Today was day 2 of working out. I hit it a little harder tonight and I can tell. I am so pooped. I saw some ‘larger guy’, not necessarily big walking the whole time while I was sweating balls on the bike. He kept walking from room to room as if he was portraying himself as a bad ass or just checking what was on the tv’s. He just had that cocky appeal. I think it was the gold chains that gave it away. I went upstairs to do a last minute run on the treadmill and the sucker plops down on the treadmill right next to me. He scowered the TV guide till finally deciding on the Home & Garden channel.
Side note:
I went into work at 7:20 AM today (yes, write it down in the history books) and I think I will go back in the same time tomorrow. My boss and I are meeting with a potential new client. I’d be the shit if I land this deal.
Thursday’s are the new Friday’s again. Anyone want to go out?
People go out Shoo. You have to ask if they want to? Where have you been?
All I know, is that picture is HOT!!
Shoo, I refuse to go out with you because you stole Kirsten away from our Monday movie nights. I’m so peeved… And to work out. Sheesh!
PS- Olivia Newton-John rocks. I had the leg-warmers, the sweat band, the whole nine yards. That was an awesome time in my life! And I remember that video cuz all the fat-McNasty’s got all hot, but then they walked out of the gym hand-in-hand, suggesting, of course, that all super buff, totally hot men are gay… Any disputes?
I call it inspiration to get fit.
Well, I will be just partially hot. OK?
Shooey, you’re more than hot… You’re superfly….
So, how about Mark Prior? 3-0 0.95 ERA
Did you title this post POOP because it possibly looks like she is pooping in the picture?
Http://kylestill5.blogspot.com/
Check it. Read it. Love it. Hate it.
Well actually it was going to be a post about being tired or ‘pooped’. But all the pictures of poop were a little dis-tasteful. Hence where Olivia falls into place.
Thanks for meeting me at lunch Shooey. Definitely hit the spot…
mmmmm…THANKS FOR THE INVITE YOU TURD!!!!
How about that Mark Mulder? NL player of the week. But anyways, back in town again. Will be out tonight at the bar and next door, and i shall join you shoo for the thursday. party on

Shoot.
Ah, ya take the good, you take the bad… Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and then you have the facts of life.
Sorry. I can never remember the whole song.
You take the good, you take the bad,
you take them both and there you have
The Facts of Life, the Facts of Life.
There’s a time you got to go and show
You’re growin’ now you know about
The Facts of Life, the Facts of Life.
When the world never seems
to be livin up to your dreams
And suddenly you’re finding out
the Facts of Life are all about you, you.
It takes a lot to get ‘em right
When you’re learning the Facts of Life … Learning the Facts of Life.
Learning the Facts of Life … Learning the Facts of Life.
Learning the Facts of Life.
Wow, you’re cool Mark.
Mark, that’s awesome. Very sad, mind you, but awesome. Very much appreciated…
Where’s my Merfe Lee at today?
What can I say, Kyle? I’m a product of one of the cheesiest decades ever. Just be grateful I don’t start quoting Balki Bartokomous from Perfect Strangers. Not that I could, mind you…
ok, just one…
“Well paint me green and call me Gumby”
Thank you very little.
Hey, who knows how the cubs and the cards did last night? Who won their games? I missed them both.
Cubs lost 11-9 and Cards won 5-3
Kyle, Mark was using this new thing they call “sarcasm.” You probably didn’t recognize it because it wasn’t as funny as some other forms of sarcasm. No one likes gloating sarcastic remarks, Mark. Seriously, K. I can’t belive you didn’t pick up on that…. As a true cubs fan, you should never, ever post anything that says, “cards won, cubs lost.” Never again!
Ps- Is Olivia Newton-John’s face an “O” face, or is it an “O, I’m so constipated” face?
Yeah, Olivia Newton-John needs to quit calling me. Erin is getting pissed. Olivia keeps calling and leaving messages on my voicemail saying that she is hopelessly devoted to me, or some crap like that.
Anyway, I gotta go to a race down on Thunder Road against the Scorpions!!!
Since we are talking about Theme Songs to Sit-coms. Here is the ORIGINAL FULL theme song to Fresh Prince of Bel-Air:
Will Smith - Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air (Longer Version) Lyrics
Now this is a story, all about how
my life got flipped, turned upside-down,
And I’d like to take a minute,
So just sit right there,
I’ll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-Air
In West Philadelphia, born and raised,
On the playground is where Ii spent most of my days
Chillin out, maxin’, relaxin’ all cool,
And all shootin some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys, who were up to no good,
Started makin’ trouble in my neighborhood,
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
She said ‘You’re movin with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air!’
I begged and pleeded with day after day
But she packed my suitcase and sent me and my
She gave me a kiss
And then she gave me my ticket
I put my Walkman on and said ‘Might as well kick it!’
First class
Yo this is bad
Drinkin orange juice out of a champaine glass
Is this what the people in Bel-Air livin like?
Hmm…this might be alright
But wait I hear the prissy,
Bushwa and all that
Is this the kind of place that they just send this cool cat?
i don’t think so
I’ll see when I get there
I hope they’re prepared
for the Prince of Bel-Air!
Well I,
The plane landed and when I came out
There was a dude,looked like a cop,
standin there with my name out
I ain’t tryin to get arrested yet
I just got here
I sprang with the quickness
and like lightening dissappeared
I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said ‘Fresh’
And had dice in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was rare
But I thought ‘Nah, forget it - Yo, home to Bel-Air!’
I pulled up to a house about seven or eight,
I yelled to the cabbie ‘Yo home, smell ya later!’
I looked at my kingdom,
I was finally there!
To sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-Air!
As a Cards fan, Nattie, I found it pretty hilarious.
Well Mark, let me tell ya, it’s ain’t funny…
Merf, if you get bored, check the trailblazer for my driver’s license. It’s MIA.
Greatest theme song ever?
My vote would probably go for cheers. If that song gets played in a bar, everyone, from 60 years old to 21 years old, knows that song…
Aw, Nattie…ya gotta keeep matters in perspective-
http://www.derekpgilbert.com/Perspective.jpg
Merf, call of the search party. Found my DL in my desk. How in the name of all that is holy did it get there, I have no flippin clue. Glad though. Saves me a trip to Dirksen. Rock on!
Mark, you’re obviously way to smart for me cuz I don’t get it at all… Now I’m just confused. I’m going to go tan now though, so I’ll see if I can put it together in the tanning bed.
Here are the lyrics from the theme song on Cheers…But below are are the lyrics for the FULL song!!!!
Aired Lyrics:
Making your way in the world today takes everything you’ve got
Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot.
Wouldn’t you like to get away?
Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name,
And they’re always glad you came.
You wanna be where you can see, our troubles are all the same
You wanna be where everybody knows your name.
You wanna go where people know, people are all the same,
You wanna go where everybody knows your name.
———————————-
Actual Lyrics:
Singing the blues when the home teams lose it’s a crisis in your life
On the run ’cause all your girlfriends wanna be your wife
Wouldn’t you like to get away?
Making your way in the world today takes everything you’ve got;
Taking a break from all your worries sure would help a lot.
Wouldn’t you like to get away?
All those nights when you’ve got no lights, the check is in the mail;
And your little angel hung the cat up by it’s tail;
And your third fiancé didn’t show;
Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name,
And they’re always glad you came;
You want to be where you can see, our troubles are all the same;
You want to be where everybody knows your name.
Climbing the walls when no one calls; you’ve lost at love again.
And the more you’re down and out, the more you need a friend.
When you long to hear a kind hello.
Roll out of bed, Mr. Coffee’s dead; the morning’s looking bright;
And your shrink ran off to Europe, and didn’t even write;
And your husband wants to be a girl;
Be glad there’s one place in the world where everybody knows your name,
And they’re always glad you came;
You want to go where people know, people are all the same;
You want to go where everybody knows your name.
OUTRO
Where everybody knows your name, and they’re always glad you came;
Where everybody knows your name, and they’re always glad you came
Yeah, sarcasm, that’s neat. Don’t care.
I love the WIZARD OF OZ!!! I just love it. One of my top three movies of all time! Judy Garland’s dress that she worn in the movie sold at auction for $252,000.

To those of you who have been faithful to it in return

MS — Dorothy stoops down to Toto — speaks to him — then runs down road
to b.g. — Toto following –
DOROTHY
She isn’t coming yet, Toto. Did she hurt
you? She tried to, didn’t she? Come on –
we’ll go tell Uncle Henry and Auntie Em.
Come on, Toto.

Aunt Em!
AUNT EM
Fifty-seven, fifty-eight –
DOROTHY
Just listen to what Miss Gulch did to Toto!
She –
AUNT EM
Dorothy, please! We’re trying to count!
Fifty-eight–
DOROTHY
Oh, but Aunt Em, she hit him over the –
UNCLE HENRY
Don’t bother us now, honey — this old
incubator’s gone bad, and we’re likely to
lose a lot of our chicks.
DOROTHY
Oh — oh, the poor little things. Oh, but
Aunt Em, Miss Gulch hit Toto right over the
back with a rake just because she says he
gets in her garden and chases her nasty old
cat every day.
AUNT EM
Seventy — Dorothy, please!
DOROTHY
Oh, but he doesn’t do it every day — just
once or twice a week. And he can’t catch
her old cat, anyway. And now she says she’s
gonna get the sheriff, and –
AUNT EM
Dorothy! Dorothy! We’re busy!
DOROTHY
Oh — all right.
MCS - Aunt Em and Uncle Henry taking chicks out of incubator -
UNCLE HENRY
Poor little orphan, and her Miss Gulch
troubles. Gosh all hemlock - you know, she
ought to have somebody to play with.
AUNT EM
I know, but we all got to work out our own
problems, Henry.
UNCLE HENRY
Yes.
AUNT EM
Oh, I hope we got them in time.
UNCLE HENRY
Yes.
MLS — Zeke — Hunk and Hickory working on wagon — Hickory and Zeke

How’s she coming?
HUNK
Take it easy.

ZEKE
Okay.
HICKORY
There you are.
HUNK
Right on my finger!
ZEKE
It’s a lucky thing it wasn’t your head.
DOROTHY
Zeke, what am I going to do about Miss
Gulch? Just because Toto chases her old
cat –
ZEKE
Listen, honey, I got them hogs to get in.
HUNK
Now lookit, Dorothy, you ain’t using your
head about Miss Gulch. Think you didn’t
have any brains at all.
DOROTHY
I have so got brains.
HUNK
Well, why don’t you use them? When you come
home, don’t go by Miss Gulch’s place. Then
Toto won’t get in her garden, and you won’t
get in no trouble. See?
DOROTHY
Oh, Hunk, you just won’t listen, that’s all.
HUNK
Well, your head ain’t made of straw, you know.

HICKORY
Oh! Oh, it feels like my joints are rusted.
Listen, Dorothy, don’t let Hunk kid you
about Miss Gulch. She’s just a poor
sour-faced old maid that — she ain’t got
no heart left. You know, you should have a
little more heart yourself, and have pity
on her.
DOROTHY
Well, gee, I try and have a heart.
HICKORY
Now look, here’s something that really has
a heart. This is the best invention I ever
invented.
DOROTHY
This?
HICKORY
Sure. It’s to break up winds, so we don’t
have no more dust storms. Can you imagine
what it’ll mean to this section of the
country? I’ll show you. It works perfectly
now. Here’s the principle. You see that fan
– that sends up air currents into the sky.
These air currents — Oh, stop it!
DOROTHY
Oh!
HICKORY
Who did it? Now wait a minute.
DOROTHY
Hickory!
HICKORY
Now what happened? I’ll bet Hunk did that.

let that old Gulch heifer try and buffalo
you?
MCS — Zeke poring feed into trough — speaks –
ZEKE
She ain’t nothing to be afraid of. Have a
little courage, that’s all.
MLS — Dorothy walking along railing between pig pens –
DOROTHY
I’m not afraid of her.
MCS — Zeke picks up another bucket of feed — pours it into trough –
ZEKE

I’d do!

forward to Zeke and Dorothy — she speaks to Zeke — CAMERA TRUCKS forward
as Dorothy and Aunt Em walk to b.g. — Dorothy takes cruller — Aunt Em
runs to b.g. –
DOROTHY
Why, Zeke, — you’re just as scared as I am!
HUNK
What’s the matter — gonna let a little old
pig make a coward out of you?
HICKORY
Look at you, Zeke — you’re just as white –
AUNT EM
Here, here, what’s all this jabber-wapping
when there’s work to be done? I know three
shiftless farm hands that’ll be out of a
job before they know it!
HICKORY
Well, Dorothy was walking along the –
AUNT EM
I saw you tinkering with that contraption,
Hickory. Now, you and Hunk get back to that
wagon!
HICKORY
All right, Mrs. Gale. But some day they’re
going to erect a statue to me in this town,
and –
AUNT EM
Well, don’t start posing for it now. Here,
here — can’t work on an empty stomach.
Have some crullers.
HUNK
Gosh, Mrs. Gale.
AUNT EM
Just fried.
HICKORY
Thanks.
HUNK
Swell.
ZEKE
You see, Dorothy toppled in with the big
Duroc…
AUNT EM
It’s no place for Dorothy about a pig sty!
Now you go feed those hogs before they worry
themselves into anemia!
ZEKE
Yes’am.
DOROTHY
Auntie Em, really — you know what Miss
Gulch said she was gonna do to Toto? She
said she was gonna –
AUNT EM
Now, Dorothy, dear, stop imagining things.
You always get yourself into a fret over
nothing.
DOROTHY
No –
AUNT EM
Now, you just help us out today, and find
yourself a place where you won’t get into
any trouble.

eats it — Dorothy speaks as she walks forward — she sings — leans
against haystack — then walks over near rake — CAMERA PANS right –
DOROTHY
Do you suppose there is such a place, Toto?
There must be. It’s not a place you can
get to by a boat or a train. It’s far, far
away — behind the moon — beyond the rain –
DOROTHY
(sings)
Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high,
There’s a land that I heard of once in a
lullaby.
Somewhere, over the rainbow, skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream really
do….
CS — Toto by wheel of rake — listening to song –
DOROTHY o.s.
(sings)
…come true….
MCS — Dorothy singing — swings on wheel of rake — then walks forward
around wheel — Toto jumps up onto seat of rake — Dorothy pets him –
sits on front of rake — CAMERA PULLS back — Dorothy finishes song –
DOROTHY
(sings)
…Someday I’ll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind
me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
Away above the chimney tops,
That’s where you’ll find me.
Somewhere, over the rainbow, bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow,
Why then — oh, why can’t I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh, why can’t I?

That dog’s a menace to the community. I’m

destroyed.
DOROTHY
Destroyed? Toto? Oh, you can’t! You
mustn’t! Auntie Em! Uncle Henry! You won’t
let her, will you?
UNCLE HENRY
Of course we won’t. Will we, Em?
DOROTHY
Please, Aunt Em, Toto didn’t mean to. He
didn’t know he was doing anything wrong.
I’m the one that ought to be punished. I
let him go in her garden. You can send me
to bed without supper –
MISS GULCH
If you don’t hand over that dog, I’ll bring
a damage suit that’ll take your whole farm!
There’s a law protecting folks against dogs
that bite!
AUNT EM
How would it be if she keeps him tied up?
He’s really gentle — with gentle people,
that is.
MISS GULCH
Well, that’s for the Sheriff to decide.
Here’s his order allowing me to take him.
Unless you want to go against the law.
UNCLE HENRY
Uhh — yeah –
AUNT EM
Now, we can’t go against the law, Dorothy.
I’m afraid poor Toto will have to go.
MISS GULCH
Now you’re seeing reason.
DOROTHY
No –
MISS GULCH
Here’s what I’m taking him in — so he can’t
attack me again.
DOROTHY
Oh, no, no! I won’t let you take him! You
go away, you….! Oooh, I’ll bite you myself!
AUNT EM
Dorothy!
DOROTHY
You wicked old witch! Uncle Henry, Auntie
Em, don’t let ‘em take Toto! Don’t let her
take him — please!
MISS GULCH
Here! I’ve got an order! Let me have…
DOROTHY
Stop her!

No — that’s true. The only person who might
know would be the great and wonderful Wizard
of Oz himself!
DOROTHY
The Wizard of Oz? Is he good or is he
wicked?

Oh, very good, but very mysterious. He
lives in the Emerald City, and that’s a
long journey from here. Did you bring your
broomstick with you?
DOROTHY
No, I’m afraid I didn’t.
GLINDA
Well, then, you’ll have to walk. The
Munchkins will see you safely to the border
of Munchkinland. And remember, never let
those ruby slippers off your feet for a
moment, or you will be at the mercy of the
Wicked Witch of the West.

It’s always best to start at the beginning

Road.

While my thoughts were busy hatchin’
If I only had a brain.
I’d unravel every riddle
For any individ’le
In trouble or in pain.

My head all full of stuffin’
My heart all full of pain.
I would dance and be merry…
