	Welcome to the Canteen Music Dedication. Each week we bring our troops, their families, and friends a variety of music. We appreciate any and all feedback. If you have any music requests, please FReepmail, email, or post on the thread any requests. We will try to acommodate as many as possible. We hope you like the new layout of the Canteen Music Dedication. We try to provide a variety of songs for everyone to listen to. If you aren't sure about an artist, please avoid clicking the album cover. We try to give you as many musical choices as possible. There are some songs that are highly offensive. If you choose to click on them and are offended, please keep in mind that we have already warned you. So? Please choose carefully. Thank You!   CURRENT MUSIC  (Includes Rap, Alternative, and Radio Playlist songs!)   MUSIC "DID YOU KNOW" *Nelly Furtado spent 8 summers working as a chamber maid. *Nick Cannon has a show on Nickelodeon *Ludacris was a DJ in Atlanta.   MUSIC "DID YOU KNOW" *Kelis dated P.Diddy after his break-up with J-Lo *White Stripes were named after the red and white stripes in the peppermint candy motif. *Young Gunz record for Jay Z's label.   MUSIC "DID YOU KNOW" *Sean Paul played water polo for the Jamaican national team. *Before she was a superstar, Christina Aguilera was a military brat. *Pink's brother is currently serving in Iraq.       ALL ABOUT COUNTRY MUSIC       BETH'S MUSIC MIX (music selection)   Just A Thought As much as I'd like to believe that I'm as hip as Beth and MoJo, I'm not. So? If you look over the Current Music (MoJo's section) and Beth's Music Mix and you find that this isn't your style of music, please go to the music below. The kids don't want to offend anyone and begged me to tell all of you. So? For the sake of your eardrums and mine, please don't complain if you listen to music that is not intended for the "distinguished" members of our society. That would be all of you in my generation. (MoJo and Beth would consider us "old", but we all know better.)---DJ Ma   MUSIC "DID YOU KNOW" *Axl Rose, Guns N Roses lead, used to teach Sunday School. *Brad Nowell, late lead singer of Sublime, formed his first band at the age of 13. The name of the band? Hogan's Heroes.   MUSIC "DID YOU KNOW" *Steven Tyler, lead singer of Aerosmith, met Joe Perry at an ice cream parlor called The Anchorage. The rest is history. *The band decided on the name Aerosmith because it was the only name they didn't hate. *In 1988, Steven Tyler hurt himself while performing in Anchorage, Alaska. (Hello Ma!) *Steven Tyler is the father of actress Liv Tyler. Check back next week for a full list from DJ Beth.       MUSIC MIX (contains a variety of music)   Thank you for joining us today.

Good morning, Tonk! Good morning, Canteen Crew! Good morning, EVERYBODY!

Today's FEEBLE attempt at humor:

My son had just turned 15 when I finally decided to talk to him
about sex. To ensure private time, I brought him on a ski trip
and began our talk on the chair lift so he couldn't escape.

"Do you know about girls and babies?" I asked.
He nodded but cut me off.

The next ride up the ski lift, I brought it up again, only to
have him look away in silence.

On the third lift, already knowing I had waited too long, I
bluntly asked, "Son, would you like to talk about sex?"

"Damn, Dad," he responded, "is that all you ever think about?"

I STILL wanna do something profound & meaningful to help the Cubbies to the World Series!

I guess ya didn't like my first draft of "pancakes, sauerkraut, & blueberries".

Hows about you give up waffles, burkas, and insanity?

I need waffles to keep up my "manly" good looks, plus, if I don't eat, I could injure my health.

I have a closet full of burkas.....

Plus my more "formal" ones.....

Besides, that's all I wear!  I don't think anyone wants to see me nakid body runnin' around in the Canteen

As far as the insanity, there ain't enough gold in Fort Knox, or Radix' banks to pay for the required therapy & meds, to rid me of my "voices".

So, what else is there that will make a meaningful & profound statement to help the Cubbies to the World Series?  Any OTHER suggestions?

[Valin]

I'm off to breakfast....PANCAKES!!! Even though it's not Wednesday!

Bold and reckless...sure, but that's just the kind of guy I am, living life on the edge.

[minor49er]

Good Morning everyone!!! Good Morning troops!!! I am really,really sorry that I did not manage to get online yesterday. I was extremely busy. I will be posting 2 humor attempts today to make up for my absense.

Two neighbors had been fighting each other for nigh on four decades. Bob buys a Great Dane and teaches it to use the bathroom in Bill's yard. For one whole year Bill ignores the dog.

So Bob then buys a cow and teaches it to use the bathroom in Bill's yard. After about a year and a half of Bob's cow crapping in Bill's yard; being ignored all the while, a semi pulls up in front of Bill's house.

Bob runs over and demands to know what's in the 18-wheeler.

'My new pet elephant,' Bill replies solemly.




A butcher is leaning on the counter toward the close of day when a dog with a basket in its jaws comes pushing through the door.

"An' wot's this then?" he asked. The dog knocks the basket sharply into the butcher's shins.

"You dumb dog." As he reaches down to smack the dog, he notices a note and a ten dollar bill in the basket.

The scribble on the note asks for three pounds of his best mince [ground beef]. The butcher figures this is too easy. He goes to the window and reaches for the dried up stuff that's been sitting out all day.

The dog growls at him. The butcher turns around and, glaring at the pup, gets the best mince from the fridge. Weighing out about 2 1/2 pounds, he drops in on the scale with his thumb.

"Hmmmmm, a bit shy. Who'll know?"

Again, the dog growls menacingly. "Alright, alright," as he throws on a generous half pound. He wraps it out, drops it in the basket, and drops in change from a five. The dog threatens to chew him off at the ankles. Another five goes in the basket.

The butcher is quite impressed and decides to follow the piddy pup home. The dog quickly enters a high-rise buildings, pushes the lift button, enters the lift, and then pushes the button for the 12th floor. The dog walks down the corridor and smartly bangs the basket on the door. The door opens, and the dog's owner screams at the dog.

"Hey, what are you doing? That's a really smart dog you've got there," comments the butcher.

"He's a stupid dog--that's the third time this week he's forgotten his key.
