Juanita:

Truer words were never spoken. Spray cheese is a delectable comfort food that is perfect for connecting two Wheat Thin crackers together. You have the hard crunchiness of the Thins and the gooey goodness of the spray cheese making a perfect snack.

Tang is made out of nothing which appears in nature. It doesn't go with anything other than minor scrapes and abrasions as an antiseptic and you can also use it to cut engine sludge off of car transmission parts.

There was a reason they shot Tang into outer space!

Okay, It's time for a quiz! This is a quiz about songs by the Beatles. Yes the Fab Four, those lovable mop tops. And once again it's open book and the first person who answers all the questions correctly wins absolutely nothing except for the awe and admiration of the Her2 community.

And now the quiz:

1. What do "Eight Days a Week", "A Hard Days Night", and "Please Please Me" have in common?

2. What was Maxwell's last name on the song "Maxwell's Silver Hammer"?

3. Which was the first song written by George Harrison to be a number one song on the Billboard Charts.

4. Which song accidentally began with feedback through a guitar amplifier and was left in because it sounded good?

5. Which song had snippets of calliope music on tape thrown in the air and randomly assembled together?

6. What song written by Paul McCartney was originally titled "Scrambled Eggs"?

7. In the song "Martha My Dear" who was Martha?

8. On the song "Michelle", what is the translation of the French words?

9. What was lovely Rita's profession?

10. "Penny Lane" was almost banned by the BBC. Why?

11. What did Rocky Racoon find in his room?

12. Who was left out of the photograph on the front of "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"?

13. What is the actual name of the "White Album"?

14. Which song written by George Harrison featured Eric Clapton on the guitar?

15. Which song prophetically begins with John Lennon saying "Shoot me"?

Good luck.

Yippy, another quiz!!!

#2 Maxwell Edison, majoring in medicine.....

#6 "Yesterday" was first called "Scrambled Eggs".

#8 Michelle, ma belle, means Michelle, my love, although
it really translates to Michelle, my pretty or beautiful.
The next line is a repeat of the English words, "these are
words that go together well, my Michelle"

#9 Rita is a meter maid

#13 The White Album's correct title is "The Beatles"

Lee,
I just noticed your "location". Have you been there since
you were a child?

I'm glad you noticed. I was afraid someone would see the location on a serious thread and go all righteous on me. Anyways, it's nice to stop by the old smugglers prison every now and again and visit grandma. She just refuses to stop her smuggling ways, believing low cost socialist flour is a right of every American. Well, except for those goofy ninnies who dump flour into the ground hoping to grow cupcake trees. Those spoked brained yetzes can pay full price.

Ooops, I forgot.

Hint on question no. 1. The titles to the songs "Hard Days Night", "Eight Days a Week", and "Please PLease Me" all have something in common.

Lee, you know I don't want more trouble with Grandma. Remember, that one time she broke out, you told her where I was living and she laid outside in the bushes all night and nailed me with a trip-wire and beat the living crap outta me before I could get away. She's too tough for me. That's one reason I gotta keep on the move. I'm getting ready to move again actually.

Your moving? This is going to be great fun! We can have a contest to find out why you are moving. We guess and you tell us if we are right. I suppose if we aren't close in our guesses you can give us a hint and tell us where you are moving to.

I'll guess first:

Is it because your federal agent for the witness protection program got drunk and blew your cover?

Is it because your the police got upset at you for the bazooka shooting gallery in your back yard? I can't see why they would be so mad, you got those bales of hay as a backstop.

Is it because the Canadians hadn't caught Grandma yet and you found out someone gave her your address? I can't imagine who would do that.

Bill, tell me I'm right!

Dammit, Lee! You've done it again! It's uncanny the way you and Grandma keep finding me and figuring out what's going on here. Gotta move. Take care for now.

Holy guacamole Pink Girl!!

The resemblance is uncanny! Lets see, red hair ...... check! Squinty eye from spray cheese mishap ........ check! Silly grin at all times ..... check! Devilishly handsome good looks ....... check! It's a dead ringer. It looks exactly like that photo that came in my wallet! What are the odds of that?

Bill:

Frankly I don't believe you. You've always cowboyed up and taken Grandma's butt-kickings like a man. And now she is getting old and frail, it can't be that bad if you watch for those knees, but you know that. Grandma just can't rumble like she did when she was in her 70's and 80's although she still fights dirty.

Thats not the reason you are moving! You're not getting off that easy. Why are you moving?

Is it because the neighbors are still upset about last years naked midget marching bagpipe band fiasco you planned last Fourth of July? It wasn't your fault, who knew cymbals were that dangerous?

Is it because you can't abide with your home owner's association rule in the bylaws Section 14, Subsection 5, Paragraph 3, item c, which governs the percentage of bark mulch to grass ratio in your front lawn? You were always a rebel.

Tell me Bill, I want to know.

Okay, Lee, you've always been able to read through the lines on me. You're right, as usual, Grandma's butt-kickings were always warranted and I took 'em straight up, (except for that one time, of course, when she knee-capped me outta nowhere with that rolling pin in front of a girl I was trying to impress. Yeah, okay, alright, I cried....but that really hurt, bad). It's not Grandma, that's why I always live on a large body of water- I can always out-swim her. And it's not the fiasco last Fourth of July with the midgets, either. That was just a real let-down. Do you know how hard it is to get 12 bagpipe-playing true Scottish midgets together for one night without something going wrong? It's well nigh impossible, but I did it. I've always suspected that someone spiked their ale, brother, but I couldn't quite pin it on you..... As far as the homeowners association goes, the president and I are on the same page now. He wanted to talk to me about that mulch/grass/spent-brass ratio issue in the front yard, so we agreed to have a meeting in the backyard at 6:00 PM. It's not my fault that he showed up 10 minutes early and caught me in the middle of my bi-weekly small arms practice. We quickly became best friends, although he doesn't come around very much or call me anymore, but I miss that guy. So, that's not my reason for having to move, either

Is it because the collateral damage from your automatic small arms fire method of weed control?

Is it because local building codes don't allow you a big enough mailbox for the packages you receive from the Sheep of the Month Club?

Is it because your neighbor's keep complaining about the bad smell coming from the crawl space under your house?

Is it because your neighbors are afraid of you because of the bumper sticker on your car that says, "Support Mental Health or I'll Kill You"?

Tell me I'm right Bill.

No speedos! Remember, we should make our posts as if we were in Joe and Christine's living room. After all, it is their site. And we should act as guests in their home. Plus, I don't own a speedo. Are you guys saying that I need to do something special if I break the 1000 post mark?
