Onomatopoeia

Forty-five minutes
Forty-five cents
Sixty-five agents sitting on a fence
Singing, hey brother
Look what we got for you
We're gonna rope off an area
And put on a show
From the Canadian border
Down to Mexico
It might be the most
Potentially gross
Thing that we could possibly do
Yeah, little buddy gonna get your chance
Make them pubescents all wet their pants
We'll record it live
And that's no jive.
Hold it! Stop it! No! No! No! No!
Bang! went the pistol.
Crash! went the window.
Ouch! went the son of a gun.
Onomatopoeia
I don't wanna see ya
Speaking in a foreign tongue.

Knock! Knock! Hello!
Can I come in?
Gee, that was a wonderful show!
Oh, you haven't gone on yet?
Well, how was I supposed to know?
Hey! We got a great date
It's really downtown
We're gonna get the Grand Canyon
To do the sound
It's a boxing ring
But it might be the thing
To really put you in the dough
Listen little brother, don't ya get us wrong
Why we even know the words to your song
Just say I do
And we'll lay it on you
You! You! And me! Me! Me!
Bang! went the pistol
Crash! Went the window
Ouch! Went the son of a gun
Onomatopoeia
I don't want to see ya
Speaking in a foreign tongue

Now that I've gotten that out of my system

Mucho thanks to sharkbait, for coming out to check on Rocky today.   I'll owe ya one or two for it :)

Today after work, I'm going to try to find something to soak the turkey in, and get the smoker ready for tomorrow. 

Work yesterday wasn't too bad, I was in one of the hubsites using the OTDR to record the footages on the fiber runs in case of future emergency.  I was going to go check on a power meterbase that someone stole, but one of the guys had a call he needed a hand with, so I gave him a hand.   It's a good thing that sharkbait didn't have an appointment for a haircut yesterday evening, or she would have seen me actually working.  We replaced the line to a house and I found a break in the mainline that I spliced up, and then it was off to the vets to pick up the hellhound. 

Before I go to work, I give you this  $28,000 for a sandwich?  I feel cheated paying a dollar for a McDonalds cheeseburger. It kinda makes me want to look through some of the food that's aging in my fridge to see if I can see any images on it that anyone would want to buy.  Maybe there's a moldy slice of cheese with Elvis on it.

On that it's off to work

and I will post the tales from the airport this evening, so.....

BRACE YOURSELF!!

Hell you might even need a towel!
