Post me! Post meeee!

[Annie Where-but-here]

Drummers. Ugh. Some of them actually think they're musicians.

[Erb's point]

All they need now is a little Manilow

[Siouxie]

*snork*!!

This guy is too funny. Unfortunately, you have to endure the horrific singing to get the full effect.

[CJrun]

He's a shoe-in for the Lock Bottom Lemainders!

[I wondered what my college roommate was up to, now]

[Annie Where-but-here]

Btw- worst keyboardist ever.

[Siouxie]

There's a keyboard?? I guess I'm just paying too much attention to that drummer dude. Of course, no one in the RBRs is an attention hog Mr. Stephen "More Cowbell" King.

[fivver]

Love how the singer has the microphone cord tied into a noose at the end...

[Lairbo]

At first I thought he was a Hervé Villechaize impersonator. NTTAWWT.

Diapered Monkey Traffic Chaos would be a good name for an album. By a group with this guy as the drummer.

[CJrun]

Worst keyboardist? OK, but this is the worst keyboard ever. I think I need a beer....

[diverdowndoc]

Tommy Ree- rook out!!

[Siouxie]

*snork* @ ddd!!! stand by the phone! I'm gonna call you in a few!!! I got the plaque - OMG I LOVE IT!! Thank you!!!!

[Annie Where-but-here]

My friend's band had a drummer whose eyes would roll back into his head when he played. A tad disturbing. They solved it by putting sunglasses on him.
This guy needs a seatbelt and a valium. And a beating.

[CJrun]

And a crew-cut.

[btw, my previous post 'had' a link, but I must have screwed it up. That's OK, just trust that it was baaad.]

[Wench Lizzy]

I couldn't understand the words but it sounded like a "Love gone really wrong" song. To make him feel at home. While he missed his baby. While he missed his baby.

[Annie Where-but-here]

That's ok, CJ. I put a cute puppy pic out on my blog for you. Ok, not really for you, but he IS cute.

[crossgirl]

siouxie, my kids went to the dentist today they have plaque too. a dual celebration is in order for sure!

[Cheryl Howard]

Whew. For a second I read that as ddd giving Siouxie the plague.

[CJrun]

Cheryl, there are also rumors to that effect.

Annie, don't let crossgirl read that or she'll stage a faux Viking funeral for her stinky-dog.

[Annie Where-but-here]

CJ - I'm good with that. Cute dog update - Jake was just out back trying to rip his 'macho' sweater to shreds on the bushes.

[jug]

Is the bar open?

[Cheryl Howard]

Wow Annie, I hadn't checked out your blog for awhile. Kudos on the quote for the pulitzer prize winning booger author. And for the cute dog!

[Annie Where-but-here]

Thanks, Cheryl. I also got a nice compliment from an Emmy-winner. It's on the 'Dating a Single Mom' thread comments.
*slides beer and his standard Friday night attire down to jug*

[Meanie the Blue]

Wow! It's Keith Sun-Yung Moon!

[Meditrina]

Jug, you look mighty festive this evening. How's the beer?

EG @ Annie.

[Annie Where-but-here]

I think that's a good look for him, don't you, Med?

[Meditrina]

And hey, Annie, a lot of my pals told me what a great writer I am after my April Fool's spoof.

They also told me I am evil, twisted, sick, and just plain mean. Thank goodness, they love me and laughed with me anyhow.

wait.... no emmy, pulitzer, or nobel prize winners in the bunch. Darn. But there was an Olympic Gold Medalist... that count?

[crossgirl]

silly cj, you can't have a viking funeral, faux or otherwise, for a german dog. i'm thinking gas chamber for the stinky beast. i know just the chemical combo....

[Cheryl Howard]

Color me impressed Annie. :)

I'd ask you to send down a glass of red--but alas I have to go party with a Police Chief (retirement party) so I'd better play it straight.

[CJrun]

Annie, speaking as a guy of the male gender, if we're gonna have cowboy boots on either side of our head, they had better be red and have more heel....

[jug]

I love the sideburns Annie. And thanks for the beer.
So, you like this look, huh Med.

[Wyo Cowboy]

I couldn't understand a word of that song. Koreans, like the French, must have a different word for everything.

[jug]

Wyo if you had understood the words I would have been scared.

[Annie Where-but-here]

Have fun, Cheryl - if cops are there, alcohol will be, also.
*smacks CJ*
CG - sorry about the dog, I think.
Jug - Med LOVES that look.

[jug]

Do they come in salt and pepper also?

[Annie Where-but-here]

Jug - those are sold out. Blame the boomers.

[CJrun]

...and Grecian.

[Meditrina]

Did anyone else think the drummer was attempting to look like Ringo with the bad bowl cut?

Jug, please take off the Ten Gallon hat inside the blogbar.

[jug]

Sigh. I thought those might match my boots better

[jug]

You must have glimpsed Wyo, Med. I never wear the hat inside the bar.

[Wyo Cowboy]

Med, since when does the bar prohibit hats? Whatever would Chris LeDoux say?

[Jeff Meyerson]

Lairbo got it right - Herve Villechaize back from the grave!

[Meditrina]

Sorry, but I am old school. Hats off to for the blog gals.

[Annie Where-but-here]

jug - most hats are ok. Yours, however....

[jug]

There was a guy at my dad's wedding on Sunday that kept his hat on through the whole ceremony. Dadgum Okie
(wait till Bali sees that )

[Meditrina]

Annie, I wish I had Ph0toshop skills..... that hat and the sideburns. Quite a picture. Where's Alfred?

[Auntie M]

I couldn't make it through the song. I'm also shell shocked from the first 10 seconds of the Bar Mitzvah karaoke. I need a drink.

Take that hat off right now, young man, or you have lunch detention! Er, I mean, please take off your hats in the blogbar, gentlemen. It's disrespectful to the ladies.

[Just Ducky]

Wyo, Chris would probably say this.

[Annie Where-but-here]

Yes, Med. Hats off for the blog gals.

[jug]

I swear Annie, that looks like my nephew

[Annie Where-but-here]

ooooh, simul with Chris LeDoux....c'est le sweet!
*waits for Auntie M to check my link and see if she still insists on the hats coming off*

[Annie Where-but-here]

and then a simul with jug. 1 outta 2 ain't bad.

[CJrun]

OK, I had an early morning and another on the way. Youse guys play nice, now.

*drifts off with visions of heely red boots....*

[Meditrina]

Double Whammy! Chris followed up with some eye candy.

What? Did someone say they need a cold beverage? I know I need to cool off.

[Auntie M]

Me likey the Full Monty cowboy hats!
*wipes drool from mouth*
Take off the hats, boys. Take 'em off now!

[Annie Where-but-here]

throw some ice on Auntie M. I think she fainted.

[Annie Where-but-here]

Whew - she's alive...and kickin'!

[Kenn]

What do you call a guy who hangs around musicians?

the drummer. ba-dump-bump.

[Auntie M]

I'm fine, Annie. Just lost consciousness for a few seconds.

[Annie Where-but-here]

One of my fave sayings - A cowboy should have one good horse, one good dog, and one good woman.
All a cowgirl needs is a good horse and a good dog.

(Yes, I'm sure Siouxie has an addendum to that....)

[jug]

Dadgum Annie. Its your lucky night.

[Annie Where-but-here]

jug - yes it is. But that's another story. ;)

[jug]

Is it "Hats off to Annie Night"?

[Wyo Cowboy]

Annie, a cowboy needs good whiskey.

[Auntie M]

What type of whiskey does a cowboy drink, Wyo?

[Meditrina]

How about those Jayhawks? Did you see one of the back up players busted his knee doing slam dunks today? Major bummer.

[Meditrina]

Auntie M: Wyo prefers Lagavulin, neat.

[Auntie M]

I know little of bouncy ball. My brackets were wiped out pretty quickly for March Madness. It's roundball season for me. We're going to a Baby Nats game tomorrow night. (Minor League version of the Washington Nationals)

[jug]

I saw that med. What a crappy way to end his season. Poor guy

[Auntie M]

Lagavulin gets my Hubby's approval. Good choice, Wyo!

[Wyo Cowboy]

It's the best of the Isaly's. If you're runnin' short, I'll take Talisker or Oban too.

[Wyo Cowboy]

sorry, I meant islay

[Eleanor]

*waves hi to Auntie M*

I still have 3 of the Final Four in my Bracket thingy and I'm in 6th place, so I don't exactly understand that.

[Auntie M]

Okay. Here you go!

[Auntie M]

*waves back at El*
I don't understand the bracket thingy at all. Someone has to reexplain it to me every year.

[jug]

Evening Eleanor.

[Meditrina]

waves at El

How are the YankMe's doing? XO.

[Siouxie]

Good evening, peeps! Gotta love those hats off, Annie!

My only addendum would be...and a good BOB.

cg, my plaque is the wall type. ddd got me one that I KNOW Annie and El would appreciate. It says:

"One shoe can change your life"
Cinderella

I love it!

[Siouxie]

Whoever is tending bar...I'll have another glass of Chardonnay, please. I'm chilling tonight. Tomorrow, I'll have 40 or so teenagers here celebrating my daughter's 18th bday. I'm hitting the hard booze for that one.

[lil rascal]

That was a scene from the Gene Krupa story. Or Frankenstein meets the Werewolf. Lon Cheney, Jr. resserected. Nice oranges on Cher.

[Modgi]

One Woodridge cumming up (don't know the bold thingy)

[Wyo Cowboy]

Sioux. next month Diane and I will celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. No, we've not been married that long, we just heard that that was a good time, so we thought "what the hell?"

[Auntie M]

50th wedding anniversary....That's the diamond thong anniversary, I think.

[Wyo Cowboy]

so I've heard. I'm a fan of CZ. just sayin'.

[Siouxie]

Modgi, thanks! (btw, bold thingy is < b > word < / b > -without the spaces)(use i for italics and s for strikethrough)

Wyo, sounds like a great time to celebrate your 50th, while you're still UNDER 50 ;-P

[crossgirl]

one shoe can change your life but one pair of red high heely boots can.... *blush*

[Siouxie]

Hey Auntie!! all done with spring break?? My daughter's last day was today.

[Wyo Cowboy]

Hail, Hail, the gang's all here.

howdy, cg.

[Auntie M]

Siouxie--We had the week after Easter. Monday was my first day back, and the last week of the grading period. I've been fielding angry parent e-mails all week...of the "why didn't I know my kid was missing the work that was due the Thursday before Spring Break" variety. Today was a workday.

[crossgirl]

the boy's dad and i were going to celebrate our 50th a little over seven years into the marriage but that's only because he was a dog.

[Just Ducky]

*Sends Siouxie sympathy vibes for upcoming b-day bash*

*Waves @ everyone!*

So, this thread, and talking about cowboys (and, especially, Annie's link) made me think of this:

Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be drummers
Don’t let ‘em bang cymbals or kettles or snares
Let ‘em be doctors and lawyers—beware!
Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be drummers
‘Cause they’ll never pipe down and they’re always big clowns
Even through someone’s love song

Drummers ain’t easy to love and they’re harder to scare
They’d rather steal the spotlight than learn how to share
Spiffy white tuxes and old Beatles-style hair

And each night begins his display
If you don’t take a stand, Kim, and he don’t die young,
He’ll prob’ly drive folks away

Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be drummers
Don’t let ‘em bang cymbals or kettles or snares
Let ‘em be doctors and lawyers—beware!
Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be drummers
‘Cause they’ll never pipe down and they’re always big clowns
Even though they're doin' wrong

[jug]

Excellent Ducky!

[Auntie M]

*STANDING ovation for Ducky*
I bow before your creative songwriting abilities!

[Wyo Cowboy]

wouldn't that have only been their 49th? (not to be picky.)

[Auntie M]

cg's using that "New Math", Wyo.

[crossgirl]

whoa ducky! that was lovely!

wyo, thus the little over 7 years part...

nite kids. don't be playing that music too loud.

[Siouxie]

*snork* @ cg and the ex-dog!

and a great round of applause for the Duckness!! awesome as usual. (thanks for the sympathy vibes)

Auntie, I really can't imagine how some parents have ZERO clue when it comes to their kids' grades. I've always been on top of it and was seldom surprised. AND if they didn't get the grade I expected, I never blamed the teacher. I knew it had to be some work missing. My hat goes off to you educators! (Not like Annie's nekkid cowboys though).

[Auntie M]

Zero clue is right. I can't figure out how to keep 105 sets of parents informed of their kids' grades every second of every day. I send out messages and notes telling them to contact me if they want an update, then get yelled at when they don't check up on grades. Sheesh. Summer break is nine weeks away. I can't wait.

[Siouxie]

*slides over one of her special Kamikazes for Auntie*

You well deserve it! Parents can be such idjits too.

[Meditrina]

Ducky, I have personal experience with your fine lyrics, having been married to a "perCUSSionist." I'd take a cowboy anyday.

Condolences, Sioux. I am texting you extra wine and zanax. As well as the new Zappos catalog.

Auntie M... I know, I know. I am the parent that is consistently on top of it, emailing the teachers weekly.... probably overkill. But the assignments and grades are available online, so how do you have the gall to act surprised when grade cards go out? Sheesh is right.
