Wayne’s Coating


We have some Wayne’s coating that we took down from our dining room but dont want to throw it out…all in very good condition! If you want it please email me!! Will be around today during the day and then monday again during the day/night….

I hope there weren’t any killer sheep in the wainscotting!

You know what goes great with Wayne’s Coating?

parkay floor squares


I pulled up a parkay floor where about 1/4 was damaged. However, there are
still hundreds of good squares that may be useful for someone who may need
to fix a 1950’s-1970’s era existing floor.

As long as we’re on a home improvement binge, how about these?

Antique style Panty Doors

On second thought, maybe not.

Thanks for the submissions, Ella and Sarah, Beth, and Skye (RecipeForDisaster)!

    Wayne’s Coating! Wayne’s Coating! It’s Party Time! Excellent!

    “Whoa. Hey, Wayne, what are you coated with tonight?”

    “Well, Garth, my excellent friend, this is a thin layer of margarine. I got it all over myself pulling up a Parkay floor.”

    “And what are those, like, little antique doors on your, like, groinal region, Wayne?”

    “Err… That’s a private matter, and I’d rather not discuss it. But it makes me feel pretty.”

    Re #2, all my brain can say is “Butter.” “Parka-ay …”

    Re #3, I’m thinking that panty doors are the backside flaps on old-fashioned union-suit underwear/pajamas that allow the wearer to have bodily functions without having to take off the top part.

    It’s so obvious that the last two are typos. What they really meant to say are:

    –parkway floors [squares]. You’re charged a toll to walk across them and you can’t leave the room until they provide you with an exit. In the meantime, anything you do while on them costs you twice as much.

    p.s. Square? You mean like 7 x 5?

    –Antique style Party Doors. So you can party like it’s 1899.

    I now have an image of a so-far-off-Broadway-it’s-in-New Jersey musical in which the main character, wearing an outer garment made from multi-colored beadboard, slides across a margarine coated stage, crashes into fake scenery doors which causes his circa 1950’s tighty-whities to be exposed to cast and audience alike.

          Charles Whitman attended The University of Austin Texas.
          Renée Zelweger also attended said university
          She starred in “My One and Only” with Kevin Bacon.
          Kevin Bacon is Kevin Bacontini’s second cousin.

          Alternately:

          Kevin Bacon was in Loverboy (2005) with Sandra Bullock, who lives in Austin, TX, which is a good place to listen to Willie and eat BBQ during halftime of a college football game.

          Furthermore, according to the Oracle of Bacon, Willie himself has a Bacon Number of only 2.

          But, David Allen Coe was much mpre succinct in that last verse (even if he is from Dallas, and not Central Texas).

          Lessee, KB knows Sandy; I did some work that wound up in Sandy’s house; to celebrate I went downtown and Kinky was playing; Kinky wrote the Ballad of Charles Whitman–is that five or six?

          jackie: I used to live in Austin. Back when it was cheap, awesome and I was hanging out on the streets and eating pecans on the lot of the old hospital and swimming nekkid in Lake Travis.

          Now I’m with Jim Gaffigan; taking jabs at the Waffle House (is there still one on “the drag”?) and trying to avoid driving anywhere in that town because they all drive like crazy people (and that’s saying something because I’m from the east coast).

      I worked for Tim O’Connor who is/was friend/business partner of Willie’s. The building I worked in housed the studio owned by one of Willie’s nephews and I used to chat with the studio manager. My husband did a gig with a guy who gave lessons to one of Willie’s kids. I also have known many people over the years that have known him.

      Dang. I have a lot of connections to a man I have never met nor really am a big fan of his music.

        I almost got hit by his tour bus once. As a teenager, I did a stint directing parking traffic at a state fair. Well, the traffic was coming the opposite way, so I stepped in front of the bus (moving about 3 miles an hour) to stop it from hitting the cross traffic.
        The bus driver slowly rolled the bus forward, little by little as I gestured over and over to “STOP!” As it got to be uncomfortably close, I changed the “STOP” hands to the praying, pleading hands. I think I saw Willie laughing as the bus stopped, windshield to my outstretched hands. Well, he was in the shadows, but there were braids.

        Back before housing developments ate up the Southpark Meadows, you could see the fireworks from Willie’s Fourth of July Picnic from my parents’ front porch. That’s my Willie connection.

        Well, that and my dad used to hang out with Asleep at the Wheel back in the ’70s, and I’m sure Ray Benson has recorded with Willie at some point. But I bet some friend of mine has had a brush with Willie at some point.

        In other words, I have a documentable Willie number of 3, but my Willie number might be as low as 2.

          Was a “duet” album of AatW and Willie last year; and an accompanying episode of Austin City Limits.

          Wheel owes a lot of its existence to Willie booking them as a regularly-occuring band down in Austin. And, until you see it in person, it’s striking to see how well Ray can join in with Willie’s very unique style of music.

          But, Willie also has a proven ability to meld musical forms, from Ray Charles to Julio Iglesias to Wynton Marsalis. (Still think he ought to do a gig with TMBG, though.)

      I remember my construction days in Candy Land. They had pretty loose building codes there. You could use gumdrops to set a foundation, icing to seal windows, and Fruit Rollups to shingle a roof.

      That was until the great famine of ’98 though, those were dark days, my friend; dark days indeed. The first time you see a dozen hunger crazed gingerbread men tear apart a chocolate bunny then turn on each other, the chocolate still melting on their lips, it changes you.

          Ok people, this concept has gotten so out of control (and so awsome) in my brain that it has become my project for next year’s NaNoWriMo. I’m thinking of the Genre of Horror Comedy, or maybe Silly Thriller.

          So far it will feature:
          Candy Land
          Zombie Gingerbread Men
          Chocolate Rabbits (Soul collectors?)
          Evil Peeps
          Cadbury Eggs of the damned
          The Easter Bunney as the Puppet master.
          Gum Drop Fairy (As a “Mad Max” sorta role, perhaps the main protagonist)

          I’m thinking of writing it in retrospective first person.

          What I need from everyone is a title. I’ve been rolling several permutations of “Candy Land” through my head, but nothing really sounds right.

        When you die in that movie, you end up at the gates of the Big Rock Candy Mountain.

        Geez…how do you sleep at night? “Make the dreams go away.”

        ok, hugely perverse (yet typical for here) synchronicity; was reading about “grossest packaged foods ever” which included “all day breakfast.” This was a British Full breakfast in a can, which included “egg nuggets.” That latter item making even my mind’s eye roll more than the least bit . . .

          CapnMac: Just threw up in my mouth a little (or if you prefer a Britastic version, given the source material: did a bit of sick in my mouth), there.

          In fact, that’s so horrifying that I may, later this evening, coin the phrase, “Can’t sleep, egg nuggets will eat me.”

    I’d like the Wayne’s coating, but I can’t do it today, and, sadly, I never go out during the day/night. Day, yes, night, yes, but I avoid the in-betweens.

    Not panty doors, fool—panty-drawrs. And no thanks; if I wanted a pair of panty-drawrs, I’d go with Danish Modern.

    I got really scared for a moment because pic #1 looks exactly like my parents dining room and they’ve been talking about a massive remodel. Then I remembered that my dad simply calls it “wood” and he would never give away any wood that could be repurposed into one of his woodcraft projects. Though I could see my mom talking about panty doors…

    What exactly is meant by “antique style”? Are they carved of stone, ’cause that would be on the far side of uncomfortable.

    And does anyone else wish they had not spelled “antique” correctly? That would have opened so many more avenues of snark.

    EEK! Eek! I say.

    Now in reverse order, corey-snark.

    One feels compelled to ask (even in great, knowing, reluctance) are those new or used antique panty doors?

    Everything about reading everything after “parkay” floors invoked childhood memories/trauma from the Fleishman’s exploding crown tv commercials.

    Worked with a person who had some sort of “tic” and could only write out wainscot as wanescoat. Which, if we are writing construction specifications can be bad. “Wane” is bark left on lumber after it is baulked from its parent timber. Wane is not good, as the fibres which hold the bark to the sapwood are weaker than either the sapwood or the bark itself, which means one can never know when that bark will “shed.”

    Not the stuff of which high-quality wainscoting is made (or specified).

    Ugh, just heard a whisper in my head for horrible puns based on how Arts&Crafts wainscots were “fumed” to give them a permanent chemical stain.

    “Will be around today during the day and then monday again during the day/night….”

    Ok, I realize we live in an immediate sort of age. But it just struck me that the folk who were just finished with doffing Wayne’s Coat were making an assumption that there were assuming that people in need of removed woodwork would be lurking about CL for the next 24-48 hours.

    Now, as a habitué of several remodeling and construction fora, I have seen this phenomenon a time or two–this perception that there are numbers of folk just waiting to see a posting pop up.

    makes me want to cry in my butter . ..
