Love the poem John! (Even though I haven't seen the commercials!) I particularly like the verse about 'losing my marbles'! - very funny!

Thanks sleepwalker! By chance, did you happen to find my missing marbles! ;D I was quite proud of myself when confronted with an unreasonable query in a World History course one time. The instructor had the gall to call me out and ask me to describe the role of the czar in Russian history. Well, I thumbed through my books, then looked up and told the professor, 'I'm sorry Dr. Pavlovanine but I believe that to be an asinine query since you didn't even issue a 'theczarus' for this course!

Technicolor Difficulties
Repossession is nine-tenths of the law, you can’t fight city u-haul, he who governs east, governs west, power corrupts abs; salute me!
You could cut the knife with attention, imitation is the sincerest form of flatware, don’t chew with your mouth empty, never open wine before its bedtime.
Only cook a gift horse in the South, never talk to strangers’ dogs, cats will land on metrical feet, turtles always win by a hare.
A man’s comb is his hassle, a little yab-a-dab ‘ll do ya, don’t let you hair go to your head, there’s a heavy price toupee.
Roll out the well-read carpet, become a master of allusion, bond with a book and never put it down, read only what’s phat to Prince.
Let Marv Albert out of the can, give back Whoopi’s cushion, wear Oscar the Groucho glasses, end it with a Chevy chaser.
- Tim L. Taylor - August 30, 1999

Rock Quotations that might have but never happened.
I am all about Cherity obviously, because you know, it certainly didn't bonofit me to stay with him as long as I did.
Cher
or
I did my best to Cher as much of my life and art with the world as I could but it increasingly took so much out of me dealing with him, that I felt like anything else I did was pro bono work!
Cher
or
Well I always made a point of being cheritable but dealing with him became like pro bono work that actually cost me.
Cher
Which quote was more likely to have happened to not have happened?

Now I'll preface this by saying that I look young for my age. ;D
I was just at a local department store where the checkout lady was obviously new and had a manager in her ear. She asked me if I qualified for their senior discount as she finished ringing things up.
I kind of laughed and said 'no, but do you have a juvenile one'.
She was distracted and didn't really hear me, but it made me feel a little better nonetheless! ;D

I really do look young for my age! On the odd occasion that I buy alcohol or go to the pub I nearly always get asked for I.D which can be a little annoying, Maybe i'll appreciate it when i'm drawing my pension! ;D

Oh, and now I see were I missed using the proper metaphor with that Donovan, 'painting/drawing' reference recently. I should have said 'a little Donovan inspires me on a sunny afternoon living a true life of luxury from drawing me pension'!
