Well I'll be a Honkytonk Man. While you're dancing I'll just go out and have a word with Marty Robbins. Now I'm just Singing the blues.

I know of Marty but he does not float around in my head and it's a good thing. It's probably a dangerous place in there.

OK THIS IS IT. I QUIT.

He's probably playing some other game. I'll go find him and drag him back here by his ear.

If anyone wants the lyrics without all the internet commercials, I can PM them.

Drice, Nym, you're welcome...Robbin's songs are good stories.



Nym...is it bigger than a breadbox?


I think Nym is making words up.

Eee gads. It's hopeless.

I know what it is. It's amazing. I just realized I've been trying to puzzle out this stuff without my glasses the whole namb dight.

Wow, now that I can see... oh my oh my. I've posted about 40 today. At this frenetic pace I'll be at 10000 in no time. 'cept my keyboard is all clogged up with this red stuff... and I got blisters on my fingers...

And heavens, just look at the time. Gotta go. G'nite. It's been fun.

(Well, I don't want to be left out. I didn't check the link because I know all the words to the song....But then Nym's comment made me curious and I watched the video. Please send cell phone number of the wild young cowboy.)

Back to the scramble: Is room service involved?

If there's room service, it would appear as servicio de habitación.

Love in the Time of Cholera?

or was it Memories of My Melancholy Whores that #1 inferred to? (and if so, I wasn't far off with the herpes guess)

Al, I was thinking of Love in the Time of Cholera, but Memories of My Melancholy Whores would work just as well.

Rev, which book did you order?
