    Roller Derby Queen

    Gonna tell you a story that you won't believe

    But I fell in love last Friday evenin'

    With a girl I saw on a bar room TV screen

    Well I was just gettin' ready to get my hat

    When she caught my eye and I put it back

    And I ordered myself a couple o' more shots and beers

    Chorus:

    The night (you know) that I fell in love with a Roller Derby Queen

    (Round 'n' round, oh round 'n' round)

    The meanest hunk o' woman

    That anybody ever seen

    Down in the arena

    She is a five foot six and two fifteen

    A bleached-blonde mama with a streak of mean

    She knew how to knuckle

    And she knew how to scuffle and fight

    And the roller derby program said

    That she were built like a 'fridgerator with a head

    The fans called her "Tuffy"

    But all her buddies called her "Spike"

    Chorus

    Round 'n' round, go round 'n' round (3 x's)

    Well I could not help it but to fall in love

    With this heavy-duty woman I been speakin' of

    Things looked kind of bad

    Until the day she skated into my life

    Well she might be nasty she might be fat

    But I never met a person who would tell her that

    She's my big blonde bomber

    My heavy handed Hackensack mama

    Chorus

    Round 'n' round, go round 'n' round (3 x's)

    Tupelo honey includes table and baking grades of honey made from the blossoms of the tupelo gum tree, nyssa aquatica. The tupelo gum tree grows in flooded forest areas in states such as Florida, Louisiana, Georgia and Virginia as well as along the Mississippi River, but tupelo honey is mainly only produced commercially in areas along the Choctawhatchee, Apalachicola and Ochlockonee rivers. Tupelo honey made from the white tupelo gum tree, nyssa ogeche, is top quality table honey and is valued for its uniquely delicious flavor and its inability to granulate.

    White tupelo honey is sometimes called fine tupelo honey and is the most expensive honey because it is the most expensive to produce. Care must be taken by the beekeepers to clean the combs at the right time so that when the white tupelo gum tree blossoms, only the honey from these blossoms is collected. White tupelo honey is a prized, sweet and delicious light amber table honey with a greenish hue to it and it won't granulate or crystallize.

    Black tupelo honey is made from the blossoms of the black tupelo gum tree, nyssa sylvatica, and it produces a darker honey that will granulate. Black tupelo is not prized for table honey and is often used as a bakery grade honey. Both white and black types of tupelo honey are produced by placing bees on platforms on the tupelo gum trees in the spring months. As the bees travel through the swamps they produce the honey from the gum trees' nectar.

    If top quality white tupelo honey is mixed with any other type of honey such as black tupelo, wildflower or gallberry, it will granulate. Only fine white tupelo honey won't granulate or crystallize. The delightful taste of pure white tupelo honey can be savored on hot buttered toast or cold vanilla ice cream as well as on or in many other foods.

  3. All this talk of gumbo and beignets, I'm sorry, I just had to...

    I Will Play For Gumbo

    Jimmy Buffett

    I don't smoke I don't shoot smack

    But I got a spicy monkey riding on my back

    Don't eat beignets too much sugar and dough

    But I will play for gumbo

    Hey I will play for gumbo

    It started in my grandma's in her kitchen by the sea

    She warned me when where she told me "son the first one's free"

    It hit me like a rock or some Tae-Kwon-Do

    'Cause, I will play for gumbo

    Oh Yeah, I will play for gumbo

    A piece of french bread with which to wipe my bowl

    Good for the body, good for the soul

    It's a little like religion and a lot like sex

    You should never know when you're gonna get it next

    At midnight in the Quarter or noon in Thibodaux

    I will play for gumbo

    Yes, I will play for gumbo

    I'm not talking quesadillas or a dozen Krispy Kremes

    Or a pile of caviar that's a rich man's dream

    No banana split or filet of pompano

    No, I will play for gumbo

    Yeah, I will play for gumbo

    A piece of french bread with which to wipe my bowl

    Good for the body, good for the soul

    It's a little like religion and a lot like sex

    You should never know when you're gonna get it next

    It could be it's that sausage or those pretty pink shrimp

    Or that popcorn rice that makes me blow up like a blimp

    Maybe it's that voodoo from Marie Laveau

    But I will play for gumbo

    Hey I will play for gumbo

    Now the Sauce Boss makes his cookin' on the stage

    Singing and a-picking for his nightly wage

    Sweating and a frettin' from his head to his toe

    Playin' and swayin' with the gumbo

    Prayin' and buffetin' with the gumbo

    A piece of french bread with which to wipe my bowl

    Good for the body, good for the soul

    It's a little like religion and a lot like sex

    You should never know when you're gonna get it next

    At midnight in the Quarter or noon in Thibodaux

    I will play for gumbo

    Hey I will play for gumbo

    I will play for gumbo

    I will play for gumbo

    I Will Play For Gumbo

  4. This is to correct my earlier mis-post, apologies to all for putting the following in the "Fogies" thread. This stuff is timeless....

    My favorite piece of music ever, Santo and Johnny, "Sleepwalk"

    Acker Bilk - "Stranger On The Shore"

    This melody is just simply gorgeous...

    Percy Faith - "Theme From A Summer Place"

    I called a local oldies station and whistled this one to the DJ, and he cheerfully gave me the title that had been eluding me for years,

    Bent Fabric, "Alley Cat"

    This was Gramma's favorite, and she always wanted me to dance with her at weddings to it. I miss her, a lot..Hit it Al,

    Al Martino - "Spanish Eyes"

    This guy's voice makes me think of my Mom and Dad's console stereo, real oak, red cloth speaker grills, big as a chest freezer..

    Jerry Wallace - "Primrose Lane"

    The prettiest father/daughter duo, Frank and Nancy Sinatra, "Something Stupid"

    I'm not a huge Sinatra fan, but I do love this song. Frank Sinatra, "Summer Wind"

    Sheena Is A Punk Rocker.

    The funniest excerpt from the Ramones "Anthology" disc is from their road manager. He was driving them in a van from gig to gig. They had stopped for gas, and a woman approached him and commended him for taking 'those retarded men out for the day.'

    Gabba Gabba Hey!
