In response to KO's "situation", here's what John Prine would do

[Fly by night]

Blow Up Your TV (John Prine)

She was a level-headed dancer on the road to alcohol
And I was just a soldier on my way to Montreal.
Well she pressed her chest against me
About the time the juke box broke.
Yeah, she gave me a peck on the back of the neck
And these are the words she spoke

"Blow up your TV, throw away your paper.
Go to the country, build you a home.
Plant a little Garden, eat a lot of peaches.
Try and find Jesus on your own."

Well, I sat there at the table and I acted real naive.
For I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve.
Well, she danced around the bar room and she did the hoochy-coo.
Yeah she sang her song all night long, tellin' me what to do

"Blow up your TV, throw away your paper
Go to the country, build you a home
Plant a little Garden, eat a lot of peaches
Try and find Jesus on your own."

Well, I was young and hungry and about to leave that place.
When just as I was leavin', well she looked me in the face
I said "You must know the answer."
She said, "No, but I'll give it a try."
And to this very day we've been livin' our way
And here is the reason why.

We blew up our TV, threw away our paper.
Went to the country, built us a home.
Had a lot of children, fed 'em on peaches.
They all found Jesus on their own.
----

Thanks, John. Now it's about time to go find some "illegal smiles".

I blew up my TV a long time ago.

[Fly by night]

1. One self-kick, then it's on to the Garden

Just a smilin', shuckin' and jivin'.

Life is too short and too beautiful for TV anyway.

557 channels and nothin' on.

[Loki]

20. Onomonopoea

I don't wanna see ya, speakin' in a foreign tongue. :hi:

[Fly by night]

24. You can talk dirty to me anytime.

I think.

[taterguy]

2. Oh for fuck's sake

The song is called Spanish Pipedream dumbass

[Loki]

5. Little harsh today taterguy?

John would probably recommend a little "Illegal Smile" to smooth out your day. I don't think he would mind too much a little mis-naming of one of his songs....if you've ever heard his story of the "Happy Enchilada" song you would probably understand.

[taterguy]

8. Half an inch of water and you think you're gonna drown

You're probably wrong about me understanding

[tkmorris]

6. COMPLETELY uncalled for

It's hard to believe that anyone as perpetually nasty as you are would even know who John Prine is.

It's a big ole goofy world I guess.

[taterguy]

7. Just what the fuck do you mean by 'perpetually nasty'

[Fly by night]

9. Someone got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.

Maybe you should just crawl back under it and do us all a favor.

BTW, I Googled "John Prine Blow Up TV" and the first set of lyrics that popped up was titled "Blow Up Your TV".

I'll see if I can find out who posted that grievous error ... so you can sue 'em.

As for me, well ...

It's too late to edit the OP, since I am bouncing between Kinkos(s) for my internets access today.

But, in the interim, joke me if you can't take a fuck.

[bobbolink]

13. I don't think that particular bed *has* any right side.

:shrug:

[taterguy]

15. I don't think it's very nice to go snarking about others

[Fly by night]

16. Thanks again for correcting my mistake about the title.

As far as profane snarkiness, I would suggest you Google "pot call kettle"

[taterguy]

19. You're welcome

[bobbolink]

18. ~~~holding up mirror~~~~

[taterguy]

23. ~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~

yourself

[Loki]

3. John wrote a song just for Republicans and GW Bush

It's called "Some Humans Ain't Human". I love John. Been a fan
since his first album.:hippie:

[AlinPA]

4. "...and some cowboy from Texas starts his own war in Eye-rack"...John is good. nt

[Octafish]

10. We both got kicked off of Noah's Ark.

[Fly by night]

11. ... and your flag decal won't get you into heaven anymore.

[badtoworse]

12. ... but it might take you back to Muhlenberg County

[Fly by night]

17. ... unless you're Sam Stone.

[Fly by night]

22. However, if an angel from Montgomery vouches for you, well come right on in.

[d_r]

14. peaches come from a can

they were put there by a man in a factory downtown.

[Fly by night]

21. One evening self-kick, for the John Prine fans and/or the TV demolitionists amongst us.

[Fly by night]

25. and one Sunday morning (coming down) self-kick for all the boys who make the noise ...

... on 16th Avenue.

When I was in college at Vanderbilt in the late 60s, Kris Kristofferson sang at our dorm's coffee house for $25 and all the uneaten doughnuts he could haul away. Nashville is really a fine place to live near.

Thanks to cannabis, we still have John Prine's voice and his poetic pen.

(I know and am proud to have played a small role in that.)

Back to the Garden. Hope taterguy feels better this morning. Too many taters give you gas (and makes your posts sound like it sometimes).

[taterguy]

26. I feel better than James Brown

Thanks for asking

[Fly by night]

27. Good for you, spud, good for you. James Brown is dead, ...

... his life cut short in part by his love of PCP and methamphetamine.

If the foo shits ...

Your sig line intrigues me. I have no interest in getting you on another profane tirade today (since I'm surprised to see you back here anyway.) But rather than using someone else's words, why not use a sig line more suited to your moods, something like:

"I am here to awaken to the reality of my separateness." -- Taterguy

Just a suggestion.

[taterguy]

28. Who the fuck are you to think you know better than I do what my sig line should be?

I keed.

I keed.

Have a great day.
