OOOO! 303 posts! Wasn't I just talking about how I got 200? Wow, time flies by fast.

My mind is far away, off in Pepperland…

I think those who don’t care/accept the fact that derailment occurs are the ones who stay the longest.

OK, I would just like to say something. Now that The Beatles are on iTunes, when I get on there and look at the popularity scale of each track and see the ones that have like one or zero bars, I’m wondering how the general population (*Salutes General Population*) lives without knowing how amazing those tracks are!!! I mean, holy crap. Some of them are my all-time favorites!

Also, idk about most of you, but I don’t download their stuff — I gotta have hard copies of my boys. Now that I have all the CDs, my new goal is to buy them all on vinyl! Although, I will have to buy a record player first. Problem #1. Money = problem #2.

Favorite Starbucks drink: Chai, baby, Chai.

Blue Nicey.. I'm actually doing the same! I already have all their records (minus Anthology albums) because I recently received this as a gift :)) But I still want the get all the actual CDs.. I don't think I can get them on vinyl here anyways, so I'll be content with the CDs 🙂

To overcome the money problem, I'm setting aside a small amount of money to buy them one by one, maybe you can get one every month or so!?

Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on!

I agree, I prefer hard copies over digital. Vinyl is the next step for me. At the moment I have Abbey Road , Please Please Me and a German copy of Help ! I also have two of Paul's albums.

 

Oh, also, does anyone have a picture of John's pit bed in Help ? I can't find one anywhere… :-\

a-hard-days-night-ringo-8Nigel, I've been meaning to tell you how much I love your new avatar.

By now, some of you have realized that I sometimes shorten your names or use the initials of your screen names when I respond to you (M3, Von, Gnik, etc…). As I mentioned on another thread, this is not a sign of my laziness, but rather me using terms of endearment. Very often I’ll call a friend, family member or co-worker something like Sport, Chief, Dude, Kiddo, etc… This once led to a slightly awkward situation.

Many years ago, I was taking night classes after work. One of my classmates and I were talking to each other in our seats when another classmate walked by and said hello to us. Without even looking up to see who it was, I just blurted out, “what’s up Chief?”  All of a sudden, the whole room fell silent. Much to my horror, I realized I had said that to the only Native American in our class.

As I started the process of surgically removing my hoof from my mouth, he just started laughing and told me it was all good. He had heard me do this countless times with others and thought nothing of it.

Thankfully, he has a sense of humor!

To the fountain of perpetual mirth, let it roll for all its worth. And all the children boogie.

Hilarious story, Zig!

Lemme guess: Ever since that day, you've had your reservations against using such a term.

The following people thank Von Bontee for this post:

Starr Shine?

Paul: Yeah well… first of all, we’re bringing out a ‘Stamp Out Detroit’ campaign.

At least you admitted it yourself, that is was a bad joke, just not that bad. 🙂

I enjoy bad puns, but still, that was worthy of a head shake. And I'd bet that's what Vonbontee was going for.

Vonbontee wondered if Zig had any reservations calling people “Chief” in an off-the-cuff way ever since he called a Native American person that without thinking.

 

And then I was editorializing how bad (but in a good way) the pun was.

Anybody a Fan Of Buddy Holly? I'm suprised he is so little mentioned. (10 bonus points for the person who figures out why I'm thinking of this now)
