Well, I'm apparently not very good at this thread-posting thing

I've been meaning to post this ever since last week's "naked" festival in the Lounge. It reminded me of the phrase "Naked came I out of the Senate and naked shall I return", which is attributed to Hubert Humphrey in The Begatting of The President, a send-up of the 1968 Presidential race written in mock-biblical style and abley recited by Orson Welles. I bought the album when it was first released but lost it over the years and I just recently listened again after downloading from this link:

It's surprisingly fresh and offers a interesting look into political perceptions of the late '60s.

1. Sometimes it takes awhile for folks to comment...

2. LOL. I thought no one replied

If you get a chance to listen to it, tell me what you think. :hi:

3. Sometimes, you just gotta kick it.

When things are going pretty fast in the Lounge, the post will drop out of sight, out of mind. Give it time and then give it a swift :kick: yourself for better results. At least, that is what works for me.

5. This was originally a copycat way back when it was first posted

I thought I'd be clever and actually put something interesting in it. :D

Did you listen to the Begatting of the President? :hi:

[Rhiannon12866]

11. Not yet. I was disappointed that I couldn't recommend your thread.

And what did you do with 4000? I hope that it was something memorable...:D

Had to answer before I realized I'd used up 4000. Oh, well, the car deserved the honor.

[Rhiannon12866]

13. Yes, that car certainly did. I know it was special to you...

And congrats on reaching 4000!!!:toast::wow:
