  1. This calls for a lyrical interlude :grin:

    Baby's getting anxious, the hours getting late

    The night is almost over, she can't wait

    Oh, things are complicating, my love is in her hands

    And there's no more waiting, she understands

    The plaster's gettin' harder and my love is perfection

    A token of my love for her collection, her collection

    Plaster caster, grab a hold of me faster

    And if you wanna see my love, just ask her

    And my love is the plaster

    And yeah, shes the collector

    She wants me all the time to inject her

    The plaster's gettin' harder and my love is perfection

    A token of my love for her collection

    Plaster caster, plaster caster

    Grab a hold of me faster, plaster, faster

    And if you wanna see my love, just ask her, ask her

    Go on, ask her

    The plaster's gettin' harder and my love is perfection

    A token of my love for her collection, her collection

    Plaster caster, plaster caster

    Grab a hold of me faster, plaster, faster

    If you wanna see my love, just ask her, ask her

    Plaster caster, plaster caster

    She wants my love to last her, last her, last her

    And she calls me by the name of master, master

    Plaster caster, plaster caster

    Grab a hold of me faster, plaster, faster

    If you wanna see my love, just ask her, ask her

    Plaster caster, plaster caster

    Grab a hold of me faster, plaster, faster

    And if you wanna see my love, just ask her, ask her

    Plaster caster, plaster caster

  2. The One I Loved Back Then ~ George Jones

    I stopped off at the Quicksack for some beer and cigarettes

    The old man took my money as he stared at my Corvette

    He said, I had one just like her son, a 1963

    'Til the man down at the bank took her from me

    Oh, she was hotter than a two dollar pistol

    She was the fastest thing around

    Long and lean every young man's dream

    She turned every head in town

    She was built and fun to handle Son

    I'm glad that you dropped in

    She reminds me of the one I loved back then

    Then I handed him my keys and said, here take her for a spin

    The old man scratched his head, then he looked at me and grinned

    He said son you just don't understand it ain't the car I want

    It's the brunette in your 'vette that turns me on

    I had one that was hotter than a two dollar pistol

    She was the fastest thing around

    Long and lean every young man's dream

    She turned every head in town

    She was built and fun to handle Son

    I'm glad that you dropped in

    She reminds me of the one I loved back then

    Lord she was hotter than a two dollar pistol

    She was the fastest thing around

    Long and lean every young man's dream

    She turned every head in town

    She was built and fun to handle Son

    I'm glad that you dropped in

    She reminds me of the one I loved back then

    She reminds me of the one I loved back then

  3. Our normal last frost of the season is around the first of April. Here we are in the last few days of the month, and there is a frost - nay, a freeze warning tonight.

    So, not very hot right now. I suspect it will be 80 before the end of the week, though ;)

  4. Most of our Japanese are hibachi-type places, but they offer sushi as well. There are a couple that are more sushi than hibachi. But I kinda tend to lump them together.

    And I really need to get my sis or husband to take me to one of them soon, because they refuse to eat Japanese food most of the time. Generally will only go with me if I'm pregnant or it's a holiday ;)

    Come to think of it, they're the same way with Thai and Indian...hmmm...I need friends with more eclectic taste in food. Y'all wanna fly in for a girl's night out next week? :grin:

  5. I wish we had an Indian restaurant. we have a sushi place I've still not tried.

    Oh man, we have sushi out the yin-yang here. All really good. A few Thai places, too. For a relatively small city, the dining choices are excellent. :beatnik:

    Dude, I wonder if I could manage Thai, Indian and Japanese all in one week? Hmmm....my birthday is coming up ;)

  6. Okay, so I've made a trip to the Brown Derby International Wine Center. Grabbed a bottle of Newcastle, but then saw that this was on sale for $2.50.

    Just then the beer guy walked past and said if I liked brown ale, I should try this stuff. So I took it as a sign and grabbed one to try. It's really yummy. So good that I'm not even drinking it cold...and it's better a bit warm anyway (never thought I'd be saying that). And not something I'd drink all the time, but will be nice in the winter. I might head back and buy a couple pints to put back for cooler weather ;)

    Got a couple other treats, so will update with my thoughts later. And will probably pick up something else when I go back, so still open for suggestions.

    Am thinking about a beer I'd never have considered in the past: chocolate stout. Am thinking Beer + Chocolate = Love :grin:

    Can you tell I'm at the bottom of the bottle? :jester:

  7. Patchwork Quilt

    Written by Warren Haynes in memory of Jerry Garcia, and played with Phil & Friends and The Dead.

    I never knew you

    But then who really did?

    If you were at all like me

    You managed to keep yourself hid

    A patchwork quilt of a life

    Memories embroidered

    On your soul

    So please forgive me

    For putting you in my song

    But the spirit she moves me

    In fact she pushes me along

    It's a patchwork quilt of a life

    Can't stop the river

    Just let it roll

    We were at Jones Beach

    When we got the word

    Saddest sound that I ever heard

    The bluest note that nobody could play

    Ravens sang with us that night on the stage

    Tears of sadness, tears of rage

    But nobody spoke, we all felt old

    And in the way

    So walk beside me

    Or above me, I don't know

    These days it sure seems

    I'm lost where ever I go

    God, how could you, I heard someone say

    And what do we do with our lives now anyway?

    Now that our North Star can no longer be found

    But there's a banjo moon in a tie-dyed sky

    Hippies dance and babies cry

    Church bells ring as a silver-haired angel looks down

    And the blood of his music runs through the veins of our guitars

    Bright lights, Dark Star

    I never knew you

    But then who really did

    If you were at all like me

    You managed to keep yourself hid

  8. I'm bumping for suggestions, since the tenth anniversary of my 21st is approaching and I'd like to celebrate with a 6-pack (or two) of something yummy. Since posting on this thread, I've tried Rising Moon (spring brew from the Blue Moon folks) and Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. The Rising Moon is really limey and yummy, Sierra Nevada is veeeery hoppy - almost too much, but good when I'm in the mood for it.

    I've had people suggest Harp lager, Newcastle, or some sort of hefeweizen (open to suggestions on brand). A friend suggested a nice Black & Tan with dinner...but I'm not a Guinness fan at all :blush: Mostly, I like lagers and ales. I'm thinking something a little sweet wouldn't be a bad thing.

  9. How cool is that? :cool:

    From willienelson.com:

    April 21st, 2008

    What do you get when you mix Country and Rap? CRAP!

    Willie Nelson, the hardest working man in country music, and Snoop Dogg, the hardest man period, have been working hard for several days now, writing, harmonizing, filming a video, recording and collaborating creatively in just about every which way.

    As with the start of every new tour, tonight’s atmosphere resembled “Back to School†day. After a month off the road, everyone was excited and ready to go on this four-week European tour, which will take them to eight countries. Tonight’s show in Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, was packed. Willie Nelson & Family were in fine form. The crowd was enthusiastic and demanded several encores. And Willie’s two walk-ons also got roaring applause: Snoop Dogg did “Superman†with Willie, and Eva Hassmann, a popular German actress who has written, directed and starred in a film with and about Willie (“Willie & Me, due out in a couple of years), sang a duet with him on a new song, “It is what it is, says love.†Willie and Eva wrote the lyrics together, borrowing freely from the famous German poet Erich Fried.

    The action BEHIND the stage was not bad either. Midway through the show, Snoop Dogg arrived with his entourage, wearing a brown fringed suede jacket and a red bandana around his neck. He looked totally cool, and even as he waited to go on, he sang along with Willie backstage. He completely knew the lyrics to “You are always on my mind†and “Mama’s don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys.†Respect!

    And it's already on YouTube:

    They also played dominoes back at the hotel and recorded a video in their spare time :)
