:cough: :cough: :HACK: :cough: :HACK: HACK:!!!! Friggin' allergies!

[SeattleGirl]

I have coughed so much in the past couple of days, it feels as if I took sandpaper to the back of my throat.

Yargh! I HATE THIS!!!!

If I keep coughing like I have been, I'm going to start sounding like Rita Cosby! x(

1. Do you have that cotton wood or whatever the hell it is up in your neck of the woods?

I work in Fife, and I swear, sometimes so much of that shit gets blowing around it looks like it's snowing! Just destroys my sinuses.

[SeattleGirl]

2. Oh yeah. cottonwood, scotchbroom, you name it, we got it.

The past couple of days have been hell on earth.

Hey, check your PM in a minute.

3. I feel for you, sweetie. After all, there are plenty of allergens in

ACHOO!!

Excuse me...


And if you're anything like me, you'll be sneezing 8, 10, 12 times in a row.



Damn poplar fluff!!

[SeattleGirl]

4. Surprisingly, I have not had much of a problem with sneezing this

spring, though in the past, that has been a real problem.

This year, it seems coughing is my thing.

And I kid you not; my throat is so raw, I really AM starting to sound like Rita Cosby! :cry:

[bridgit]

5. me too, i make hubby carry those Halls cough thingies in his pockets for me...

[SeattleGirl]

6. I usually have cough drops at the ready, but after your post

[bridgit]

7. heh-heh, oh i know, i'm the stinker of yore...

8. It's your penance

for makin' me so nostalgic for the '60s it feels like I'm sittin' in a bathtub fulla syrup. :P

[SeattleGirl]

10. Surely, sir, you aren't blaming ME for the fact that you are sittin' in syrup???

ROFLMAO!!!!

I'm sorry Oedi, but that image is just too freakin' funny!


I'm gonna file it away in the ol' brain pan, so I have something to refer to when I'm having a bad day.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Please, please forgive me. I laugh not at your expense, but thank you for cheering me up!

[Oeditpus Rex]

11. Well...

You led me to the tub. I sat in it.

I swear to you, though, SG — I could cry right now. Those songs get to me in places I don't often even remember I have.

And I love it. God, I love it.

[SeattleGirl]

12. Me too. And I know you're gonna hate me for this, but I have to do it.

Not much to the video, but you bein' a car guy and all......

13. I've got that one in iTunes

I'm a total sucker for surf music, especially the real stuff, like the Ventures.

Jan and Dean kicked the Beach Boys all over the lot.

Now — how 'bout a little acid? :D

And this is some late doo-wop ('68 or '69) that I really loved. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTXqmv5O5dg

[SeattleGirl]

14. Damn you! You are bad, bad, bad!

And I thank you for that!

I lurves acid!

And I lurves doo-wop!

:loveya:

Live on the Steve Allen Show, and Dean blows it in the second chorus. :D

17. One day about 20, 25 years ago

the San Jose State radio station played every version of "Louie Louie" ever recorded — at least the ones they could find. Don't quote me, but I think it was something like 173.

Oh — I totally blew it in that last post. That was Jan who screwed up, not Dean. I was thinking it was Jan who did the high notes, but I got it backwards. :blush:

It's way past my bedtime, but I'm gonna leave you with the two bitchinest car songs in history — one by Jan and Dean... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGdLDOXyWsg&mode=related&search=

...and one by Ronnie and the Daytonas. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44kg0IENTPU

Thanks for a great night o' tunes. :hug: :loveya:
