Thursday's #154 - Who's knocking at the door?

[slick]

Why, it's the tax man of course, coming to collect his share of your income. I figure since we are drowning in taxes forms, a little cyber holiday is in order and since it's sunny up here I was thinking of a DOTD to take our minds of the "numbers". How about something from my back door??

Canadian Zombie
----------------
Ingredients:
3 cl White rum
3 cl Dark rum
2 cl 151 proof rum
1 cl Green Curacao
1 cl Grenadine
Orange juice
Lemon juice

Mixing instructions:
------------------
Fill Collins glass halfway up with ice. Add white and dark rum. Fill up with half orange- half lemonjuice. Pour grenadine and curacao along rim of glass. Top with 151 proof rum.

Maybe we could invite the tax man in for a drink or two??? Get him plastered enough and he will forget what he's come in for!!!!

Do do do looking out my back door .....

Oh sorry, is it not karaoke this week after all? Oh well I'll just have a Canadian Zombie then, if you please!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Wow, I think I'll pass on the pitcher of CZs, I think one will be plenty!

But one or a pitcher, makes no difference to me, bring it on! Terry sold his Corvette so we're celebrating! And the good news is, it doesn't have to leave the garage until Wednesday the 19th, so we can celebrate now and save the crying for later.

[Killearn Kitties]

Oh Debbie, is Terry OK? Will he cope? Here's a Canadian Zombie for him to help.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Well, Karen, like I say, we can save the crying until the 19th. In the meantime he's thrilled about the increase in the bank account. Of course that doesn't happen until the 19th either....but reality really won't hit until the car pulls away. Then we'll need CZs galore! Maybe one or two for me too....

But for now....

34 years he's had a Corvette in the garage...well..except for the 3 or 4 years there was a Ferrari instead of a Vette, but that phase didn't last long. He's been a Corvette guy since he got his first ride in one at 15.....and we won't mention how long ago that was.....

[Killearn Kitties]

Let's celebrate tonight then! Give us a song, why don't you?

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

How about Prince, the one where she's in her Corvette.....don't remember the name of it...was it a pink Corvette or was it her raspberry beret?

Oh well, another CZ and I'll figure it out in no time!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Here you go. Substitue black for red though.

I guess I shoulda known
By the way u parked your car sideways
That it wouldn’t last

See you’re the kinda person
That believes in makin’ out once
Love ’em and leave ’em fast

I guess I must be dumb
’cuz u had a pocket full of horses
Trojan and some of them used

But it was saturday night
I guess that makes it all right
And u say what have I got 2 lose?
And honey I say

Little red corvette
Baby you’re much 2 fast
Little red corvette
U need a love that’s gonna last

I guess I shoulda closed my eyes
When u drove me 2 the place
Where your horses run free

’cuz I felt a little ill
When I saw all the pictures
Of the jockeys that were there before me

Believe it or not
I started to worry
I wondered if I had enough class

But it was saturday night
I guess that makes it all right
And u say, baby, have u got enough gas?
Oh yeah

Little red corvette
Baby you’re much 2 fast, yes u r
Little red corvette
U need 2 find a love that’s gonna last

A body like yours (a body like yours)
Oughta be in jail (oughta be in jail)
’cuz it’s on the verge of bein’ obscene
(’cuz it’s on the verge of bein’ obscene)

Move over baby (move over baby)
Gimme the keys (gimme the keys)
I’m gonna try 2 tame your little red love machine
(I’m gonna try 2 tame your little red love machine)

Little red corvette
Baby you’re much 2 fast
Little red corvette
U need 2 find a love that’s gonna last

Little red corvette
Honey u got 2 slow down (got 2 slow down)
Little red corvette
’cuz if u don’t u gonna run your
Little red corvette right in the ground

(little red corvette)
Right down 2 the ground (honey u got 2 slow down)
U, u, u got 2 slow down (little red corvette)
You’re movin’ much 2 fast (2 fast)
U need 2 find a love that’s gonna last

Girl, u got an ass like I never seen
And the ride...
I say the ride is so smooth
U must be a limousine

Baby you’re much 2 fast
Little red corvette
U need a love, u need a love that’s
That’s gonna last
(little red corvette)
U got 2 slow down (u got 2 slow down)
Little red corvette

’cuz if u don’t, ’cuz if u don’t,
U gonna run your body right into the ground (right into the ground)
Right into the ground (right into the ground)
Right into the ground (right into the ground)

Little red corvette

Oooo Debbie, what a lovely voice you have! I don't believe I have heard that song before. Can't think of it just now anyway. Have another CZ!

[moosmom]

I'll take one of them pitchers of CZ's. I STILL haven't done my state taxes (not for lack of trying though). I need help desperately!!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Oooo Debbie, what a lovely voice you have!

Ok, cut Karen off! She's obviously had way too many CZs already if she thinks I have a lovely voice!

For some reason the tune of the song is escaping me too, but I know I've heard it....a million times or more.

[slick]

My goodness Debbie, you should be on stage...... I've been singing that song since I read the lyrics. Shall we have a duet?? Yikes...we might be kicked out of the bar.

Afternoon folks. Another busy day here for me so just going to grab a CZ and head back to work.

A big DONE! for everyone.

[RedHedd]

Ah! Prince! One of my favorites! I'll take a CNT to go and hit the road. It's NOT RAINING! I'm not sure I know how to drive in this stuff - dry roads? Very weird!

[davidpizzica]

May I have a CZ, too? I may need a lot of them when I find out what's going on with my right eye! T & P, what year was your corvette? My brother has a 1970 convertible.

[RICHARD]

Oh no....

One of the girls at work told me this story...

She worked as a cashier at a strip bar...I had the radio on and "Little red Corvette" was playing.
She got this look in her eyes and told me about her days at that job and how that was a favorite song....for the strippers.

KK,

Have you seen the US money honoring the states?

"Just got back from Illinois, Locked the front door, Oh boy!"

Let me look thru the selections.....I'll have my song ready tomorrow?

done?
