Some travelin’ music toward the cheating side of town
Elin Woods did not appear at today’s press statement by her husband, Tiger. I don’t blame her; he’s the one who messed up, he’s the one who should clean up that mess.
But if she were to make a statement, I suspect it might go something like this, as delivered by the great Miss Julie London:
That may be the best version of that song I’ve ever heard.
So tonight’s theme? Cheating songs, of course. Broken hearts and lying two-timers.

BudWiser (frm the other post): She’s gonna rip his bank accounts open.
Reminded me of two of my favorite Robin Williams’ quotes I once read:
“Ah, yes, divorce, from the Latin word meaning to rip out a man’s genitals through his wallet.”
“See, the problem is that God gives men a brain and a penis, and only enough blood to run one at a time.”
I’m still at work, (not my building someone else’s), so I can’t post my favorite “cheating song”, but it’s from ZZ Hill, (Blues) called “Cheating in the next room”. Another one is from Denise LaSalle, (Blues, again), called “Hey Lady! Your Husband Is Cheating On Us”. Gotta love them blues……

Yeah that was sort of their trademark. I couldn’t find that one you were looking for either.
I once had a discussion with somebody about my love of sad songs. She, like a lot of people, didn’t really understand it, saying, “I like happy endings”. I said, “Well, in real life, I do too but they don’t make for very good songs”.
This is a good one by Waylon that fits the theme. A good story song.

That’ll do just fine Bosch. Though you and me are on opposite ends of the political spectrum, I have read your posts and I think that you are way above some of the other anti-religion bottom feeders that reside here. Example: “Have the Baptists been Released Yet?”. I am not exactly what you would call a bible thumper because I too am a product of the 60’s and see things a hell of a lot different than many of the religious conservatives but I do believe in something greater than myself. But “that” something I believe in ain’t no politician and I pity those that think that it is! The sailor in question would certainly give you thanks to dude. This guy is going to need all the help he can get.

I am sure but you are on the right track.
DMSO is a weird chemical that is used mostly in the wood pulp industry. It is a POWERFUL skin penetrant. Mix it with any other chemical, and it goes right to the blood stream. If you mix it with lemon juice and rub it on your arm, you will instantly TASTE lemon juice.
Well Jerry Garcia and other 60’s radicals knew of this way back then. They had a plan and they did it. It changed our history. You heard it here first.

DMSO is an industrial solvent that many people use to ease joint pain. You can still buy it at certain hardware stores. It has some limited medical uses, but ultimately it is toxic to the body. You can tell when someone has been using it due to a characteristic smell, which I think resembles corn.

August 25, 1968.
International Amphitheter.
Chicago, Illinois.
Democratic Convention.
They were able to paint this DMSO,LSD,Coka-Cola concoction on all of the stair-well guard wells, on all of the elevator push-buttons, the guard-well behind the stand, seats, etc….They were throrted from the micro-phone but there is an incidence on record of the attempt. The cotton stoppers caused multiple problems for the distributors. A typical distributor would touch the ball or spill some on him and then drop out. Some was thrown upon the police. One person died by accidently
swallowing the concoction.
There is absolutely NO DOUBT that what happened at this convenction is a direct result of this plan. I think Bill Ayers was involved. The whole story will be coming out eventually. It is a fact that G.Gorden Liddy was sprayed during a confrontation. (I don’t know why G.Gorden was there but I think he was a police or DA at the time.) My source said that Jerry was definetly involved.
This explains the Democratic Party of today.
