My first deep sea ship went from Fla to Ukraine. (Veer left from Miami, take a right into the med then bare left at the Bosphorus straight. If you hit Iserial, you went to far) Funny thing about the straight is as you sail threw, a dog will bark until you pass, then the next dog on either side will bark until you pass. I think they are warning where the approaching army is from eons of wars between Europe and Asia. But when you get to the aptly named Black sea, even the seagulls are skinny. I was told that they have little to feed on. Hope this works. Seems crazy though

Well, since songs unsuitable for work are being posted on this thread, allow me to offer up my own contribution. I used to live in Calgary, home of the Calgary Stampede (the biggest rodeo on earth). In 1986, the most played song on radio (yes, regular radio, and without "beeps") was This song. Personally, I was shocked that itr was broadcast, but....no complaints, apparently.
Posted by: afkat | 09:08 PM on March 26, 2008
Ya know, I know every song he ever did, by heart.
You may decide to ride in the utility trailer.

To correct the record, I'm not terribly fond of the song. Frankly, I find it pretty much juvenile, kind of like kids writing dirty words on washroom stall walls for kicks.
I was just surprised that it was broadcast on regular radio, during the '86 Stampede, without the appropriate bleeps.
Posted by: afkat | 09:36 PM on March 26, 2008
Afkat, it's David Allen Coe, a much-loved wacko; normally heard, down here, but not before Grandma goes to bed.

Posted by: drivesburblikesportscar | 10:00 PM on March 26, 2008
Coe was already a legend, back in the 70s when I first heard him. The song you linked was a novelty tune, but all of his stuff is very edgy. His stuff is extremely popular, amongst those that know of him. Among the really edgy Country folks like Haggard, Cash, Paycheck, or Nelson...Coe was the guy out at the very edge.
The song you posted was a fun, novelty song of his, done as a fake square-dance tune. Har! None of his stuff was SFW, but that one became very popular, as a dance tune. I never saw him, except in really seedy bars with carpets full of cigarette burns and beer stains. He runs with a very rough crowd, but I admire him and he has written some amazing songs.

Posted by: Eleanor | 10:18 PM on March 26, 2008
When I was a younger, Coe lived a block over from us. He had a black Fleetwood with fins with David Allen Coe written in lariat script on the fins. The neighbors got irked because he used to park his tour bus in the circular drive in front of his house. It caused quite an uproar.

El, you did not mis-hear. I have always thought that was exactly what he was saying. I think jug is from Texas and that gives it some gray-area, but he's definitely prejudiced and a bigot. I wouldn't say he's a racist, as in White-Supremacist, but he's definitely closed-minded.
A guy like Coe has a hard time deciding whether he's a Hell's Angel (West Coast) or an Outlaw (Tampa); but he certainly has no use for anybody in-between. He's not so much an anachronism as he is somebody, literally, from the past. He was this way, 40 years ago, but everybody else died off and he's not into drugs or alcohol the way they were. I don't know for certain that is the lyric, but I have always thought so.
For the record, if he and I ever had a beer, I would whack him with his walker before I got him another beer. I hang out with Outlaws and Mafia and the Black gangs, because it is part of living in large towns in the south, but I don't put up with their crap. You'd be surprised at the extent to which nobody has ever just stood up to people like that and said, "Oh, just stop." I know. The "Outlaws" played at my brother's wedding and I have close friends within them, but I just read about two Hells Angels sneaking around an Outlaw's camp outside of Sturgis that are now indicted for murder. I often feel as if I have to grab big, mean guys by the ponytails and bonk their heads together. Talk and laws and stuff don't work. They have to get to know you and then you can make some progress with these big dopes. There is no talking sense into the young ones, you just have to work on the older guys. As for the Angels and Outlaws, think about it; it's not about anything except, "Not my group."
Please don't take it personally. These guys will shoot turtles if they see them (Big Challenge!), until somebody knocks the rifle out of their hands and tells them to stop shooting turtles. Nobody in their lives has ever done that, before, so it takes time. You'd be surprised; most of them are just good guys that never had anybody tell them to stop shooting turtles.
I spent the best part of an afternoon getting to know an uncle before he learned I meant it about talking about people as groups, or to stop picking guns up out of the corner and handing them to me.
True story, he kept handing me long arms (not hand guns) and I kept wincing and saying, "Jesus! Is that loaded?" I don't know isn't a good enough answer, for me. Long story (Har!) short, I had him empty every one and we studied them. He didn't even know what they were, only what he used them for.
Blog question: does anybody (no Googling) know why an M-1 is a carbine or what a carbine is? I had always heard about it, or read about it, but why is a carbine different than a rifle? He and I know, now, 'cause I made him put those things away and then he and I spent the rest of the evening studying guns on the internet (much safer!) on his computer. Plus he doesn't hand me loaded guns, anymore. I come from a family that is very prejudiced, but I wasn't brought up that way by my parents. Nobody in my family uses bad words, to me, about any group. Or I might have to kick their ass. Except they are mostly bigger than me, but you get the idea.

Thanks, CJ. Since I'm not a gun person I can't answer your carbine question.
At the court where I worked in a clerical position before I was a CDA we had a lot of Hell's Angels drifting in and out. The small town where it was located, east of San Diego had a large contingent of Hell's Angels and one of the most famous H.A. bars on the west coast. (I think it's still there.) So I dealt with some of them when they came in to court for various things, and defended some when I was a CDA. The ones with swastika tattoos kind of bothered me (!) but you just have to remove yourself and do your job.

Posted by: Eleanor | 11:58 PM on March 26, 2008
El, I got your front. I was born and raised overseas where just being an American got your @ss kicked; my best buddy was a Jewish guy and we are still close. @ 1976, when I was 16, I was hauled up out of a chair, taken out back, and beaten with rebar, until ordinary Jamaicans came to my rescue, risking their lives; the guys that were wailing on me were Jamaican government people. I will never forget the people that came to my aid.
Most Americans have never seen real adversity. America has always been a target; we act as if this is something new, but it isn't. Now that I am comfortably in my middle-age, it's easy to live in this country, but I make no excuses for my own family. Some are dumb, but none are dumb on purpose.
Carbines look like rifles, but they are short. The idea is, carbines can be carried by soldiers, so that they can move through jungles or tight city quarters. Rifles are long.
All my life, I had heard about 30 Ought Six ammunition as if it was something different, a bullet larger than 30 caliber; it isn't. 30-06 is a small, 30 caliber bullet, designed in 1906, to fit a short carbine. It was greatly resisted by WWII troops that knew about guns, but it is a lasting design. It turns out to be a very interesting story, for those that may be interested.
Meanwhile, so far, it sounds like we have 3 blogals and me for the camping trip/art show this weekend, so please leave a message.

OK, I'm clearly on a CJrant here, but I'm just in a mood.
Let's not boycott the Olympics, this year.
I was around, back in 1980 when we didn't allow our athletes to go to Moscow, because they had invaded Afghanistan. Think about the great atheletes that had to stay home.
We lost an opportunity for our best atheletes to go to Moscow and we ruined their dreams. Personal, CJrant opinion, we go to China and kick their butts on their home turf. I know politicians think they get to make this decision, but they are mistaken. Politicians are usually nothing but people that can't possibly get real jobs.
China has always had a brutal regime; let's bring on the funk. Personal opinion.

Posted by: CJrun | 12:53 AM on March 27, 2008
LTTG, but ...
CJ ... an M-1 is not the same thing as an M-1 Carbine ... (the "shorter" description works fairly well, for a briefer explanation)
the cartridge used in the M-1 is the .30-'06 (which, BTW, wuz GREATLY accepted as early as pre-WW1 ... the M-1 rifle is whut wuzn't much thought of thru a large part of WW2 ... and the cartridge wuz NOT designed to fit into a "smaller" rifle ... that came later, when the Carbine wuz developed ... the "original" action designed to use the .30-'06 wuz the 1903 Springfield rifle ... a bolt-action, based on the Mauser design, that held five cartridges ... the later M-1 held eight cartridges ... the Carbine had sum variations, with magazines that held as many as 20 (or 30? I fergit right now) cartridges ...
the cartridge for the M-1 Carbine is .30 caliber, but is NOT the same cartridge as the .30-'06 ... it's shorter, partly to allow for a shorter action, thereby reducing the size of the entire assembly ...
the "size" concept is fairly accurate as well ... designated loosely as "better than a pistol, but not as good as a rifle" ... the Carbine wuz adopted to allow more mobility with less weight, both for rifle and ammo ...
Contrary to much propaganda and Hollywood exaggeration, most soldiers are not "excellent" markspersons, and the Carbine offered an opportunity for more "spray" shooting, with the hopes of hitting a desired target ... very few of the M-1 rifles were modified to allow full automatic firing, but that feature wuz more readily available with the Carbine ...
These .30 caliber cartridges were abandoned after WW2 and the arrangement of NATO ... when the "NATO" cartridge (7.62 mm, or .308 caliber) was adopted, with the theory that all NATO forces could use each others' ammo more easily ... later on, the switch to the M-16 (and variations) led to the adoption of the .223 cartridge, which offered sum "interesting" alternatives as regards ballistics, bullet behavior and still remaining within the tenets and principles of the Geneva Convention as regards "humane" firearms ... (there's definitely gotta be an oxymoron sumplace in there ... prolly right behind "miltary intelligence" ... eh?)
/TMI ... sorry about that ... but you did (sorta) ask ...
Posted by: OtheU(manity) | 01:31 AM on March 27, 2008
OtheU(manity), Thanks. I was wondering too. In no way TMI and I always wondered how tracer rounds, on the ground got past the talks.
Posted by: GungaDan | 01:50 AM on March 27, 2008
... um ... mebbe they're the ones that aren't s'posed to hit people?
(Ya wanna know the "intesting" part of the ballistic characteristics of the .223 v. "conventionally accepted" bigger calibers?)
Posted by: OtheU(manity) | 02:43 AM on March 27, 2008
Actually, (frum omissions of longer post, above) ... if one wanted the .30-'06 in a full automatic version, the BAR (Browning Automatic Rifle) wuz the option most readily available ... the Johnson (IANMTU) wuz a later development, but since the War Department (not re-named to Dept. of DEFENSE until after WW2, I think) had already committed to the BAR ... which had a magazine that held 20 of the .30-'06 cartridges ... it (BAR) weighed sumthin' like 16-18 pounds, about twice that of the M-1, and it took a large soldier to carry and operate it effectively ... another variant wuz the .30-caliber machine gun, usually tripod or pylon-mounted ... I dismember if that also used the .30-'06 cartridge ... yet another option was the BOY rifle (I fergit that actual name for the acronym) ... it wuz a bolt-action, and fired the same cartridge as the .50-caliber Browning machine gun ... another weapon that took a strong GI to carry ...
The Carbine .30 cartridge was also much smaller in diameter than the .30-'06, very nearly a straight-sided case, as I recall ... rather like a long pistol cartridge ...
The Carbine was (reputedly) the weapon of choice of Audie Murphy, the most decorated US soldier of WW2 ...
That cartridge did not have the power, range, velocity or "punch" of the larger .30-'06, but it is arguable that a .30 caliber hole thru ones integumentary tissue did little to contribute to the well-being of most people who got in the way of one (or more) of the projectile ...
The .30-'06 cartridge also was available in tracer, armor-piercing and — I think — a couple of more options ... the Carbine ammo wuz generally only of the single "rock throwing" type ...
All "miltary" cartridges, by definitions based on the Geneva Convention, are "full metal jacketed" ... which (theoretically) means that the bullet will not "mushroom" on impact, and the hole produced will not be "inhumanely" enlarged by such characteristics as exhibited by "soft-point/hunting" bullets.

I don't know the dynamics of how you guys know each other -- if only on this blog or from other contacts -- but CJrun appeared, at least to me, to be exposing a few of his own biases. This blog is not the place for ANYONE to be casting character aspersions against other blogits. CJ, you were complaining about others who used this blog as an attack vehicle, so it surprises me that you appear to be guilty of the same offense only a few days after posting your complaints. However, if I misread your comments, then I apologize.

Hey, there, Tex! Trade you a cinnamon apple muffin for a cuppa that Hot Job. (Pronounced like the Biblical Job. That's what my daughter called coffee when she was little.)

Morning, Texgal. I don't think CJ was talking aboaut any blogpersons. I think he was talking abouat a singer, his family, & people he knows/hangs out with.

FWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!
jug, ftr, I am MOST sure that CJ was referring to Coe and not you. Although I did not read the entire rant (I need a double espresso frapuccino cubano latte for that). I have NO idea who Coe is, btw. I just thought the song was funny.
GOOD MORNING!!

Hey, bali, didn't see you here.
Whazzup??

Morning, bali! *carefully hands bali a cuppa Hot Job, then snarfs the apple cinnamon muffin* Yummy!!!
Posted by: Texgal | 07:44 AM on March 27, 2008
Hey, Sio...that was my take, too.
*sips coffee, watching Morning Joe

*sigh*
i believe cj mistyped jug when he meant coe.

Maybe, but this quote makes me think otherwise:
{El, you did not mis-hear. I have always thought that was exactly what he was saying. I think jug is from Texas and that gives it some gray-area, but he's definitely prejudiced and a bigot. I wouldn't say he's a racist, as in White-Supremacist, but he's definitely closed-minded....} Posted by: CJrun | 11:14 PM on March 26, 2008

WHAT?!
I was referring to the David Allen Coe Song!
The guy is a holdover and, in my opinion prejudiced (makes his mind up before he meets someone), although maybe not a racist (thinks his race is superior).
I made that comment because the song in the link way up there has a lyric that I believe Eleanor heard correctly. Jeez, jug, I hope yhou were kidding and you didn't think I was talking about you!
Yikes!
Posted by: CJrun | 07:58 AM on March 27, 2008
Tex...I thought he was talking about David Allen Coe in that post.
I think you have to go back to the whole conversation about Coe to get what he's talking about.

Morning CJ, pardon while I defend your honor.
Posted by: daisymae | 08:00 AM on March 27, 2008
Double post bad!! Still trying to get familiar (that sounds a bit dirty) with my new notebook PC. Need more coffee!
Posted by: Texgal | 08:00 AM on March 27, 2008
*needs more coffee before so many simuls so I can enjoy them fully*
Posted by: daisymae | 08:01 AM on March 27, 2008
CJ, then please accept my sincere apology.

Posted by: Texgal | 08:02 AM on March 27, 2008
CJ...I agree about Olympics. I don't like what's happening in Tibet, but I don't think the athletes should be penalized. My daughter is studying in Beijing right now, and I'd be very upset if the government said she had to come home in the middle of her studies (as opposed to coming home for a visit, which would thrill me).
Posted by: daisymae | 08:04 AM on March 27, 2008
Tex, I agree that it LOOKS like cj was talking about jug being the racist, but I think cj was just making an unclear connection between jug and his one-time neighbor Coe and mixed two thoughts together. From everything I have seen of cj, he wouldn't cast aspersions on someone like that, much less on someone so new here and so contrary to that kind of accusation.
Appears to be a careless mistake to me. Oh, the perils of ranting.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | 08:07 AM on March 27, 2008
Please move my comment to before cj clarified. Thank you.

*SMACKS* COE
*takes beer away from CJ*
I think we're good now.
Posted by: Siouxie | 08:21 AM on March 27, 2008
OOOOOOOOOOOOkay. now that we've got that cleared up, grunts and grits for breakfast?
Posted by: crossgirl | 08:28 AM on March 27, 2008
I like grits, crossgirl, but what's 'grunts'?
Posted by: baligurl | 08:32 AM on March 27, 2008
*grrrrrrrrrrrrrunt*
Yes, please..with lots and lots of crispy bacon!
*smooch* bali!
Posted by: Siouxie | 08:38 AM on March 27, 2008
lovely fried with a nice side of buttery grits. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Posted by: crossgirl | 08:39 AM on March 27, 2008
I'm guessing pork, probably sausage, but I've been known to misinterpret posts.
Posted by: Texgal | 08:40 AM on March 27, 2008
Yummm! Grunts must be bacon. *makes note of new term and holds out plate* Thanks, crossgirl!!!!
Posted by: Texgal | 08:43 AM on March 27, 2008
Goes back and looks at cg's link. Oops!!!! Should have done that before last post. Grunt's a fish, not a pig. Misinterpretation on Texgal's part seems to be running rampant today.
Note to self: Driving could be hazardous today.
Posted by: Texgal | 08:49 AM on March 27, 2008
I never woulda thought fish. I mean, I see grunts every time I dive, but I've never eaten one. Now grouper...that's a meal! Pigs grunt, so I'm going with bacon or sausage, just a personal choice. Joinme, Tex? Pig good.
*smooch* Siouxie, how's yer mornin'?
Posted by: baligurl | 08:53 AM on March 27, 2008
CJ, I honestly didn't think you were talking about me, but then had a moment of self doubt and thought it would be best to clarify.
Let's put this one in the 'no harm, no foul' category.
Good morning everyone.
Posted by: jug | 08:55 AM on March 27, 2008
Yay, Jug! We're having fish/bacon and grits for breakfast, want a plate?
Posted by: baligurl | 08:57 AM on March 27, 2008
Only if I can have a big mug of coffee with it bali.
Posted by: jug | 09:01 AM on March 27, 2008
*pours a 32 ouncer for the Jugman*
Caffeine up, Big Daddy!
Posted by: baligurl | 09:03 AM on March 27, 2008
That ought to cure what ails me. Thanks. You doing all right today?
Posted by: jug | 09:06 AM on March 27, 2008
*wheels in humongous 55 gallon mug*
Fill 'er up, please! (Hold the grunts & grits)
Posted by: Punkin | 09:08 AM on March 27, 2008
I'm great today, it helps to help, like you said. Good for fixing the insides.
Posted by: baligurl | 09:08 AM on March 27, 2008
Mornin', Punkin! Would you like the IV set-up with that vat of coffee?
Posted by: baligurl | 09:09 AM on March 27, 2008
Good deal. It beats the heck out of other forms of escape or medication.
Posted by: jug | 09:12 AM on March 27, 2008
*snorks* @ bali's driving grunts comment.
Yup, I will join you in a bacon/fish/grits and coffee fiesta. Do I detect a budding blog romance?
*feels need to avoid making potentially false assumptions*
Posted by: Texgal | 09:12 AM on March 27, 2008
Nah, Jug has a woman. I'm the back-up.
Posted by: baligurl | 09:13 AM on March 27, 2008
Morning, blogits! Coffee, please? No need to fry the grunts for me. ;)
Posted by: Cat R | 09:13 AM on March 27, 2008
Morning, Cat. Nice coat!!!!
Posted by: Texgal | 09:18 AM on March 27, 2008
Oh, and a belated SNORK to crossgirl for her musical link. That one's been bookmarked.
Thanks, Texgal. I attribute the sheen to Omega-3.
Posted by: Cat R | 09:20 AM on March 27, 2008
Its always good to have a plan B. Is there any orange juice around here?
Posted by: jug | 09:23 AM on March 27, 2008
*snork* @ plan B. I just hate it when I'm plan Z.
Posted by: Texgal | 09:26 AM on March 27, 2008
At work now!
jug, glad to know you got that cleared up!
bali, morning just started here in Tax central. I'll be off in a bit to crunch those numbers. UGH!
Posted by: Siouxie | 09:30 AM on March 27, 2008
Well, kids, I'm off to the gym! Y'all play nice til I get back!
Posted by: Plan B | 09:32 AM on March 27, 2008
