    New York was cold and dampTV is just a blank Looks like another dead end Sunday What about an early night Monday never feels so bright Ooh the sheets feel cold and lonely Who wants to brave the pouring rain For a glass of French champagne? Well grab a cab, grab a cap and baby, come right by And she was hot - as she kissed my mouth She was hot - as I wiped her brow She was hot - she pinned me to the ground She was quick - she knew her way around She was hot - as she tore my clothes She was hot - she had no place to go She was hot - on a cold and rainy night Detroit was smoky grey Nothing like the good old days Well I got a fever that I'm fighting I don't need your company Leave me in my misery I can take the rebound just like lightning And she was hot - in a 50's dress She was hot - her lips were flashing red I was lost - in her burning flesh I was hot - I was dripping sweat She was hot - in the Detroit snow She was hot - she had no place to go She was hot - on a cold and rainy night And she was hot - and I had the blues She was hot - honey, where were you? If you were in my shoes You would be excused She was hot - you can never wait She was hot - never hesitate She was hot - on a cold and rainy night I think I'm going off the rails Riding down the pleasure trails I was taking passion where you find it Honey when you were young and fresh And you need the touch of your flesh Go take the treasure where you find it And she was hot - in the melted snow She was hot - in the molten glow She was hot - she got it in the blood She was hot - like the dam that bursts She was black - she was strong and true She was black - and her eyes were blue She was lost - and she took a chance At just a brief romance Down the avenue into the lost bayou Into the tall bamboo, back to the human zoo I wish you all the best, I hope we meet again On a cold Chicago night She was hot She was hot She was hot hot hot She was hot hot hot She was hot hot hot She was hot hot hot She was hot hot hot She was hot hot hot She was hot hot hot She was hot hot hot

    I can't quit herShe's got a hold on me She got her hand on my soul I can't quit her 'Cause I see her face everywhere I go In the city streets, in the country fields In the back of my mind I know it can't be real For a woman to possess All the tenderness she had But the hands of time Keep tickin' on my back 'Cause it's been so long Since I had her back beside me Yeah, I know I can't quit her 'Cause on my darkest night She comes on like a light I can't quit her Try as I may, with all my might She had a woman's touch And a young girls eyes And in seconds flat I was proselytized Turned around And made to feel sweet love But the hands of time Keep tickin' on my back 'Cause it's been so long Since I had her back beside me yeah True love is somethin' Ev'ry young boy knows about And he fights his whole soul all the best to find some I was a young boy 'Til I held her in my arms Now I find that I'm strung out behind some, hey I can't quit her She got her hand on me She got a hold on my soul 'Cause I your face everywhere I go I can't quit her, woo ooo yeah, I know You know I see your face Everywhere I go! I need her...I need the little girl

    So Chicago bomb and arson squad was called out on Wednesday to examine an empty cannister close to Soldier Field..authorities were relieved to find it wasn't a bomb...only an empty laughing gas tank. Imagine that.... Are they blind, how could they have missed that when it was going on unfortunately all weekend. They were not being inconspicous at all. Balloons everywhere and guys like ice cold..right here. Damn shame, hippy crack that is. A laugh for the way my life has gone A laugh for the love of a friend A laugh for the fools in the eyes of the world The love that will never end Ha Ha Ha... Let's hear a laugh for the man of the world Who thinks he can make things work Tried to build the New Jerusalem And ended up with New York Ha Ha Ha... A laugh for the sun redballing Through the thermal inversion haze A laugh for the nuclear good-time boys Numbering all our days Ha Ha Ha... A laugh for the newsprint nightmare A world that never was Where the questions are all "why?" And the answers are all "because." Ha Ha Ha... A laugh for the dogs barking at our heels They don't know where we've been A laugh for the dirty window pane Hiding the love within Ha Ha Ha... Tapping our feet to an ancient tune A laugh for the time gone by A laugh for me and Kitty in the delivery room Waiting for the child's first cry Ha Ha Ha...

You sir are risking the mighty rath of Klang. He rules from an awe inspiring rig, much like the Wizard of Oz's. Only his uses the avatar of an evil clown. Maybe you haven't seen it. Those of us who have know how terrifying it is. You have been forewarned. Just remember Mayor Klangstone has ordered that no one look behind the curtain.

Klang is Rgggrrr's alter-ego. Beans spilled. Or rumor spread? Again, beware the meds and round-number hoarders. I got no dime (or your $20 bill) but I've got some time to hear your story.

I never saw that one coming. But now that you mention it. It does seem suspicious that you never see them post a comment at the same time. I feel that this warrants furthur investigation.

Hi there and welcome to sunshiney daydreamer land! Well I don't have the official packet info in front of me at the moment, but the general gist is: *keep it friendly and positive *keep discussions generally pertaining to this group and the social gatherings being planned for Chicago, additional local happenings, the pick-a-nick and other group meetings * local info for help and aid to us all * use the other main thread for ticket discussions or save it for PMs * use the other main thread for complaints about the ticket situation if you must * be kind, rewind keep peace in your heart and get on the bus! rgergelis is driving the wheels off this crazy thing and we need enough bodies aboard to keep us balanced on the road to Chi-town. All aboard!! P.S. Mayor in name and satirical statute only. Here to help out if and when I can, just like any ordinary good citizen of dreamer-land.

From John Cash and the Carter family..... Oh well I'm tired and so weary but I must go along Till the Lord comes and calls, calls me away Well the mornings so bright and the land is the light And the night, night is as black as the sea There will be peace in the valley for me someday There will be peace in the valley for me, Oh Lord I pray There will no sadness, no sorrow, no trouble, trouble I see There will be peace in the valley for me. Well the bear will be gentle and the wolf will be tame And the lion shall lay down by the lamb and the beasts from the wild shall be led by a child And I'll be changed from this creature that I am There will be peace in the valley for me someday There will be peace in the valley for me, Oh Lord I pray There will no sadness, no sorrow, no trouble, trouble I see There will be peace in the valley for me.
