So much more than Random Thoughts

For the last few years, Brazilian bars have been promoting the celebration of St. Patrick's Day much as the rest of the northern hemisphere does (as opposed to simply going to church for a special mass, as had been done in the past.) So yesterday Diana and I went to a local establishment to try some green beer. While there, in my best Irish brogue, I was teaching her - through repetition - how to say, "Aye hoosbund, but yoor a foin man, ya arrre!" It was so funny to her saying this with her sweet Brazilian accent. The other folks at the bar were participating as well. We all had a "foin toime, as the saints were wit us!"

I was just reading an article on CNN that BestBuy is giving gift certificates to customers who bought HD-DVD players since Blue-Ray is taking over....I'm not really up on all this, so does this mean there won't be DVD's soon and only Blue-Ray discs to watch movies? And we all have to buy a player that will show Blue-Ray discs???

:stars:

no, HD-DVDs are not the same as the 'old' DVDs that we all know, you couldn't play them in a normal DVD player either...

normal DVDs will be around for quite some time, but will get slowly replaced by Blu-Ray discs...

just like VHS got replaced by DVD :)

While we are enjoying slip-sliding through the current recession , here are some fun lyrics to sing along to :

I Hate Banks

by Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper

I hate banks...

I just can't stand 'em.

Gimme a shovel & man I'll plant 'em.

Six feet under thats where they belong...

I hate banks is the name of this song.

I think I'll rob myself one or two...

Yeah I hate banks, yeah, how 'bout you?

Well...lend me a nickel & lend me a dime,

repossess my house any old time.

Financial institutions think they're so high faluting...

Just a bunch of fruits in three piece suits,

trying to steal all my loot.

Things are smelling pretty rank,

We must be near a stinking bank.

Smells worse than Rockefellars feet,

Wall Street can eat my meat.

Yeah throw the moneylenders out of the temple;

I hate banks its just that simple.

Royal Crown Palm Ade Tin,

is a the best thing to keep your money in.

Mason jar is okay too,

if you see a bank well you know what to do.

Now, lemme tell you people something...

The only banks I like, well, I like Ernie Banks alright.

And I like the banks of the Mississippi River...

Yeah, and I like banks of fender twin reverb...

Electric guitar amplifiers behind me, raging on the stages...

Well,when I walk in they treat me like a dog;

want to hit them in the head with a doo-doo log.

Republicans, one and all...

Their talleywhackers are mighty small.

Stealing from the poor gonna give to the rich...

Wanna make the bank president twitch in a ditch.

Yeah, see that teller with the blue hair,

giving me the evil-eye stare.

Won't cash my check don't like my ID...

got the security guard after me.

If I was E. F. Sloane,

I'd say the Dow Jones can suck my bone.

Yeah.

Everybody say the three magic words!

I want you to help me say the words!

I want you to repeat after me!

I HATE BANKS!

Can't stand 'em!

I HATE BANKS!

Don't Like 'em!

I HATE BANKS!

Bunch of Foo-Foo's!

I HATE BANKS!

Contrary like a big zit!

I hate banks...

I just can't stand 'em.

Gimme a shovel & man I'll plant 'em.

Six feet under thats where they belong...

I hate banks is the name of this song.

I think I'll rob myself one or two...

Yeah I hate banks, yeah, how 'bout you?

Now lemme tell you something...

I'm not real fond of the PHONE COMPANY either!

You know?

Yeah, and I don't like the cable TV company.

You know why I don't like the cable TV company?

Cause they just be sucking that stuff right out the sky!

THEY don't have to pay nuttin for it!

I just get me one of them bootleg cable boxes,

and get me one of them climb the pole and stick the thing in...

I ain't gonna pay for it!

NOOOOO!!!!"
