  I was in footie jammies when that show aired. The good old days when my biggest concern was weather I should eat my peas strained or whole. Didn't they try to get a talk show going recently? I thought I heard a blurb about it a few years back.

    They're doing a reunion show. I heard a snipet of The Osmonds with Donny doing Down by the River. DEFINATELY rock n roll.
    Donny said a reunion show with all of them will be happening. They're just working out the details.

  Yes they were. The original band was called "The Taco Belle Mariachi City Slicker Pluckers Rythmn Method Band". Unfortunately their band bus was rear ended down south on a trip to the Cahulawassee River, their band leader Ned Beatty never recovered from his injuries. What a shame.

I hate to be a total crank about this but can ya all keep this guy in your towns. Due to recent circumstances, I'm not really in the mood for a hootenanny. I broke my washboard so I didn't have to laundry. My hubby broke all the jugs when he threw them at me because he didn't have clean underwear.

    Ummmm, I would try that..... But he's caught hairs (and once he caught some skin) in his zipper before and no matter how hard I laugh, each time it happens, he never seems to see the humor in the situation. Some people are just total cranks and there's nothing to do about it. (Shrug)

Mayor Menino sputtered on the evening news, "This hell-raising of his has got to stop before he actually does raise Hell. Already, the manhole covers are exploding out of the streets."

  Never trust someone who shows up and has 100 friends by half way through their first day. People like that might choose a happy face for their avatar and ask to join your friends list, then sink your post and give a negative vote to every comment on the string. Takes all kinds I guess! :)

    I deleted those two watch-a-muh-call-its: 'Magmys', & 'Bigpiggy' from my buddies list. Like the old saying goes: "With 'friends' like these? Who needs enemies?"
