  Welcome to the OFFICIAL Friday/Saturday Night Singles' Thread 

January 27th and 28th, 2006

 

"We're Gonna Have a Good Time Tonight...Let's Celebrate...It's All Right!"

 

   

 

 

In store for tonight:

 

I read a fascinating article in the February 2006 issue of Popular Mechanics entitled "The Flying Luxury Hotel."  Rather than a cruise ship, it functions as a cruise craft -- but the potential for this new aircraft also extends to military and commercial freighting applications.  More information can be found here.  Let me know what you think!

 

Further thoughts:

 

Would someone please buy the St. Louis Blues to end the misery?  Please?

 

What is/are your pet peeve(s)?

[pcottraux]

This is easily one of my all-time favorites. (Another movie theme). Pardon the low quality.

[tuliptree76]

That site has Dueling Banjos!!!!

[scott7278]

"Foggy Mountain Breakdown" is good, too!

[pcottraux]

LOL.

I like Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs.

('Nother useless info tidbit; they did the opening theme from "The Beverly Hillbillies.")

[Rca2000]

Can't help fro thinking of this, when I hear that song::

"Squeal like a pig, boy".

[scott7278]

Steve Martin played the banjo for this song...he is an exceptional banjo player.

It's a depressing song, but I've been wanting to hear this one lately...

http://www.pcdon.com/-Tammy_Wynette-Divorce.wav

I once heard a story about the song. The songwriter wanted to spell out L-O-V-E, but wasn't having much luck with the song. So he changed it to D-I-V-O-R-C-E.

[tuliptree76]

That is a great song!

[tuliptree76]

LOL!

[pcottraux]

Even MORE useless info:

Prince Charles is good at playing the banjo.

[tuliptree76]

And they did a good job with it. :-)

[tuliptree76]

LOL!

[pcottraux]

In fact, they also made appearances on "The Beverly HIllbillies" a few times playing themselves.

They were good musicians, but horrible actors.

I heard this song on the radio a couple of weeks ago, and I laughed soooo hard!

Songs like that are the reason guys like me have so much trouble approaching women.

[tuliptree76]

That is a lovely song.
