TRAVEL UPDATE
I'm on the road for the next couple of days, so blogging from me will be sporadic. In the spirit of good sportsmanship, I want to extend my congratulations to the New York Yankers.

Oh, and have fun, Dave.
Posted by: dragonfly151 | October 13, 2004 at 08:32 AM
I prefer the New York Jock Strap Sniffers, but your phrase works too.
Posted by: Federal Duck | October 13, 2004 at 08:34 AM
'Sporadic blogging' sounds like something from a drug commercial...."Possible side effects may include fever, upset stomach, numbness of the hands or feet, and sporadic blogging."
Posted by: MeganBNL | October 13, 2004 at 08:35 AM
Here's to Spores in the Attic!
When you get back Dave, you should probably have that checked out.
Hurricanes will do that you know.

And by the way, when you're on the road, wear reflective clothing to avoid an unfortunate *splat*-related injury. Unless you will be on the road in Florida, in which case the reflective clothing will just give the drivers an easier target.

Enjoy your travels, Dave. Bring me a nice souvenir!
Posted by: Rachel | October 13, 2004 at 08:38 AM
And please extend this, er, our best off-season greetings to the Darlins.

"Hi Kids"
That's what Joe said to me and a friend when he was a player for the Cardinals back in the 70's. How was Joe to know that someday I would be on DB Blog and trying to convince DB John Kerry has no chance of fixing Iraq, fixing the economy, fixing health care, balancing the budget and make anyone with a spinal injury walk again in four years?

I can picture Dave on the road, a la Forrest Gump, back and forth, back and forth across the country, trying to undo sports pages headlines. "It happens"
Posted by: waxwing | October 13, 2004 at 09:02 AM
Cthulhu! Cthulhu! Cthulhu!
Posted by: Mahatma Kane Jeeves | October 13, 2004 at 09:04 AM
Dave, say "HI" to the bloglits representing us at the AARP convention in Las Vegas. (We want pictures -- forget that "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" crap)
Posted by: slyeyes | October 13, 2004 at 09:06 AM
nice cat. but my vote goes with dave.
Posted by: queensbee | October 13, 2004 at 09:09 AM
MKJ - what the hell is Cthulhu, and how do you pronounce it? I'd hate to elect a president who's name I can't pronounce.
Local TV Reporter: Excuse me sir, but would you be willing to tell us who you just voted for?
Me: Sure. I vote for Ctllpptlulu.
Local TV Reporter: You just spit all over me.
Me: Get used to it.
Posted by: SchadeBoy | October 13, 2004 at 09:13 AM
Looks like the cat is trying to eat the candidate. Maybe we should send cats after the candidates, not Dave. Maybe instead of voting, we can just see which one the cat doesn't eat.

Ooh, it could be the new version of Survivor!

Shadey: Cthulhu, I would say "Ka-tchoo-lu," but would rather not

Reminds me of the Paul Simon song "...ku ku ka choo, down by the school yard."
And, you are all welcome for the earwig.

Isn't that where Davis going? A presidential debate with Ctllpptlulu... er... Cthulululu...um... Ku ku ka chu... er, I mean Cthulhu? (Spelling is arbitrary anyway, right?)
Posted by: hmmm | October 13, 2004 at 09:36 AM
umm....Sorry. Make that "Dave is" insteads of "Davis" Maybe I could get a job as spell checker with Ms. Alquilar.
Posted by: hmmm | October 13, 2004 at 09:40 AM
That was "me and Julio down by the schoolyard" - from those of us old enough to remember.
Posted by: artist formerly known as mudstuffin | October 13, 2004 at 09:40 AM
Koo koo ka-choo (or something like that) is from "I am the Walrus" by the Beatles.
Posted by: artist formerly known as mudstuffin | October 13, 2004 at 09:42 AM
And ku-ku-ka-chu to you.
Posted by: Mrs. Robinson | October 13, 2004 at 09:43 AM
I hate it when I mix my lyrics.
*goes back to bong*
Posted by: slyeyes | October 13, 2004 at 09:44 AM
Wait a minute...
wasn't there a line "ku ku ka chu, me and julio down by the schoolyard?"
Posted by: slyeyes | October 13, 2004 at 09:45 AM
Sly - you switched from liquor?
Posted by: Blue Meanie | October 13, 2004 at 09:47 AM
You know you're a geezer when...
Posted by: artist formerly known as mudstuffin | October 13, 2004 at 09:47 AM
ahh feck it.
*gets on geezer bus with bong and booze.*

The mama pajama rolled out of bed, and she ran to the police station
When the papa found out, he began to shout, and he started the investigation
It's against the law, it was against the law
What the mama saw, it was against the law.
The mama looked down and spit on the ground ev'ry time my name gets mentioned
The papa say "Oy, if I get that boy
I'm gonna stick him in the house of detention."
I'm on my way, I don't know where I'm goin',
I'm on my way, I'm takin' my time, but I don't know where.
Goodbye to Rosie, the Queen of Corona
See you, me and Julio down by the schoolyard
See you, me and Julio down by the schoolyard
In a couple of days they come and take me away
But the press let the story leak
And when the radical priest come to get me released
We's all on the cover of Newsweek
Well, I'm on my way, I don't know where I'm goin'
I'm on my way, I'm takin' my time, but I don't know where
Goodbye to Rosie, the Queen of Corona
See you, me and Julio down by the schoolyard
See you, me and Julio down by the schoolyard
See you, me and Julio down by the schoolyard
Posted by: artist formerly known as mudstuffin | October 13, 2004 at 09:49 AM
Here, lemme hit that.
Posted by: artist formerly known as mudstuffin | October 13, 2004 at 09:50 AM
...and don't EVEN get me started on sue-sue-suleo.
By the way, are we off topic yet?
Posted by: slyeyes | October 13, 2004 at 09:50 AM
After a few more hits, I might be ready to tackle "Mmmrrhhaawww" from Steve Miller's Take The Money and Run.
Topic? We don't need no estinkin' topic!
Posted by: Blue Meanie | October 13, 2004 at 09:58 AM
sly
Actually, you've mixed up three songs. Make ya feel better?
You're thinking, of course, of "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard," as tafkams documented so well,
AND
"Mrs. Robinson," which borrows from the Beatles for the line: "koo koo ka chooo Mrs. Robinson, Jesus loves you more than you will know, whoa whoa whoa"
Just to solidify Mrs. Robinson's reference above.
Welcome to Earwig Central.

Can someone Phil(myTom)Collins?
Mine's empty. ;-9
Posted by: Mr.Fisher | October 13, 2004 at 10:00 AM
Later, Dave!
Posted by: Mahatma Kane Jeeves | October 13, 2004 at 10:03 AM
My favorite example of a rock star mispronouncing words (apparently because of drugs / alcohol) is ZZ Top's "Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers" where the words "little girl" sound like "Earl".
Posted by: artist formerly known as mudstuffin | October 13, 2004 at 10:05 AM
This is a former disc jockey's brain.
This is a former disc jockey's brain after kids, divorce, and...well...other stuff.
*sits in corner by herself singing "itsy bitsy spider jumped over the candle quick with three blind mice.*
Oh, look, judi's going blog crazy.
Posted by: slyeyes | October 13, 2004 at 10:14 AM
Have fun dave. Don't forget the blue shirts.
Be sure you make time for the bloglits crashing the AARP speech.
oh, and as a personal favor to us, could you call them up on stage during the speech and make them demonstrate what they've learned in the MOAT?
That'd be swell.
Posted by: Deon | October 13, 2004 at 10:30 AM
The Beatles lyric is:
Goo Goo GaJoob.
Posted by: Mother's Mattress Factory | October 13, 2004 at 10:38 AM
AS I suspected.
Posted by: artist formerly known as mudstuffin | October 13, 2004 at 10:43 AM
I WANTED the lyric to be "ku ku ka chu, me and Julio down by the school yard", but Michael Jackson owned the copyright to it.
Posted by: artist currently known as Paul Simon | October 13, 2004 at 10:50 AM
They were looking for Mrs. Robinson. Wait. I might be confusing that with another song. I do that, you know.
Posted by: slyeyes | October 13, 2004 at 11:22 AM
I think Julio & He were having parfaits.
Posted by: PETER | October 13, 2004 at 11:24 AM
Mike - after 4 yrs of Bush, no-one in the next 4 years stands a snowball's chance of "fixing Iraq, fixing the economy, fixing health care, balancing the budget..."
I'd guess with a good plan, consistent effort, and divine intervention it'd take 10...
Posted by: jamester | October 13, 2004 at 12:03 PM
Thanks Dave!
And when you come back, you can congratulate them on clinching the division!!
Posted by: Lmd33 | October 13, 2004 at 12:20 PM
Mrs.Robinson and the Parfaits cbagnfarb, no?
And you really shouldn't goo, goo gah-anything on your mothers mattress. That's just wrong.
Posted by: Mr.Fisher | October 13, 2004 at 12:41 PM
um, hi dave. yeah, i'm litte concerned with this "traveling" and wondering if it isn't code for your alcohol problem. just email me if you want to talk.
