Open Mike Night - Everyone is Welcome

[UtahMama]

we went to Margaritas for supper.......what a great Mexican restaurant ......I had chicken chimmichunga and they make the platter so darn attractive......it is in the middle with two mounds of sour cream and one of guacomole with a little bitty tomato bit on the top of that....on one side is the refried bean and the other is the mexican rice and top and bottom of the platter is chopped lettuce with tomatoes and scallions on it......it is delicious and they put in a half pound of chicken in it......delicious....I ignored some of the rice and the beans and just concentrated on my chicken......this place reminds me of the Mexican in Epcot ...the decor and the prices I believe it has to be......hahaha

I like the whoooooooo Hoooooties .....or however it is spelled.....but I am still considered a visitor to your abode.....so I will sit back and listen to you all ..

No visitors, here....Once you pull up a stool, you're family. Now, pass the Chex Mix and make my margarita a virgin (extra salt).

Pumba that thread is now gone and besides you have been one of us for awhile and don't you for get it.

Are your roads not icy there? That all sounded yummy.

Dre how come everytime you are going to sing for us you have to go....huh?

I missed my own woooo hooooty. There will be more I am sure.

Waiting for my son to come home from his friends. I should have got a time from the mother. She asked if he could stay for dinner and she would bring him back. It is almost 7:00 and a school night. Hope they don't eat at 8:00 or something....

The other one is all bathed up for school on Monday.

Nab! Your son has to go to school on Martin Luther King Jr. Day?

OH!....ooops....I guess Canadia doesn't get that day off....ok then.

that was embarassing.

 

[NAB]

No holiday for us. Maybe we will have a snow day instead by the way they are talking about the weather. We also have a P.D day on Friday so they have that off. So it is a short week for them.

Twinkie the ticker is moving fast now. I ordered new shorts and they are too big, I would say yeah any other time but now I have to reorder them and hope they come in time.

[TwinkieMama]

How about 38 special or default

Whatever floats your boat, sweetie. Our K-bar is hot, locked and ready to rock

Another nice thing about the new digs is that we are all equally new or equally old

Yes- I did the covert wardrobe evaluation mission yesterday. The boy needs some short sleeved shirts and the girls have plenty of clothes but nothing matches!!! I buy stuff after season on sale and every store seems to have their "own" colors.. so I need to go out and get a couple of things to make actual outfits... our roads are icy (at least we have power -- lots of midwesterners are without-) so I don't know when I will be able to do so...
will you be able to re-order by next week?

but big news! just found out that some dear family friends moved their dates and will be at WDW the same time as us!!!!! They don't have any grandchildren yet so my kids are kind of honorary temporary nieces & nephews (they remember the birthdays and whatnot) so now I need to get WDW-DINE on the phone and schedule a big dinner! Whoo-hoo!

Hmm. I don't really know. I promise I will have a song for you before the night is over!

 

[drebert]

Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmy Rogers on the victrola up high
Mama's dancing with baby on her shoulder
The Sun is setting like molasses in the sky.
The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything.
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for.

CHORUS:

Black velvet and that little boy smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring you to your knees
Black velvet if you please.

Up in Memphis the music's like a heat wave
White lightning, bound to drive you wild.
Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl
"Love me tender" leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle
The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true.

Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for.

CHORUS:

Black velvet and that little boy smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring you to your knees
Black velvet if you please.

Every word of every song that he sang was for you.
In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon,

What could you do?
CHORUS:

Black velvet and that little boy smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring you to your knees
Black velvet if you please.
Black velvet and that little boy smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring you to your knees
Black velvet if you please.

...If you please
If you please

Please, don't give me a standing ovation. It would only embarrass me!

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Wooohooo, Dre, yeahhhhhhhhhhhh

How come people are iced in and cold all over the country, and Iam here in sunny Florida with the chills today I was fine this morning

Joe, could you turn the fireplace on please?

I HATE wasting a perfectly good day off being sick!!!!!!!!

 

[TwinkieMama]

Wow! Good job Dre.... I always love songs about "that dead guy"

 

[Yzma and Kronk]

W-O-W!

Nice new digs!

Great decorating job!!

I love the edit's. YAY the edit is back!!

GRAM!!!! I love to dance



And here are a few new tunes for the jukebox:

My pappy said, 'Son, you're gonna drive me t' drinkin' ...
If you don't quit drivin' that - Hot ... Rod ... Lincoln!'

And another great one:

He's free as the breeze, He's always at ease He lives in the jungle and hangs by his knees As he swings through the trees without a trapeze In his B.V.D.'s

He's got a union card and he's practicing hard
To play the guitar Gonna be a big star, yeah, he's gonna go far And carry moon beams home in a jar

He ordered Chet's Guitar course C.O.D. Makes "A" and "E" and he's working on "B" Digs "C" and "W" and "R" and "B" And me and the chimpanzee agree that one day soon he will be a celebrity

Chorus

Git it, git it, git it, git it...OW!
Gitarzan, he's a guitar man
He's all you can stand
Give him a hand, Gitarzan
Ahhh (Jungle Yell), Ahhh, Ahhh

Thanks Joe!

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Nice new bling, Twinkie!!

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Dre - Moo here applauding from my café table at Barnes and Noble. My DH has a friend over for a visit and I'm not fond of his aftershave, so I bugged out for the evening after dinner.

We went out for Mexican too, Pumba! But DH spilled his diet Pepsi onto my plate and partly in my lap, so it's best that I'm not home. Good thing I was almost done eating . . .

That Godiva cheescake improved my disposition, LOL. And I found a new book to buy with my gift card.

 

[NAB]

I am really going crazy here. Nicholas is still not home. I called and there is no answer. Did they go out to eat? She said can he stay over for dinner not I will be driving him across country for dinner is that ok. They only live 5 mins. away so it was okay for her to drive him home. It is getting colder out and stuff is going to freeze making the roads bad....

Sorry to hear you are not feeling well Marita.

Dre...great job.

Yak--got any snow there. I missed all your songs.

[Backstage_Gal]

Nab, I feel for you waiting for your son, that is the worst!!!
Hope he shows up soon.

Moo, how long are you planning on running away from home for, LOL?

 

[Backstage_Gal]

YAK, hi, welcome to the new digs!! I almost missed your post, till I saw NAB mention it.

 

[NAB]

He is finally home. She said that her phone wasn't charged ,that is why she didn't answer it. I was ready to drive over there. It is the worst not knowing where they are. I don't think I am going to survive the teenage years.

Now he just owes you another dinner Moo. What book did you get. I have to get a new one for the plan. Never flew SW before and heard they don't have tv's. Mind you the kids keep me busy so they don't get bored. Nicholas will have gameboy but I am sure I will be playing dolls with Hannah.

Pumba what was that authour again you said was good?

[Toot Sweet]

TootSweet will be handing out candy whistles to do her prim and propper version of "TOOT SWEET"

(Remember THIS???)


Don't waste your pucker on some all day sucker
And don't try a toffee or cream
If you seek perfection in sugar confection
Well there's something new on the scene
A mouth full of cheer
A sweet without peer
A musical morsel supreme!
Toot Sweets!
Toot Sweets!
The candies you whistle, the whistles you eat.
Toot Sweets!
Toot Sweets!
The eatable, tweetable treats!

(yes I googled stop yelling at me)

Why, it would be my pleasure!!! I shall sing opera style, it is most impressive!


We watched Gone with the Wind today. My, that's a long show. And DH has never seen it despite the fact that we have owned it for all 10 years of our marriage! He liked it! (Hey Mikey!)

Wish I had gone out for Mexican chow too, Pumba and Moo! Love me some tacos and cheese enchiladas!!

 

[pumba]

that eye is so darn creepy....gives me the heebie jeebies.....
Lincoln Child and Douglas Preston are the co-authors ......start with THE RELIC and then go to THE RELIQUARY.......these are awesome.....

I love the songs by QUEEN......my hubby gets so funny when I crank up the radio in the truck.......I love their singing....

another song I love to crank up and sing to in the truck is

Oh Mama, I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the law
Law man has put an end to my running and I'm so far from my home

 

[drebert]

I have to agree toots that eye is freaky dee!

 

[pumba]

you know my children are adults and both are parents .....You never stop worrying about your kids.....when my daughter n her hubby lived upstairs and they would go out ......I would listen for them to return.....their kids were old enough to sleep upstairs when bedtime was upon them.......so they would go to bed ...and I would automatically wake up at midnight and look out the window to see if their jeep was in the other driveway.......worry wart always for kids.....now they all live elsewhere and I dont worry as much...


but that song by Queen that I would drive hubby nuts with was called
Bohemiam Rapsody.....I know another song by some group that had to do with killing a man and his mama is crying.......I love that song anyways.....the orchestra and the music and the singing is fantastic......
