Charley, my only problem with puns is that I always feel a need to retaliate. Most folks in this setting will do likewise. Someone will then throw peanuts[1] and the puns will cease for a while.

Curmudgeon mentioned 'afterbitters'. A lot of these are whiney modern songs, but there are a few older songs, traditional or not. "All the good times are past and gone," and "Where, oh where, are you tonight? Why did you leave me here all alone? I've searched the world over[2] and I thought I found true love. You met another, and PFFFTHT you was gone." Good ol' afterbitters.

I'm not entirely sure I'm gonna be there. I skipped the session last night in the hopes of saving the voice for today, but I have a cold or cold-like disease which is taking an extraordinary amount of time to get rolling and is just plain weird. I'll try to come for a bit, though.


[1]Throwing peanuts was, and may still be done on the internet in a Callahan's Crosstime Saloon newsgroup by typing "8888..."

[2]World-searching can be done by ship, so there's our 'sea music' connection!
