I was unaware up until this point that there was a German word meaning "happiness at the misfortune of others" The Word is "SCHADENFREUDE". What makes it ironic is that it is the only national language in the world to have a word for such a subject. Who else thinks there should be an American word for this?
And open windows. I know I've seen me do it!
Yep!
Later
True, it does.
LOL!
okers.
Some people just don't like the smell of sulphur....
Earworm!!

Elastica - Connection
From the album "Elastica"
Riding on any wave,
That is the luck you crave,
They don't believe it now,
Just think it's stupid,
So got anything?
Anyone could have done,
Who would've cared at all,
not you.
Another heart has made the trade,
Forget it, forget it, forget it,
I don't understand how a heart is a spade,
But somehow the vital connection is made.
Riding on anything,
Anything's good enough,
Who would've thought it of
Someone like you,
Just as they brought me round,
Now that they brought you down,
Roundabout and roundabout
Who wants a life anyway?
Another heart has made the grade,
Forget it, forget it, forget it,
I don't understand how the last card is played,
But somehow the vital connection is made.
Where have you been?Rat cheer! :^D
I was tired of my lady, we'd been together too long.
Like a worn-out recording, of a favorite song.
So while she lay there sleeping, I read the paper in bed.
And in the personals column, there was this letter I read:
"If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
If you're not into yoga, if you have half-a-brain.
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape.
I'm the lady you've looked for, write to me, and escape."
I didn't think about my lady, I know that sounds kind of mean.
But me and my old lady, had fallen into the same old dull routine.
So I wrote to the paper, took out a personal ad.
And though I'm nobody's poet, I thought it wasn't half-bad.
"Yes, I like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
I'm not much into health food, I am into champagne.
I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon, and cut through all this red tape.
At a bar called O'Malley's, where we'll plan our escape."
So I waited with high hopes, then she walked in the place.
I knew her smile in an instant, I knew the curve of her face.
It was my own lovely lady, and she said, "Oh, it's you."
And we laughed for a moment, and I said, "I never knew"..
"That you liked Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
And the feel of the ocean, and the taste of champagne.
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape.
You're the love that I've looked for, come with me, and escape."
"If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
If you're not into yoga, if you have half-a-brain.
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape.
You're the love that I've looked for, come with me, and escape."
I can't listen to Veruca Salt with anyone else around. It makes me weird. Then again, ...
The Abuse... last time i post anything irrelevant...
When you post an off-topic thread, you get some ribbing. Been there. Done that. Survived.
Is not.
How did you get the damn thing not to go down the drain?
I don't remember! I haven't played it since about 88....

Nina Gordon - Now I Can Die
He takes me everywhere he goes and he goes everywhere,
He likes to try on all my clothes but not my underwear,
And he never hates me,
Just wants to levitate me,
And now I now the secret of the world.
I'm the girl and he is the guy,
I never did it to be simple and wise,
Surprise, Surprise,
He opened up my eyes,
I understand everything and now I can die,
He gives me everything he's got and he's got everything,
He calls me on the phone a lot, he's got a special ring,
Yeah he really loves me,
Sweethearts and turtledoves me,
Now I know the meaning of the world,
I'm the girl and he is the guy,
I never did it to be simple and wise,
Surprise, Surprise,
He opened up my eyes,
I understand everything and now I can die,
I'm not trying to say that I don't wanna live,
'Cuz I do,
I've got more to take and I've got so more to give,
You know I do,
But if tomorrow my number should be called,
I won't be sad,
I won't feel bad at all,
Yeah he really loves me,
Sweethearts and turtledoves me,
Now I know the secret of the world,
I'm the girl and he's the guy,
I never did it to be simple and wise,
Surprise, Surprise,
He opened up my eyes,
I understand everything and now I can die,
Oh he gives me everything and now I can die!
You're no help.
