Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

[GwenOnBass]

Something to do with counting, mayhaps...

... the unsolved mystery is the nurses' uniform shop.

It is by the events I rather sketchily describe that lead to my christening as "La Contessa".

Helluva g-string.....

Bon chance!

.... and (nearly) completely unrelated .... Last evening I attended a virtual toast to the new year with some 40 classmates of my undergraduate alma mater. What is related is it is at this fine institution where I ̶e̶a̶r̶n̶ ̶m̶y̶ ̶d̶e̶g̶r̶e̶e̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶b̶a̶c̶k̶g̶a̶m̶m̶o̶n̶ am christened La Contessa. A series of completely innocent events begins with an invitation to join Georges on his night shift at a radio station. There is an empty broadcast room, a typewriter, an oscilloscope, a microphone, a "The Stripper" by David Rose LP, and a cursory inquiry the following morning from the local constabulary.

Aaaah!......Got the album.....You on the cover???....

If you give us all the details we can probably solve it.

If you give us all the details we can probably solve it.

I most solemnly reaffirm utter and complete innocence.

My 70s typewriting machine was a Smith Corona with a cartridge. I preferred the one-time cartridges over the inked ribbon. Much sharper imprint on the paper! Old manual typewriters are very "in" ....

I recall some machines having a white band correction tape that allowed you to erase.

I bought about 30 CDs at the Goodwill today.

Is that confirmed yet? I will repeat very briefly what he said to me about the mudshark — you will never, ever know.

Bummer. I only got to see him once with Cactus at the "Missouri Woodstock" in '74. It was an excellent performance.

He had been ill for some time. Sad to hear.

I never saw them, I can't imagine how good they must have been, they rocked.

It's sobering to learn of his passing. I found him to be a top drawer human being.

Really? You knew him?
