Hi, filter-lighter here, please provide the correct lyric and if that's not a clear identifier, the name of the song when citing mistaken lyrics. Even knowing the diaphragm thing is CCR I just can't think of the song.

When I was a kid I thought "lay down sally" was "pass the salad." It doesn't even sound like that, but whatever, like I said, I was a kid. I do still giggle internally when somebody asks me to pass the salad.

I cannot imagine Strom "Horndog" Thurmond being overly upset at a SC opinion that says that consensual sexual behavior is no business of the state's.

Yeah he liked the ladies. But then again, he wasn't exactly warm and fuzzy towards gay folk.

Speaking of CCR lyrics... Somebody put out a couple of books on this topic a while back, with one called "There's a Bathroom on the Right". There a also a number of websites on this topic...

Edited to note author is Gavin Edwards... Amazon (see link at left) has his books: "Scuze Me While I Kiss This Guy"; "He's Got the Whole World in His Pants" and the Christmas book "Deck the Halls with Buddy Holly"...

friend of mine had a dog who behaved poorly. his wife (now ex) insisted on getting a dog psychchiatrist who got on the floor and nuzzled the dog and pronounced the dog was troubled because my friend's family was fucked up. $250 please! thing is I told him his family was fucked uo when I first heard his wife was calling in the doggie dr. and that advice was free.

He was probably very happy with the ruling that sodomy is legal... Then again, at his advanced age, he probably thought "hard sodomy" was lunchmeat...

Edited to add: Now that I think of it, in a matter of speaking it is... NTTAWWT.

CCR, usually being drunk and stoned and medicated in whatever ways they could imagine, were the perfect fodder for the "what the hell did he say?" style of song delivery.

Back to Classic Rawk
 

Lou Reed plays in my neck of the patch this weekend. Sadly, due to prior commitments, I can't go. But, because a) I think rather highly of myself; and b) I care about you all, I'm re-posting my old Lou Reed/GA tributes from that other board.

Lester came from the City by the Bay
Had to work for insurance client pay
Bagged a Moldovan along the way
Though some suspect that she was a he

He says hey, take a walk on the greedy side
Hey, Lessin, take a walk on the greedy side

Bumpkin-at-law came from somewhere southern
Talkin’ ‘bout NASCAR, he was all his puppets’ darlin’
But he never lost his head
Even when he won the iron bed

He says hey, take a walk on the greedy side
Hey, Bumpkin, take a walk on the greedy side

And the sock puppets go Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo (Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo) (doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo) (doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo) (doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo)

License Plate Boy never once gave it away
Every firm had to pay RMSC pay
A re: line here and a flame war there,
The janitor’s closet is the place where

They said hey, take a walk on the greedy side,
Said hey, Plated, take a walk on the greedy side

DC Chef came and hit the street
Looking for salary info, and creating GP heat
Founded the Fashion Board
Talk about thongs gets him out of his gourd

They said hey, take a walk on the greedy side
Hey, Chef, take a walk on the greedy side
Alright

Fugee is just fading away
Blood sugar just got too low one day
So I guess she had to crash
Left New York and headed out to the Patch

She said hey, take a walk on the greedy side
Hey Fugee, take a walk on the greedy side

And the SKEKs go Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo (Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo) (doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo) (doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo) (doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo)

And for my next number...
 

Continuing my blasts from the past, in tribute to my man Lou, I give you "Heroin," GA-style.

I don’t know just where I’m going
But I’m gonna try for the big salary, if I can
‘Cause it makes me feel like I’m a man
When I put that check into my bank
And I’ll tell ya, things aren’t quite the same
When I’m rushing on a deal
And at my desk, another meal
And I guess that I just don’t know
And I guess that I just don’t know
I have made the big decision
I’m gonna try to nullify my life
‘Cause when the assignments begin to flow
When the collar is tight around my neck
When I’m closing in on death
And you can’t help me now, you GAs
And all you sock puppets with all your sock talk
You can all go take a walk
And I guess that I just don’t know
And I guess that I just don’t know
I wish I’d been born a hundred years ago
I wish I’d practiced law with civility
Going from this courthouse to that
In a lawyer’s suit and hat
Away from Bigflaw
Where a man cannot be free
Of all of the evils of this town
And of himself, and the GAs around
Oh, and I guess that I just don’t know
Oh, and I guess that I just don’t know
Bigflaw, be the death of me
Bigflaw, its my wife and its my life
Because a paycheck to my account
Leads to money in my wallet
And then I’m better off and dead
Because when the cash begins to flow
I really don’t care anymore
About all the GPs in this town
And all the clients makin’ crazy sounds
And everybody puttin’ everybody else down
And all the SKEKs piled up in mounds
Because when the money begins to flow
Ah, when the cash is in my wallet
And that wallet is in my hand
Then thank God that I'm as good as dead
Then thank your God that I'm not aware
And thank God that I just don't care
And I guess I just don't know
And I guess I just don't know

Pop-up stopper recommendation
 

GAs whose IT slavemasters allow them to install apps on their workstations might be interested in the new beta of the Google toolbar. In addition to putting a Google search field on your Internet Explorer 5.5 and later toolbar, the latest version (again, still in beta, so use at your own risk) has an integrated pop-up stopper.

The link to the beta download page seems to be down temporarily, but check back here periodically.

And REM continued the tradition in the '80's.

Since we're quoting song lyrics, here's another one of my favorites from Weird Al (frankly, I never "got" Nirvana -- I thought they sucked):
_______________________

What is this song all about?
Can't figure any lyrics out
How do the words to it go?
I wish you'd tell me, I don't know
Don't know, don't know, don't know, oh no
Dnn't know, don't know, don't know
CHORUS
Now I'm mumblin' and I'm screamin'
And I don't know what I'm singin'
Crank the volume, ears are bleedin'
I still don't know what I'm singin'
We're so loud and incoherent
Boy this oughtta bug your parents
Yeah
It's un-in-tel-ligible
I just can't get it through my skull
It's hard to bargle nawdle zouss(?)
With all these marbles in my mouth
Don't know, don't know, don't know, oh no
Don't know, don't know, don't know...
CHORUS
Well we don't sound like Madonna
Here we are now, we're Nirvana
Sing distinctly? We don't wanna
Buy our album, we're Nirvana
A garage band from Seattle
Well, it sure beats raising cattle
Yeah
And I forgot the next verse
Oh well, I guess it pays to rehearse
The lyric sheet's so hard to find
What are the words? Oh, nevermind
Don't know, don't know, don't know, oh no
Don't know, don't know don't know...
CHORUS
Well, I'm yellin' and we're playin'
But I don't know what I'm sayin'
What's the message I'm conveyin'?
Can you tell me what I'm sayin'?
So have you got some idea?
Didn't think so, well, I'll see ya!
Sayonara, sayonara
Ayonawa, adinawa
Odinaya, yodinaya
Yaddayadda, yaaahyaaah
Ayaaaaah!

BTW, Ollie, nice blast from the past. It's good to "see" y'all.

I was excited to see them release an album called "Nirvana Unplugged", until I found that they just meant non-electric guitars.
