rcommal said...: I'm deliberately not commenting in response to the rest of the lyrics this song (as I'm not to those of the rest of the songs you've posted tonight)...

because I don't know what's going on. And because I worry.

And because I wish you, always, as always, well.; June 14, 2012 at 12:43 AM
BJM said...: What rcommal said.

Keep yer pecker up and yer powder dry.; June 14, 2012 at 12:50 AM
MamaM said...: Innured's the word.

In a bird by bird world.*

One word, one package at at time.

Makes a difference.

Those with fixed opinions

Don't have the willpower

Needed to remain open,

Take care of those

Who come seeking.

*"Thirty years ago my older brother, who was ten years old at the time, was trying to get a report on birds written that he'd had three months to write. It was due the next day. We were out at our family cabin in Bolinas, and he was at the kitchen table close to tears, surrounded by binder paper and pencils and unopened books on birds, immobilized by the hugeness of the task ahead. Then my father sat down beside him, put his arm around my brother's shoulder, and said, 'Bird by bird, buddy. Just take it bird by bird.'" Anne LaMott; June 14, 2012 at 1:35 AM
rcommal said...: Anyone else make note of, or at least notice, the version of "Comfortably Numb" that TY chose? And what the notable things are about it?; June 14, 2012 at 1:50 AM
MamaM said...: I read it rcommal, but am not sure what you're asking for or consider notable, as there's a number of directions one could go, w/boats, dreams, listening, moving lips and fleeting glimpses.

What I noted last night after looking for a clip of the Wendy Williams show and listening through her After Show, I've Got a Filter video, was her talking mostly about herself and her own fashion ideas of how to look great as a larger size. Very little said about the interview with Lisa, BBS or the makeovers. Wendy was dynamic, but it was mostly about her.

Other online comments read today involved more of the same food/willpower/wheat and carb consumption controversies hauled out whenever weight gain and loss issues come up.

What I see happening with the show and on facebook goes beyond any of the moving lips to provision, head lifting, and transformation.; June 14, 2012 at 2:49 AM
Titus said...: I loved nature shows and I watched Penquins fucking all night.

It's hard for the penguin to the meet his match and even harder if his youngin doesn't come home and is ate by a sea lion.

Life is fucking rough out there for the penguins.

At least they seem happy and content while fucking. The female was on her back cooing and her eyes were closing and she seemed to be enjoying getting the male penguin hog up her twat. Even if some of the other male pengy's ate her first child.

Those penguins mate for life and some of them even meet another gay penguin and are mates for life.

Gay Pengys-totally sad.

ndspinelli said...: When did you become so obtuse, man! It's like receiving messages from a hostage.; June 14, 2012 at 9:19 AM
MamaM said...: Obtuse, cryptic or clear as a bell? How many times does a guy have to walk up to you, sing right to your face and walk away?; June 14, 2012 at 11:50 AM
Chip S. said...: nd, my friend, I think the word you're looking for is "oblique".; June 14, 2012 at 1:41 PM
Chip S. said...: We're both looking for Trooper's angle, anyway.; June 14, 2012 at 1:42 PM
Chip S. said...: MamaM's oblique-not-obtuse-or-even-very-obscure reference to Jim Morrison reminded me of one of my favorite children's verses:

James James
Morrison Morrison
Weatherby George Dupree
Took great
Care of his Mother,
Though he was only three.
James James Said to his Mother,
"Mother," he said, said he;
"You must never go down
to the end of the town,
if you don't go down with me."; June 14, 2012 at 1:45 PM
chickelit said...: Speaking of angles--I know it's tangenital, but I think Haz and DBQ are both nudists.; June 14, 2012 at 2:26 PM
chickelit said...: Not full-time nudists, but not exactly partial either.; June 14, 2012 at 2:35 PM
Chip S. said...: The tangenital is the difference between total and partial nudity.; June 14, 2012 at 3:26 PM
Dust Bunny Queen said...: @ chick

lol. Whenever I can. Fortunately our property is rather isolated so we can with impunity. We have a wireless bell that tells us if someone is coming down the driveway...the only way in and enough time to throw on something so we don't shock anyone.

My parents were nudists (actually rather bohemian smoked pot and all before the hippies discovered it) and we went to nudist 'camps' and resorts (in the 1950's and 60's) until I was about 16, at which time I started to not especially want to go because the old flabby men were annoying. Started going again in college when I had boyfriends to accompany me. One thing a nudist colony will teach you is that the majority of the world does not have picture perfect bodies. Seriously not. I also learned that I don't want to get a deep dark tan and turn into a wrinkled leather hand bag like some of those women.

It was great fun for us as little kids because we could go swimming in the buff and generally have a great time. There is nothing greater than lazing in the sun or the dappled shade on a hot day with a tall cool drink and feel the breeze on your body and a nearby pool, body of water or cooled hot tub to jump into periodically.

Everyone should try it!!; June 14, 2012 at 3:39 PM
Titus said...: The lesbian penguins have short hair on top and long hair in the back.; June 14, 2012 at 8:21 PM
Michael Haz said...: @DBQ - Yep. At the cabin, which is remote from neighbors, it's always clothing optional, unless others are heard arriving, or the fishermen are getting too close to the shore.

Dear wife once fell asleep in the boat along the shore only to awake to admirers in a fishing boat. they tipped their hats with a polite "ma'am" before trolling away.; June 14, 2012 at 10:19 PM
Michael Haz said...: Not a nudist, though, chick. Just comfortable in my own skin in private. And tan.; June 14, 2012 at 10:20 PM
