Just trying to be "hip" in the word's 2017 derivation; so advancing to the contemporary mood; shake a leg to this.

Arthur said; "The thing about being dirty and cheap already is that you tend not to worry about such things. There's a certain power that comes from really owning what you are.'

You're a what? Most of us are Whos?

Sounds like a suggestion for a serious reply. Here goes. Some of the words are wrong. Damn computer clerks.

“Women have curious ways of hurting someone else. They hurt themselves instead; or else they do it so the guy doesn't even know he's been hurt until much later. Then he finds out. Then his dick falls off.”
― Margaret Atwood, The Blind Assassin

I'm guessing this was before the time of penicillin.

Damn Graham. With the ability to banter with genius you choose to read "Fast Times." The only safe conclusion one can make is that you're a severe terminal underachiever.

It has come to my attention that certain other intelligencia and intellectual GR threads have been chastising the aestheticism displayed here. They think that in this time of political strife it is much more important to make witty one-liners about Trump's hair or the conspiracy by which main stream newspapers have chosen to put him in a good false light.

Their commentary has made us feel frivolous and self-centered. I can only offer a quote from a great American.

"Okay. Okay. I'll go march on Washington as soon as I finish my slurpee and get back on my feet. Geez."

Linda Lovelace

To help pass the time before the predicted coming devastation, and in consideration of the overwhelming success of the last one, I propose a poll. It’s about sex, but I don’t know what the question is. So, here is a list of songs. Please make note of any that strike you as significant while indicating gender and age. Write ins are acceptable. There are prizes.

1) Stick Out Your Can, Here Comes the Garbage Man- R. Crumb and His Zoot Suit Serenaders.
2) Down on Me- Janis Joplin
3) Atomic- Blondie
4) Tutti Frutti- Little Richard
5) Who Put Their Overalls in Mrs. Murphy’s Chowder- Spike Jones and His Slick Five.
6) Waiting for the Miracle- Leonard Cohen
7) Back Door Man- Doors
8) Triage- Jefferson Airplane
9) Why Don’t We Do It in the Road- Beatles
10) Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard- Paul Simon
11) Slave to my Dick- Subhumans
12) Hail, Hail, the Gang’s All Here- Poseur Punk and his Furious Five
13) Wooly Bully- Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs

AG has assured me that he will send the chief participant, who is also the largest contributor to his Patreon scam, a more revealing photo, on the back of which will be his handwritten signature and a poem inspired by the winner’s choice(s), a certain valuable collector’s item. Other Patreon patrons will get a copy with a fuzzy copy of the photo. In addition, anyone answering 7), depending on AG’s mood and indicated gender will be awarded an AG GR friendship.

Note: The representations made above are not those of HaroldI. Further, HaroldI assumes no responsibility; financial, emotional, embarrassment, dissatisfaction or otherwise; for any and all damages claimed by the participant. Welcome to the jungle, baby.

Arthur Graham What kind of perverted freak thinks "Wooly Bully" is about sex?

That's always the risk when one publicly reveals their innermost fantasies; people start calling names.

Arthur Graham In any case, with the scorched-earth approach most gals seem to take these days, it's been a while since I came across any wooly bully out there.

Finally got one on ya, Ace. Met this bi-chick who was hooked up with a femme, and like she hadn't touched a razor in years. And, uh, texture has it's advantages.

But, that wasn't primarily what I was thinking of here. Check the words.

Uno, dos, one, two, tres, quatro
Matty told Hatty about a thing she saw.
Had two big horns and a wooly jaw.
Wooly bully, wooly bully.
Wooly bully, wooly bully, wooly bully.
Hatty told Matty, "Let's don't take no chance.
Let's not be L-seven, come and learn to dance."
Wooly bully, wooly bully
Wooly bully, wooly bully, wooly bully.
Matty told Hatty, "That's the thing to do.
Get you someone really to pull the wool with you."
Wooly bully, wooly bully.
Wooly bully, wooly bully, wooly bully.

It's kind of obvious that this is about a foursome. But the key word is L-7. Hatty is saying no to 69; she wants everyone to be standing. And that's only the opener.

I look forward to that when you become a bi-chick with a femme partner.

Just to add a few more, perhaps more traditional options;

1) Pissing in a River- Patti Smith
2) Eli’s Comin’- Laura Nyro
3) When the Music’s Over- Doors
4) Eat to the Beat- Blondie
5) Rebel, Rebel- David Bowie
6) Don’t Open the Door to Strangers- Church
7) Combination of the Two- Janis Joplin
8) 25th Floor- Patti Smith
9) It Ain’t the Meat (It’s the Motion)- Maria Muldaur
10) Is That All There Is?- Peggy Lee
11) Grind- Church
12) Season of the Witch- Donovan
13) Heat Wave- Martha and the Vandellas
14) Brother, Brother- Marvin Gaye
15) Visions of Johanna- Bob Dylan
16) Dazed and Confused- Led Zeppelin
17) How could I have forgotten “Some Kinda Love”- Velvet Underground
18) Under My Thumb- Rolling Stones
19) Soul Kitchen- Doors
20) Paperback Writer- Beatles

18) doesn’t necessarily mean the first thing that pops to mind; though it also does. There’s one joke one in here. Be careful. If you pick it the appropriate buttons will be pushed, relegating you to the Trump, Sweden, Fascist, and travel advisory threads.

3) and 4) are on my mind. Like the extended versions. But then there’s 12), 13), 15), and 19), not to neglect ..................

This has to stop somewhere, or else I’ll never finish my children’s book.

OK. Another total mass retain disappointment. In desperation, even more genre induced banality is offered for market consideration.

1) Mississippi Queen- Mountain
2) Whipping Post- Allman Brothers
3) Daydream Believer- Monkees
4) Dancin' Barefoot- Patti Smith (maybe not)
5) Dog Named Cat- IDK
6) Just Fuck Me or something like that- Katy Perry
7) It's In the Way That You Use It- Eric Clapton
8) Rhiannon- Fleetwood Mac (really Stevie Nicks)
9) Stir It Up- Bob Marley
10) Lick Samba- Bob Marley

If none of the aforementioned is considered worthy of applause, go do the crazy hand jive.

Alternative answer. No, as i am not one of the priviliged 15,000. Fuck, man. I seek the "A" list; and it looks like I'm going to have to see all the other letters first; ass end up.


message 167: by [deleted user] (new)

What fucking ever. Bottom line; this is it for me. Like it, don't like it. I don't give two fucks. Simple truth is that nobody can beat it, even with the help of Michael.

Yeah, right? It's weird. Katy's not the least bit unattractive. But, it's like ............... IDK. Too obviously fake? The scent of desperation? I'll take Patti Smith at age 70; if I could get over my awe.

It's all good, bro. The only wrong answer was "Paperback Writer."

Well, obviously the sexiest Beatles tune of all time is "Drive My Car".

Yeah. I didn't know that one. Probably didn't allow it to be played in Jersey. I'd go "Fixing a Hole" for second. They're kind of spaced and aimlessly meandering on pschedelics, but manage to start and end in the right place.

I'm exhausted and am going to sleep. Here's my lullaby;
