Truck Stop Girl
Written by lowell george and bill payne

Tailights flickerin, as he pulled up to a truckstop
The same old crowd was hangin out again tonight
He said, fill up my tank while I go check my load
It feels like its shifting all around

He was the kind of man, do all he could
Above all he had integrity
But he was so young
And on a ten city run
In love with a truck stop girl

As he went inside, he was merrily greeted
By the girl with whom he was in love
She held out a glass and said, have another
This is the last time we can meet

With her hair piled up high and a look in her eye
That would turn any good mans blood to wine
All his eyes could see, well all his eyes could see
Was the stare from all those around him

He ran out to the lot, and climbed into his rig
And drove off without tightening down
It was a terrilble thing, to see what remained
Of the rig that poor danny was in

And he was so young and on a ten city run
In love with a truck stop girl
But he was so young, and on a ten city run
In love with a truck stop girl

If You're Thinking Of Committing Suicide...

Retrieved HERE because it is a good link for some excellent alliterations on life....

Thomas De Quincey, author of Confessions of an English Opium-Eater, once wrote ". . .sometimes under the transfigurations of music I felt of grief itself as a fiery chariot for mounting victoriously above the causes of grief." If you're thinking of committing suicide, here are a few songs that might make you change your mind.
The Byrds
A.R.E. Weapons - Don't Be Scared
If pep rallies were like this, I'd have had teen spirit.
Blur - Sing
4:33 to 4:58 in the song is why God invented elephants for man to make ivory.
Leonard Cohen - Suzanne
Like taking a rowboat through the It's A Small World ride after a nuclear apocalypse.
Eels - Woman Driving, Man Sleeping
Small moments of bliss.
Jane's Addiction - Classic Girl
"For us these are the days," is sung with enough passion to make it truth.
Joy Division - Atmosphere
Sounds and feels like revelation. Obviously Ian Curtis did end up committing suicide; but the way he sings "Don't walk away, in silence" is the sound of life fighting the darkness.
Little Wings - Faith Children
A soft, simple, sorrowful plea from the heart of of hope: "Faith, children..."
Mekons - Last Night On Earth
A soul-stirring anthem for the end of time.
Modest Mouse - So Much Beauty In Dirt:
Short (under two minutes) and sweet. I didn't think anything that references M*A*S*H could move me, but I was wrong.

Roy Orbison

Mother Love Bone - Chloe Dancer/Crown Of Thorns
Strangely but greatly affecting to me; unfortunately the lead singer later died, leaving us with Pearl Jam. Something about the simplicity of the lyrics merely adds to its grandeur.
New Radicals - You Get What You Give
I file this one under guilty pleasures. I know I shouldn't like it, but, oh, "you got the music in you!"
Pinback - Tripoli
Sweet and soothing, like a warm bath filled with sedatives.

Sacred Dervish Dance of the Sufis [Turning; Turning; Turning]

Primal Scream - Keep Your Dreams
It sounds like a lullaby from the future; a last radio transmission through time from a world come to an end.
Primitive Radio Gods - Standing Outside A Broken Phone Booth With Money In My Hand
Music to accompany the first groggy step out of bed, or the first step down from the noose.
Stranglers - Golden Brown
Sometimes a beautiful ditty can be more than enough.
U2 - Bad
Catharsis.
Vaselines - Son Of A Gun
Has a melody that would make a trip to Hell seem like a wonderful new adventure.
The Verve - Lucky Man
Forget "Bittersweet Symphony" and the Alamo for that matter. This is the song.

And once again for the bliss of it.... wish I had one of their guitars....

Have you seen this one? Ob[s]ama Bi[n] [La]den

by Pat Darnell and Friends


Obama Biden -- Ob[s]ama Bi[n] [La]den


Only in America.... Please let me say that again: ONLY IN AMERICA !!

I am giving free press to Obama Biden, because I believe in the unbelievable. Yes, I do. I believe in Abraham Lincoln, and I listen carefully to what octogenarian Veterans of World War II say.

There is no question that sifting through blogs will converge on the Peter Principle described by the accuracy in the Sherlock Holmes theory of deduction: "what ever is leftover, after eliminating all possibilities, is going to be the answer... no matter how rediculous that leftover is."

I believe I am a free American living in the middle of the USA, with all the comforts that come with that honor, as I was born a third generation Texan, resulting from immigrant farmers and builders coming from the east.

That is why only in the USA could a Muslim, racially mixed, male of humble beginnings make it to the candidacy of the Democratic Party 2008.

Not one of the entire billion internet users is mincing words... now is the time to exercise freedom of speech. And what is the 40 million who watched the DNC Candidate Obama acceptance speech saying?

Mostly the public record has been "thoroughly expunged.. err exhumed" on these issues:

• Obama has a doctored-up birth certificate, or two...
  
• Obama has been photographed in his pre-teen confirmation sartorial splendor as a Muslim
• Obama has no proven leadership record
• Obama's mother is white, and his dad is black, and his maternal grandparents are white
  
• Obama has at least one, half-brother in Kenya
  

What does it all mean? Obama is mostly harmless.


________________________________[clik HERE to read this blurb typical of the day]
(voxnov; Obama receives “terrorist” walking stick as gift June 6, 2008) As most of you know, Obama received yesterday an old maple walking stick from a 95-year old man from Virginia, which Obama joked he would use to “whup” Congress if they didn’t pass his health care bill.

But… what is really behind the gift that may, at first glance, appear completely harmless? What else is Barack Hussein Obama planning to do with the walking stick? Perhaps he doesn’t want to tell us the whole story.

The picture below shows a close and quite scary resemblance and may give us an answer to the question: (This post is done in honor of Michelle Malkin for wasting our time by pointing out “obvious” terrorism threats)

Christopher Says:
June 6, 2008 at 9:26 am If you’re going to ridicule Malkin — and she’s over the top at times, I agree — at least present her accurately. Here is her exact post on the subject:"Charles Johnson notes, and many readers have e-mailed about, Dunkin Donuts’ spokeswoman Rachel Ray’s clueless sporting of a jihadi chic keffiyeh in a recent DD ad campaign. I’m hoping her hate couture choice was spurred more by ignorance than ideology.

"Is Ray’s blunder worth boycotting Dunkin Donuts over? I’ll be interested to hear the company’s take. At this point, I’m going to give the management the benefit of the doubt."

See what I mean: Dunkin Donuts and Rachel Ray?? Obama is mostly harmless.

Curse this cheap ass GPS! I am not hiding, I am lost!
No one knows where the Osama Bin Laden fled after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Judging by the Al Qaeda leader's videos, which threaten the United States and any country which supports it, he may be in a cave inhabited by first year film students with arthritis

It never ceases to amaze me how your Western media wastes its time on these things. Is Barack Obama a secret Muslim? Is he part of a sleeper cell planning to take over the White House? Does he prefer the Quran to the Bible? Come on you people — wake it up! Could the answer not be more obvious?

YES!

• Muslims cannot play the bowling ball. Obama cannot play the bowling ball.
• Obama enjoys the company of crazy religious leaders.
• Obama enjoys the company of crazy followers.

On this 60th anniversary of the modern state of the israelites, let me take a moment to say a few nice words about these jews.

Dear Jews -- you have done some good things, Osama is big enough to admit this. I like your comedy. That Seinfeld and his crazy situations! How long will we have to stand in this line for chinese food? Where is my car in this parking garage, I cannot find it! Oh no, my girlfriend has man hands! I watch this Seinfeld every time he is on, which is a lot.

Other stuff I like about jews:

• Knishes. The perfect food for fleeing through the desert, they come in their own wrapper, and provide plenty of tasty starchy calories.
• Bob Dylan. He isn't always jewish but he is best when he is.
• Hava Nagila. Once you hear this song you cannot stop from humming it all the day long. It is so happy. (Osama's Blog; lately)

Going Out on a Limb

[clik HERE for the Blog that started this]

My following comment speaks to all in this thread; my claim is it does not matter who the candidate is; my proposal is a one six year term will initiate the "change" everyone is asking for.

It does not matter who is President.. haven't you noticed? It says somewhere in the tests of time that the next president must be a Democrat. The reason? ...due to miserable turn down in the economy.

Historically, a Democrat in office helps the economy return to some kind of balance.

This is why the only serious change is in the alteration of the economic cycle... Heavy concept, for sure!

That is why I propose a six-year, one-time term for the US Executive Presidency, instead of two fours. This is because me, the small business man, a bread and butter staple of AMerica, suffers the most as latent Republican President lame duck sits out his last two years.

As an empirical adjustment in political strategy dogmas, whatever's, Republicans go to or get involved in world wars using the military, Democrats stay out of wars and look to internal campaigns... cut military budgets and stress education.

Clearly, the baton today sincerely has to be passed to the Democrats... regardless of who the candidate is.

Someone must have said: "Okay, John [McCain] you can run but you won't win..." We need six years of Democrat dogma. You see, "It's a charade."

Shoot, you could put Kid Rock up there, in front of 22 virgin hijab wearing girls sitting behind him, as long as he is Democrat for 2008.

My advice to all comments in this discussion is to look at the irony of KaoBob's article. The point is drop all the pseudo-finger pointing and get your wheels moving in the implicit nature of Democrats' programming. Be more prepared and decided.

Arab, Pakistan, Illegal Mexican Immigrants, Terrorists, Russian Mafia, Italians, Firemen, Work Visa Workers, students, Texans ... it doesn't matter. Everyone in this country carries a check book [check card] and when the time comes everyone gets it out to decide how he/she/it will vote.

MooPig Exclusive Interview: "Favorite Music Of the Soldier to the right.."
"So 2pac died before he could record any salsa tracks but that doesn't mean we won't be seeing any on his next album; I love any version of Malaguena -- especially the salsa one (not Eddie Palmieri's version but the version I performed to in Xela that nobody knows the artist's name of) the Guatemalan Spanish rock band Malacates made me no longer absolutely and completely *hate* Spanish rockactivist musicians like the Iron Sheik and the Arab Summit and Immortal Technique -- who are all actually going to free Palestine, the Kumbia Kings made me like merengue again; Mazzy Star has always made me wanna have drunken sex; Alejandro Sanz's raspy voice makes him sound like a dirty old man but all that means is that we'll have to keep some lights on."

Survey: Do You Think...

Do you think the "B's" should move to Beijing? We think they should ! Good Idea, Barack !

Who are the "B's"? that is Barack Obama Joseph Biden Bin Laden Bea Arthur and Amy Jade Winehouse... [for rehaB] ... with BigFoot on Bass, just to mention the leadership who will bolster the campaign.

Because: We could trade for Yu Gi Oh cards, and amass virtually a huge storehouse of weaponry, though all make believe... still! We could be Pokemon and YuGiOh Champions of the Galaxy and beyond. I suspect this is what kind of business that Senator Obama has in mind to put on the strip malls of Beijing -- Trading Card, Spa, and Hot Topic's stores. Not so bad, because then there will be some Wheel and Tires shops for the Mexican Immigrants, and so on.

The only thing we at MooPig Entrepeneurial Enterprises think is a stony obstacle is the Chinese Yaun is not traded on the world market!!! And most of the "enterprises, institutions and utilities" are all "nationalized." Hmmmmm... and Bob's your Uncle !!

TEAm "B" obamabidenbinamy.bea will be on the bandwagon for these developments, so says the new chief-seeker of decider-ship for the Free World, Barack Obama himself.

Gustav -- UPDATE

Forecasters expect Hurricane Gustav to grow into a Category 3 hurricane and make landfall Monday or Tuesday on the Texas or Louisiana coast.

Weather watchers cautioned that the storm's track and intensity are difficult to predict this far in advance.

"We have a few days to wait and see," Frazier said.

If the hurricane aims for Louisiana, up to 50,000 evacuees could head for Texas, officials said.

"We know it's going to head into the Gulf. After that, we're not sure where it's heading," said Rebecca Waddington, a meteorologist at the National Hurricane Center.

Hurricane may send evacuees to Brazos

By CASSIE SMITH

New Orleans city officials were also using the days ahead of the storm to prepare, making plans for a mandatory evacuation of the city should a Category 3 or stronger hurricane come within 60 hours of the city.

Gustav formed Monday and came ashore Tuesday as a Category 1 hurricane near the southern Haitian city of Jacmel, with top winds near 90 mph. It toppled palm trees and flooded the city's Victorian wooden buildings. The storm triggered flooding and landslides that killed at least 11 people in the Caribbean. It weakened into a tropical storm and appeared headed for Cuba, though is likely to grow stronger in the coming days by feeding on warm open water.

MooPig Wisdom: Clues of Morals Department

PHOTO Right: Monposett Pond, Halifax, Mass, by PatDarnell

A guy is 85 years old and loves to fish.

He was sitting in his boat the other day when he heard a voice say, 'Pick me up.'

He looked around and couldn't see any one. He thought he was dreaming when he heard the voice say again,'Pick me up.'

He looked in the water and there, floating on the top, was a frog. The man said, 'Are you talking to me?' and repeated: 'Are you talking to me?'

The frog said: 'Yes, I'm talking to you, Bob.
'Pick me up; then kiss me.
'I will turn into the most beautiful woman you have ever seen.
'I will make sure that all your friends are envious and jealous:
'...because I will be your bride!'

The man looked at the frog for a short time, reached over, picked it up carefully, and placed it in his front breast pocket, and said, 'My name's not Bob.'

Then the frog said from the mans shirt pocket, 'Blimey, what, are you nuts? Didn't you hear what I said? I said kiss me and I will be your beautiful bride !!'

The old fisherman patted his pocket, looked at the frog and said, 'Nah, at my age I'd rather have a talking frog.'

With age comes wisdom? Certainly.

But, the Real moral to this story is [We Have a Winner!]
"Bassmaster J" said...Frogs are self-centered little sluts that have no real insight into the needs of the elderly for simple companionship. This amphi-human relationship is doomed from the start. On his next fishing trip, "Bob" probably hooked her up with a weedless rig and used her for bassbait...

"Bassmaster J" wins a simple hug and a kiss from Kermit, or this bassmaster's fantasy girl shown below!!! And dinner for two at the NEMO Sushi House !!!!
