Stennie, if Gravity made your neck, back and brain hurt a day after watching it…I’m staying away! No back problems for me! I need less stress hormones coursing through my veins nowadays, thank you!!!!
My fav was the “whistle while you work/Hitler was a jerk/mussolini bit his weenie/Now it doesn’t squirt.” Obviously, I think that one goes back to 1941 or some WWII era…
I have never heard the one you mention, Stennie…
We had singalongs on Friday morning at my school, and we’d sing Angola children’s songs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpaGHHJua7U) only we’d say “vagina” instead of “manina”, and even a song about the Titanic (oh it was saaaaaad/oh it was saaaaaad/it was sad when that great ship went down (to the bottom of the…)/Husbands and wives/little children lost their lives/it was sad when the great ship went down.) I had a weird school…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcKttDHUv0E

I’m thinking of songs on the band bus — we need Karen Odell; she was always good with coming up with songs for us to sing, too. I don’t think you mentioned the army song….”the biscuits in the army, they say they’re mighty fine, one rolled off of a table and killed a friend of mine. Oh, I don’t want no more of Army life. Gee Mom I want to go, but they won’t let me go, gee Mom I want to go home.” Lots more versus….
oops….lots more verses
Can you please give a big old Fuck Off to the person who stole the Disney pins off of my hat today? Thank you.
Yay! Glad I could change your mind about RTFM, Bet! It’s pretty much the kind of thing I go for, really. So, I hope you will keep it going!!
It’s true that I have plenty of gadgets to listen to the Hucklebug, but much as I am loathe to admit it, I have only one brain and it can only be filled with so much… just ask Siskita–she knows all about my multitasking skills!! In that, I can do many things simultaneously, but I have to do them one at a time.

Sten, I am so sick of headlines like the ones you mentioned, Sten– “10 facts that will blow you away” or “6 things you can do to change your life forever” or “This video of snails mating will knock you on your ass” I feel like Gawker websites do this ALL THE TIME. And when I go to read them I am consistently underwhelmed. So now, whenever I see those kinds of headlines I never click on them. This is hard to do since I love io9.com, which is a Gawker blog.
That’s all I got this week…
I’ll do just about anything for a shout-out! <3

Hi Ladies!
I thought it would take me longer to catch up, but alas, I binge-listened and I was shit out of luck all week.
So…. I want to hear about Bet’s cafe in Athens. How often do you go to check on the cafe, Bet? And is this your tax shelter? ‘Cuz we’ve never heard about it – I’m just sayin’
I actually have My Best Enemy in my queueueueue, and I had a hard time watching it. I made it through about 5 minutes. Maybe. You’re very brave for watching the whole thing. As for what “Lifetime” would be in German – I know the word, Lebenszeit – but I’m not sure what channel corresponds. I’ll investigate and get back to you.
Kellie picked a fantastic topic! I loved this! I also really found it interesting that while I know many of Heidi’s songs, I know them with different words, such as:
Si Si my play mate,
Come out and play with me
and bring your jolly 3
Climb up my apple tree,
Slide down my rain barrel
Into my cellar door
and we’ll be jolly friends
Forevermore
Si si my enemy
I cannot play with you
My dolly has the flu
She threw up in my shoe
Ain’t got no rain barrel
Ain’t got no cellar door
… and I don’t remember how it actually ends.
Miss Mary Mack – really? Neither of you know that?
And then there is a song that I don’t know the title of, but I’m so sure one of you know
As I was walking down the street one dark and dreary day
I came upon a billboard and much to my dismay
The sign was torn and tattered for it had rained the night before
But quickly I could figure out the message that it bore:
Drink Coca Cola Cigarettes
Chew Wrigley Spearmint Beer
Ken-L-Ration dog food
Makes your wife’s complexion clear
Simonize your baby
With a Hershey’s candy bar
And Texaco’s the beauty cream
That’s used by all the stars
So, take your next vacation
In a brand-new Frigidaire
Learn to play the piano
In your winter underwear
Doctors say that babies
Should smoke ’till they are three
And people over 65
Should bathe in Lipton…T-I-D-E Cheeeer!
I’ve got more, but this comment has become epic The Pete-Like, and I fear you won’t read it all.
Good to have you back!
Here’s a song I recall, that I don’t think you mentioned:
Sally had a steamboat, steamboat had a bell
Sally went to heaven and steamboat went to
Hello, operator, give me number nine
If you disconnect me, I’ll kick your big
Behind the ‘frigerator, there was a piece of glass
Sally sat upon it and cut her little
Ask me no more questions, I’ll tell you no more lies
Sally told me this one before she shut her eyes.
Pretty scandalous, right?
Test?
