I'm so stupid, I signed up and got the Zot.

Don't leave the garage door closed while you run the motor, heat yourself up and post.

Could end badly.

Wonder if Boy George was born when Harrison wrote it?

And Coconuts fly!

We all have to get together (all 9 of us!) when the power goes off in the winter, unless it's warm like right now. Last thing I'd want is to be running the car in the garage ... we'd all be dead of carbon monoxide poisoning!

Probably his mother Elton John conceived him DURING that song.

[Tax-chick]

Well, I can't speak to coconuts from personal experience. I keep telling the kids that one of these days we're going to buy a bunch of weird stuff and make a big dinner in the Kerala, India style.

Gocha, it's past 3am there, so we in the coast of Arnold are 8 hours behind you.

Correct! As are we in the coast of Dino.

Money Brains?

Yuck, disease!

"Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, each one she passes goes - ah..."

Thanks! The song always made me think of myself, *blushing, here* but the image of the women on the beach with the flowers reminded me how much I miss my dad.

He, my mother and most of my sibs have green thumbs. I, on the other hand, am a Serial Plant Killer. Every green, growing thing that comes into my house, goes out brown, dry and dead...*sigh*

Fred, Barney, Betty and Willma there as well with Dino?

i feel a hot wind on my shoulder
and the touch of a world that is older
i turn the switch and check the number
i leave it on when in bed i slumber
i hear the rhythms of the music
i buy the product and never use it
i hear the talking of the dj
can't understand, just what does he say?

i'm on a mexican radio

i dial it in and tune the station
they talk about the u.s. inflation
i understand just a little
no comprende - it's a riddle

i'm on a mexican radio

i wish i was in tiajuana
eating barbequed iguana
i take requests on the telephone
i'm on a wavelength far from home
i feel a hot wind on my shoulder
i dial it in from the south of the border
i hear the talking of the dj
can't understand, just what does he say?

i'm on a mexican radio

what does he say?

Don't leave the garage door closed while you run the motor, heat yourself up and post.

Thanks. I ran the figures once and found I could get 8 (I think it was, I will recalculate if necessary) hours of runtime off the battery with a huge margin left for starting the car to recharge the battery. And even if it ran all the way down, there's the other car.

To run the laptop some more.

And where would tonight be WITHOUT a salute to Monica?

Song based on 23 year old figure.

Devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress,
Devil with the blue dress on.
Fe fe fi fi fo fo fum,
All looking down the street cause here she comes,
Wearing a wig and shades to match,
High heels shoes and an alligator hat,
Wearing pearls and a diamond ring,
Got bracelets on her arm and everything,
She's the devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress,
She's the devil, here she comes now.

Perfume smelling like Chanel Number Five,
Got to be the the finest thing alive.
Walks real cool, catches everybody's eye,
The cats are too nervous to even say "Hi,"
Not too skinny and she's not too fat,
She's a real hum-dinger and I like 'em like that.
She's a devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress,
She's a devil with the blue dress, here she comes now.
Devil in the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress,
Devil with the blue dress on

[Monkey Face]

"Agreed. Except now I can plug the 70W inverter in the cigarette lighter in the car and run an extension cord inside for the laptop and the cellphone (modem).

Haven't done it yet, but it might snow tonight and when it snows here the power usually goes out."

Thanks for the info! If I am ever fortunate enough to have a laptop and a car at the same time, I will remember to make sure the cigarette lighter receptacle is working, and that I have an adapter! ;o]

I'm surprised you don't own a little generator for back up.

Fred, Barney, Betty and Willma there as well with Dino?

Arrrgh!

"-). Not that weird ... coconuts, rice, and stuff.

Well the Southside of Chicago
Is the baddest part of town
And if you go down there
You better just beware
Of a man named Leroy Brown

Now Leroy more than trouble
You see he stand 'bout six foot four
All the downtown ladies call him "Treetop Lover"
All the men just call him "Sir"

And it's bad, bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damned town
Badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog

Now Leroy he a gambler
And he like his fancy clothes
And he like to wave his diamond rings
In front of everybody's nose
He got a custom Continental
He got an Eldorado too
He got a 32 gun in his pocket for fun
He got a razor in his shoe

And it's bad, bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damned town
Badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog

Now Friday 'bout a week ago
Leroy shootin' dice
And at the edge of the bar
Sat a girl named Doris
And oo that girl looked nice
Well he cast his eyes upon her
And the trouble soon began
'Cause Leroy Brown learned a lesson
'Bout messin' with the wife of a jealous man

And it's bad, bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damned town
Badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog

Well the two men took to fighting
And when they pulled them off the floor
Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle
With a couple of pieces gone
