A student was studying for his PhD and had chosen to do his dissertation on sheep shagging. In order to do this, he travelled the length and breadth of the UK talking to farmers about how they shagged their sheep. The consensus, from interviews and demonstrations from farmers in Cornwall, East Anglia, Northumberland, Scotland and Ireland was that the preferred position was for the sheep to have it's front legs placed over a wall or fence, and for the farmer to take the animal from behind. However, on interviewing the Welsh sheep farmer, he got a different reply. It seemed that the Welsh farmer preferred to place the animals front legs over his shoulders and take the animal in the missionary position. When asked why, as all other farmers across the UK appeared to practice a different method, the farmer replied: "Well, you don't want to miss out on the kissing, do you?" - -- Stevie - ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: 28 March 2001 11:37 Subject: Absolutely njc - more four legged humour > I couldn't resist, folks - this really made me chuckle ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2001 15:42:15 -0300 From: "Wally Kairuz" Subject: the cheek!

(NJC) yes indeed, happy fucking birthday, evian my 80's brother! as a special tribute to you, i present the following: Subject: GROWING UP IN THE 80'S You know you grew up in the 80's when..... You know the profound meaning of "Wax on, Wax off." You can sing the McDonald's Big Mac, Filet-o-fish, quarter pounder and French fry song. You know who Fat Albert is. And who was the old boy with the pink mask? You ever wore fluorescent, neon clothing. You could breakdance, or wish you could. You wanted to be The Hulk for Halloween. You Believed that "By the power of Greyskull, you HAD the power!" Partying "like it's 1999" seemed SO far away. You thought that Transformers were more than meets the eye. You knew that knowing is half the battle. You can remember Michael Jackson when he was black. You wore a banana clip at some point during your youth. You remember the garbage pail kids, and owned some. You knew what Willis was "talkin' 'bout." You knew "Rut row raggy" and "Zoinks." You HAD to have your MTV. You remember when ATARI was a state of the art video game system. You owned only cassettes. You were led to believe that in the year 2000 we'd all be living on the moon. You remember and/or owned any of the Care Bear Glass collection from Pizza Hut or the Muppets glasses from McDonalds. Poltergeist freaked you out. You knew who Ben Stein was before you could win his money, "Bueller?" You carried your lunch to school in a Gremlins, ET, Dukes of Hazzard, Knight Rider, Strawberry Shortcake or A-Team lunch box. You have ever pondered why Smurfette was the ONLY female smurf. You know what leg warmers are and probably had a pair. You wore biker shorts underneath a short skirt and felt stylish. You wore your Izod shirt with the collar up. You had a Swatch Watch with the Swatch Guard. Your Legos collection started with the free sets in a Happy Meal. You remember when Happy Meals came in a box, not a paper bag. You had Wonder Woman or Superman underoos. You know what a "Push Up" ice cream is. You had to come in the house when the street lights came on. You had to change into play clothes after school. You owned or knew somebody with a Commodore 64. You hated Scrappy Doo. You recorded songs off the radio with your boom box. You wish you had a light saber. Somehow you still know all the words to songs played on VH1's "Big 80's" ("it's been 7 hours & 15 days...") Your arm was covered in rubber bracelets. You have ever said, "Gag me with a spoon." You have ever wondered what happened to Saturday morning cartoons. You had to get up to change the channel. You can still sing 1 to 12 from the Pinball machine on Sesame Street. You thought the "Thriller" video was very cool. You remember the first time you went into a video store to rent a movie. You wore those wide, colorful shoelaces. Quiet Riot's "Come on feel the noise" was the best song - ever. You know where "I want my two dollars" came from. El Debarge's "Rhythm of the night" plagued the radio every hour. You remember life before minivans and SUVs. If you can identify with at least half of this list then you, my friend, are a "Child of the 80's". Now, how old do you feel? > <> > > Hope it was a great day filled with much Tiffany and > Sigue Sigue Sputnik! > > Bob Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!

Please lets show some respect. This actually happens to be a line from a song "HFB" which was performed a couple of different times in New Orleans and was written by my good friend(and brilliant songwriter and luthier extraordinaire) Mark Richard. It is completely tounge in cheek and most people on this list know what it is in reference to, and this is not the first time a reference has been made. Among all of my friends here in Georgia, it has always been a great honor when Mark is in town, for him to play this song at a birthday celebration as he did at my 30th birthday with the original Zen Dixie(Atlanta band) lineup. So I assure you that statement is made with the utmost respect and I don't consider it swearing(on a side note I don't think I have sworn since I was a teenager as I'm not really the swearing type.) On top of that, as there's recently been several messages about the sex life of dogs and their desire to copulate this seems rather minor in comparison. But anyway, I think the list is doing fine and we should just leave it alone. There's nothing wrong with being a little SALACIOUS now is there!

Someone has probably already told you this but Bette recorded 'Twisted' on her second eponymous album. Her take on it is campier & more frenetic than Joni's but I love it. I think both versions are valid interpretations of the song. If you listen to Annie Ross sing the original you can hear the departure points for both Joni & Bette's versions, imo.
