I know, eoe. That was the sole target of the commercial. Showed the moving van hauling out his furniture and a big "forclosed" sign on his palatial home.

Willie Nelson and the IRS; Hammer and his slight largess. Incidentally, your cruise is coming up, I do believe that one of the Bond movies was set in Bimini.
and incidentally, Hammer was too honest to remain on top forever, I guess.
Back later, listeners.
Yes. The cruise is coming up. I'll clue you in on the Cruisin' thread.
Oh my. Sir Connery in those little white swimming trunks.
eoe, you are funny. Nobody does it better.
Back in a thrice when more items of interest, listeners.
dyslexia wrote:also, Aldous Huxley wrote Brave New World while living at the Ghost Ranch (Taos new Mexico) with Lawrence and his references to the use of "soma" was actually the common new mexico "peyote" of which Aldous and Lawrence frequently partook.
Wow, I never knew this about DH Lawrence (peyote), though I knew it about Huxley.
The entertaining thing I heard about DH Lawrence was, he was always using his acquaintances as characters in his books, not necessarily in a complimentary fashion, and he lost rather a few acquaintances this way...but he couldn't care less.
Will have to go back & read both of these authors, now that I'm not so distracted by the hormones of youth...

Listeners, have you ever seen anyone as prolific as edgar and dj? Both are a literal repository of songs with meaning. dj, I think I understand your Thursday reference in that odd, but moving song. The Christian church observes Maundy Thursday as part of the prelude to Easter.
interesting but not the clue, the middle stanza has them lined up for a free
thanksgiving dinner
the listeners from other countries might have missed it, but the u.s. contingent should have come up with the goods
Well, listeners, we always learn something new here at WA2K radio.
Even Peter Jennings may have been into that peyote this evening. He very rarely goofs, but tonight he talked about No Child Left Behand. He also reminded us of the Blue Book files which cited the sightings of UFO's. Now it seems that in North Dakota, the Xfiles are being reopened. There will be a two hour special aired tonight on ABC.
dj, you can see why I would think Maundy Thursday.

Mystery song for everyone. Please don't look it up.
Cow Cow Boogie.
and one more burning question. Is McGentrix a female?
cow cow boogie in the strangest way
coma ti yi yippee ay
Wasn't it Andrews Sisters? Maybe with Bing Crosby?
Huxley wrote a book about his experience using peyote called "Doors of Perception" don't know if it's still in print.
Can't bear this strain any longer, I tell you no, Gloria
Can't bear this strain any longer, I tell you no, Gloria
You promised to marry me in the month of May
Now you try to run away, if it's the last thing I have to do
Gloria my darling I'm begging you
Please marry me Gloria, darling can't you see Gloria
With all your faults, I want you like a long dose of Epsom salts
I like to be a bachelor,
Before I met Gloria
I don't know what she did to me
Some people think I'm crazy
Some say it's the treatment, some say it's this and that
Some say she's a diplomat, I don't care what the case may be
Come darling let's join in matrimony
So please marry me Gloria, darling can't you see Gloria
My belly does boil, I want you like a bad dose of castor oil
You said you loved me but you lied,
My friend saw you with another guy
And now you have me in a state
With all the doubts you create
Soon as I turned my back you were on the go
Gloria girl I tell you no, and I beg you not to forget
A promise to me is more than a bet
So please marry me Gloria, sweetheart can't you see Gloria
You must understand, I want you like a cop want a wanted man
Gloria is my only girl
My only hope in this world
Give me your hand and say you do
Come back to me I'm telling you
I want you to have and hold until death we part
Please don't try to break my heart
I say stop all this stupidness darling and seal it now with a kiss
Please marry me Gloria, darling can't you see Gloria
You lovely flower bud, I love you like a pig loves a pool of mud
Between Huxley and cows and doors of perception, we find that we are an exchange of valuable information, listeners.
edgar, nope, but you are sooooooooooooooooo close.
I have a very funny story about peyote but this may not be the place to tell it.
It's okay, Dys; we're all like family here.
Adjusting the dial to make sure I do not miss any of dys' promised peyote tales.
I like radio drama. A lot.
Unless it's scary.
Almost like waiting for the next episode of Inner Sanctum.
more like "the shadow" who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of man, the shadow knows.
May I get a song in edgewise, edgar?
"We Are Family"
Wow..., say it to me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah-ie yeah..., wow....
We are family
I got all my sisters with me
We are family
Get up everybody and sing
Everyone can see we're together
as we walk on by...
and we fly just like birds of a feather
We know that's no lie-a-ie
All of the people around us to say...

To get our share of the world's delights
High hopes we have for the future
And our goal's in sight

I'll find the lyrics to Cow Cow Boogie later.
while, of course, those members of wa2k radio are indeed family there are others who peruse this topic that don't have "family" clearance and are less that trusted.
Hmmm. Where are the younguns, dys? I suppose trolls are everywhere.
Sweet ehBeth, dry those big blue eyes and smile, dear, banish all those tears and please don't cry.
and the answer is:
COW COW BOOGIE
(Don Raye - Gene DePaul - Benny Carter)
THELMA GRACEN
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Out on the plains, down near Sante Fe
I met a cowboy riding the ranch one day
And as he jogged along
I heard him singing a most peculiar cowboy song
It was a ditty, he learned in the city
Comma-ti-yi-yi-yeah, comma-ti-yippity-yi-yeah
Get along, get hip little dogies
Get along, better be on your way
Get along, get hip little dogie
And they trucked 'em on down the old fairway
Singing his cow-cow boogie in the strangest way
Comma-ti-yi-yi-yeah, comma-ti-yippity-yi-yeah
Singing his cowboy songs, he's just too much
He's got a knocked up western accent
With a Harlem touch
He was raised on local weed
He's what you call a swing half breed
Singing his cow-cow boogie in the strangest way
Comma-ti-yi-yi-yeah, comma-ti-yippity-yi-yeah
Get along little dogies, better be on your way
Your way, get along little dogies
And they trucked 'em on down the old fairway
Singing his cow cow boogie in the strangest way
Comma-ti-yi-yi-yeah, comma-ti-yippity-yi-yeah
Hip-hip, singing his cowboy songs
Hip-hip, as he goes joggin' along
Hip-hip, he sings with a Harlem touch
Hip-hip, that cat is just too much
Singing his cowboy ditty in the strangest way
Comma-ti-yippity-yi-yeah!
Also recorded by Ella Mae Morse, Merrill E. Moore and Dottie Dillard and perhaps Ella and her scat.
