And Hidee ho, Lee!!! okay, now that I failed all my finals, cheated on my GRE's, and took a long hot bath in a tub of lard, I'm looking forward to my month's break of "no school." Also, now that I've read through the 578 email messages from this list I got this week, I'm going to stick my fat butt into places it shouldn't go. But like THAT ever stopped me before, right? ************Patty Griffin Related, "Goodbye"*********** Anway, I know I'll be corrected if I'm wrong (everyone is). But I could have sworn that the song "goodbye" was written about her ex-boyfriend leaving. I guess, in a sort of metaphorical way, it could be about the death of something dear to her....namely the relationship. **********Patty Griffin Related, Xmas************** Well, I'm finally glad that more people on this list are finally posting about the xmas CD thing. I've been harking on that for a year and a half now, but it usually got ignored. Mostly I was harking on it because (to be quite honest), I don't have much else to talk about since Patty Griffin doesn't visit my redneck end of the woods. However, no one mentioned "it's the most wonderful time of the year." Miss Griffin would wrap that song up and send it to far-away relatives. I mean, stick a fork in it because it would be done. Solid! Right now I have to listen to Amy Grant sing it (which is just fine, mind you); but to hear the heavenly PG-meister singing it would just cause a four-car auto accident. Namely, me hitting three other cars after having a heart attack from listening to such pure ecstasy. ****Not Patty Griffin Related at all, even if you stretched it**** speaking of ecstasy.... I now know the name of my dream woman. Not that any of you care, but her name is Laetitia Casta. What a lovely woman. yeah yeah, just thought I'd add that. One more thing on the Amy Grant-"most wonderful time of the year" thing. I really like how she sings that song. Listening to it just always makes me cheerful, which is a good thing while driving...especially in FLA when you're allowed to keep your gun on the dashboard. **********sort of Patty Griffin related, in theory at least******* Uh, someone mentioned this earlier....let me paste it here: ! No , Patty's not in jail , but she would be if she was in Lebanon. Marcel Khalife, a Lebanese musician who has performed all over the world , is facing a prison term of 6 months to 3 years for blasphemy. His offense was using a phrase from the Koran in one of his songs. My retort to that would be this: Patty Griffin would not be in jail if she were in Lebanon. To my knowledge she has never sung a passage from the Koran in ANY of her songs. So, she's got nothing to worry about. However, I could be wrong (and will definitely know about it if I am). Then again, maybe her next album might be "Passages taken out of the Koran, and other delights." You never know, things have been weirder. So, that's what floats my boat these absolutely beautiful sunny days. Oh, for those few interested: I've got 10 pink plastic flamingos in my yard. I just came up with the brilliant idea of using 8 of them, pairing them up with garland, and sticking a sleigh on the back. Then lighting it up for all my neighbors to see Santa being pulled by 8 tiny pink plastic flamingos. I'm so tacky I rock!! peace, love, and vegetable rights! paul **************************************** * Remember when you were considered * * an environmentalist when you just * * didn't throw things out the window? * * * * --Paula Poundstone * **************************************** ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 10 Dec 1999 22:49:51 -0500 From: "Donald Henn" Subject: MM: Re: Mr Hanky's Xmas special I wondered what ever happened to peace , love & vegetable rights.
