I don't have a TV, so what will I do all Saturday night?

Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody, I got some money 'cause I just got paid, how I wish I had someone to talk to, I'm in an awful way

Huh, I think I know that song from someplace.

Um, there are some Chapman brothers' short cartoons that my brother and I like to watch where they add a new one every week pretty regularly. *shrug*

That song is Cat Stevens http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ums-yS0mgH4 (speaking of youtube...)

And it's a fine chance to catch up on my reading.

His name is not Cat Stevens anymore, mores the pity cause he made some great music. Talking of which, my Son in Law, Darren, thinks Air Supply are an American Band, but they are Australian. Anyone wish to shed some light on this matter?



Steve, with an in hand

His birth name is Steven Demetre Georgiou anyway - the song is by Cat Stevens, even if he *now* calls himself Yusuf Islam.

Madness on hootoo, Lil starts a conversation piece on hootoo downtime and within three or four postings, we all go off at a tangent. Are we clever or just an unruly tribe?



Stephen

I still say we need an smiley against topic drift

But thats the beauty of hootoo. We can wonder off topic as we please, and end up wherever we please....

For example, you sent us a bunch of convicts in 1788, so we returned the compliment by sending Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan to you, and Clive James as well. It raised the IQ of both countries.

American bands tend to have a different sort of whimsical name when they go for that approach. I don't know by sound but I know we've got one called Weezer maybe.

Perhaps he is confusing the two?
Then again, might not even be the same genra so nevermind.

>>you sent us a bunch of convicts in 1788<<

I'm keeping well out of this, I'm in Germany

Thanks, lil

And here is one someone prepared earlier!

Hiya Malabarista, which reminds me of another thing. Here in Australia, there are many job opportunities, among which is a position called Barista. It's a fancy name for someone who can operate a coffee machine where you can get a million types of coffee, but never a spoonful of Nescafe, one sugar, and milk. Go figure, as the Americans would say

Nice anchor, Mazin

Stephen - "Malabarista" is Spanish for "juggler" but it literally means "bad waiter" - I love that, you can just see how the word developed, with someone dropping everything

I'm confused

What's this thread about?????
