Friday Funnies

Hi,

The week ended with a day that actually got quite warm. We went out for lunch, and then watched the Royal Wedding on BBC Asia, live. What a hoot. Oh the hats.

The 'Summer of Love' song should have been easy. It was "Brown Eyed Girl" by Van Morrison. In keeping with a week of easy songs, here's one from '58 that should ring a bell. It's had covers, but name the original artist.
"I'm gonna raise a fuss, I'm a-gonna raise a holler, about a-workin' all summer just to try to earn a dollar. Every time I call my baby, and try to get a date, my boss says, 'No dice son, you gotta work late'. Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do, but there ain't no cure for the __ __." Hint: With the season in the song fast approaching, it could really be an anthem again. That's all you get in the clue department.

We had a rather simple day today. The morning routine with the dogs, Lisa worked on a cast acrylic print, and I played my didgeridoos. There was a snag with lunch so we went down to Doi Chaang and ate. After lunch we watched a little Stargate Atlantis and took a nap. While reading the news online we remembered the wedding in England.

When we turned on BBC Asia to check on the Royal Wedding, they were still in the early stages of the arrival of guests. It was fun checking out the outfits that the dignitaries were wearing. The President of Tonga was looking real sharp in his long, double breasted formal coat. The most fun was the hats. Everything from beautiful to 'why'd you wear that?'. There were a ton of horses involved, and some old cars that were immaculate. Pomp and circumstance aside, it was interesting. I really enjoyed the choir of men and boys. Having sung in such a choir in my youth, it brought back many memories. Some of the music was wonderful. So what if the bride and groom didn't kiss. What? They do it on the balcony of Buckingham Palace. Oh. Anyway, that's how we spent our late afternoon.

We started making a list of things we want to see, do, and acquire on our trip to Bangkok next weekend. We'll have lots of free time so it will be an adventure for sure.

Have a Wonderful WeekEnd.

Peace,
Danny

The Zen of Sarcasm

1. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me alone.

2. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and leaky tire.

3. It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it.

4. Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.

5. Always remember that you're unique. Just like everyone else.

6. Never test the depth of the water with both feet.

7. If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments.

8. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

9. If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is probably not for you.

10. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

11. If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably a wise investment.

12. If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.

13. Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.

14. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

15. A closed mouth gathers no foot.

16. Duct tape is like 'The Force'. It has a light side and a dark side, and it holds the universe together.

17. Generally speaking, you aren't learning much when your lips are moving.

18. Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

19. Never miss a good chance to shut up.
