Midnight Mary
(I hope that link isn’t cookie dependent…mmmmm…cookies…)
Midnight Confessions — The Grass Roots
And I’ve got Clapton’s “After Midnight” for a change of pace…
Forgot Clapton.
I’ll play an old favorite of mine – Watching the River Run by loggins/messina
I’ve got Skynyrd’s best song playing in the background now : Simple Man.
I love that song. Actually just about all their songs I like. Many years ago I saw them and Charlie Daniels in concert.
Actually since I’m from Alabama, the best song they ever did was Sweet Home Alabama.
I bet that was a great show. I hope that Devil Went Down to Georgia rocked.
Charlie Daniels was the best. I was kind of disapointed in Skynyrd though.
Well, I mean when you’ve got like 8 different guys playing guitar, it’s got to be hard keeping them all on the same page, right?
Yea but I think they were all too high to keep on any page that night.
When I saw Skynard, you could say the same thing re: the audience–one concert I barely remember. (But I did get a t-shirt.)
You all tired me out. I think I just want to watch the Olympic skating. But I can watch it in here as long as we don’t have any more orgies.
What? No more orgies?
I think I might have to retire too, in that case…
Damn if I’m not always late for the good stuff.
I think it’s time for me to head to bed also.
Have a pleasant night.
Home at last! It has been a lo-o-o-o-ong day!
Great colors! You did have a long day.
It helped to be able to check into the Froggy Bottom throughout!
looking through the window with longing
Exactly!
from earlier — that’s what I get for switching into Devoted Spouse Mode… 🙁
Only 8:40, but think I’ll turn in early and do some reading before turning on the sleep timer and turning off the light…
Orgies??
uh huh
You don’t even want to know. I’m exhausted.
but you came back for more
I’m torn between two responses. Choose your own adventure.
or
I pick number 1 — much more truthful
I don’t know who put us on the front page, but I have a feeling that he / she will regret it before the night is over.
oh yeah
but what do we care? It’s not our advertisers?
I just woke up. Where’e the oils and lotions? And how you’d get over here?
You put us on live web cam? You’ll do anything for ratings.
And you have to bring your own oil.
hmm. I’m not sure that would be good for ratings…
Well … you could probably borrow some oil from emjw, he says he’s exhausted
You talkin to me? You’re asking the wrong guy for oil and lotion pal.
maybe I can just borrow your medallin and some chest hair?
Dude, this is the 21st century. you gotta be metro, sans chesthair.
Hah! Tell it to Merv the Perv.
When I think of orgies I see tiger print silk shirts, bell bottom double knit pants, moustaches, and the sound of cheesy white funk music in the backround. Not a pretty picture.
OK you two, get with the program. You have to be entertaining if you’re gonna hang with us.
Entertain
You do understand that a dude just asked me where the lotin is right?
I’m not entertained yet
See, this is where you need the webcam.
This is worse than the geriatric dvd that andi and jim made
maybe they want to be alone with each other?
Entertainment is a lady saying she’ll do anything if someone comes and paints her place for her ;o)
I’m gonna make a quick inspection . . .
hmmm no paint
no honey, honey
I’m not as trim as I used to be,
but still…
umm, don’t ask
Dude, I’m not even sure what to ask.
Makes two of us.
I’ll ask, did you rent that or buy it?
Guys, please keep me out of this…
Hell w/it–I’ll ask anyway–WTF?
Good question
I said don’t ask ;oP
I’m asking anyway! WTF?
Yes!
Once you’re focused — you get answers.
Still waiting…
Make sure you use latex. You don’t want to paint her place with anything toxic.
🙂
You missed it too?
Don’t worry. I think this part of the night might go down as the stranger part.
I agree. Furthermore, I blame (thank?) supersoling.
Nothing wrong w/that. Compared to all the insanity it the world today, this is normal!
Perhaps subliminally, I decided to listen to some old school Aerosmith tonight.
Now I’m listening to Janie’s Got a Gun. I think I remember reading somewhere that The Daily Show did a bit with that song, replacing Janie with Cheney, but the fact that I missed that episode doesn’t make the parody any less hilarious.
It was probably the painted faces that you were subliminally thinking of tonight.
If they were so subliminal, then why was I thinking about them?
this, grasshopper, you must ask yourself.
So I guess the other two went off together. Interesting.
wink, wink
look up
I’m
speechless
that’s nothing.
wait till you see my painter’s pants.
Are they worse than your painted’s pants?
All i know is someone said orgy. There I was winding down for the night.
Sadly, Mary still isn’t entertained.
Well …
I’m sorry Mary. I can’t do this. I respect you too much. Beside my Grandma is named Mary too and I just had a fucked up thought.
I remind you of your GRANDMA?
Only in the way I respect you both :o)
that answer’s not gonna cut it boy
Sorry super, but if you put up a comment every time you have a fucked up thought I do believe you might crash BooMan’s server.
Well…..
never mind
1st rule of holes SS…when you’re in one, stop digging.
No, but she is speechless. I think that is even more rare.
I’m still speechless
I’m sorta speechless too. I don’t know what I was thinking with the pink backround.
Where’s BooMan?
Can this stay top of the page all day tomorrow?
By then I might have thought of something to say.
Pink? That’s all you regret?
Well I do regret that new York isn’t closer to Missouri ;o)
And it really sucks that Acapulco isn’t closer to Ann Arbor…
We might need to leave for that beach again
How about this one?
(I know, I know, I’m breaking the margins. Live with it.)
I like
You should have moved us left. I’d rather be left than right.
And I would have found you.
Good night Mary :o)
Well, you can join me at the table down there for dinner now, if you’d like.
Three’s a crowd so I’m calling it a night.
I can count on some interesting dreams now though :o)
I’m not sure how you have an orgie with less than three people but if you must go …
Guess that means no orgie…
Yeah, I like you Kid, but you’re just not my type.
Think that’s mutual, no offense intended…hey who had the lotion?
Tonight I’m just happy, New York is farther away from Missouri than Michigan. hint,
Hey, I think you just got a compliment Mr. Mich.
Hey, you’re not that far from me!
Nope, not too far at all…I don’t remember exactly where you’re at, but I do recall that it’s somewhere near SE Michigan.
Not far from 23.
Probably something along the lines of ‘Where did BooMan put that damned oil?’
He took it with him. Must be entertaining himself.
Well, I guess at least someone is entertained.
Anybody want to join me for dinner?
This is nice
Can I interest you in a Margarita?
You ARE good
But only one orgie per night
Damn.
Ah well, it appears that we at least scared BooMan off his own front page.
Susan’s going to be upset — we messed up the new family values policy. Although, now that I think of it nobody said fuck (oops).
I’m still fairly speechless.
WTF?
I think the only man who can answer that question is either a) sleeping or b) too involved in his own f’ed up (see, I didn’t say it!) thoughts to clarify this situation.
I wonder what our ratings will be?
I have to think that they will be nothing short of awesome.
We’re probably gonna need bodyguards from now on
Shit.
We’ll make BooMan pay for them. Out of the royalties he’s gonna get when he sells this.
That WAS the plan all along wasn’t it?
Clarify what?
That I came into a discussion about orgies and then booman asks me where the oil is and then I hear about Merv the Perv and his half ounce of Merv juice.
All I did was post a nice pic of myself :oP with some questionable language and everyone is WTF’ing all over the place. I came in at 17 comments. Stayed a few minutes and left at 96 comments.
Mission Accomplished :o)
And I’ll still respect Maryb in the morning.
Back again?
I feel as though I owe you an apology for that less than tasteful picture and the comparison to my dear Grandma. The only thing you too have in common is you share the beautiful name of Mary.
Please forgive me.
Goodnight again :o)
sure, apology accepted
I’m not sure you needed to apologize, but I’m always happy to accept them.
blasphemy, I say, only one per night,
nuttin’ but lightweights here eh?
Were you watching?
How’d we look?
Hey, I’m walkin’ around like Chester on Gunsmoke! That tell ya enough?
And whatever in tarnation you et at the Greek place, I’m going to order double of it the next time I go.
and I didn’t even have any ouzo
Were you here at OUZO in LESVOS
I wish
I’ve never been to Greece
Well me neither, but I’m still kickin’ so there’s hope for that too.
didn’t ya tell’m I’m all for sharing…
He was exhausted an hour ago, before all the fun began.
I should put up a new cafe.
Nah
Well…you Do have the power now, and this one’s getting a bit unwieldy, unless we just leave it to the morning crew to clean up…heh, heh, heh.
Peace
Nah
somebody put us on the front page and so somebody’s just gonna have to live with the overnight cafe on the front page.
That’s the spirit, let’s run it up to 200, teach’m a lesson.
this oughta be #143 +-…whaz-up? Or dare I ask?
(deeply suspicious)
drink up huh?
I wasn’t born yesterday you know. I was in a sorority. I’ve been to fraternity parties like this before.
and the only nefarious drink I ever mixed was 100 proof vodka and grapefruit juice, 1/2 & 1/2. Goes down just like lemonade… with excellent results, I might add.
[ note to younsters: don’t try this at home, or away from home, or… well just don’t drive. ]
OK
Maybe one
How’d that shot go down? Smooth?
ej was at the bottom yappin’ with dada about HST. Good quote at the peanut link.
wonder why he has 4 initials.
It’s really a pain to remember the order
you talkin’ to me?
no, but I could be
Hey, lets all move left again. Meet you at the bottom of the heap.
Whoa, go out for awhile and ya’ll are front page orgyizin’…must be the spirit of the good Doctor on the first anniversary of his passing:
The Edge…there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.
RIP Hunter S. Thompson
When the Going gets Weird, the Weird turn Pro.
Peace
Hi dada,
I have to think that you’ve already seen this diary over at dKos about Hunter S. Thompson. Good stuff.
Yes, but thanks for the link…did you read the comments?
Peanut had one hell of a quote – HERE..
About 10 -12 yrs ago sat in a bar in Aspen for about 4 hours listening to HST and Ed Bradley hold court…he was one crazy fucker. Smart as hell and wickedly funny, he is missed.
Peace
I did. Man, the dude knew how to just lay it out there, didn’t he?
With that, I’m off to bed. Good night, all!
HST gave a “lecture” vicinity of UND in Grand Forks, when, who knows, a decade or two ago, maybe, a couple of my brothers and I went. I think we got a good hours worth of him then. Great and irreverent as usual.
He used to come to Boulder every couple years a do a show…got in a whole bunch of grief with a fire extinguisher at one of them…some dick-head pissed him off and he hosed him.
Yeah, he could be a tad touchy… when I hollered, “Hey, what’s under your hat?” he took his leave, ha! Was he wearing a hat the whole time in the bar too?
Yeah he was…I don’t think I ever saw him without a hat. I suspect hedidn’t like the fact that he was nearly bald. Here’s a pic his widow just put up on the Gonzo site…Sans hat, he was rather vain.
Over here.
Meet you at the bottom.
OK then here we all are, now what?
sorry, I had to powder my nose
How’s that G# diary coming? I’ve got to stop by the library this week a see what they’ve got. Anything in particular you’d rec?
Peace
I was doing a little diary editing on hard copy, since then I’ve dallied here, slackin’ off.
The 101,102,& 103 of it would be 3 books, The Politics of Nonviolent Action: Part 1 Power and Struggle, Part 2 The Methods of Nonviolent Action, Part 3 The Dynamics of Nonviolent Action
But most anything by GS would be good.
Diary is based on a work by Helvey, who was/is a protege’ of GS.
I don’t know if I’ll have it ready by tomorrow or not. Depends on how late I stay up tonight, I might be good for a couple more hours…
You’ll lose me in a few minutes, gotta work tomorrow so I gotta sleep
Well, ya done goot hangin’ on this long. We’re mighty proudaya too. Sleep well, sweet dreams,
Maybe I’ll wrap up that diary yet tonight.
With all that entertaining tonight, you must be beat.
Sleep well
Peace
Thanks. I found an interesting review/analysis of his Theory of Power on the web.
Linkage
Thanks, that looks interesting.
I’ll have to see what all it says before I link to it, as I seem to have trouble enough getting folks interested in the topic as it is without getting into a pro and con on GS theory.
But it looks like some great background info for me, and I could go off surfing on the author of the critique too.
Don’t put it up till you’re comfortable with it. I was just asking because I’d found that and was intrigued.
Gonna call it a day…I see Froggy put up a morning thread so we ain’t gonna see 200, least not on my shift.
Be well
Peace
Nice to have someone interested in my favorite topic.
Hasta manyana
OT, but is toologies, (butchered the spelling for sure on that one), the bar that used to have the church pews in it still operating (assuming you’re still in Boulder)?
Tulagi’s…gone. Lasted off and on up until about 3 yrs ago.
Later
What a mess and … what IS that picture?
New Cafe open.
Come on over.
