I recently had an encounter with a sloth. It ambled into this
multi-purpose building I have called The Studio. At first I thought it
was a rat and freaked out. Then my cat came in and tried to befriend
it. It opened its ugly snout and made a disgusting hissing noise. It was
the most disgustingly inert creature I have ever dealt with as well as
the ugliest. Of all creatures, I would think it would not want to mate
face-to-face.
jes, who now understands why sloth is one of the seven deadly sins.

Sloths, as a general rule, live in the deep tropics. Are you sure it wasn't
a possum?
Negs
Great sloth story, Jes.
Reminds me, though, of a gal I dated who had a prehensile tail. I'll
never forget the time...
Dale
The time you double dated with Norm?
Hip(po) Hop Hooray,
Jim
I would love to party with you Jes, just to see what the other 5 deadly
sins are in your religion.

Well, I don't know. Is possum another of the 7 deadly sins?
jes

I don't know about that, but I inherited this strange cookbook from my
Mom...one of the recipes in it is for Possum Pie. There are also some
recipes for squirrel and one for wild hickory nuts (shades of Ewell Gibbons!)
Negs
No deadly sins at all in my religion, except one, I guess: So you harm
none, do as you will ... That doesn't mean we can't party, of course.
jes
Yes, you're right that WAS her mating call!
Dale
Eeeeeuuuuuuwwwwwwww :-)
Dale
A possum with high-heel boots and lace on? Show me.

HEY! Leave Carly alone!
Sue, waiting for Carly and James to get remarried
"It used to be her town too"

Because when they married it was a time where everything spelt r o m a n c
e, and their wedding ought to have been broadcast like any other
princess-prince wedding. The photo of Carly and James in the train window
leaving for their honeymoon is one of the prettiest I have seen.
Then after a couple of years, of course, life caught up with them as well
and the bubble burst.
But Carly and James remarrying? Hm. Probably when unicorns graze the hills.
uli
Not sure. I just thought they made a neat couple, and I like both of them
as singers.
Sue
Hey! Singers who should get married!
Tom Waits and Janis Joplin (I'll ignore the necrophilia jokes. Unless
someone has a really good one of course.)
Never mind. I can't think of any.
Dale

Tina can stay, Ike can go. Afraid I don't know Delaney and Bonnie
Bramlett. Ditto for Richard and Linda Thompson (except the names sound
familiar). Rosanne can stay too, but I could care less about Rodney.
Grace and Paul should get back together. Sonny and Cher, dump both of
them.
Sue, not really knowing what she is saying at the moment
Don't forget the Captain and Tennille. And Simon and Garfunkel.

Whooops! You may be right. I think I had Don't Be Cruel, was almost sure I
had Heartbreak Hotel, so I went for almost sure over think. But I don't

I Want You to Want Me was Cheap Trick, came out a bit later though, around
77, and wasn't actually a hit until the live version came out in 79. Hot
Rod Lincoln would be Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen, but Marty
says it was also a hit in the early 50s for Johnny Bond... Black Water was
Doobie Brothers, 75...
