It does sound like "coconuts"..But could just be coz the song is an old one...not sure of the name but went some like "put the lime in the coconut, drink it all up" or somthin close to that..

[Sunshine Sister]

I thought it was pretty good too. A coworker bought some by mistake and gave it to me. I don't do much pop, but it was good!

[CSM]

Believe it or not, I've never set foot in a Walmart. Not for any particular reason tho'.

[Just another Joe]

Too naughty? I don't get it...the post said "ed".

That means edited or editor.
It was too naughty to put into a public list.

[ReeWalker]

Never been to "Wally World"????

[colorcountry]

Oh duh....maybe I've already had too much to drink, ya better cut me off! just kidding....

[CSM]

Nope. I just hate shopping at all so I either buy on-line or buy at a local drug or party store. I get a lot of Schwans delivered!

[Just another Joe]

That's what my friend tells me.

Ahem, let me pontificate. I spent 5 1/2 years in Southeast Asia.

Yes, that's what those Asian rattan swings with the hole in the middle are for. It's not to let the water drain out, it's not to let the snakes fall out, it's not so you can slip it over your little brother's head and watch him squirm, that IS what it's for.

Pontification done.

[colorcountry]

It's put the lime in the coke, you nut!

[Just another Joe]

maybe I've already had too much to drink, ya better cut me off!

Oh here, have another. You're among friends.

[Gabz]

My husband has recently gotten into cigars after walking away from the cigarettes.

OMG - that's impossible - nobody can just walk away from cigarettes without the help of pharmaceutical durgs.....

What drek.

[MamaTexan]

"put the lime in the coconut, drink it all up"

Thanks! Now that song is just gonna drive me CRAZY!

ROFL!

May I have a Bourbon & Coke, sir?

[Gabz]

Well, you can't drink all day if you don't start early in the morning...;)

Notice I did not mention what time I started having those "couple" of beers...............

[Gabz]

OH BOY - are we gonna start havin' some fun or what?????????

Here we go. A true story of true persistence we can all emulate.

S Korean fails driving test 271 times

After five years and 271 attempts to pass the theoretical part of his driving test, it was 272nd time lucky for South Korean Seo Sang-moon.

Despite all his hard work Mr Seo is still not able to drive. Next he needs to pass the test's practical section.

"Driving seems a bit hard. But after trying 271 times to pass... what do I have to be afraid of?" he said.

The 69-year-old repairman said he was hampered by illiteracy, which meant he could not read a driving manual.

Mr Seo told the South Korean newspaper Chosun Ilbo: "Being a repairman travelling around North Gyeongsang and Gangwon provinces, the drivers license was a necessity, but I did not dare apply for the written examination because I am illiterate."

"Only after 2000, with the introduction of the oral exam, was I able to apply," he said.

Mr Seo took the test as often as he could, paying more than 1m won ($1,000) in application fees.

Each time he learned a little bit more, until finally, earlier this week, he passed.

Officials at the test centre were just as happy as Mr Seo.

"He has been coming here for more than five years and we regard him almost as being one of the family," an official from the exam office told Reuters.

Mr Seo said he was already preparing for his road test at a driving school in Yeongju City.

"I am confident," he told the Chosun Ilbo. "I'm already discussing with my wife which car we should buy."

Heh heh. You betcha. I could use some chucks today, so I think I'd better have another Corona, since you're buying! :)

[Just another Joe]

The waitress will be right over with it.

[Gabz]

(I GOTTA figure out this pic hosting thing, geesh!)

Check with your ISP - they probably have space for you and will help you witht he programming to put them up.

[exnavychick]

Good idea...I'll do that. Thanks. I never even thought to ask them...duh on me.

[Just another Joe]

Well, if you're gonna get two at a time you better put one in a cozy.
