Thought for the day :
"Be wary of strong drink. It can make you shoot at tax collectors... and miss."

New State Slogans...
FLORIDA: If you think we can't vote, wait till you see us drive.
Male Language Patterns...
"I'm getting more exercise lately," REALLY MEANS,
"The batteries in the remote are dead."
Female Language Patterns...
I'm not upset REALLY MEANS,
Of course I'm upset, you moron!

1904 Sally Rand US, actress/fan dancer (1933 Chicago World Fair)
Sally was a smash hit at the Chicago World's Fair in 1934 and appeared at the New York's World's Fair in 1939. During her career, she made twenty one silent films. The first was Braveheart in 1925. In 1928 she appeared in Sunny side Up, a film about a group of ladies who worked in a pickle factory. Then she got her big break. She starred opposite George Raft in Bolero where she did the fan dance that made her become famous. Although her hayday was between the two World Wars, she continued preforming until she was seventy-five years old.

Dead Skunk
By
Loudon Wainwright III
Crossin’ the highway late last night
He shoulda looked left and he shoulda looked right
He didn’t see the station wagon car
The skunk got squashed and there you are!
You got yer
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin’ to high Heaven!
Take a whiff on me, that ain’t no rose!
Roll up yer window and hold yer nose
You don’t have to look and you don’t have to see
‘Cause you can feel it in your olfactory
You got yer
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin’ to high Heaven!
Yeah you got yer dead cat and you got yer dead dog
On a moonlight night you got yer dead toad frog
Got yer dead rabbit and yer dead raccoon
The blood and the guts they’re gonna make you swoon!
You got yer
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin’ to high Heaven!
C’mon stink!
You got it!
It’s dead, it’s in the middle
Dead skunk in the middle!
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin’ to high heaven!
All over the road, technicolor man!
