Thread Name: BS: Obit?: Blinkin'
Subject: RE: BS: Obit?: Blinkin'
And since many commercials use R&B music for accompaniment,
we got some vintage Aretha here:

R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Find out what it means to me
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Take care, TCB
Oh, sock it to me, sock it to me [etc.]

And for those with an interest in words, here's
the origin & meaning of "Sock it to me."

But you best be believin that when Aretha was demandin R-E-S-P-E-C-T,
she wasn't begging to be hit in the jaw...

But she was sayin "Give it to me".. And you know what she meant by 'it'..

****

So that's all folks!

Now what is really goin on with these Winkin', Blinkin', and Nod characters?

Did someone pull a fast one?

Nod your head if you think Winkin done done away with Blinkin'.

Wink if you love Winkin.

Blink if you don't.

Clap your hands if you believe in Tweety bird..

What? I got my stories all mixed up??!

Well then- you tell me how it goes.
