What was it?? Strictly >for humorous purposes, I hope. Well let's put it this way: I don't have a band. heh heh To be honest, reading what I posted via the digest, it seems a whole lot less brilliant than I had planned. Via digest, you can't see that a copy apparently went to this Ron fellow, which makes the message quite scary indeed. But then if you clicked on the address I used for him, you'd realize it was a prank for sure. Via digest, it came across to me as either the words of a tasteless self-promoter (the joke) or mean scarcasm aimed at Lisa -- which was definitely not my intent. BTW, I did send her a note at the same time I made my post to be sure she knew I was joshing. Journal note to my fellow pranksters: I think this kind of prank should leave you unsure whether to be embarrassed or laugh till you puke. The way this one came off (to me, its creator) was "be disgusted or feel unpleasant." Now where's the humor in that?! Obviously I like pranks, but not ones that aim to wound. As Steve Earle says about capital punishment: "If it's about killing people, then I'm not for it." - -Meri- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from the list send mail to majordomo@smoe.org with 'unsub scribe small-repairs' in the message body.

I read your post last night in a semi-comatose state, and I thought, "If this guy is serious, I'm really embarrassed for him!" I think I actually blushed! Scary thing is, I lived in Nashville for 5 years, and there are actually people who do those sorts of things!

Sarah, l think I've mentioned this before, but have you heard Robbie Fulks' number about trying to make it as a songwriter in Nashville? Especially if you've been there -- I saw it through my brother's eyes -- the sentiments are pretty damn funny. It's a western swing tune, called "Fuck This Town." I'll post my favorite line from it when I get home. I'm glad you laughed!
