[T Bone]

23. Somewhere Down the Road

you will regret exposing this dirty secret, who knows? maybe Even Now you regret it already.

[salin]

24. I have to admit.. i sorta was skeered to open this

had visions of some pics posted awhile back of a hunka large woman... and maybe some benchpressing equipment? Nah.. Barry baby is tame in comparison... :evilgrin:

[hlthe2b]

25. Once he lost the ruffled shirts (liberace look), I could

listen to him again.

But for years that was the going joke among people I worked with. Whenever anyone turned 40, they were publically embarrassed by official transfer of the decopaged plaque with the mega-enlarged photo of Mannilow in all his ruffled glory. Someone originally found this thing at a yard sale and it was really so so so awful! But the birthday recipient had to display it in their office, until the next bloke turned 40 and they could pawn it off.

I do admit to liking him as a peformer, though...

[OneBlueSky]

28. moe inapproriate self-disclosure . . .

shoulda kept it to yourself, CatWoman . . . there are some things that one just doesn't share . . .

[Skittles]

32. I want to lather C-SPAN PEDRO with oil

and have my wicked way with him. YES INDEED. :7

[blondeatlast]

33. Ya lost me there; sorry.

But you are forgiven . . . I own 2, count 'em, two Flock of Seagulls albums on vinyl!
