I kicked a boy til he cried...

Courtney-Courtney Taylor, or whatever the hell you call yourself, I'm coming for you!

I think I posted some Susan & the Surftones in the Beatles cover thread, too. They're so adorable. [hugs cd] I actually bought a disc from their organ player on ebay once, and everything else he was selling was old G.I. Joe animated series action figures. His mailing address was at the Oregon Zoo, so that must've been where his day job was. I was very amused.

He sold his old G.I. Joe toys?? Heretic!

Hey, the life of a rock musician ain't all beer 'n skittles, y'know.

Besides, maybe they didn't actually sell.

Shirley Manson: "When we rrrrrecorded the firrrst Garrrrbage albuuum, ah was living on Baby Rrrrruuuuuth barrrrs and Pepsi Coooooola."

I think one of the Bangles said that she brushed her teeth with Pepsi Light while on the road before they hit it big.

Of course, I only liked the two Bangles albums from before they handed everything over to Prince, because I'm a big damn snot that way. Oh, well...

My favorite Bangles recording is when they did backup vocals for Cyndi Lauper on "Change of Heart."

I liked the janglepop stuff best, like "Hero Takes A Fall". "Manic Monday" was OK, but I lost interest after that.

I work late on Mondays, so I don't go in to work till 11:15 a.m. Having Monday mornings off takes a lot of the "Monday" off it.

My schedule has been all over the place lately, but I will often be off on Wednesdays, which takes a lot of the sting out of the whole work week.

The job I applied for recently has long shifts that usually mean a day off in the middle of the week. Just one of many reasons that I want it bad.



My last permanent job, I had Wednesdays off, except during the busy season. The income reduction was well worth the added time I had to devote to [bleep] that I actually give a [bleep] about.

The only downside to having a day off during the week is that anything I have to do outside of work usually has to get done that day. That's a problem if I'm not feeling particularly well. But it's a fair trade-off.

The best thing about mid-week tasks is that customarily, all the other slobs you'd have to wait in line behind on a weekend are still stuck at work.

Not around here, unfortunately.

With my travel schedule lately, even weekend days off don't matter much since I'm still on the road.

Thats what I like about my work cycle, 6 days on then 6 days off. Rarely a problem getting things done.

That's pretty impressive.

I work alternating four-day and six-day work weeks: Monday through Saturday; off Sunday; Monday through Thursday; off Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I've done that for so long that I wonder what people who don't have a weekday off do. Among other things, that Friday off is the day I go to the CBS, so I always get two weeks' worth. I also always pick up some Archie comics for my mom. She loves Archie.

Not literally, but figuratively this is my pretty much my work life...

I's the b'y that builds the boat
And I's the b'y that sails her
I's the b'y that catches the fish
And brings them home to Lizer

Hip yer partner, Sally Thibault
Hip yer partner, Sally Brown
Fogo, Twillingate, Moreton's Harbour
All around the circle!

(where's Deddy when you need him?)

Bunny with a pancake on its head!

Sods and rinds to cover your flake
Cake and tea for supper
Codfish in the spring o' the year
Fried in maggoty butter.

Okay, I think I get it now -- you guys are posting sea shanties?

"Shanty" is one of those words which really sounds like it out to be something naughty... but isn't.
