          Yeah, I HATE being cold. It’s really something I can say I despise, more than bugs or sunburn or any of those enviromental factors people complain about. I love snow, I love going out in the snow, but I HATE the feeling of being cold. To me, it’s suffering. I actually will start to wretch and even throw up if I get too cold. My chest just contracts at the feeling of cold wind, and I can’t breathe.

          It’s impossible to convey how much I hate to be truly cold. Even thinking about it makes me feel angry.

          Personally, I’d rather be cold than hot. You can always put on more layers of clothes when it’s cold. You can only strip down so far in the heat.

          In the heat, I pass out (literally). In 90 degree weather, I do not move.

          There’s a possibility of Eskimos in my family tree, which might explain it. The other known parts of my family tree are French(Canadian), Irish, Scottish, and Swedish. I was born and raised and still reside in Massachusetts. Which also explains being built more for the cold.

          I moved to Austin from N. California in June, 25 years ago. I thought I was going to die. I would walk out the front door and, by the time I made it to the car, I was already sweating.

          These days, we do whatever major outdoor projects we can by mid-May and then go into summer mode which means trying to avoid going anywhere that doesn’t have AC between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m.

          Whenever I talk to someone that is planning on coming to Central Texas in the summer, I try to warn them (especially the ones from up north) but they don’t fully understand until they get here.

      The phrase “a party girl of sorts” is sticking in my mind. The phrase “party girl” is one my father used to describe one of his cousins, who was nice enough but had a hard time staying married and didn’t finish college. He didn’t mean it disparagingly, but it wasn’t a compliment. The other context in which I am familiar with party girl is as … an escort or actual prostitute, e.g., “a party girl operation” as a term for a prostitution ring.
      Later edit: how did this end up up here? It was supposed to be at the end. Hm.

      And now my earworm is Elvis Costello’s “Party Girl”:

          Ah, nono! I lived in Richardson from May ’75 – May ’76 and it snowed on Xmas Eve for us. It was late when it started but almost every kid on the street had been woken by their parents to come play in the snow. I thought it was awful that the parentals didn’t want us to wake up the Jewish family because it was SNOW IN TEXAS, so what if they didn’t celebrate Christmas; just didn’t seem fair to not let their kids play too.

    She is widowed after 23 years of mariage

    Ok, not too bad.

    the one women availible to these events is a millionare

      Exactly.

      This is a scam to round up either pimps, johns, or both.

      You get paid by the number of desparate/dumb/dellided men you bring to a meet-n-greet for just the one millionairess?

      Unless the reverse gold-digger has some sort of twisted-debutant court entourage to help engage in Regency mockery of the plebes at the ball.

      Yeah, I keep wondering how old this woman is. 23 years of marriage isn’t a REALLY long time, but how old was she when she got married? Is she 43? 63? 83? I don’t know whether this thing is going to look like the Marilyn Monroe Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend act, or if it’ll look more like Gloria Swanson in Sunset Boulevard with a bunch of handsome men around.

    OK, forget the bongos.

    “The Greatest Love of All” (and I think Whitney Houston would sound great singing it):

    Here’s the Job: you need to be motivate.
    What I am looking to do is organize
    A meet and greet for singles—you will need
    To find the batchelors…there will be
    A huge meet and greet party…there will be
    Other events; I’m looking for input and ideas.

    Party girl a-looking for a hero,
    Millionaire and very attractive!
    Never found anyone to fulfill her needs,
    A lonely place to be,
    Her situation is so tough.

    Chorus:

    You will organize events, get out the word and pack the tents;
    Please don’t fail, if you succeed,
    Monitary loot will be your meed.
    The gal is kind, she’s a widow too;
    23 years married but still ready to pitch woo.

    She wants the greatest love of all
    And you can help her there,
    To find the greatest love of all,
    It’s great and fun, I swear.
    The greatest love of all
    Is easy to achieve.
    Organizing batcholors
    Is the greatest love of all.

    Would you believe me, would you meet and greet?
    Its almost that feeling that we’ve met before so tell me that you dont think Im crazy when I tell your batchelor is here and now.

    A Moment like this.
    Some people wait a lifetime for monitary compensation like this.
    Some people search forever for that one widowed millionaire.
    I cant believe she’s an attractive party girl.
    Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this.

    Everything changes, but you will organize.
    Something so great and fun you don’t realize.

    I know how to motivate you

    I know how to meet and greet you
    And I know how to tell you lies.

    I know just how to fake it
    And I know just how to scheme.
    And I know just when to discuss details
    And I know when I’ve found a meme.

    (Music wells up)
    And I know that you’ve got riches
    And I know you’ve got no shame.
    And I know you’re a widow
    And I know that it’s tough;
    I can play at this batcholor game!

    Though I don’t know how to party,
    If you’re generous, then give me a call.
    And you’ll see just how I do it,
    Making love (crescendo), out of nothing at all.

        To the tune of El Cucaracha:

        I see your Taco,
        raise it a nacho,
        da-da-da-da-da-da-daaaa
        Enchilada, in a squirrel suit,
        oooh why did you have to fold?

        (picture a family of Mexicans Hispanics playing poker and singing.)

          Answer (previous one stolen by wordpress) remains “Yes”.

          Was asked to help smite the deserving.
          This required a drive of a bit more than an hour.
          Listening on the radio, they plated Gary P Nunn’s “Macho man from Taco Land”.

          Got to the location and was taking things from the go-bag. Out fell My pocketbook copy of Poe’s Poems (not bad reading while in hurry-up-and-wait).

          Breeches complete (and not walled up with dead or injured, but there’s a couple inkjets that’ll ne’er be the same ever again), headed back to town.

          Radio plays, GPN’s “Gallo del Cielo”. (Even better, they played XCR’s “Bang Your Head” which seemed and excellent way to deal with the infestations of earworms ’round the place today.)

          Specifically, the rhyme came to me as two sentence fragments. The meter suggested itself as I wrote them out, so it was somewhat spontaneous. Ran the rest off, off the cuff; jiggling two lines to parse batter afterwards.

          Only scary part would be that, in my head, it’s a mix of Vincent Price reading the lines, and the chicken from Alton Brown’s Good Eats episode Fry Hard II (the chicken says “nevermore” as part of the schtick). Yes, like many here, the insides of my head far too often are like Warehouse 13 . . .

      I think we need a better archive. I was looking for the banana the other day, and the weird double picture ad that had some mannequin looking thing hanging out. But, I got tired after about twenty minutes of scrolling back through pages. Of course, I know little about website design, so I have no idea how big a project that would be.

    Heeeere is the job
    I am ooooooffering you
    Throw a bash,
    Make some cash,
    It’s a breeeeze

    There’s this bitch
    She is rich
    And she wants
    To get hitched
    Or at least some hot stud
    To scratch her iiii-ii-iitch

    Throw a party!
    You can do it!
    Organize
    Get some guys
    And hook her up

    (Blinded By The Light)

    (your job’s to)
    Organize the night!
    I know a millionaire and she’s looking to get tight
    Organize the night!
    She’s looking for a man who’ll really treat her right
    (if you)
    Organize the night!
    You’ll make a lot of cash if a lot of people show
    Organize the night!

    Shit, I spent too much time trying to work out the scansion for the next lines and now all I can think of is how much the original really REALLY sounds like “wrapped up like a douche.”

    (“Revved up like a deuce,” I know – still SOUNDS like douche.)
