    @Got my home in my hand......
    Well that was quite a buzz kill... Hope all turns out well.... Do you still say your prayers little darlin' do you go to bed at night Prayin' that tomorrow, everything will be alright But tomorrow's fall in number in number one by one You wake up and you're dying you don't even know what from Well they shot you point blank you been shot in the back Baby point blank you been fooled this time little girl that's a fact Right between the eyes baby, point blank right between the pretty lies that they tell Little girl you fell You grew up where young girls they grow up fast You took what you were handed and left behind what was asked but what they asked baby wasn't right you didn't have to live that life, I was gonna be your Romeo you were gonna be my Juliet These days you don't wait on Romeo's you wait on that welfare check and on all the pretty things that you can't ever have and on all the promises That always end up point blank, shot between the eyes Point blank like little white lies you tell to ease the pain You're walkin' in the sights, girl of point blank and it's one false move and baby the lights go out Once I dreamed we were together again baby you and me Back home in those old clubs the way we used to be We were standin' at the bar it was hard to hear The band was playin' loud and you were shoutin' somethin' in my ear You pulled my jacket off and as the drummer counted four You grabbed my hand and pulled me out on the floor You just stood there and held me, then you started dancin' slow And as I pulled you tighter I swore I'd never let you go Well I saw you last night down on the avenue Your face was in the shadows but I knew that it was you You were standin' in the doorway out of the rain You didn't answer when I called out your name You just turned, and then you looked away like just another stranger waitin' to get blown away Point blank, right between the eyes Point blank, right between the pretty lies you fell Point blank, shot straight through the heart, Yea point blank, you've been twisted up till you've become just another part of it Point blank, you're walkin' in the sights, Point blank, livin' one false move just one false move away Point blank, they caught you in their sights Point blank, did you forget how to love, girl, did you forget how to fight. Point blank they must have shot you in the head Cause point blank, bang bang baby you're dead.

    Night Trixie..... Wendy: Peter where do you live Peter pan: It's a secret place. Wendy: Please, tell me! Peter pan: Would you believe me if I told you? Wendy: I promise. Peter pan: For sure. Wendy: For sure! Peter pan: I have a place where dreams are born, And time is never planned. It's not on any chart, You must find it with your heart. Never Never Land. It might be miles beyond the moon, Or right there where you stand. Just keep an open mind, And then suddenly you'll find Never Never Land. You'll have a treasure if you stay there, More precious far than gold. For once you have found your way there, You can never, never grow old. And that's my home where dreams are born, And time is never planned. Just think of lovely things. And your heart will fly on wings, Forever in Never Never Land.

(Yes I did,) Get along, sweet little woman, get along, Be on your way, Get along, sweet little woman, get along, Be on your way, With a heave, and a ho, (Love the way you walk,) I just couldn't let her go.

    Did I see you downin a young girl's town With your mother in so much pain? I was almost there at the top of the stairs With her screamin' in the rain. Did she wake you up to tell you that It was only a change of plan? Dream up, dream up, let me fill your cup With the promise of a man. Did I see you walking with the boys Though it was not hand in hand? And was some black face in a lonely place When you could understand? Did she wake you up to tell you that It was only a change of plan? Dream up, dream up, let me fill your cup With the promise of a man. Will I see you give more than I can take? Will I only harvest some? As the days fly past will we lose our grasp Or fuse it in the sun? Did she wake you up to tell you that It was only a change of plan? Dream up, dream up, let me fill your cup With the promise of a man.

    @ Havin' A Ball
    The wildwood flower grew wild on the farm,And we never knowed what it was called. Some said it was a flower and some said it was weed, I never gave it much thought ...... One day I was out there talking to my brother, Reached down for a weed to chew on, Things got fuzzy and things got blurry, And then everything was gone! Didnt know what happened, But I knew it beat the hell out of sniffin burlap. I come to and my brother was there, And he said, Whats wrong with your eyes? I said, I dont know, I was chewing on a weed. He said, Let me give it a try. We spent the rest of that day and most of that night, Trying to find my brother, Bill. Caught up with him, bout six oclock the next morning, Naked, swinging on the wind mill! He said he flew up there. I had to fly up there and bring him down, He was about half crazy ..... The very next day we picked a bunch of them weeds, And put em in the sun to dry. Then we mashed em up and chopped em up, And put em in the corncob pipe. Smokin that wildwood flower got to be a habit, We didnt see no harm. We thought it was kind of handy, Take a trip and never leave the farm! All good things gotta come to an end, And its the same with the wildwood weed. One day this feller from Washington came by, And he spied it and turned white as a sheet. Then they dug and they burned, And they burned and they dug, And they killed all our cute little weeds. Then they drove away, We just smiled and waved .......... Sittin there on that sack of seeds! Y'all come back now, hear?

TOTALLY !! That was my big high school beer. Unbreakable cardboard cases - remember those suckers? Huge, thick, green bottles. Then we used to slam Rolling Rocks and argue what the "33" meant. That, by the way, one of the true mystery questions of life...

Are you sure the green bottles are brewed south of the border? The (terrible) stuff in the brown bottles was and is brewed in my old home town (London) - also would not drink it knowing where that plant is built...and what it is built on - and half the people that work there...remember, Labatt's used to allow their workers to pull beers off the line and drink on the job...hell they used to have beer vending machines in the break room that were free...ah the 80's now there is H&S to deal with...now they put a weekly 24 on your paycheck.

The green bottles were what we used to send across the border - had an alcohol content of like 3% and tasted more like water or Coor's light than beer...Brown bottles were domestic and had an alcohol content of 5%. These tasted like they were recycled beers from the night before...D-Town only ever had the greenies...they MAY have stopped that practice after they were bought by the Dutch and then bought again by the Brazilians...who knows anymore - never touch the stuff myself. Boo where you from?

Stubbies going waaaaay back. The death of the stubby is a sad story...interesting that upstate NY got the domestic stuff...even in Europe I always saw the green bottles...gave an already bad beer an even worse international reputation. In any event, I soooo would not recommend Labatt's under any circumstances. You CAN still get stubbies from a small brewer in Waterloo ON...Red Cap beer. The lager is kinda crap, but the Waterloo Dark is pretty decent. I always bought it when I was in Ontario just for the stubbies and the sentimental value. That and Labatt's and Molson, together killed the stubby.

Mmmmmmm.....beer. I grew up in Hamilton Ontario and I always drank Lakeport. I don"t know if its still around. It was piss but it was cheap. I've moved on to better since. Stella, Keiths, Rickards. But really...nothing beats a pint of Guinness. "These peanuts are making me thirsty."On a side note, did anyone see that catch Kevin Pillar made last night against the Rays? I nearly shit myself.

When she gets home from work in the future. My sister is here doing laundry and she does say "Hiiii." She is one of the three I was trying to score SC tickets for (including me), and she is the closes thing I have to a significant other - "You are obsessed" she literally said to me 8 minutes ago. "You should come with me to the lot in Santa Clara," I then said. "I probably will," she said, haha. Her heart knows a good thing ;) I grabbed my computer Tony. It was at my place - next town over. Dead.net is o-k on my phone, not great. It's a beautiful day here in California. It's my day off and I am cruising (as we say in Hawaii). With a little launders mixed innit.

I finally found this forum,..it was a task for me,.. I'm severely sleep deprived and this Santa Clara Ticket fiasco has got me almost to the point that Klang was over Chicago. It's keeping me awake at night. I was supposed to see these shows with my Friend from Venezuela, He's in Texas now and as bummed as I am. I know I'm listed on the spreadsheet as not going, but it should say needs 2 tix for each night. but 1 is a start,...thanks for any and all help, I have you all in mind as well,.. been scouring cash or trade,...ebay,...etc...looking for any face value anywhere. If I score I will share the wealth as well. I'm in PA., and Ca. is a lot of travel without at least one ticket. preferably a saturday so I have time to look for a sunday while there, as well as a cheap flighht and shelter. Muchos Garcias!

anyone have natty bo from Baltimore? (not natty lite but probably similar quality). friend just dropped off Great Lakes Christmas Ale and Commodore Perry IPA. wow! GLBC is the best unknown brewery IMHO. Yuengling...it is too bad it got chic. I always thought it was good everyday brew, reasonably priced. Not anymore...the pricing. still a decent brew but not cheap. looking forward to sipping a few with SDers in Chi in 73-ish days.

Haha yes. There are so many fun strings in the ball of yarn that's my name here. and MKAV - there is a forum on here for people to commune about their brews. I think it's called what's in your fridge? Not that this isn't a fine place to speak of such things. Of course it is. It's a fine place. Period.
