Hi peacheads I tried to post this yesterday, but for some reason couldn't get through kept saying "page cannot be displayed". Lana gave out a good website for NYC tourism. Here is another good one for anyone coming from out of town for eating and drinking Murphguide.com. Can't wait to be freaking at the Beacon. Knotts

Good ole Sunday morning balls opps bells are ringing everywhere I am stuck at work, I'd rather be anywhere Happy ballated opps belated birthday to all; See what pigs men are and how easily they fixate on any opportunity to show off their truly base and disgusting (and proud of it) nature.

Stormy-"There was a bilge of cannonballs, their motto said "don't tread on me":cool: Ring any balls? ahhh bells?. Oooh Lana, "Sail Away Raymond(A Sailors life for Me)". Ringo with George Harrison, Robbie Robertson,David Bromberg,Rick Danko, and a few more. Gotta request that one. 😀 PeachNutt:cool:

Well, my gosh, an awfully prestigious day. Happy B-day to the Birdmeister, bird man of Montanatraz! A belated one to Tom Seeks (by the way, grabbed the old tape list and am now listening to 11/30/72 "Milwaukee" which obviously has Lamar on bass, so I'm guessing that may be his first show).In honor of such a unique (?) occurrence as Bird/Tom b-day, a trivia question free show....What is the name of the song actually released that was originally recorded as "The Lady Has Been Waiting"? First to post the correct answer here by midnight pacific gets DTB 11/17/01 Colgate Univ. 2 cd SB. Yowza.

and maybe last but certainly not least, as far as you know... Happy Birthday LARRIDER.... hope you celebrated with a ball-bustin ride in the wind out on LI... ...and speaking of balls... Does anyone know any History on the Organ of Balls... i mean origin... excuse me... no? well ok... easy crowd... and besides my ears are shut today... all the women are back in my house... SO... Did you know, in the mighty British Nanny .. I mean.. Navy.. at the time of Empire building, every sailing ship had cannon (the plural of cannon, antonym for metiajorn) for protection. (now we have real protection for personal cannons - sheep skin)..ena-ways.. Cannon of the times required round iron cannonballs. A ship's master wanted to store the cannonballs such that they could be available for instant use when needed, but in a manner that would not let them roll around the gun deck.(this sounds familiar) The solution devised was to stack them up in a square-based pyramid (not called Today & Tomorrow in case you Switter's fans were jumping the gun) next to the cannon. The top level of the stack had one ball, the next level down had three, the next had nine, the next had sixteen, and so on. Four levels would provide a stack of 30 cannonballs. The only real problem was how to keep the bottom level from sliding out from under the weight of the higher levels. (oily balls..) To do this, they devised a small brass plate referred to as a "brass monkey," with one rounded indentation for each cannonball in the bottom layer. Brass was used because the cannonballs wouldn't rust on the brass monkey, but would rust on an iron one. When temperature falls, brass contracts faster than iron. As it got cold on the gun decks, the indentations in the brass monkey would get smaller than the iron cannonballs they were holding. (we know how cold can make things shrink, right?) If the temperature got cold enough, the bottom layer of cannonballs would pop out of the indentations, spilling the entire pyramid over the deck. (causing premature spillage...) Thus it was, quite literally, "cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey." And so, another familiar phrase became part of the language. Now, aren't you glad you took the time to read this historical piece..? And you thought this was going to be a "dirty" balls story....! where's Paul Harvey when you really need him?

Happy Birthdays to Tony and Tom!!!EAPFP

Happy Birthday Mr.Seeks... and no stupid poems for you Tom... However, I noticed your Birthday so close to Ash Wednesday...and the start of Lent .. I thought..(better yet)... vaguely recalled that i was or had a stand-in who was an Irish Catholic who has had a great deal of challenge adhering to my religion.. it's been ONLY 25 years since my last confession... Father..Have you got a Month and a stenographer handy? Anyways...as they say in Vermont... I wonder whether you were familiar with the tale of Seamus from County Kerry in Ireland?? No...ok... Well.. An Irishman, Seamus.. moves into a tiny village in County Kerry, walks into the pub and promptly orders three beers. The bartender raises his eyebrows, but serves Seamus three beers, which he drinks quietly at a table, alone. An hour later, Seamus has finished the three beers and orders three more. This happens yet again. The next evening, he again orders and drinks three beers at a time, several times. Soon the entire town is whispering about the "Man Who Orders Three Beers". Finally, a week later, the bartender broaches the subject on behalf of the town. "I don't mean to pry, but folks around here are wondering why you always order three beers?" "'Tis odd, isn't it?" Seamus replies. "You see, I have two brothers, and one went to America, and the other to Australia. We promised each other that we would always order an extra two beers whenever we drank as a way of keeping up the family bond." The bartender and the whole town was pleased with this answer, and Soon, Seamus... the "Man Who Orders Three Beers" became a local celebrity and source of pride to the village, even to the extent that out-of-towners would come to watch him drink. Then, one day, the Seamus comes in and orders only two beers. The bartender pours them with a heavy heart. This continues for the rest of the evening: he orders only two beers. The word flies around town. Prayers are offered for the kind, lost soul of one of the brothers. The next day, the bartender says to Seamus, "Folks around here, me first of all, want to offer condolences to you for the death of your brother... You know - the two beers and all..." Seamus ponders this for a moment, then replies, "You'll be happy to hear that me two brothers are alive and well. It's just that I, meself, have decided to give up drinking for Lent." Happy Birthday Tom.. There's a big old goofy man Dancing with a big old goofy girl Ooh baby It's a big old goofy world
