A local radio station is already playing Christmas music exclusively. I have been singing Christmas songs for a week now.

Depends on how you look at the line,

“Might be gettin ready for ...the back seat”

My take is, the front seat action (head down, get rhythm, stop your stalling and your bitchin) was de riguer,, but the former had not yet happened.

Depends on what the line really is.

“Make your move, ignite me
And get ready for the Big C”

The song is about fellatio.

Actually, we’re both incorrect, though the published lyric

(And get a-ready for the big scene)

Favors my interpretation as the front seat action as a prelude....

But isn’t that how it always works? Lol.

Liberalism’s deleterious:
A fact that is hardly mysterious.
To see its “Native Son”
Simply look at The One
Who’s reading from TOTUS - there he is...

Just cause it’s on the internet doesn’t mean it’s official. LOL

Never been any question in my mind that it was “big c.”

Apologies for the O/T Hockey intrusion into WFTD:

- Darcy Regier & Ron Rolston have been FIRED from their respective positions with the Buffalo Sabres.
- Former star Pat Lafontaine has been hired as President of Hockey Operations; search for new GM to be conducted.
- Ted Nolan returns to Buffalo as Head Coach of the team.
- The Sabres win their 1st game of the Season at home last night (#20); many attribute this to team announcer Rick Jeanneret needing to broadcast from ice level-

First freeze of the season last night-it was 31 on the deck this morning at 6:00-I saw no frost when hiking, even way up the hill in the woods...

Even as the statistics show
A failure truly epic in scope
Obama’s minions run to fix it
With a ladder and more rope...

It is as if they don’t see
Obamacare as deleterious-
For those who are cancelled
The matter is quite serious

Everyone had been promised
What they like, they keep-
Now they’re told one size
Is fine for a bunch of sheep...

Yeah, I’m baaaaad....

Baa indeed. Bah humbug works too. Obamacare is universally hated.

In discussion at the station, it was pointed out that too many who had insurance they liked found themselves without insurance and now they have inferior insurance for lots more money and higher deductibles. AND, the local riff raff still use medicare that WE pay for. So the only ones screwed are law abiding, tax paying citizens....not the takers.

Okay, you guys-now I’m being tempted to start going through CDs, and it is too early in the work day for that...

I like just about anything by Foreigner.

There was a spoof of the Madonna Virgin song, but I don’t remember who did it...

Clearly, something needed to happen. Last time I looked y’all had 2 wins.

It also appears the Capitals are only one point behind the Penguins now.

Isn’t that a strange turn of events? Yinz play Flyers tonight. Think they eked out a win last night, Giroux scored his first goal the other day. They have been pretty abysmal too. One wonders how their GM has survived this long.

Medicare is the insurance scam that all workers pay for every month, even after 65, forced since-I think-the early 70’s? with no choice in the matter, whether you use it after 65 or not, but at least we get a bill-that is “medicaid” that the leeches use, and taxpayers are screwed twice-we pay for our insurance, and we pay for the deadbeats with our tax dollars, and in that case we never see how much or where it goes...

Never been any doubt in mine that it was,

Back seat.

I turned on the TV and Fox news-and just saw Trey Gowdy reaming Todd Park in the hearings-now I can get back to my bids and listen to some music with a smile...
