of the right side.

"No, the other one."

I never carry anything in the left pocket.

Moving behind the podium, I return to the lecture.

I can still feel the red on my face.

[KDF]

I'm getting server errors this morning too, Coast, here and elsewhere. Is the internet being attacked by giant bunnies?

[Marie in Kourou]

Don't be shy, ASK. Show us your wardrobe malfunction. I'd pay to see that!

[wolfie]

Ummm.. when were you coming up to near Syracuse again TheAsk?

*is unaccountably flushed*

[Meanie the Blue]

*Throws toilet paper*

[KDF]

What? Wolfie's in your class?

[Marie in Kourou]

*wolf-whistles* (If I may borrow it from you, Wolfie...)

[CoastRaven]

GREAT SCOTT!
ASK - sounds like there is going to be an underground fan club forming... I wouldnt be surprised if next semesters class has a larger (har) number of young ladies signed up for it.

[sharon share-alike]

*SNORK*

[KDF]

ASK, do you need someone to hold that for you?

*can't believe she's pressing post*

[The ASK]

Found a long Dave-style Hawaiian shirt in my cabinet. Not about to put it on until this class leaves, though.

[sharon share-alike]

*TOTALLY believes KDF pressed post*

[Meanie the Blue]

ASK - you were wearing the shirt that says ASK, right?

[Marie in Kourou]

C'mon, ASK, don't be shy!

[KDF]

*yes, she did*

[Marie in Kourou]

I hope I get professors as cool as you guys when I go to university.

[The ASK]

Have almost always had more girls than guys in class - even when I was teaching advanced physics.
