  • Maybe everyone already knew this but me...but besides all the other lyrics websites, there's actually a website - kissthisguy.com - that's an archive of misunderstood lyrics.

  • No thanks Don - not me either. I think I can still read the liner notes, although now I need glasses to do so! And if all else fails I still have a working turntable!

    Whirlwind...

    No, I wasn't aware of this site...I just checked it out and I've found myself laughing hysterically out loud...my coworkers must think I'm mad! I've see a few that I often wondered myself what the words were...

    Like Pearl Jam's 'Glorified G' and is it 'pelican'?, no, it's 'pellet gun'!

    Oh boy...I could be on that site all day getting a kick out of what people thought...thanks for bringing it to our attention...now I won't get any work done!

    x:D



  • Glen Campbell's 'Wichita Lineman' from ages ago...my wife told me when she was a baby and heard oldies but goodies, she used to think the line said, "....and I drive the maid home." When actually the line was, "I'm a lineman for the county.....and I drive the main road."
  • >Glen Campbell's 'Wichita Lineman' from ages ago...
    What do you mean "from ages ago"? It couldn;t have been more than 20, 25, 30 or 35 years ago at the most, could it?

  • The good news (and/or bad news) depends on what you consider ages and ages again. In this case it was 1968.
  • "....and I drive the maid home." When actually the line
    >was, "I'm a lineman for the county.....and I drive the main road."


    Don, is that like 'Driving Miss Daisy'? But in reverse?



  • No. The car in that movie only had FORWARD gears. Morgan Freeman is unable to turn his neck anyway so he could not have been driving any other way.

    No Don, you missed my attempt at humor...

    What I meant by reverse, was instead of the 'servant' driving the 'employer', the 'employer' was driving the 'servant' (in this case, the maid).

    Loses something in the translation...bad when you have to explain a joke, oh well...it was early, yea...that's it!



  • HR: You know me better than that! Of course I picked up your attempt at humor. I was merely trying my own attempt at it. BTW, Morgan is from Mississippi and has a brand new restaurant in Clarksdale, MS, just afew miles south of the magnanimous bunch of casinos perched in Tunica (a few miles south of memphis). Once the poorest county in the nation, now one of the wealthiest with almost 90% employment. Driving Miss Daisy indeed. Of course I understood. Suddenly I wish I were a "Lineman For The County" instead of an HR Director. What I wouldn't give.

    Do I know you better than that? And it's HS, not HR..haha ~ although that mistake has been made before. Sorry I didn't pick up on your humor either...if that's what you're calling humor these days. Guess you were still a little 'off' from Friday's experience. BTW - Saturday?!? Don't you have better things to do then deal with HR related stuff on a Saturday? Especially after the week you had, you'd think you'd 'get away from it all'! I know I would have and did.




  • My older sister convinced me that the line in the Bob Dylan song "Lay Lady Lay" was "lay across my bumpy grass bed". I tried the line during an adolescent backseat interlude...didn't work. I still bare the emotional scars.

    My, my Dennis...what a comment! Now you know we're all picturing 'backseat interludes'. Good thing it's friday, don't think any work will get done now!

  • Just thought I'd mention quickly that a moment ago the Classic Rock station we play in our office began playing "Nights in White Satin" and I immediately thought of all you Forum-ers. x;-)
  • Parabeagle...that is too funny! Thanks for thinking of all of us.

    x;-)


  • Oh, trust me, HS. Since I started visiting this forum thing last December (I think), I have come to realize that any NUMBER of things will now make me think of the forum... fingerpainting, deep fried turkey (whatever THAT's good for), Cannon Beach, etc. x;-)
  • Deep Fried Turkey...whatever that's good for.

    I'm insulted. Send me your email address and I will send you the writeup on how to deep fry a turkey. It carries with it an absolute guarantee that you will never want one any other way. [email]trilogydd@aol.com[/email]
  • Don, you are actually going to share your recipe with the Beagle after his uncouth remark "(whatever THAT's good for)" ? x:o
  • Yes, I frequently adopt those animals which bite me. I've found that it works.
  • Woof!

    Hope you all realize I'm just being difficult. I have friends who would love the recipe, Don, but I'm a vegetarian so I don't think it would do me much good. Thanks for the offer, though.
  • See if Don D has a recipe for deep fried turnip greens!

    Actually, there is a diner that has become famous for deep fried Twinkies. If that doesn't give you an instant heart attack, I don't know what will!

    Did you say deep fried twinkies...ugh, now I know my arteries are closing just hearing that! What will they deepfry next? Is this a 'southern thing'...and please, I'm not being racist or anything, so don't get mad. It's just that we don't deepfry much of anything in NJ.



  • I hear you. My last trip to Alabama in January I was 'tempted' with deep fried dill pickles??? I couldn't even comprehend that! :-?

    An absolute guarantee, eh? Deep fried turkey...hmmm, I think I hear my arteries clogging already!




  • Students: Let me tell you once again. Deep fried turkey absolutely does not result in oil saturating or even penetrating the skin. You actually have more gut clogging junk in the things you place in and around your turkey when you parch him dry in the oven. I love the naysayers. They're the first in my kitchen to ask for seconds and thirds and the recipe, and can they take the leftovers home. Even the cardiologist who lives two doors down has me fry him one at least quarterly. But, I know several HR people who claim to be medical people.
  • How in the world did we get from "I'm the King I wish for bacon" & "Knights in white satin" to deep fried turkeys? Guess that is what makes the world go round, and round and round.
    Must confess, I have never tried deep fried turkey, but there are those I work with that also sang its praise.
    Bon Appetite,

  • you'd be amazed what goes through here. There was one post (I think from Paul) that went well over a hundred posts and rambled all over the place. There are many things that may be said about the Forum, but one of the things you can't say is that it's boring. x:-)
  • I'm sure there's a song out there somewhere that sounds like the singer is saying "deep fried turkey" but it's really something else.

    Don, I haven't had the privledge of having deep fried turkey, YET, but may I suggest that you post your recipe on the forum and for those of us who would like to try it, do, and then repond with our opinions if we feel compelled to do so?
    My mouth is already starting to water thinking about deep fried turkey, I feel like Homer Simpson..."mmmmmmmmm, deep fried turkey".
    And I think this will be another thread that'll hit a hundred posts.
  • My boyfriend fries them all the time - tailgate, racing, party, have an extra one in the freezer, whatever the excuse - and they have never been anything less than wonderful. A couple years ago he injected it with Jack Daniels for a tailgate party contest then immediately fried it. The JD didn't have enough time to dissipate and the deep frying immediately locked it in. I took a bite right into one of the pockets of booze and about fell over. "Really officer, I didn't have anything to drink. I just ate turkey!"
