pps. I want the days to last forever though from now on. Well the nights too. Either one is fine with me. You know?

[Daisy]

ppps. Hey Jon, are you REALLY coming to visit come September? REALLY?

[Daisy]

Light of the Shore.


Light of the Water.

[Daisy]

pppps. Careful, I have X-Ray vision this evening. SAN! GOOD GODDDDD!

[Daisy]

ppppps. JON. Where are you brother? PlEASE STOP ME

[Daisy]

pppppps. It made my ears hurt when I read your mispelling of Tomarrow. Funny reaction. See what I mean though? Something about that low a instead of the o. Brings it down on the ear a bit.

[Daisy]

Please take me back North.

[2railjon]

Sorry, Daiszzie. I'll never ask that drunken druid how to spell a word, ever again. He's down in the basement right now with Elvis, anyhow. There's no telling what those two idiots are up to down there.

[Daisy]

It's all right

I just hope nothing comes of those two down there.

So - yyou'll hold up the south then without me? I'll hold down the north then ? IT'll all be taken care of then? (San's got the entire west no problem).

Are you REALLY coming to visit?

[2railjon]

Daissee, Trust me, the South will be in good hands. We're still kicking around a time frame of the end of September to the beginning of November. But yes, I'll be there!!!!!

White Trash Opera
Tropical Troubadors

Didn't feel like working, so I stayed at home
Did some channel surfing, on the sofa alone
I watched Bobby Flay make a chocolate souffle
Animal Planet and Our Nation Today
CMT, Game Show TV, and VH1

I watched more Gunsmoke reruns than I care to tell
Then I tuned into a scene from some Technicolor Hell
A woman in a too-tight leopard-print skirt
Called her husband a fairy and his boyfriend a jerk
And her sister's lover's mother started to yell

CHORUS
I saw in-laws, outlaws, troubles galore
Debutantes wrestling right on the floor
Screaming at the top of their lungs; it's a White Trash Opera
I saw heroes, villains, lovers and losers
Trailer-park queens and substance abusers
Everybody's singin' the blues in this White Trash Opera

Then a man in a suit, wearing a too-wide grin
Was hit by a folding stage chair right on his chin
He chased a cross-dressing hooker OD'd on liposuction
With a DVD called "Weapons of *** Destruction"
A woman in the third row said, "You're goin' to Hell for your sins!"

REPEAT CHORUS
They've got in-laws, outlaws, troubles galore…

BRIDGE
So I answered their ad, something I had to do
I'll be appearing tomorrow, and maybe calling on you

REPEAT CHORUS
We'll be with in-laws…

Everybody's singing the blues in this White Trash Opera

[San Diegan]

You've got the song. I've got the recipe.

Let's Eat Possum
"When eating opossum, it's always a good idea to eat in pairs. That way one of the two can always be watching for traffic."

Opossum should be handled in accordance with the general rules for game in the field. The blood should be drained and the entrails removed. The body cavity should be wiped clean. When hung for 48 hours, they are ready to be skinned and cooked.

Opossum meat is light colored and tender. Excess fat may be removed, but there is not a strong flavor or odor contained in the fat. Chill to firm up fat for easy removal.

If possible, trap 'possum and feed it on milk and cereals for 10 days before killing. Clean, but do not skin. Treat as for pig by immersing the unskinned animal in water just below the boiling point. Test frequently by plucking at the hair. When it slips out readily, remove the 'possum from the water and scrape. While scraping repeatedly, pour cool water over the surface of the animal. Remove small red glands in small of back and under each foreleg between the shoulder and rib.

This works very nicely with sweet potatoes.

If you like that, we can do racoon, cooter, and pone.

San, You can also avoid all that mess and just dine out.

[Tramp]

Is that in New Hampshire? Or is it a chain?

[2railjon]

Tramp, You're close. I got it from a University of Maine website. Go figure!!!!
