Whew! Good to smell this clean air, even with Banj's slightly ripe breath and Spaw wavin' that damned possum around by the string. I just got back from the campfire, but the mosquitos were gettin' ferocious: a bunch of 'em had picked up Obi Wan Kinoffer and carried him right across the fire before he woke up and shook 'em off. He came back to earth off in the dark somewhere on top of some couple who'd "gone for a walk." Tlhey started screaming at him in Celtic. When he came back, he pulled out a goddamned cell phone and called the mosquito abatement hotline and they drove in upwind of the fire and started pumping some kind of poison our way. Anyway, that's when I decided to leave, so I came here for my health. Gimme another one of them Baba Braus, Leej--I need to breathe in some of them hops for a while 'til the insecticide stench is gone.

If you go to American city,
You will find it awfully pretty,
Just one thing of which you must beware:
Don't drink the water, and don't breathe the air.

Hey, anybody here play steel drums? I'd like to hear some calypso. Banjo doesn't really sound too bad, so long as we got three or four guitars...and PJ, dya think you can make that bodhran sound like bongos? Okay, here we go, ONEtwoTHREEfour---sixSEVENeight, "Haiti, cherie, means Haiti is my beloved land..."

Dave, if I have another of these Baba Braus, I could even tolerate your pipes playing calypso...aw, maybe not.
