So when does the chit-chat start? Right now!

YouTube just asked me if I was procrastinating

WTH?

is it too much to ask that the internet not judge me?

(this wasn't enough for a full rant - so I came here instead)

Procrastinating?....procrastinating?....oh, that IS soooo judgmental!... procrastinating is for things like housework, not the internet! Ignore the computer judgment. Do what you darn well please in your own time...unless, that is, there really is a "time out", then we must not procrastinate. Been there, done that, and had to start all over...sucks. Big timer.

And our mechanic really is NOT procrastinating on the truck. That truck is tricky. One man took two years to fix his truck himself. We will do better...I hope. Jeeves, get me another Indian Wells Brewery soda, please.

Spira, I am watching South Pacific on tv right now. I love those musicals. I've been singing their tunes since I was around 5 years old, when I saw my first stage production of West Side Story.

Whaaa, can you, being the mayor of Tamalewood, put on a musical here this year? Love interest, singing, orchestra.

I hope The Motorcycle Boy survived well the storms in his area.

Well, the intermission is over, so I best be getting back to the South Pacific.

well, I kinda do - so, I'm not even saying the internet doesn't have a point

just, no stone throwing - internet

Spira, I am watching South Pacific on tv right now. I love those musicals.

oh desert - that's a good one too LOL!



I feel a singalong coming on... "loudly - I'll sing about flowers and spring..."

brilliant :-)

I had a pretty hard core fantasy about moving to Tahiti when I was 16

I blame Gauguin

:-)

edit to add: this is an idea that may have to become a new thread...you in?

Let our Tahitian fantasy begin, Spira! Here's a colorful pareu for you. The boys can wear a lavalava. And here's a tiny parasol for your glass of sherry. Oh, this is fun! The music you provided is soooo good.

And what would be the title of the new thread?

Sigh...work is crazy at the moment, so it's good to have this fantasy. Oh, if anyone in the Florida Keys remembers about 14 years ago four sisters dancing in their pareus, where one sister's pareu started to become undone, and one pareu-wearing sister passed out on the quay, well, I gotta thank all you fun loving Conchs for the great vacation.

:-) I like fun

And what would be the title of the new thread?

I'm thinking I wasn't clear - had in mind some kind of musical theater/showstopping favorites/singalong/extravaganza thread...

most ridiculous lyrics sung while wearing a feather boa sorta thing (or most beautiful)

most ridiculous lyrics sung while neked as a jaybird (or most beautiful)

Sharks, Jets - Cockney girls learning to lose their accents and wear uncomfortable clothing - cats ascending in spaceships - that sort of thing

but South Pacific Fantasy Thread sounds good too

:-)

Gauguin....Pareu's.........topless...........umbrella drinks

Now that a winning combination if I've ever heard one. I'll bring the sun screen!!

hmmmmm...."musical theater/showstopping favorites/singalong/extravaganza thread... "
Eureka! That just could be the thread title! Oui?

Our Tahitian fantasies should only be for Loung Noir. I don't think we should all show up at other threads wearing our pareus, having in hand sherry glasses wearing tiny paper parasols, and whaaa going topless. We certainly would never be taken seriously. Oui?

whaaa, rub that sun screen on me. S'il te plaît. All over. Oui. I'm going to stretch out on the buffet table under the heat lamps. I swapped out their bulbs with tanning lights.

Ahhhh, Spira...lyrics sung sans vêtement ...you call forth my memory of seeing Hair in Los Angles in the 70's.....joie de vivre...

Why am I suddenly interjecting French words into my speech??

reply to post by whaaa


sweet!

pool party at Lounge Noir

do we even have a pool? I know there's that pit out back...

no tiki torches - but we could set the broom on fire

(also - if you guys feel the need to bury a pig - could you keep that part a secret - and downwind?)

whaaa - how versatile are you anyhow?

can you play the ukulele?

:-)

Oui! :-)

and done - shouldn't be hard to find - see you there desert

no, no - that's true. Or at least - not as seriously as we're taken in here

Why am I suddenly interjecting French words into my speech??

I dunno desert - it's either Tahiti - or the sherry

:-)

I have consulted our Lounge Noir Oracle, the award winning broadsheet whose masthead boasts, "News and Dirt from Behind, Above, and In Front of the Bar", and I find the most propitious of times this weekend for us.

There will be the grandest of conjunctions and alignments to rival the Age of Aquarius, the Harmonic Convergence, or the Mayan calendar revelations. Yes, the next few days will offer a flow of holidays and events, the likes of which only the dimly watted would pass up.

The Grand LN Buffet's menu includes heart shaped egg foo young, bottomless bowls of gumbo. and our chef's special creation for dessert, the I-can't-tell-a-lie-it's-the-best-cherry-pie.

A Lincoln impersonator will be available for private readings of the Gettysburg Address.

And our huge screen tv will display the Winter Olympics round the clock.

Enjoy!

Oh, and, whaaa, that slinky red dress would be perfect attire for all the festivities.

That's what I was thinkin! I'll trim my beard and bring the ukulele.

Good, whaaa! We'll have some fine live music around here. Hey, mind if I fiddle with you?

I want to apologize to everyone here who was witness to my embarrassing behavior last year at Mardi Gras time. Spilling my drinks all over the place as I lifted my shirt whoring after cheap trinkets!! This tear I will go topless to avoid this situation.

A song about Tahiti for my friends...


My boat's capsized it's gonna sink to the bottom
I can see the lights on the shore getting farther away
I dont know if I'll make home tonight
But I know I can swim under the Tahitian moon

I came out here tonight to look for my friend
I dont know if I'll ever get to see him again
I dont know if I'll make it home tonight
But I know I can swim under the Tahitian moon
One last time under the Tahitian moon

The sea is a very easy place to disappear
To drift away, to fall asleep, or make your peace

I came out here tonight to look for my friend
I dont know if I'll ever get to see him again
I dont know if I'll make it home tonight
But I know I can swim under the Tahitian moon
I can swim under the Tahitian moon
I can swim under the Tahitian moon
I can swim under the Tahitian moon
I can swim...

I think you should try something new and go bottomless. Why do what everyone else does? I'm going to go bottom less with my willly looking silly dangling in the wind!

No. No way, boys, are you going bottomless for Mardi Gras! That would give you boys an unfair advantage in grabbing the tossed bangles. And you all just might end up gettin' your dangle tangled in a bangle. So I'm sayin' this as a public service announcement...No dangle banglin' around here!

Oh, hi, AD!! I see you are dressed for all the festivities here! Afterall, we are a classy joint. ....Care for an egg roll or heart shaped beignet?

more later...

Sorry, people, outta my way, but I gotta catch Canada and Great Britain mens curling. Jeeves, Yukon Jack coffee, please...make it a double...it's gonna be a long night...

I loved The Motorcycle Boy's haunting Tahitian moon song. I wonder if there's any curling song.

I wanna hear O Canada! Go, Canada!

Not sure I know any curling songs...but there are plenty of hurling songs. But I digest, I'll have to go hunting. Cheery bye then for now....

Nudge nudge
Wink wink
Say no more
A nod is as good as a wink to a blind man...


Somewhere in the darkness
There’s a man they call The Skipper fast asleep
And dreaming of gold
He wakes before the sun comes
Even though he’d rather stay in bed
He curses the cold in Minnesota
Why’s it always so damn cold
But he’s got a job to do
He does it for me and you
And the red and the white and the blue
Because he knows he’s got to curl

His team is there and ready
Though the coffee’s warm, their breath hangs in the air
They hit the ice
No one’s there to see it
There’s no press or paparazzi and that’s OK
But it’d be nice if someone noticed
That they’ve all been working hard
Pushing these rocks around
Trying to gain some ground
Got the keep the Canadians down
And all they got to do is curl

Their lives outside are waiting
But they give until they’ve given all they have
They’re dead on their feet
The Skipper isn’t certain
But he thinks that maybe this could be the year
When they defeat the world forever
And they bring that medal home
But now it seems years away
He’s taking it day by day
When it comes he’ll be ready to play
That’s why he knows he’s got to curl

You have to love the internet. A curling song for Desert. Curling is truly an unappreciated sport. All the nuances...
