Those plonkers probably thought the badges were bling ...

....or are you just glad to see me?
Posted by: Betsy | March 25, 2008 at 02:14 PM
Is that an anti theft device or are you pleased to see me.

Mot! Belated birthday greetings! I hope you had a wonderful day.
Posted by: Just Ducky | March 25, 2008 at 02:21 PM
I'm wondering if the coathangers being still in the shirts they were wewaring also raised police suspicion.
Posted by: afkat | March 25, 2008 at 02:23 PM
Thanks JD. The best part was when we skyped my daughter in Colorado and little Millicent (3 and a bit) sang happy birthday to me.

HIGH-RISE CRANE CRASHES THROUGH MIAMI HOME; FATALITY REPORTED WORKERS TRAPPED
YIPES!
Posted by: Siouxie | March 25, 2008 at 02:38 PM
The way she moves her hips to her fingertips
I feel Im heaven bound
And when she starts to sway, Ive gotta say
She really move the grass around
Rock-a-hula baby
Rock-a-hula baby
Got a hula lulu from honolulu
That rock-a-hula baby of mine
Although I love to kiss my little hula miss
I never get the chance
I wanna hold her tight all through the night
But all she wants to do is dance
I bet that she could teach the palms along the beach
To sway when breezes blow
And birds up in the sky could learn to fly
By watchin how my baby can go
Posted by: lilrascal | March 25, 2008 at 02:43 PM
I'm caught in the back
I can't get out
Because I stole way too much baby
Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I say?
We can't go on together
With suspicious pants
And we can't build our defense
in suspicious pants
So, if an old friend I know
Drops by to say hello
Would I still see suspicion in your eyes?
Here they go again
Asking where we've been
You can't see these tears are real
I'm crying
We can't go on together
With suspicious pants
And we can't build our defense
In suspicious pants
Oh let our frerdom survive
Or take those tags from your thighs
Let's don't let a good thing die
When honey, you know
I dropped a dime on you
Mmm yeah, yeah
Posted by: Hammond Rye | March 25, 2008 at 02:58 PM

Posted by: GoDiva | March 25, 2008 at 03:08 PM
Excellent Hammond. I think I like that version better that the original.
Posted by: Wench Lizzy | March 25, 2008 at 03:12 PM
YAY, Hammie! Excellent. *WAVES* You're quicker than I am!
Siouxie, my version is LTTG, and I like Hammie's better, but here you go:
We're caught in a trap
We can't get out
Because my pants are purloined, baby
Officer, please
You know, I just bought these
What? You don't believe a word I say?
Why don’t you just forget you
Saw suspicious jeans
And let us go on through
With suspicious jeans
So, if this cash in my hand
Dropped out just where you stand
Would I still see suspicion in your eyes?
Plastic tags, my friend?
You’ll still apprehend?
You can't really blame a bloke
for trying
Chorus
Oh let us go, we’ll drive
I ‘ve got five kids you’ll deprive
Don’t make me do two to five
Now bobby, you know
I’d never lie to you
Mmm yeah, yeah
Posted by: Just Ducky | March 25, 2008 at 03:13 PM
YAY @ Duckness!!! BOTH brilliant!!!
Thanks, both of you! It's actually one of my favorite songs by The KING.

But what about the drunk driving lesson on the side?

Dang it! I now have "Suspicious minds" running through my head. AAARRRGHGGHHHHH!!!
Posted by: silver | March 25, 2008 at 04:09 PM
Hi, ho, Silver.
We could always replace it with another song....although you may regret it.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 25, 2008 at 04:13 PM
Ducky, I've heard it's a HOOT!!
Posted by: Siouxie | March 25, 2008 at 04:13 PM
Annie, I agree. Another song may be worse. After all, it's a small...small world.
Posted by: Siouxie | March 25, 2008 at 04:15 PM
Yes,it's a world of earwigs, a world of fears...
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 25, 2008 at 04:17 PM
*plugs ears, shouts*
THANKS, DUCKY!! SOUNDS LIKE FUN!

Earwigs?

Hi jug!
Bye jug!
Quittin' time!! laters!
Posted by: Siouxie | March 25, 2008 at 04:23 PM
Please do not share
Your earwigs without care!
;)
Posted by: Diva | March 25, 2008 at 04:25 PM
Afternoon, jug! *waves earwigs*
Posted by: Diva | March 25, 2008 at 04:27 PM
Jeeez, I step away for a bit, come back and discover that my pants no longer trust me. Guess I'll be frisked every time I put them on.
Hmmm, that could be very nice!
Posted by: Texgal | March 25, 2008 at 04:32 PM
Hey, Jug, Diva! Looks like I got here at just the right time!
Posted by: baligurl | March 25, 2008 at 04:34 PM
I'm sure my cousin Ernestine would volunteer, Tex.
Hi and Bye Siouxie.
Hi Diva.
Posted by: jugheaded | March 25, 2008 at 04:34 PM
Is cousin Ernestine a professional???
Posted by: Texgal | March 25, 2008 at 04:37 PM
Hey bali! LTNS How have you been?
No, Tex. She just wears a lot of flannel.
Posted by: jugheaded | March 25, 2008 at 04:40 PM
Hey, Tex! Heard you diisin' the fine state of Oklahoma yesterday. ^5.
Jug, I'm great, just busy with scuba season and all. You?
Posted by: baligurl | March 25, 2008 at 04:42 PM
I have been traveling bali, but now I am back home. (At least until Friday-then its off to Dallas for dad's wedding).
Posted by: jugheaded | March 25, 2008 at 04:45 PM
Yay for Dad! I'm just a couple of hours from Dallas, I'll wave at you from my treehouse. (Look north.)
Posted by: baligurl | March 25, 2008 at 04:47 PM
Oh, cool for your dad. (Um, it is cool, right?)
What's ev'body drinkin' tonight? I'm too toasty in my office for the moment, so I will be having something light and icy.
Posted by: Diva | March 25, 2008 at 04:51 PM
The wedding is actually in Denton on Sunday. Stop by if you aren't busy. I am sure their will be plenty of alcohol. Plus, it would confuse the heck out of my dad and new step mom and that might be fun to watch.
Posted by: jugheaded | March 25, 2008 at 04:52 PM
Diva, dad turns 80 in a couple of months. Its probably a good thing. My sister is just happy that now someone else can remind him where he left his car keys, etc. I don't think, at that age anyway, there are shotguns involved. All in all, I suppose its good.
Posted by: jugheaded | March 25, 2008 at 04:56 PM
That would be fun, Jug! You're my kinda guy!
Diva, how's about a Tecate?
Posted by: baligurl | March 25, 2008 at 04:57 PM
Noon Sunday. I'll send the address when I get it from my sister. You can wear your scuba gear, if you want to.
Posted by: jugheaded | March 25, 2008 at 04:59 PM
That works, bali. I found a couple just roaming the streets looking to get drunk. ;-) *groans in anticipation*
jug - more power to him if he wants to remarry at that age! My mom is in her early 70s and probably never will, but I would totally support it as long as I knew he would treat her well.
bali - you should so go to the wedding! Then y'all can send us pichers!
Posted by: Diva | March 25, 2008 at 05:01 PM
Why, Jug, is it supposed to rain Sunday? It does make me feel neat and trim, tho...
Posted by: baligurl | March 25, 2008 at 05:02 PM
Scuba gear?!? Oh, I cannot WAIT for the pictures of this event. It might even make the Blog's front page!
Posted by: Diva | March 25, 2008 at 05:04 PM
Well, to be totally honest bali, I just thought a picture of you swing dancing in your flippers might be fun. Of course, if you would rather wear your boots, that's ok too. I would if I wasn't expected to suit up.
Posted by: jugheaded | March 25, 2008 at 05:06 PM
Oh! Now I understand better. I heard a story from a Marine that was in the same "Hotel" as McCain and he related that, when McCain had been brought back from "Excercise" they were placed in adjacent rooms. They talked, and when McCain learned he was a Marine, he said "I always wanted to be a Marine." The first said, "Hey, you were an Academy guy, you could have gotten into the Marines." McCain said, "I wasn't qualified; my parents were married."

More apropos of the earlier "party pants" story, perhaps, but let's not forget about "the excitement of David Bowie" (actual marketing phrase from the trailer!) in Labyrinth, doing the "Pants, Tragic Pants" routine, as we call it around chez dances.

Thanks, Diva. Not sure what the bot happened there!
Posted by: danceswithvowels | March 25, 2008 at 06:14 PM
It's weird - happens occasionally, I've noticed, but couldn't tell ya why! Hey, wait - you're the IT guy. You're supposed to KNOW why! ;)
