Star Party Thursday #325!

[RICHARD]

Since it's almost the 40th anniversary of the moon landing, the shuttle took off and the Space Station is making some passes over the United States, I think we should have a star party on the patio.

I am going to put out the telescope and make a pitcher of

Orange vodka tonics?

1.5 oz. Orange Flavored Vodka
3 oz. tonic water
1 slice orange


A nice fruit plate to hold off the hunger?


DONE!

[Cinder & Smoke]

OK ... let's turn out the porch light ...

Then Glacier, Mz Pat (Cyber-Sibes), and I would like to borrow the scope
fur a while.

There's a Team of Huskies makin a run through the Northern Lights ...
we'd like to watch for the *GLINT* of their Silver Harnesses.

Star Light ~ Star Bright ~ Won't you come out tonight?

I think we can manage a few stars for the gang!

[Pinot's Mom]

Oooh, missed this last night - I was watching food shows and my husband was playing with the new scanner...

Orange Vodka Tonics sound great! ...and the stars would be nice; we'll be camping (somewhere no one has ever heard of - Coolspring, PA) for a family reunion this weekend. I'll need the Orange Vodka Tonics for my husband's crazy aunt! :rolleyes:

Can we throw something on the grill? Something decadent?:D

[Killearn Kitties]

What fun! Kind of hard to think your way back to 1969 though, isn't it? All that excitement in the air. :D Can I suggest "Bad Moon Rising for the juke box? It was out 40 years ago just now.

Where did time go?:eek: Let me pour a drink for you?


Let's fire up the juke box!:cool:
DONE!


How many moon songs can we get thru?:D


PM,

A orange Vodka and plenty of clear skies!

DONE!

How's about a nice New York Strip steak?

Double done!

[smokey the elder]

"Moon Dance" by Van Morrison..."Nights in White Satin" by the Moody Blues mentions the moon.

And the ULTIMATE: Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd!

I'll have one of those orange vodka jobs, after the day I've been having! Thanks.

Fly Me to the Moon?;)

I was going to mention DSOTM and thought I'd leave it to the Floydians on PT!

A double orange vodka?

DONE!

[pomtzu]

Moon River - Andy Williams

Paper Moon - a lot of different artists did this one. Was Patty Page one of them?? - that's who comes to mind.

[Pinot's Mom]

"Yellow Moon" by the Neville Brothers

and a classic...
"when the MOON hits your eye like a big pizza pie...
THAT'S AMORE!" :)

Oh, and thanks for the steak, Richard, good choice!

[lizbud]

How about Moonglow, the music from the old, movie/stageplay",Picnic."

We had the clearest sky last night. Plenty of stars visible.:)
Was very beautiful.:)

[Karen]

Well, I'm thinking Thursdays is set out far enough from the city so that we can see more of the stars! I'll take a turn at the telescope, please! We ended up giving ours to my big brother, as he's further from Boston than we are. Hmm, I bet Lady's Human has the best star field of all of us (Peterson kids).

[gini]

Shine on.......shine on Harvest Moon up in the sky!!

Richard, please, a very large and especially cold Orange Vodka whatchamacallit.

I dropped by to start trouble - so look out!

Ooops, Karen is here!!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

It's also been 40 years now since I graduated from High School. :eek:

Pass the pitcher quick!!!!!!! :D

[KYS]

Count me in.
Star gazing sounds like a fun way to spend the night.
How about a tall glass of cold lemonade.

[Medusa]

If I wasn't so tired tonight, I'd get out the telescope, too. I had a hectic day and ate late, so now I'm fading. I think the strongest thing I can handle is low fat chocolate milk, RICHARD. I know, I'm a dud but I'm partying w/ya in spirit or maybe in my dreams would be more like it. Can't think of any moon songs that haven't already been mentioned but I'll sleep w/a moonstone under my pillow tonight. How's that?

[Pinot's Mom]

Thought of some more appropo songs...
Cats Under the Stars - Jerry Garcia (well I don't know that he wrote it, but he sang it)
Moonshadow - Cat Stevens
Moondance - Van Morrison

Let's just say High School is a ways away...OK?

'Nother round, barkeep!:)

Good work! High school? I think I remember something like that!;)

A round!

DONE!


Mary,

We have all week to party.

LF choco milk!

DONE!


Ugh, The 'quickie mart' up the street changed ownership and they gouge the crap out of people. I paid 1.50 for two little "juice boxes" of choco milk the other day.....I think they are about 6 ounces! ugh!

KYS,

A cold lemonade and a view to the cosmos?

DONE!

MOFF,
High school, LOL, Sooooo true!:eek:

A fast pitcher?

DONE!

Hi Ms. G.

Trouble?:D


Here's a Large Orange Tonic, ice cold!

DONE!

Karen,

I too am kinda 'star blind because of the city lights...

We can always dream, no?

Drink?


Liz,

Moonglow and a drink?

DONE!

PM,

Very good!

Steak! Everyone loves a good steak!

Pom,

Good choices!

Drink?.

DONE!


Does Billy Joel's song 'You May Be Right' count?

You may be right
I may be crazy
But it just might be a lunatic you're looking for....:D

[Killearn Kitties]

How about the Waterboys' "You saw the whole of the Moon"? Or we could have a snatch of "Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins" by The Byrds. Heard it for the first time on the radio yesterday. Let's just say it is probably the first and last time it will ever be played.

Why can't I see any stars? Has Gini done something to the telescope? She did say she was going to cause trouble.

[pomtzu]

Is it too early for a tall lemonade? Another hot and humid day in store for us here. If you're up to it, I'll drop in at lunchtime for a BLT on white toast - just a little mayo please.

I must have had moon on the brain when I went to bed last night - all sorts of moon songs come to mind this morning.

Sugar Moon
Moonlight becomes you
Dancin' in the moonlight
Moon over Miami
Moonlight in Vermont
Blue moon
By the light of the silvery moon
When my blue moon turns to gold again

[smokey the elder]

Two more Grateful Dead songs: Standing on the Moon and Picasso Moon.

[RICHARD]

Wonderful!!

I'll trade you for a drink....
DONE!

Pom,

A tall lemonade!

Doncha love when you go to sleep with thought in mind and wake up with a solution?

DONE!


KK,

I'll have to look up the Byrds tune, god know what was in the 'air' while they wrote tunes.

I think Ms. Gini has taped a paper over the lens.....Look, It says GINI WAS HERE....

That woman!:D

[smokey the elder]

I'll have another vodka and tonic, please. I actually tried a raspberry one in the Real World...yum!

[RICHARD]

Let's pour you a reaspberry one then!

DONE!

I am so exvited about the ISS flying by on Sunday night!!

[cassiesmom]

OK ... let's turn out the porch light ...

Then Glacier, Mz Pat (Cyber-Sibes), and I would like to borrow the scope
fur a while.

There's a Team of Huskies makin a run through the Northern Lights ...
we'd like to watch for the *GLINT* of their Silver Harnesses.

Star Light ~ Star Bright ~ Won't you come out tonight?

Is there any chance their sled might have some angel kitties in it? Are those stars I see or the *glint* of cats' eyes letting me know they're all right?
Could I have a coffee, please? No, wait, I'll need decaf.
