Prayers for Herb's Dad - are requested. Well wishes are good too.
John Fogerty (of CCR fame) has a new album out, "Revival" - 12 songs, all of them really good stuff. Its a little bit country, a little bit of the old rock and rollishness he was best known for. I recommend this to to any CCR / John Fogerty Fan.
Update On Daughter:
It seems baby Job, is teasing his momma. First he's ready to go - then he backs off. The doctor said if she hasn't had the baby by next Thursday, they may want to induce labor. Oh sure! hasn't the girl gone through enough? Now he wants to put her to work in the middle of the whole birthing thang. (Job is an acronym by the way)
I am predicting next Moday sometime after 12:Noon for Job's arrival
The Future of Caption Contests here at Davemania; Your opinions and suggestions are appreciated. I'm thinking of an experimental project whereby the participants make up a caption without seeing the image to be used - in which case I would provide only a short description of said image - OR - better yet.., no description at all. The winner would naturally be the one who's caption came closest to fitting the preselected image. What say ye?
Facts You Didn't Know About Daveman and Didn't Really Care to Know:
* I was born on a Saturday in the Spring on March 29, 1958
* I am 18,101 days old - so yeah, I prefer to hear it in years, thank you.
* I am also.., 434,439 hours old! Wow! But wait - it gets worse!
* I am 1,563,980,960 seconds old!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOO! NOOOOOOOO!
Cussing Good for You? Some lame brained [censored] British professor has determined through his agenda.., I mean .., studies.., that cursing in the work place is good for you and makes for excellent camaraderie with your work-mates. What a load of [censored] !!! This dumb [censored] no doubt loves to cuss so he concocts this [censored] [censored] [censored] survey, which just has to be rigged in order to justify his desire to openly cuss like some [censored] [censored] [censored] .., I mean.
If I wanted I guarantee you I could do a study, any study to try and justify something. All you need is volunteer subjects who angle that way and you have the makings of a study. Same with documentation surveys. I could scour the internet and snag all kinds of propaganda from other so called professors or whatever - and come up with erroneous conclusions to pass off as a matter of fact. MOST Studies these days are pure worthless [censored].
Honestly - while I can tolerate cursing - I can NOT tolerate those who can not speak without swearing once, twice or more in every single sentence. Its depressing. Its negative. There is nothing positive about it unless you enjoy hanging with people who love to cuss. I'm sorry, but that is a sorry state to exist in, when one loves to curse. I used to curse ALLOT! It didn't make me happy or a better person AND it didn't improve the lives of those around me. In fact I drew allot of flack for it. Thats not a positive impact my friend. If I have to curse to make friends - I do not need those people as friends. Again I'm talking about extreme habitual cursing - not everyone who says a word now and then.
Okay - I'm done ranting now. So get your sorry [expletive]'s back to work, you lazy gold bricking [censored] people. Cheese Louise. AND SOMEBODY BRING ME A [expletive] SAMMICH! Pronto! Cant ya feel the love here, you [expletive]'s? I do. I feel closer to everyone already..., hello? hello? HELLO? Alright! Who hid my favorite [censored] people? <groan> I guess what works in the work place doesn't work in the blog place. <sigh> [expletive] !!! I get no repect.

If I ever swear, it is at inanimate objects, and I still feel guilty.
Better to put my mouth to work for good things, like eating supper, oryodelling in the bath.. |

Cussing. A perfect way for the inarticulate to get attention. |

The waiting is the hardest part...on all (beeping) levels.
I love CCR and some of JF's solo stuff. Guess I'll have to check it out. I did love it when his former record company sued him for sounding too much like CCR. |

Howard - yeah, I really thought that might be different and cool - kind of like a messed up version of the charades game with a twist. No offense to Chubby Checker intended. :-) |

Howard October 19, 2007 01:06 PM PDT
I love the caption idea. I would like to suggest no description at all. Maybe one word at the most. |

PENDOODLES - Yeah, Daugher called this morning and I placed my prediction. She told me that on the day of her labor - I said HBK would arrive at 9:15 Pm and sure enough, he arrived 9:15 on the dot.
JFZ - yeah - I get along with people who know when and where to punctuate - but not the gattin gun variety - LoL |

(CCR continues to rawk)
How about doing another plain old caption contest, and I won't enter it, because I've won one.
Then, whosoever wins the second one is excluded from the third one. Has-beens would be able to comment, but not enter officially.
Eventually, more people will have the honor of winning your Davemania! caption contest, post about it on their blog, and hopefully bring even more people here to participate in your crazy, crazy scheme.
(I like to cuss, but I do have a brain/mouth clutch)

Abby - You just think you don't like CCR. Actually you do, but you're in denial. Its true of most addicts. Trust me - I'm a genius. Sort of. Heh-heh |

LauraBelle October 19, 2007 09:51 AM PDT
Koolness ... ya know the song Lodi, well, duh ... dumb question ... anyways, I used to go there as a kid. Had an uncle who lived there and we'd go every summer to visit... so, when that song became a hit, you can guess what I'd think about. (insert smiley face here) |
