If you act slightly unhinged..you get more done.

Unhinged is definitely the way to go once you're past 50, in my experience. Don't know whether you really get more done, but it's certainly more fun.

Something my spouse discovered today:

In navigating the world of girl sleepovers when your daughter is gay, you may decide to look on line for some guidance. Do not under any circumstnces google "teen lesbians" and "sleepovers" together.

Iron Maiden is going to have their own beer. I wonder if there is any other musical group that may have a natural tie-in to alcohol??

English folk big band Bellowhead have had their own beer for a while: http://www.potbelly-brewery.co.uk/site_v2/Ale.php. I got given a case of it for a birthday. In fact two cases, because the delivery people dropped the first one. Anyway, that whole folk music and real ale thing is a given.

Other bands just drink the stuff without the need for marketing.

Guns N' Roses & Night Train? Image
That shit is disgusting, drank it once and never made the same mistake again. Can't handle it, had to stick with Boone's Farm Apple Wine and Country Kwencher. Which was too low a proof to be an actual bum wine. Still it knew how to party. 8)

I got to sing back up with Iron Maiden once, via a contest. Ooooooooooooooooh oooooooooooooooh Ooooooooooooooooooh, it doesn't seem to exist on youtube although the concert was filmed and released. I don't think the singer enjoyed stupid contest winners running onstage during an oh so very serious concert. I remember going out in the muddy crowd during Guns N' Roses and being freaked out that pissy jugs were being tossed overhead.

Image
and the internet has a picture of it

There always seems to be Image and Image around at Christmas celebrations. Costco?

Also, I wouldn't go so far as to call Sean Combs a musician/singer? but his Image is pretty damn good. The blue one anyway.

Should I ever want to do my make up while I am driving, my car has a mirror hidden under a flap in the sun visor on the driver's side. :shock:

God, Boone's Farm brings back memories. Back in the day, don't know why, maybe beered out, there was a packy that use to sell Boone's Farm 3 for $5.
Good drunk and an incredible sledgehammer hangover headache the next day.

It is not a good idea to try and adjust an old cuckoo clock that has been in your family for nearly forty years at 1.30am in the morning after several glasses of wine.

It fell off the wall twice, fortunately it is intact, but now only runs on a slight diagonal sounds like it has a headache every time it strikes and the bird is not speaking to me any more as it refuses to come out when I'm in the hall. :cry:

Today I learned that my cat can access the internet by sitting on the keyboard of my computer. I shall be interested to find out what kind of sites she's been visiting.

I doubt it, as I think she finds such things demeaning for a creature of her status.

She was probably just looking at prawn.

Indeed, many kitties would probably agree with Noel Coward, who said "television is for appearing on - not for looking at".
