Bobbie Gentry is another great countrified fembot. Her stuff is on CD and there are a couple of choice nuggets on Youtube.

If anyone is looking for other bent country music - make sure to search out out Pete Drake. A pedal-steel player who (invented?/pioneered?) the Talk Box (the Peter Frampton wa-wa-wa-wo-waaaow sound device). Really crazy stuff.

Could it be in the giant crawl-through colon that I saw at the NY State Fair a few years ago??

Flip This House was full of the stock-tip quoting shoe-shine boys (ref. technogeek's post).

New show...Flip This Investment Bank.

Put in some nice sod, a nice vinyl fence, granite counters (buyers today demand granite!), paint the place Navaho White...

Couple of trips the to the improvement store and we'll double our $700b in a year. Money for nothing. We can't lose!

Years ago, I looked at a house in Maine that was similar, but most of the stuff piled up was actually pretty valuable. A footpath through the center of each room was maintained, otherwise the place was neatly stacked with 4-5 feet of stuff. Some of the obvious gems (on the top) were antique tin toys, 1940's girlie magazines, china, books, religious carvings from some church. A detatched two car garage had a decent looking 1938 pickup truck in one bay and a crummy model A in the other bay. It was quite a site. Anywhere that stuff could be crammed, was packed full. Strangely, it was almost orderly.

We made a low ball offer on the house with the contents, it was rejected, the family came in from different corners of the world and chucked most of the stuff in a dumpster which ended up getting dumped at the local transfer station. The dump regulars still talk about the money they made off that load.

Red or white wine with squirrel?

Hilarious! Real?! Real fake-fur is about the only thing real here.

possibly a viral for Jack Links?

You often hear a loud POP when you clip into an active line with a butt set. The others on the line at the time can hear that POP too. Also don't forget to have the butt set on "listen" (rather than "listen and talk") else your heavy breathing might be heard.

Often the line/extension numbers are helpfully written alongside the block so you can clip on before calls are made.

I worked there when I was a kid - before all the McFood was stored in steam cabinets. I don't know how it works now, but when I worked there almost every AM shift some smartass would cruise in 10 min past the breakfast changeover and demand an egg mc muffin. If we didnt have any old breakfast lying around (supposed to be tossed in the bin) and it escalated into an "I wanna see your manager" issue. One manager we had would just cook the irate asshat an egg mc muffin on the(now hamburger searing temperature)grill.

You only can get half of the egg off the grill which is that hot. This is actually good because the part that sticks to the overheated grill is converted to brown rubberized protein - no longer really chewable.

We'd do the muffin part in the hamburger bun toaster. Which was more like a giant hair straightener, rather than a "toaster" per se.

Mercifully, we often kept an old Egg McMuffin or two around after changeover for just this type of visitor.

Dont forget, the customer is always right.

I'm thinking you need to reinvent cryptozoology as a religion - turn your living room ...errr... your museum into a church, ordain yourself as a "bigfoot" and stop paying taxes altogether.

Aha! a checklist to bring to the next "Communications Committee" meeting.

I doubt we even get throught the minutes from last meeting before everything is checked off.

Come for attendance, but stay for the donuts!
