Things probably happen only in imagination, like Alatin's lamp, Real **** hits the fan,

In the novel The Counterlife by Philip Roth, the character "Zuckerman" suffers, simultaneously, from dissension, contentiousness, and an obsession with irresolvable conflict.

I just found out that Spandau Ballet never wore tutus, slippers, tights, and never used a barre!

This has scandal written all over it.

A lot of people don't realize the actor who played Wilson in the film "Castaway" is the same one who played the volleyball in "Top Gun"...

Spalding said "no" for Castaway, as did M&Ms for E. T.

RAF Supermarine? Or Standard Triumph? Or the rap / hip hop artist OG gully boy from Madhya Pradesh?

Such a person is heveled.

From "Mental Floss" - Are you disgusted, disgruntled and disheveled? Well, unfortunately you’re never going to be gusted, gruntled or sheveled. Disgusted, disgruntled and disheveled are what you might call “lonely negatives.” They’re negative words whose positive partners have vanished or never existed in the first place.

I have been whelmed, kempt and plussed before... in addition to having been underwhelmed, overwhelmed, unkempt and nonplussed.

I was Jackempt once. Don't recall for sure, but maybe also Prettyplussed.

Random thought here: Never see anyone at a party bring out a guitar or around a camp fire anymore.

Nobody sings anymore...cept at a karaoke bar.

We're now in the times of recorded music, with little or no actual singing any more...maybe in showers!

Another skill lost?...lyrics and voice participation.

Had an aunt bringing her accordion to our family reunions, that was sixty years ago.

Had an aunt bringing her accordion to our family reunions, that was sixty years ago.

"Those were the days...we thought they'd never end.."

No intimate connection with the music today, wherein in the past, IT was the focus that brought people, usually kin together in a celebrated state. Today, someone goes over and cranks a knob, for background music, until someone says to turn it down!

Might have been a good thing your "aunt" didn't play the bagpipes! That is def a listening event...and ye didn't stand that close to the epi centre of the sound either, lad!

I still bring a guitar everywhere...and sometimes sing...and sometimes make a dollar. People seem to still like it, maybe the're just being polite !

Q: Why does a bagpiper walk as he plays.?
A: To get away from the noise.
