Thursdays #40 - Hard Day's Night

[slick]

Feb 9, 1964 was when the Beatles first made their television debut on the Ed Sullivan Show. I was one of the many "chickadees" that screamed in my living room that night.

Let's drink to John, George and Linda. May they RIP.

On with the party. I've got my original LP Hard Day's Night and invite you all to bring your vinyl.

Are their any hairdressers in the house??? Beatle haircuts for free!

[lbaker]

Whatever the DOD is, make sure it doesn't need cherries. Catland reminded me that Mario ate all the cherries last week. Let me make a quick stop at the store and pick up some goodies! also the 5 & dime to pick up some balloons hehehe (hmmm, do they still have 5 & dime stores?) Be right back.

[RICHARD]

i am working today.....i hate work....

i hate work



Did I say I HATE WORK???

[catland]

vinyl? How about Sargent Pepper? I'll wear the a groovy Nehru jacket and put some flowers in my hair. I'll bring my Lava Lamp from home.

I remember good old Ed too. and the early Beatle's 45's like "She loves you" and "I want to hold your hand" - and to think they were scandalous for their time with their oh so long hair.

Hi slick, where is willie hidding?

[lbaker]

oops, she must have heard I was going to the store to pick up balloons.. she's probably picking up her slicker from the cleaners or something. Or maybe she's here but just being invisible Slick, you did mention guts and I was thinking about Steak & Kidney Pie (veddy British you know) but the thought of preparing animal organs just makes me want to hurl I'll think of something else by tomorrow. YIKES! one week from today and I'll be in Seattle!

Sure they do, although they're called DOLLAR stores these days.

I was never really a fan of the Beetles. I did enjoy the Ed Sullivan show though.

Feb 9, 1964.....hmmmm....don't remember much....I was just about to turn 2, so I guess I was thinking of ways to terrorize my mom for a whole year.

That DOD sounds yummy! I'll have one of those - no cherries please.

And yes, Richard, I heard you and I HATE WORK too. We'll have to have a I HATE WORK Thursday one of these weeks.

[slick]

T&P: One DOTD DONE! Hold the cherries and the guts
Nice balloons Laurie. When the bar closes we can have a balloon busting contest.

That reminds me of when I was little; my friend and I stuck balloons up our T-shirts to see what we would look like all grown up. Funny how some things never turn out the way you think

[trayi52]

Here we are, Mario and I have both arrived. I have been hiding at the doctors office today complaining with my poor, poor foot. Don't broke bones ever quit hurting?? Its been almost a year in April!

Richard you did slightly mention that you hated work, but just slightly.

Today is my oldest daughter's Birthday, she is 29 today. I stopped off to pick up balloons her husband had ordered for her, there was 5 balloons, now there are only 4. One of them escaped and is now flying somewhere over Tennessee! Let me know if any of you see a purple balloon flying over your house, I kind of doubt it will stay in Tennessee, you will know it is the one I lost!!!

I'll take the DOTD and give Mario a beer. I don't care what kind of music you play.... Anything will do!!

Why do we all look like this when we come in here? example

[momoffuzzyfaces]

I'm having a super duper big hot chocolate here in snowy Kansas. I'm thinking about making ground hog stew out of a certain rodent who lives in PA! (Just kidding, Phil, you are safe from me. It's not YOUR fault they wouldn't let you sleep and insisted on dragging you out and waving you in the air. Good thing for them you aren't prone to air sickness, huh?)

Sorry, this snow has me wound up!!!

[catland]

Believe it or not, "Magical Mystery Tour" is playing on my radio right this very moment.

Tray - I think I'm a little too far away, but if I find the balloon, I'll bring it here.

T&P - on some level I can relate - I had older cousins who all thought that the sun rose and set on Elvis and I could never see the attraction.

I turned 8 in '64. OMG - that means I'm going to be 48 this June.

[Nomilynn]

Today is Nathan's (Lirathal) and my six year anniversary Champagne all around!!

[dukedogsmom]

Happy Anniversary! 1964 was a good year for me, too. I was born. I don't have any vinyl but I've got a double cd of the Beetles that you're more than welcome to use. And, that DOTD sounds really good. I'll take mine with extra cherries please.

[captain]

Lirathal / Nomilynn - Happy Anniversary
