Interesting.......Kinda' reminds me that George Carlin is now praying not to "God" but to Joe Pesci. Says the results are about the same................Keep me posted on the frog huh?

Hey Ebbie.....The Carolina Chocolate Drops are really getting around lately!

Or, if you stick with your bullfrog for three months or so, and then move on to some other oracle or other...

One compelling frog for a season...

I'm happy to report that I have accepted Moses, the bullfrog who lives in my farm pond (We call him Moses 'cause he lives in the bullrushes.) as my personal savior. I guess I should also post this information on the "Have you changed your religious views?" thread, and maybe start a new thread called "One compelling reason for a frog?"

Ebbie I would love to be there! It is probably less dusty than our festival - I have come home with something resembling sinusitis from the dust and straw. Doesn't bode well for the choir gig tomorrow night.

Cheers

Well, the Alaska Folk Festival is on right now and that's alway fun and happy. It began last night and will continue through this coming Sunday. (You can listen live on http://www.ktoo.org/ 7:00 - 11:00 PM, ADT). Saturday and Sunday will be filled with workshops plus the concerts go until 5:00, and then begin again at 7:00. The Carolina Chocolate Drops are the Guest Artists this year- they will do a concert on Thursday night and again on Sunday night, plus numerous workshops on the weekend.

It's always a happy time, with music popping up spontaneously all over the place. This noon someone called me and I went down to a local art shop where a bunch of us played until 4:00.

Yo!... Spaw's got priorities... and ...danged if I don't concur...

Ya see... I cut-n-pasted without any editing... and if I had looked it over carefully... I would definitely have omited the ax murderers... ESPECIALLY the happy ones.

The last thing we need on this *certified* 'happy thread' is a bunch of happy ax murderers glancing at us real 'special like'... with perfectly docile and demure digestion.

Heck... compared with them... Spaw...the ol' fart... seems kina nice!

We just saw the first grand-niece on my wife's side. Our little flower girl is a mommy. The little one is (surprise, how unusual) gorgeous.

Funny you should say that, Spaw. I've just come back from our National Folk Festival, where there are singing sessions in a concrete stairwell every night - quite a small restricted space, and not the most comfortable, but the acoustics are good.

A guy had just sung a couple of short parodies of our favourite sea shanties, introducing them as "Faux Pas" and was just settling down on the step again, when in the silence he did a very audible rumbling FART. Talk about faux pas - you never saw a guy move so fast to get away from us! Dunno how much satisfaction it gave him, but it sure gave us a good laugh - once we felt it was safe to take a breath!

I think that a good fart needs to go in there around 4 or 5 or 6. I mean the mail is mainly bills or trash and those special glances might be from an ax murderer! I'd go with the fart any day......

I have some very satisfying gas at the moment and I can clear a room in seconds. Additionally, the decibel level and length of poot is impressive.

Makes me happier than a dog shittin' green!

Far too much bad shit going on out there at the moment, a brother dying, + my new found brother dead, parents passing away, stalled marriage, cancer, Scrump out of the game for a while, Iraq, Iran!
Please use this thread to report happy things, there must be a balance.
