Mr. McKenna--A promise is a promise the world over! Ya better listen to T., Michelle and me. I wish you had an old man's brain so you don't keep drinkin yourself into the unknown........way into the unknown!! Enuff said here! ;-/

Michelle and T. What are we gonna do about this young man who takes so many luni risks when drinking? Gaaaaahhhh!!

Slans--It's your turn to admonish Al. I still think he could be your nephew! So what you say has much weight.

Wal-Mart Greeter Job

As my retirement investments have taken such a beating this last year, I thought I should look for some supplemental income.

So, I got a job as a Wal-Mart greeter -- a good find for many retirees ? however, I lasted less than a day ...

About two hours into my first day a very loud, unattractive, mean-acting woman walked into the store with her two kids, yelling obscenities at them all the way through the entrance. As I had been instructed, I said pleasantly, 'Good morning and welcome to Wal-Mart. Nice children you have there. Are they twins?'

The ugly woman stopped yelling long enough to say, 'Hell no, they ain't twins. The oldest one's 9 and the other one's 7. Why the hell would you think they're twins? Are you blind or just stupid?'

So I replied, 'I'm neither blind nor stupid, ma'am, I just can't believe you got laid twice. Have a good day and thank you for shopping at Wal-Mart.'

My supervisor said I probably wasn't cut out for this line of work.

GGirl, nah nah nah. Ya got me all wrong. No way am I trying to stop Al from drinking. It's the national past time in Ireland, and I'm not getting in the way of that! I just like to remind him that he's not making friends with his liver. Then again, anyone taking anti-depressants and most other meds are doing even worse than Al's occasional weekend bender. Don't wish him an old brain. Wish him a good liver. Besides, me and Al are gonna be meeting for a good piss up one of these days. He can't stop now!

Cause we find ourselves in the same ol' mess singin' drunkin' lullabies!

and please GOD let me live long enuff to be a first-hand eye witness to the drunken piss contest :))))))))))))))))))))

OH YEAH....GOOD TIMES MAN, LOL!!

LMMFAO!!!

T, a piss up, not drunkin' piss contest. That's a whoooole other level of drunkeness, and I do believe McBB would win. Especially if there's snow!

It's RAINING...awesome! :-)

Blue_Moon - Congrats!

I need to give Hemispheres a spin soon...I haven't listened to that album nearly enough.

chelly-belly, I knew xactly what you meant and I still say it'll turn into a drunken piss contest in it's highest form....it'll be a work of art, truly :)))))) LOL!!!!

But yeah, I so gotta be there fer it...later this year and don't say no MCKENNA, u know u miss us terribly and wanna come back...there's a nice comfy bed in it somewheres fer ya, if that'll hep.....and yer buddy....

CHICKENPA 2009 HELL YEAH!!!

Be afraid Joe.....be very afraid.....mischief afoot, don't think not!!! LOL!!

Al & Chelle & Tracie--I gotta be there when you all get smashed. I'll make sure I stay outta the way of the lu! I want to live another day, week, month, year.....whatever is given afore me and see me great nieces and nephews grow up. I am the designated driver!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Winter and Spring are here at the same time--blossoms on the trees and snow on the mountains above 2,000 feet (?????kilometers). It's been freezin' at night and a high of between 4 & 5 degrees C during the day. I guess it's nice to know what season it is and not be seasonally challenged. Cali is just trying to have mild winters like its sposed to.

What's with the Troll? Sour grapes! It just goes to show that Joe's music has depth that some shallow people can't understand. Too bad!

Tostado - A few years ago on Rockline, Joe explained how he met Rubina.

I did a quick search, and according to a post of mine from 2004, Rubina was Joe's older sister's boyfriend's daughter's roommate.

I know that sounds very Spaceballs-like, but I think that actually is how they crossed paths...they probably met at a party or something like that.

Happy Valentines Day everyone.....
