I have many found memories of playing my dad's Tom Lehrer LP (the one with the white center and red flames around the edge of the jacket). I often played it at 45 RPM just to further improve the comedic nature of the songs. As a Boy Scout, I always enjoyed the irony of the "Be Prepared" song.

Lehrer was actually one of the few liberals that actually was funny.

They will answer with voices so sweet:
Okay, how about Jackson Browne?
I'm just a rolling away from yesterday, behind the wheel of a stolen Chevrolet...

That's not Swedish coffee, Cal, it's Norwegian coffee disguised as Swedish coffee (inside joke! :).

Ah yes,
The Straight Poop on Kopi Luwak CoffeeI found this doing a google search on "animal crap coffee".
"Thankfully Armeno Coffee Roasters offers it in a four ounce sampler for a mere $30."
Enjoy!

I'm strictly a tea guy -- never drink coffee -- and my normal routine is to stop at Starbucks after my daily run, so I figure at worst I'm only putting back a few of the calories I just burned. In fact, a lot of times they just give me my drink for free because I'm a regular customer and they are already making a fortune off of me. I never get the baked goods or the stuff with whipped cream in it. It's hard to walk two blocks in any direction without running into a Starbucks, and there is always a line. Their profit margin must be enormous.

Ha that's f'ng hilarious... The fact that Starbucks even appeals to the Commies shows the brilliance of this company's marketing strategy.

"...Not that I believe one doggone word those old Commies said . . . but as Tom Lehrer said, "they may have won all the battles . . . but we had all the good songs!"..."
"...And it don't even matter if you put a lotta extra words in each line...
...And it don't even have to rhyme..."Well, rhyne, actually...
Gad! I can't believe I remember the words for "The Folksong Army". Well, we know how old you are, Mom.............FRegards

Many times, upon being "inspired" by the works of other writer/reporters, I would slip into my Great Lobachevsky mode and utter under my breath, "Ah ha, Research!"
Remember the little ditty about nuclear proliferation:
"We'll try to remain serene and calm,
when Alabama gets the Bomb!"

still know ALL the words to "The Preacher and the Slave" and "I Dreamed I Saw Joe Hill Last Night". You will eat by and by
In that wonderful land above the sky.
Work and pray, live on hay.
You'll get pie in the sky when you die.

countered that he was simply making a statement of solidarity when he told District Manager Allison Marx that a fellow employee should not be fired.And in continuing said that if the employee was fired there was a bag of cement that would be put to use. //sarcasm//

Also hard to believe how many members of this board spend their money with such a liberal supporting corporation...
I don't care how much money you have....$5 for a cup of coffee is stupidity.
Plenty of idiots with money though.

And to help us continue to celebrate the new Pope, what could be better than...... The Vatican Rag!
First you get down on your knees,
Fiddle with your rosaries,
Bow your head with great respect,
And genuflect, genuflect, genuflect!
Do whatever steps you want if
You have cleared them with the Pontiff.
Everybody say his own
Kyrie eleison,
Doin' the Vatican Rag.
Get in line in that processional,
Step into that small confessional.
There the guy who's got religion'll
Tell you if your sin's original.
If it is, try playin' it safer,
Drink the wine and chew the wafer,
Two, four, six, eight,
Time to transubstantiate!
So get down upon your knees,
Fiddle with your rosaries,
Bow your head with great respect,
And genuflect, genuflect, genuflect!
Make a cross on your abdomen,
When in Rome do like a Roman;
Ave Maria,
Gee, it's good to see ya.
Gettin' ecstatic an' sorta dramatic an'
Doin' the Vatican
Rag!

I forgot to ask. Why was a district manager at a union rally? That doesn't add up.
