Re: Proper spelling

Since the Junior Gyrene has had a new "nick-name" applied, we 
must now discuss the proper spelling of that name. In the past 
there was a lady entertainer who went by the name of "Tootie".
Currently, here in Oregon, there is a lady running for a seat 
in the State Senate who also goes by the name "Tootie". I would
surmise this to be the feminine spelling of that name.

We have seen pictures of the Junior Gyrene in his Bomber
"jammies" which may leave some doubt in some minds as to his
orientation. But, other than those pictures, there is no concrete
evidence to back that theory. Consequently, those who wish to call
him by the new "nick-name" should spell that name with a final
"y" (e.g. "Tooty"). This should separate him from the rest of the
field.

Further comment on this subject may or may not be necessary.
Discuss.

Re: Paul Revere (RIP)

My daughter sent me a YouTube video this morning. It is almost 11
minutes long and what I liked about it was about 2/3 of it were
not of music, but of Paul Revere's antics between the songs. He
talks about how albums are not the same as they used to be and
shows a CD. Then says that a DVD is different than a CD and shows
one and says, "See." I saw him do something similar long time ago
(when you're my age and you say long time ago people know that is
really is a "long time ago"). At that time there were no DVDs, and
certainly no flat screen TVs. He talked about the long boxes they
came in so the retailers could use the same shelving they already
had for the LPs. He said something like, "I don't know why they
put such a little record in such a big box, I guess they don't 
want you to think you're getting screwed!"

He says that he went in to buy a TV. He asked for a GE. The kid
says they don't have a GE, they have an LG, which is also a HD,
but it is also a LED and it plays a DVD, and in 3D. Raul Revere
really knew how to put on a show!

I have seen him once with an Edsel front for his keyboard, and
twice with the front of a Mustang. I have never seen it, but I did
find a still photo of using a Nash Metropolitan for the keyboard
front. A Nash Metropolitan, now that keyboard must hold a special
meaning for out Sandstorm Barrister.
