Duane is saying "Here man, shake this hand..the other one will give you uncontrollable super powers.."

"..or maybe it was this one..."

J. Geils is saying to himself, "Duane frickin Allman..I am shaking Howard frickin Duane Allman's
hand..and I'm wearing a Toughskins jacket..!!"

I was wondering about those extremely uncool threads. Toughskins! LMAO!

Owen wins! What'll it be, man? The Toughskins Jeans for the More Mature Gentleman? The H & H 15-Minute Meals, hardcover? Or..rummages... Maybe the Eat a Peach Healing and Soothing Lip Balm?

Damn.. When did we get a virtual smorgasbord
of Skydog Starla goodies ??

I'll have the Eat A Peach Healing, with a side order of hardcover, (whatever THAT is..)
and go ahead and give me the Lip Balm deal too.. !!

;)

Ok.. so I'm off to the wedding rehearsal ..

Since I won't be back for a while.. I won't be mean
and leave you hanging. It would probably be after the SEC game on Saturday, before I checked to see
anyway..

It's my eldest daughter's wedding on Saturday, at
Leu Gardens in Orlando..right at kick off time.

Her name is Dani. She is the bomb. His name is Matt. He is the luck dog. They are moving to Wheeling right after, they have a new job.
(they're preachers...)

Lucky Papa!
Don't forget the Eat a Peach Healing and Soothing Lip Balm, SPF 15! You'll need it because of all that kissing-of-relatives you'll be doing.
The hardcover H & H 15-Minute Meals makes a nice wedding gift too. I won't tell anybody you're regifting it. lol

I ain't kissin' nobody but my sweetie..not with the pig flu killing off millions of un-indoctrinated
..you know what I mean, people out there..No way.

I already shook more hands than I want to.

Some people I call Kissing Bandits. It hardly seems to matter who you are or what might be going around, if they're at a family function they want to grab anything that looks human and plant a wet one on it. I experienced this over Thanksgiving with Dustin's relatives in WV. I don't mind hugging his parents or brothers and sister, but I kind of did mind being grabbed and manhandled by family friends I'd never met before. I was tempted to fake a big sneeze and break somebody's nose with my head. I'm just not used to that kind of indiscriminate touchy-feely. Maybe it's a cultural/regional thing cause you sure don't run that risk when you visit my relatives, not if you aren't very close with them.

Yeah.. people like to hug my wife also..

It's hilarious.. She is very, very 'no touchy'.so it makes for some pretty amazing situations.
She has been followed home (attempted) at least a dozen times..and 'accosted' in public almost continuously..and she is in her forties.

It's like..she has to watch it if someone holds the door for her ( I do it all the time..and I never try to get a feel) and almost invariably they want to put their hands on her.

She has a CCW, and uses it..and has had to point that out to a couple of people.

I'll put it this way..if you're hot, you can't really be a 'hugger' in mixed company unless you just like that sort of thing.
I don't know if you're 'hot' or not..but my wife is, she always has been..and she probably always will be.

I know I'm lucky..that's beside the point.

You'd be surprised at how many guys turn into
total pieces of shit at the drop of a hat.

Well.. I am wiped out. I worked last night, I work tonight..and it's my mother-in-law's birthday. Tomorrow is wedding day..and SEC game day..

night night

The kind of hugging I'm talking about is not the kind that has to do with hotness. Unless little old ladies and soccer-mom touchy-feely types find me hot, which if they do I've got serious problems. The people who want to grab onto me are probably the people that run up to pregnant ladies in the store and try to pat their tummies. (If I ever got pregnant and somebody pulled that on me, I'd probably bite them) ANd after the baby is born they are the ones that fawn all over it and try to kiss it. (I'd train my baby to projectile-vomit on such people.)
I also get handled a lot because I'm "kid-sized" and some people think that kids or anybody that size are in the public domain.
It's funny, you try to teach your kids early on that they should say no to touching that makes them uncomfortable, then you have these adults, almost always perfectly innocent, who seem to have no concept of boundaries or personal space.
And you try to teach them not to make personal remarks about people's appearances, then you have adults that go "Oooh, you have such long black hair!" (Well, thanks for the bulletin, Captain Obvious! If you hadn't pointed that out I would have kept right on thinking I had this cute blonde bob.) What makes it worse, is that many if not most of the adults who do these things are not "Generation Xers' or even "baby boomers." They're older than that and were supposed to have been raised a little better. Go figure.

Duane appears to be pondering the complementary nature of Mr. Geils facial hair to his own.
"Together, it would form one full beard...whoa."

Did anyone watch the R&R Hall of Fame concert from Madison Square Garden?

Right before Aretha went on, there was a little photo montage from the old days......including one shot that featured a skinny white boy with stringy redish hair.

I had never seen that picture before.

Did you see it Donnah? I might be able to transfer it from the DVR.......

Send me it, Mike, please. It's possible it's one I already have, but if not then I def want it. Thanks!

Will do.

Hookhead, I hadn't even noticed that J. Geils had a hairy chin and clean sides. The 2 together really would make a whole beard! LMFAO

That's too freakin' funny about the beard(s)!! LOLTTM

Duane looks the same as he does in that pic with Berry where they're outside leaning against a railing or something & I think Duane has a Coke can in his hand. I wonder if this is the same day?

Great pic Donnah. I don't remember seeing this one before. Thanks!

If it's the same day, would it be before or after he drank his Coke? No way to tell unless you got close to smell if he had Coke Breath. lol

Somebody knows! If the J. Geils pic was at night, then it's after the coke pic which was taken during daylight. J Geils may very well have smelled Coca-Cola on Howard Duane Allman's breath.

Donnah.......are you there?

Thank you, sweetheart! I love it! And yes, it's one I do not have.
You're a piece of sugar, Mike!

;-)

Completely off-topic but...
It's snowing! Been snowing since maybe five-thirty! Yay!

Don't think they were doing too much hand shaking here. What with the smelling of breath and all. I think J. Giles might have smelled Jack Daniels green lable mixed in with the coke-cola. Boy am I late. Can't wait to see the "new" find from Mike!

Thank you Donnah from Ms. day late and about $10 too short this week.

Wail on, Skydog!

Should we offer a booby-prize to the last responder toa pic? Hmmm.
Maybe a vintage Coca-Cola sign? Like the one I'm going to have in my old-fashioned-diner-style kitchen when I wint he lottery.

Some David Lynch trivia: He once shared an apartment with Geils' bandmate, Peter Wolf.

That's why they call it trivia!

Thanks for another great pic, Donnah.

Starla, I will take anything you've got in the prize closet except....boobies! Those I don't need, now Mike,csason or maybe even James might like those, but I have a couple of my own ;)! What else you got for slow pokes?

Hope the wedding was beautiful and you didn't cry too much csason.

*rummages* I've got the Coke sign, a really neat coffee mug that has a picture of the Alps that appears on it when you pour hot liquid in..some glittery shoelaces...a Magic 8-Ball where all the little messages are in German...a mini-pink flamingo that can go into a houseplant pot...
You sure you don't want the giant gel-filled boobies (actually a bra) that I wore two Halloweens in a row? When I went as Beth and then Jessica? Guys? Like to try them? They are surprisingly comfy?

Will they make my butt look smaller?

No, but they may give your crotch that "Al Gore" look...

They won't make your butt look smaller, but everybody will be so busy looking at them that they won't notice your butt at all., and anyway, they won't want you to turn around. And they make your feet disappear entirely when you wear them.

ROFLMAO...ya'll remember Toy Caldwell? We have a DVD of Marshall Tucker and I call it the thumb/ball video. csason's comment made me think of that so blame him! If the global warming fiasco keeps up it may be proven Mr. Gore doesn't have any (balls, not Starla's gel-filled boobies). Gives a whole new meaning to the "I be gelling" commerical doesn't it? Sorry, Skydog says, "No politics in Cracker Land"!
