    Sarge play it nice and easy for Toterooski!!!! In the timbers of Fennario the wolves are running round The winter was so hard and cold froze ten feet neath the ground Don't murder me I beg of you don't murder me Please don't murder me I sat down to my supper T'was a bottle of red whiskey I said my prayers and went to bed That's the last they saw of me Don't murder me I beg of you don't murder me Please don't murder me When I awoke, the Dire Wolf Six hundred pounds of sin Was grinnin at my window All I said was "come on in" Don't murder me I beg of you don't murder me Please don't murder me The wolf came in, I got my cards We sat down for a game I cut my deck to the Queen of Spades but the cards were all the same Don't murder me I beg of you don't murder me Please don't murder me In the backwash of Fennario The black and bloody mire The Dire Wolf collects his due while the boys sing round the fire Don't murder me I beg of you don't murder me Please don't murder me

    The bottom line's been snortedThe bottom card's been dealt No one knows like you know right now How truly bad it felt All your life you wasted On dreamin' about the day, Worker bees kill off their queen and carry all her eggs away Oh and if you die fearin' God And painfully employed You will not go to heaven, You'll go to Champaign, Illinois Up north in Chicago Where booze makes no one blush Memories come back to you In a double bourbon rush But memories aren't all bad Yeah and neither, my friend, are you there is an argument there must be some heaven left for hearts that are half true Oh and if you spend your whole life Driving horses into Troy You will not go to heaven You'll go to Champaign, Illinois No you will not go to heaven You'll go to Champaign, Illinois Roll on blacktop highway In circles towards the sun Springfield's in the distance, and that's the last big one After that comes judgment, Yeah and judgment will be swift You will be eliminated, But here's a parting gift: Oh and if you die fearing God And painfully employed No you will not go to heaven You'll go to Champaign, Illinois No you will not go to heaven You'll go to Champaign, Illinois No you will not go to heaven You'll go to Champaign, Illinois

Oh baby don't it feel like heaven right now Don't it feel like something from a dream Yeah I've never known nothing quite like this Don't it feel like tonight might never be again We know better than to try and pretend Baby no one could'a ever told me 'bout this I said yeah yeah [Chorus:] The waiting is the hardest part Every day you see one more card You take it on faith, you take it to the heart The waiting is the hardest part Well yeah i might have chased a couple women around All it ever got me was down Then there were those that made me feel good But never as good as I'm feeling right now Baby you're the only one that's ever known how To make me wanna live like I wanna live now I said yeah yeah [Chorus:] The waiting is the hardest part Every day you get one more yard You take it on faith, you take it to the heart The waiting is the hardest part Oh don't let it kill you baby, don't let it get to you Don't let it kill you baby, don't let it get to you I'll be your bleedin' heart, I'll be your cryin' fool Don't let this go too far Don't let it get to you

    Poster Gewee has given a REALLY good rundown on Chicago points of interest in the 'Guide to Chicago' thread. A good list of places to eat (including the vegan recommendations that I couldn't give rgr.) I'd take the poster down the line, MissReddin, with a grain of salt; there is a CLARK COUNTY in Illinois, but that's a way's away in Southern Illinois. Chicago is in COOK County. I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait!!!

    @One More Day...
    I find myself alive.... One more day to patch my sails, and shine my rails... Packing list is ready.... On my way to the mines Coffe is brewed.... Happy Hump Day...so hump like theres no tomorrow and now for the final time...Supper IS Ready Walking across the sitting-room, I turn the television off. Sitting beside you, I look into your eyes. As the sound of motor cars fades in the night time, I swear I saw your face change, it didn't seem quite right. ...And it's hello babe with your guardian eyes so blue Hey my baby don't you know our love is true. Coming closer with our eyes, a distance falls around our bodies. Out in the garden, the moon seems very bright, Six saintly shrouded men move across the lawn slowly. The seventh walks in front with a cross held high in hand. ...And it's hey babe your supper's waiting for you. Hey my baby, don't you know our love is true. I've been so far from here, Far from your warm arms. It's good to feel you again, It's been a long long time. Hasn't it? [The Guaranteed Eternal Sanctuary Man] I know a farmer who looks after the farm. With water clear, he cares for all his harvest. I know a fireman who looks after the fire. You, can't you see he's fooled you all. Yes, he's here again, can't you see he's fooled you all. Share his peace, Sign the lease. He's a supersonic scientist, He's the guaranteed eternal sanctuary man. Look, look into my mouth he cries, And all the children lost down many paths, I bet my life you'll walk inside Hand in hand, gland in gland With a spoonful of miracle, He's the guaranteed eternal sanctuary. We will rock you, rock you little snake, We will keep you snug and warm. [Ikhnaton And Itsacon And Their Band Of Merry Men] Wearing feelings on our faces while our faces took a rest, We walked across the fields to see the children of the West, But we saw a host of dark skinned warriors standing still below the ground, Waiting for battle. The fight's begun, they've been released. Killing foe for peace...bang, bang, bang. Bang, bang, bang... And they're giving me a wonderful potion, 'Cos I cannot contain my emotion. And even though I'm feeling good, Something tells me I'd better activate my prayer capsule. Today's a day to celebrate, the foe have met their fate. The order for rejoicing and dancing has come from our warlord. [How Dare I Be So Beautiful?] Wandering through the chaos the battle has left, We climb up a mountain of human flesh, To a plateau of green grass, and green trees full of life. A young figure sits still by a pool, He's been stamped "Human Bacon" by some butchery tool. (He is you) Social Security took care of this lad. We watch in reverence, as Narcissus is turned to a flower. A flower? [Willow Farm] If you go down to Willow Farm, to look for butterflies, flutterbyes, gutterflies Open your eyes, it's full of surprise, everyone lies, like the fox on the rocks, and the musical box. Oh, there's Mum & Dad, and good and bad, and everyone's happy to be here. There's Winston Churchill dressed in drag, he used to be a British flag, plastic bag, what a drag. The frog was a prince, the prince was a brick, the brick was an egg, the egg was a bird. (Fly away you sweet little thing, they're hard on your tail) Hadn't you heard? (They're going to change you into a human being!) Yes, we're happy as fish and gorgeous as geese, and wonderfully clean in the morning. We've got everything, we're growing everything, We've got some in We've got some out We've got some wild things floating about Everyone, we're changing everyone, you name them all, We've had them here, And the real stars are still to appear. ALL CHANGE! Feel your body melt; Mum to mud to mad to dad Dad diddley office, Dad diddley office, You're all full of ball. Dad to dam to dum to mum Mum diddley washing, Mum diddley washing, You're all full of ball. Let me hear you lies, we're living this up to the eyes. Ooee-ooee-ooee-oowaa Momma I want you now. And as you listen to my voice To look for hidden doors, tidy floors, more applause. You've been here all the time, Like it or not, like what you got, You're under the soil (the soil, the soil), Yes, deep in the soil (the soil, the soil, the soil, the soil!). So we'll end with a whistle and end with a bang and all of us fit in our places. [Apocalypse In 9/8 (Co-Starring the delicious talents of Gabble Ratchet)] With the guards of Magog, swarming around, The Pied Piper takes his children underground. Dragons coming out of the sea, Shimmering silver head of wisdom looking at me. He brings down the fire from the skies, You can tell he's doing well by the look in human eyes. Better not compromise. It won't be easy. 666 is no longer alone, He's getting out the marrow in your back bone, And the seven trumpets blowing sweet rock and roll, Gonna blow right down inside your soul. Pythagoras with the looking glass reflects the full moon, In blood, he's writing the lyrics of a brand new tune. And it's hey babe, with your guardian eyes so blue, Hey my baby, don't you know our love is true, I've been so far from here, Far from your loving arms, Now I'm back again, and babe it's gonna work out fine. [As Sure As Eggs Is Eggs (Aching Men's Feet)] Can't you feel our souls ignite Shedding ever changing colours, in the darkness of the fading night, Like the river joins the ocean, as the germ in a seed grows We have finally been freed to get back home. There's an angel standing in the sun, and he's crying with a loud voice, "This is the supper of the mighty one", Lord of Lords, King of Kings, Has returned to lead his children home, To take them to the new Jerusalem.

geopondermeister hit a home run. He's a masterful facilitator that always brings things back together and makes since of it all. Much like Sam Elliot's narration on the Big Lebowski. No one means to pee on The Dude's rug. It ties the room together.

not having caused enough trouble for one day i will add this tidbit. FB is abuzz about a cryptic announcement of an announcement. A DJ on KFOG this evening said an announcement is coming friday. i research such rumors because i have nothing better to do with my time. three unrelated people confirmed hearing it. no one had the exact wording but the announcement may be about added shows or just the simulcast details. either way- a DJ from the stationed messaged me and confirmed to tune in at noon on friday for the 'announcement'. i hate to spread rumors but lack of definitive answer is what drove dear klang mad. maybe we will have those answers on friday. i for one will be tuned in at noon.

Rough night last night, T-Horse kept hogging all the blankets. Shopping for a wagon as the sound system got too big for T-Horse. Couldn't get the speaker placement just exactly perfect. Starting to resemble The Wall of Sound. Gotta remember to turn it down a little as we pass by towns on our way to Chicago. 100% Fishhead Music.

I like the idea of using a wagon and trailer. T-Horse is claiming it's customary for the rider and horse to switch off.Is he right? Says all he eats is Spaghetti-O's and canned chili. How many cans do I feed him? I don't think I can believe everything he says. He's only been here one day and has everything screwed up.

"Thanks For The Information". McKenzie Bro's are an excellent source for informational " how to" videos. Check em out on you tube. Hi boo, this horse never stops talking. He's fluent in six languages. Claim's he's the inspiration behind "The Most Interesting Man In The World" commercials. Seems he drinks way too much beer for that to be true.

Just got a great idea. We can all gather at Klang's place. Have huge bon fires, play music all night. RRRRGRRR can whip up some of his world renowned breakfasts. Anyone know if Klang has a pool. Oh well, it's California, surely some of his neighbors do. T-Horse says he has some swim trunks. Ah, this is gonna be epic. Klang's gonna love it!!!!

Santa Clara will be announced tomorrow. Shhhhhh. Don't tell Klang,it's a surprise. First a surprise party at his house and now this. Is this July 'cause it sure feels like X-mas! Really, tomorrow. Be ready Klang in case tickets go on sale immediately. I can't bare to witness another shut-out. Unfortunately all my money is spent on pre and post parties in Chicago.

Let's roll with Dead Lurches. They wrote some original material. "Tweets" will be their encore. Original lyrics sung to the tune of Fluffhead (Phish). Bill will be bouncing his balls (around the room, obviously). He's a closet Phish-head. It's well documented.
