Subject: RE: BS: Your BLUES NAME ... From: WyoWoman Date: 18 Nov 00 - 01:26 PM Come to think of it, these are all excellent names for Ben & Jerry's new flavors as well. and Campfire, since when was being a nymphomaniac considered a disability? Especially on the Mudcat -- Catspaw always said it was a great asset. I was it that I HAD a great asset ... Or maybe that he WAS a great big ass...
nivver mindAnd yes, I think the World Blues Court would grant a special dispensation for U.K./Canadian Bluesies to use their P.M.'s names. The president of the pub darts team? ... I'm not absolutely certain. I guess we have to throw that one back on the World Blues Court for an opinion. B.B.? Robert? Etta? Bueller? WW |
