[she says in a considerate whisper... (yesssssss...)]:)
so back to Shiner's picture of last night, a house with 30ish young men and some old farts like us... smattering of young'uns.
the young men are playing this new phenomenon, something called rock band? [learn a real instrument, already, then i'll be impressed]
they are jamming away on all these songs that i've heard but don't really 'know'...
o, then Blasphemy. they start playing ozzy, metallica, bon jovi, boc, et al, and slaughtering the lyrics and the timing.
i can't watch.
then there's a large movement to the 'spoons' tournament, and suddenly it's only three guys and me, sitting there staring at the tv screen where the game is loaded.
i pick up the mike. [y'all, this is really something. if you think i'm scared of playing in front of people, singing is a whole nother category]
i ask the one to my left...
'hey, couldja load up boc?'
'who?
[sigh]
'don't fear the reaper'
'o, yeah, ok'
i got a 97.
booyeah. put the mike down after blowing the smoke off it and called it a new years. :beer: :pancake:
Happy 2008 to all my Fretter Friends!
