ZED!

nicely done nahant

Towels are over hanging on the tree waiting for your entrance Suz

hey nahant – i dive on saturday nites – sunday nite i’m just pooped (laughing)

Only on Saturday nights!!!

That was hilarious… I assume there was another take that didn’t invoke any of Professor Carlin’s Seven Words.

well nahant… why don’t you take a dive in my place?

whoah! can’t believe i got here so early! *grabs a primo beach chair*

I’m off to bed, folks. Good night, all.

hey bct – i could not find it in the utubes… i loved the fucking funny people at the end

g’nite bct

hey ndfg

President poised to exercise leadership on healthcare.

hey wigwam

I haven’t laughed like that in ages!~ Thanks Suz

I cannot decipher the punch line. Help! What does wifey say at the end before they all crack up?

hey margot – i loved it – thanks

That’s hilarious Suz! My buddy at work is looking for and administrative assistant and I just sent to him.

Hopefully I still have a job Monday after 5:00.

Hi all!

Ain’t it grand?

hey loohoo – didja get that the wife was headed off to see father duffy? who is not full of shit?

hey kelly – it was too fucking funny to pass up

when was the last time any of you saw me write ‘ah hell, just watch it’ in a post?

perhaps gov x now finds himself in mr tudball’s position with regard to the mrs…

Mebbe I should change me screen name to Fr. Duffy?

twould be a risk kelly – you could end up hearing cyber confessions

One big BELLY FLOPp … Kersplash…

Well, if’n you write “ah hell, just watch” that should be as good as a “spotlight” or a “must read” I’m thinking.

NOOOOO! My Ears!

good job nahant – i see you drenched that bulgarian judge (spitting)

It has been 45 years since my last confession, blah blah blah

hey loohoo – how’s the weather down in socal?

I, as Fr. Duffy, then sentence you to 45 Blah Blah Blahs, with an additional 10 Hail Suz’s.

Give me any sass, and I’ll make it WAY more rough, sinner! :)

BTW – please picture me in Vicki Lawrences’ hat.

Thanks.

Dam you sound like Father Laporte, but he was a really good priest died all too young of leukemia 33. He was loved by all but sure was tough in the box!!

I have an idea…how about 25 repetitions of “This is the song that never ends”?

He was loved by all but sure was tough in the box!!

Heh. Are you sure you reeeaalllly want to say it like that?

Let’s just imagine Vicki L’s hat doing that. It’d be kinda cool, no?

that’s what we all called it way back then…

We had a great guy at an after school thing at our Presbyterian church for teens.
Brother Peter, from a town in Louisiana. What a riot. Last I heard he was an ex-brother dating an ex-nun.

one looloo of a storm, thunder so loud that it sounds like gun fire.. pouring rain to the point of the two bedroom windows are leaking like a sive……..37mpg winds, it looks like it is running down the inside wall.

The whole thing is a riot. Good catch!! I just couldn’t understand the wife’s last remark.

Thanks!

ya can wear the hat only if you wear those white surgical support hose with it kelly

yikes – hey katy. was talking to my mom tonight and she was wanting rain. not sure if that is what she had in mind.

unplug anything electrical on those walls

Heck no! I’m just getting to know you. I enjoy your comments.

Warmed right up. Kinda crazy with water rationing in place along side fire season.

i am not looking foward to the drive to the bay area loohoo. weather doodette is saying it is gonna start heating up all this week with portland hitting 101 by fri or sat.

i figure the drive down to ca is gonna be a hot one

21st Century Mrs. Wiggins

No AC Suz??

Do you have airco?

Ooo, that’s downright evil. I lived in Ladd’s Addition, you know by Hawthorne and Division back in the late ’80s and I can’t imagine it being 101.

My kale would have been totally fucked!

mrs wiggins or mrs tudball (dammit, i keep typing turdball by mistake)

a/c in the car but it will only do so much. i think anything triple digits is gonna be a mix of windows down on the freeway followed by windows up a/c on.

stephanie (formerly known as baby girl) is going to petsit token and bailey. she is looking forward to the cool coastal temperatures but not the ‘nothing to do there’. she is loving living in downtown portland.

It was 114 for the was couple of days. then a huge dust storm then a ton of lightening. today was high heat, dust storm and then pouring rain. And do I mean pouring…..

Better if ya keep the windows shut Suz, you will get better mileage and should stay cooler. You coming down 101 or 5?

It Wasn’t Me care of George Thorogood

Is the Virginia Cafe still there downtown? I loved that place.

I was a 10th & Stark whore a bunch when I lived there. [grin]

mom said it was 115 and it threatened to storm last night but nothing – she’s in surprise

hey mr why – how ya doing tonight?

she’s near 12th and jefferson downtown just south of the nw/sw border. i don’t know if anything is there in pdx – i’ve driven through it and only been in pdx once to pick her up.

nahant – i get pretty good mileage – not so much worried about that as i am staying in a temp range below self-combustion – i don’t do hot well

Off the topic – I’ve been coddling this piece along for about 5 yeears now, and this youtube is about the 3rd incarnation out of 5.

I have new software that is helping me orchetrate and actually PLAY the orchestration parts but I’d like frank feedback from intelligent people; that would be YOU. FDL people.

While the tune is hesitant at first in this iteration, and clumsy in execution at the last part of it, do you find you like it? or you don’t? What & Why for whichever finding?

nothing off topic in late late nite threads kelly – off topic is the topic

So you have said and constant AC is better than letting the hot air in. My Jeep’s AC died years ago and I have made the trip up to Portland with the windows open up 5. From there we drove to Hells canyon … Snake River on the border of IDEEHOE… sure was hot but after a looong while you get used to it.. specially when you don’t have a choice!!

Thanks! Yer a pal Suz.

mr why – i had not heard george t do that one before. saw him years ago at the bb king blues fest and he did a sky is crying that ripped my heart out.

yeah.. as a kid we never had ac and used to do car trip vacations in the summer — windows down was our only option

sometimes it seems as if your right and left hands are in conflict – at times the left is jarring when the right is being light and airy…

dayam you play well dood

i hope that makes sense… non piano player… around the 25 sec mark.

My Sweetie says it sounds a bit like Gershwin…but

Thanks – that speaks to orchestration; “Who is playing what” and that’s totally unclear in this piano only version.

You motivate me to be very clear in the orchestra part vs. piano, and that’s very helpful.

thanks.. wasn’t trying to sound critical… i think my ear was picking up that something is missing

Yow! What a compliment! Considering I slaughter Gershwin on a regular basis!

You did pick up on “missing.” And that’s very helpful. This new Cakewalk software I have for my synth should help me have a virtual orchestra and I’m looking for specific criticisms, and yours helps.

It really does.

So when I finally catch up the live piano and synth together, I shuld get a better product. I theory anyway. :)

kewl – looking foward to hearing the finished product

I attended the catholic church first year in college. Mandatory church attendance (any church) – had to turn in an IBM card (’member those?) to prove you’d been there.

Catholic church was top of the line for in/out flexibility.

hey sunny

She’ll manage with facebook, etc.!

Well, it just took me an hour to get out of the Carol clips. Laughing/crying/can’t breathe experience. Hadn’t laughed enough this w/e, but fine now.

hey emerson – glad ya enjoyed it

she has a boyfriend (new) and i think that has a lot to do with her not looking forward to a fridge full of mom’s cooking as much as i thought she would.

I’m sure he’ll have an impact going after Rahm’s Blue Dog buddies.

Hey Suz, should I bring more of a main course to nahant’s or more of a side dish?

emerson – i think you should ask him. i’m bringing a salad. he’s making jambalaya and pies. i wonder if we could use more desserts or finger foods or sodas. write nahant and ask him.

IBM card (’member those?)
Yup saw many of them early on… Relic now my relics are 8080 processors and some 4 bit ones Xerox used in the Star computers, they were used in parallel so you could get a 16 bit word… 198k memory… shit better shut up

Will do. I can make this peppery Italian cheese bread that would go well with jambalaya and beer.

i sure as hell hope he puts a leash on the blue dogs.

there he is right above your comment.

Hey Nahant! What do you think of Italian cheese bread with your jambalaya?

Hey emerson bring food good food, spurious is bring hot wings, so bring something You would like to share with the rest of us. The jambalaya is certainly a main dish with chicken smoked ham, Andouille and shrimp in it along with the veggies and rice… Shit making me hungry all over again… Oh and do bring something to drink. We will have bottled water and maybe some other beverages but if you have some thing you like bring it!! Hot or cold your choice and finger foods are always a hit with the Pups…
Oh I heard from Kirk and he says he wishes he could but just can’t make it Saturday.

Yummy!! Bring it on!!

too bad kirk can’t make it nahant

Lord they had fun making that very funny show.

Thanks, Suzanne.

I know we all would love to see him and he said he feels the same way!! But maybe next time!! There will be a next time ya know!!

hey teddy – glad you liked it

perhaps when petro comes down

Dang ya read my thoughts, iirc he will be down in a couple of months! Maybe punaise could also make it..

maybe we can hornswaggle larue to attend that one…. and bring some of his fabulous cooking

Bailout Overseer Says Banks Misused TARP Funds

Many of the banks that got federal aid to support increased lending have instead used some of the money to make investments, repay debts or buy other banks, according to a new report from the special inspector general overseeing the government’s financial rescue program.

The report, which will be published Monday, surveyed 360 banks that got money through the end of January and found that 110 had invested at least some of it, that 52 had repaid debts and that 15 had used funds to buy other banks.

Big Bucks screwing the People again!! What % rate do you now have on your credit cards compared to a year ago??? Loan Sharks every one of them.

Would be great I have heard about his cooking and I love good food!! Lets hope he can make it. Jacqrat says she also can’t make it but wishes she could!!

:( i was looking foward to seeing her again. she recently lost her dog bravo.

She hadn’t mentioned that… Seems there is a lot of that going on!!! WTF!!

was within the past couple months and yeah…. the pups have had a bad run of it lately.

what a surprise :-(

Yeah just like Goldman Sachs

gonna be an interesting week for sure.

IIRC, Elizabeth Warren has been saying this for quite some time now, but I didn’t see her name mentioned in this article.

I woulda thought she would have also… She sure has been waving red flags all along. I do like her she sure knows what she is talking about and explains thing in a way that even I can understand..

they do not like elizabeth warren – nor do they like shelia blair.

both are telling truth to power and the whodo’s in dc prefer they not get any coverage unless absolutely necessary – at least that is my take on the lack of media attention.

lack of media attention.

They are all bought and paid for!! move on nothing here to see…

Stiglitz and Black are also treated like the plague. Krugman gets an occasional audience, but is evidently overruled by Geithner and Summers.

Extra specially nice some used the money to buy other banks. Just what we’d all hoped for – fewer banks.

if they don’t understand they can not report. they think their duty lies in reporting both sides instead of honoring their duty to the truth.

those who do not follow these new media rules do not get air time by our corporate media.

too big to fail should be illegal.

what ever happened to anti-trust – remember the breakup of ma-bell into the baby bells because att had a monopoly on telephones.

those rules seem not to apply to financial houses

All those rules went out the door Suz! Thats we have all the problems we do from housing, health care to the whole freaking financial mess we are in!! The fucking Rich are getting Richer and the rest of us are being reduced to chattel to be used and then tossed!! It is way past time things change! I say we go back to 90%+ taxes on the rich and get rid of this freedom of speech crap for corporations, fuck they are not people ya know!!

i blame ray-gun

Well on that last note Night Pups sleep well when ya get there… gotta start making this mess look like a home…

g’nite nahant… time for me to head out myself.

thanks for a great sunday evening pups. g’nite all.

I watched the death of usury laws up close and personal in the early ’70s. Foreshadowed what was to come. The end of lessons learned from the Great Depression.

Disclosure trumps regulation.. a/k/a greed trumps common sense.

nite Suz. Thanks for the hospitality.

.
Boy, if they hadn’t edited out all the funny, I would have watched that show all the time. As it is, I just watch summer music videos.
.

Ah, when life was simple…and fun.
