Did you get that script in?

14. Is "script" a euphemism for something?
:hide: :evilgrin:

No, I didn't, but the deadline was extended (till my b-day, ironically), so I have some more time to finish it.

Were you even close to being ready or is the extension a good thing? (make of that what you will :rofl: )

13. Don't laugh!
We mixed up a jug of bloody marys, marinading with claussen pickles, for the Pensacola Jazz Fest...some ungodly number of years ago...but no matter...it was memorable...

You laugh...but you'll be begging for my concoction...and then you'll recognize my importance, in the whole scheme of things...

60. So we'll pretty much go down in a flame of blazing glory
We'll tour around the country as a part of Crimmy''s jazz combo (you'll be the sexy sax player every woman dreams about), drinking my Bloody Mary mix together, drinking, drinking drinking...

Hopefully, thanks to Crimmy's sexual attraction (she'll exude sex kitten as the lead in a jazz combo...at least we're hoping for that!). So, we'll hit it big and end up in Europe, right? Then you and I will OD on the BMs, and we'll be buried next to Jim Morrison in Paris? Well, actually, I was going for cremation up until now. However with the new scheme of things...we could have a big mausoleum for the fans to visit...

It sounds like a great plan to me!

62. OD'ing On BM's and Choking and Drowning In A Bathtub
sounds like the way to go...wouldn't be the worst way at all

I was listening to a non jazz song today that reminded me of how I used to fantasize about going...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfyLfimk55M

Shooting Star- Bad Company

Johnny was a schoolboy when he heard his first Beatle song,
'Love me do,' I think it was. From there it didn't take him long.
Got himself a guitar, used to play every night,
Now he's in a rock 'n' roll outfit,

And everything's all right, don't you know?

Johnny told his mama, hey, 'Mama, I'm goin' away. I'm gonna hit the big
time, gonna be a big star someday', Yeah.
Mama came to the door with a teardrop in her eye.
Johnny said, 'Don't cry, mama, smile and wave good-bye'.

Don't you know, yeah yeah, Don't you know that you are a shooting star,
Don't you know, don't you know. Don't you know that you are
a shooting star, And all the world will love you just as long,
As long as you are.

Johnny made a record, Went straight up to number one,
Suddenly everyone loved to hear him sing the song.
Watching the world go by, surprising it goes so fast.
Johnny looked around him and said, 'Well, I made the big time at last'.

Don't you know, don't you know, Don't you know that you are
a shooting star,
Don't you know, oh, yeah, Don't you know that you are
a shooting star, yeah,
And all the world will love you just as long,
As long as you are, a shooting star.

Don't you know that you are a shooting star, Don't you know, yeah,
Don't you know that you are a shooting star, now,
And all the world will love you just as long, As long you are you.

Johnny died one night, died in his bed, Bottle of whiskey,
sleeping tablets by his head. Johnny's life passed him by like a
warm summer day, If you listen to the wind you can still hear him play

Oh oh oh, Don't you know that you are a shooting star,
Don't you know, yeah, don't you know', Don't you know that
you are a shooting star,
Don't you know, yeah,
Don't you know that you are a shooting star,
Don't you, don't you,
don't you, don't you,
Don't you know, don't you
know, oh, yeah, you are,
Yeah, a shooting star, yeah, oh
oh oh oh oh......
Don't you, don't you know
that you are a shooting star,
Don't you don't you know......
