24 Hours From Earlwood... Melbourne That Is... South Of The Border... Down Victoria Way...

[waitingman]

With insincere apologies to Gene Pitney... & Earl Scruggs... & Gene Autrey...

I always hated Gene Pitney... & '24 Hours From Tulsa' is one of the blackest stains on the country music sheet. Surpassed only by 'Islands In The Stream', 'The Gambler'... & let's face it - just about anything recorded by Kenny Rogers except, maybe, 'Coward Of The County'... maybe...

Oh... & anything by Brooks & Dunne... & Garth Brooks (no relation, which unfortunately means there's more of them...)... In fact, any country music done by any idiot wearing a 10 gallon hat... except Kinky Friedman...

And rhinestones... sorry Glen Campbell, but there it is...

Anyway... back to the matter at hand... I will be in Melbourne 24 hours from now for 4 days & 5 nights... absolutely cut off from the 'net & e-mail, so those of you who wish to impress me with the best or worst that my possible future home can offer should contact Reynardo for my mobile number - which I'm not quite secure enough to publish just yet.. I may have offended some country music lovers among the readership...

Pour les autres... a bientot.

...or you could hassle Rey for our contact details.

Or even use the e-mail address in my userinfo - it's valid for a whole week more, so I might as well get some mileage out of it while I can.

As for country music, feh. Have no fear of offending this reader, because I'd barely diginfy it with an acknowledgement, myself. It makes the most maudlin of goth look cheerful...

Great... a whole lot of packing to do & now I have to make an address list!!?? And actually write something... with a real pen...??!!

You know what happens when you play a country song backwards??

You get your job back, your wife returns & the dog comes back to life.

Feh. You'll cope. *patpats you on the head*
Besides, that's what SIM cards were invented for.

Oh, and here (http://www.downstream.sk.ca/country1.htm). *grins, ducks, runs*
