Speaking of 9 to 5.

 

Everyone (everyone) always (always) refers to "day jobs" as "9 to 5."

 

But (but) whoever actually has worked from 9 to 5?

 

I (me) have always worked (in those circumstances) from 8 to 5.

These ladies.

Person, place, or thing?

Yes... (or is it okay if i don't adhere strictly to the rules of 20 questions)

 

It is a literary reference from a long series (7 books last i checked) by an extraordinarily prolific author.

 

Slightly oblique... as it referred originally to something which wasn't batting.

 

 

 

My take...

 

It's lively and repetitive.

 

(I was noticing it too, but didn't place it until ya named it)

 

We used to play it in pep band. I am not sure if many high schools would play a song about a high school centerfold now days.

I also figured out why Addams family theme is so prevalent. It has clear audience participation.

I've never worked 9 to 5 or 8 to 5.

 

My work schedule has always been more than 40 hours. Whenever needed... I'm there... When Not... I can be gone. 

 

Post it. And if it goes awry, it's on you.

 

That's why i'm waiting til the end. 

So the Tigers actually did sign Neftali Feliz? Somebody on here predicted it. Why we didn't attempt to sign I don't know, probably strikes out too many batters for TR. Now we get to watch him dominate the Twins.

My guess is that it was cheap to license.

 

I remember I think it was in the 70's, that MLB ran a long series of ads set to Vivaldi's Mandolin Concerto in C-Major. Cannot find any the ads anywhere.

Or maybe, just maybe, as hard as it is to believe, we did try to sign him, and he simply chose the Tigers over us.

It used to be Boxing was the Sport to be followed. 

 

That has progressed to Ultimate Fighting probably being bigger than Boxing.

 

It's obvious that Hunger Games type stuff is next.

 

UFC is just awful. It attracts d-bags like flies to you know what.

I work 7-4. Really beats the traffic, both ways.

As long as it has a good beat and a catchy melody. The lyrics never matter. Blues Traveler in the song Hook said... "It doesn't matter what I Sing as long as I sing with inflection. 

 

If it's got a catchy beat... You could sing

 

"My Grandmother killed my Grandmother... One to prison and to the ground with the other" 

 

BTW... I just wrote that... No Copyright on it yet... So any of you musicians can steal it.

Like Flys to

 

NASCAR?

You could be right. But I hadn't heard anything connecting him to the Twins. We need people in the pen that can get K's and it's such a low risk signing, I have no idea why we wouldn't go out and pick him up.

Last time I checked not too many Nascar fans wear Affliction t-shirts, gold chains, and neck tattoos.

 

Hmmm...

 

Eggs Ackley

 

Loudon Wainwright III proved it

So did the Stones with Brown Sugar

That's a W! Woot woot!

Nice win. Next Gibson up to take the series.

Twins Dance Party.

 

Torii will be dancin' today.

 

 

The J. Geils Band usually fires me up. Prefer the 70's J. Geils to the 80's but yeah... they fire me up. 

 

Here's a little post-game dance music :

Bigger than a softball?

I missed that...

 

(or the edit, i wasn't payin' attention.)

um... hard to say with a literary quote. Book it is in? Probably. But if you read it by kindle, perhaps not.

 

And i feel okay leavin' it be, as the phrase "forgotten the face of his father" on google brings it up pretty quick.

 

And as for movie, there's a fan made short film on youtube i just watched with the quote in it. So i guess i was wrong there...

Got my ticket on Stub Hub and ends up it was a guy from Detroit who couldn't make todays game after last night's game. Had some fun with his buddies that are there for all 4. Baseball fans are the best!!!

 

Great game for the Twins today!!! Nice to see the hits and the team winning!!!
