Subject: Getaway Floozies Wanted... From: Bobert Date: 21 Sep 09 - 08:34 AM Okay, I just read that this year the poor ol' hillbilly bluesman is going to have some very serious time slot competition with the Sandy Paton/Kenadll/God workshop going on at the same time... So here's the deal... At the Saturday night concert BobertBluesBand and the Floozies are going to have to pack it into just one song... Now seein' as Leadfingers ain't gonna be here that means Amos and me on geetars and EJ on harmonica and the Floozies on peacock feathers... Ya'll know the drill... Okay, KT may need a 30 second crash course but that's the way I see it happening and as it is so well written right there in yer grandma's Bible: "No Floozies and the Getaway Sucks" 'er somethin' like that... I donno... I ain't excactly got my grandma's Bible right here before me but it's real close to that... So, Floozies... Come prepared... Ya' hear??? Bobert |

Subject: RE: Getaway Floozies Wanted... From: Amos Date: 21 Sep 09 - 09:16 AM Wait--I wanted to go to Sandy Paton's thing with Kendall!! Dang!! HArdly seems right they should be at the same time! Well, okay, then, I second the motion for floozies. I always did say if you can't have Kendall, get several floozies!!! A |

Subject: RE: Getaway Floozies Wanted... From: jacqui.c Date: 21 Sep 09 - 11:02 AM Big bottomed Floozie reporting for duty for Saturday evening sir! I noticed the problem with the programming Bobert - you don't have much luck, do you. Utah's memorial last year and Sandy's this year! I was a bit disappointed to think that I couldn't be in on the repeat of last year but Saturday night will do just fine. You'll have to get this timed right as I will be preoccupied with the Mummers Play during the first half of the concert, as may one or two other of the floozies, if I can talk them into performing. |

Subject: RE: Getaway Floozies Wanted... From: Severn Date: 21 Sep 09 - 12:33 PM Or else Amos can recruit his own set of back-up ladies and bill them as the "Jessup-bels". Too bad there's no Bawdy Songs workshop, or we could call them "The Tourettes" (".....Live from the SinDrome"?). I'm sure they'd garner some good reviews from Women Swear Daily ("Five and a half f**kin' stars!") and other fashionable publications....... Any objections from the Purist-types, and I'm sure you could tell them that "Boop! Boop!" and "Shoop! Shoop!" are Gaelic for something or another, that these moraly upstanding fine-feathered fair-yet-fowl maidens have as yet never been plucked, and that there are, indeed and in word, Methodists to our madness. So go ahead and put these would-be "Icon Tinas" on revue! |

Subject: RE: Getaway Floozies Wanted... From: SINSULL Date: 21 Sep 09 - 09:11 PM Please don't tempt fate, Bobert. I have an assortment of inflatable costumes, none X-rated. Any takers? |

Subject: RE: Getaway Floozies Wanted... From: Genie Date: 21 Sep 09 - 09:36 PM Wow, Severn, you're back in fine form! (I.e., your form should get you fined for exceeding the pun limit.) Really sorry I can't flooze it up with the other big-bottomed gals this year. Aside from the $ thing, it looks like I may be about to follow Deckman's lead and do that there hip-replacement thing. In any event, until I get the leg pain thing under control, cross-country flying is something I prefer to postpone. ('Course I guess the cane I use sporadically [when the sporadic pain really acts up] could be used as a stage prop à la Fred Astaire or Judy Garland. But then, Fred never did dress in feathers and a floozy frock, far as I know.) Next year, Bobert, we gots ta get that blues band scheduled at a less competitive time. Meanwhile I hope you can get a flock o' floozies to flounce around onstage with you and Amos and LEJ et al. |

Subject: RE: Getaway Floozies Wanted... From: Janie Date: 21 Sep 09 - 10:21 PM Weellll, Bobear, I'll have to wait and see. The big bottom is always with me, but the floozie ain't always:>) Besides, even I have limits for the number of times I'll make a fool of myself at a Saturday Night Concert, and the year of the inflatibles may have taken care of the quota for the next decade! |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway Floozies Wanted... From: Amos Date: 21 Sep 09 - 11:05 PM Genie: Sorry to hear about your tribulations, and we'll seriously be missing your laptop this year if you don't appear!!! A |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway Floozies Wanted... From: jacqui.c Date: 22 Sep 09 - 12:52 PM We'll leave the inflatables home this time. Feathers and big bottoms should do the trick nicely, I think. |

Subject: RE: Getaway Floozies Wanted... From: VirginiaTam Date: 22 Sep 09 - 02:35 PM What do the floozies do? Need to know for future. I plan to attend someday. When is Getaway again? Isn't My Guru Always Said going to be there? Wonder if she wants to borry my Saloon Gal dress. I could bring it to Good Intent Birthday bash this weekend and Essex Girl can take back to London for her to collect. Think I'll pm her. |

Subject: RE: Getaway Floozies Wanted... From: maeve Date: 22 Sep 09 - 02:37 PM VTam- MGAS is already over here. Nice thought, though! I hope you can make it to the Getaway soon, just as I hope to do. maeve |

Subject: RE: Getaway Floozies Wanted... From: Genie Date: 22 Sep 09 - 02:40 PM Yeah, Amos, it's a shame my laptop won't be there. Since my hard drive, I've replaced it with a 500 GB one, so I'd have plenty of space to capture many hours of Getaway video. Let's hope I can make it next year. |

Subject: RE: Getaway Floozies Wanted... From: Amos Date: 22 Sep 09 - 02:53 PM VT: THe floozies, traditionally (well, it happened one time) parade around the blues hall waving peacock feathers and shakin' they moneymakuhs. So to speak. They seem to enjoy doing it a great deal. For documentation on this now-traditional role and its colorful place in a Bobert Blues Jam, see the video linked by Genie in the 2008 Getaway threads. A |

Subject: Getaway Floozies wanted for Bobert's Blues Band From: Genie Date: 22 Sep 09 - 05:42 PM VirginiaTam, Check out these videos from last year to get a rough idea o' "Flooziness" at the Bobert's Blues Band bash. This year, I guess ya gots to shake yo' bootay an' flounce aroun' onstage. (But, hey, maybe people will throw quarters?) Bobert's Blues Band 4 This one highlights the floozies. Other BBB videos from last year: Bobert's Blues Band 1 Bobert's Blues Band 2 Bobert's Blues Band 3 |

Subject: RE: Getaway Floozies Wanted... From: Genie Date: 22 Sep 09 - 05:43 PM Yeah, Leadfingers, wunner who that bloke coulda been. ; D (Actually I think the bloke was sitting there first. I just couldn't find a better place for the camera.) |

Here I take my boney blues-butt off fir the day and expect to come home and find 'bout half a dozen full figured floozies ready to shake their money-makers and all I get is, well, a bunch of lame excuses... You know... No money... Bad hip (didn't look so bad last year, Genie), gull stones, famine and pestulants... Well, I ain't takin' no fir an answer... (What you gonna do, Boberdz??? Hold yer friggin' breath until you turn blue???) Yeah, that's exactly what I'm gonna do!!! Danged bunch of finicky womenz... No wondwer I'z a danged bluesman... &$*&%&*^%*T&$Gg.... Grrrrrrr!!! B~ |

Subject: RE: Getaway Floozies Wanted... From: ClaireBear Date: 23 Sep 09 - 12:30 PM I saw the perfect floozie dress in the thrift store yesterday, but I couldn't quite bring myself to buy it. I don't expect Bobert would want me in the floozies anyway, what with whiplash making me damaged goods ... purty fussy for a bluesman, if you ask me. |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway Floozies Wanted... From: jacqui.c Date: 23 Sep 09 - 12:36 PM So long as you can move your bottom that would probably qualify you for this carnival. CB - Whiplash! When and how? |

Subject: RE: Getaway Floozies Wanted... From: ClaireBear Date: 23 Sep 09 - 12:40 PM Just a minor accident a couple of months ago. No worries. The rear end of my bright red Mini Cooper seems to be a magnet for young men who like to drive too fast and don't always slow down whan they should. I'm not badly hurt, just have to yelp every once in a while when I turn my head wrong. No big deal. |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway Floozies Wanted... From: Leadfingers Date: 23 Sep 09 - 01:17 PM I know all about 'Babe Magnet' cars , didnt realise you drove a 'Stud Magnet' Claire ! |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway Floozies Wanted... From: ClaireBear Date: 23 Sep 09 - 01:26 PM Yeah...if only I could get the young men to focus on MY rear end instead of the Mini's, I would appreciate the phenomenon a whole lot more. (I didn't really just say that, did I?) |

Subject: RE: Getaway Floozies Wanted... From: Amos Date: 23 Sep 09 - 01:31 PM Well, try painting it bright red, Claire!! A |

Subject: RE: Getaway Floozies Wanted... From: Susan A-R Date: 23 Sep 09 - 01:37 PM Now Bobert, don't go down to the railroad tracks or nuthin' I'm sure some of those nice ladies will come through for you. Be careful, you may get what you ask for. |

Subject: RE: Getaway Floozies Wanted... From: Genie Date: 23 Sep 09 - 04:09 PM ClaireBear, I think you've got the flooze factor goin' on big time. An' you don't gots to shake your head whilst floozin' it up, jes' the other end. (As for that being rear-ended in your car thing, been there, done that - twice - in the past 6 years. It does tend to make you want a hot tub, chiropractor or at least some WD-40 for a while. Hope you snap out of it (no pun intended) before the Getaway.) And, Janie, neither FSGW nor Mudcat has any rules restricting how often you're allowed to make a fool of yourself (at Getaway or elsewhere). If the Mummers can prance around with cutaway plastic milk jugs on their heads, etc., where's the harm in bouncin' about with a feather boa while Bobert an' the boys wail away on their geetars an' harmonicas? I think any flock o' floozies worth the name needs to have at least one blonde! |

Subject: RE: Getaway Floozies Wanted... From: Bobert Date: 23 Sep 09 - 06:53 PM Hey, when it comes to floozies, I ain't too particular... Shoot, if all ya' can do is spin yer danged wheelchair around, I'm happy... As fir fool restrictions??? If they impose them then they might as well shut the event down... Why else do folks come to these things??? The food??? B~ |

Subject: RE: Getaway Floozies Wanted... From: Tinker Date: 25 Sep 09 - 11:10 PM Claire, You've been given permission to love your inner floozie.... Of course you will not only buy said thrift shop dress, but also wear it. In it you will feel thrifty, frugal, feminine and floozed.... Clearly it's a win win proposition. |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway Floozies Wanted... From: Amos Date: 26 Sep 09 - 12:08 AM I have only one thing to say to you lot, as I contemplate this breakneck dash for unbounded folly: YEEEEEEEEEEHAAAA!. There. I've said my piece. A |

Subject: RE: Getaway Floozies Wanted... From: ClaireBear Date: 26 Sep 09 - 10:56 AM Sadly, the floozie dress was gone when I went back for it. The one I found instead is almost respectable by comparison; I might even wear it in real life. And black, not the subtle cerise of the first one. But I'll do my best in it. I have a painted shawl that might liven it up some... |
