Judas Priest!  What's all this 'ere then?

Here I was ready for mandelbrot sets and liquid lights, and there's some guy in a chrome suit with a funny looking sword. In a lake yet!

I think that sewer pipe episode made you daft! ;)

Even I'm beginning to think the only help for this guy would maybe be a batch of gris gris gumbo. 8)

Hey...respect your elders. ::)
I thought everyone from the 60's still had a Gris Gris album tucked away.  :D
(I had to look the lyrics up to get the words right.)

…If you work too hard and you need a little rest
Try my utilize rub put some on my drop fix and jam,
Put some in your breakfast.

Try a little bit ah
Gris Gris Gumbo Ya Ya...

Good opportunity though to talk a bit about old american furniture.

"A HALF CENTURY AGO (1949), Joseph Downs, the legendary curator of the American Wing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, told scholars and collectors attending the first Williamsburg Antiques Forum in Virginia that as far as American furniture was concerned, little of artistic merit was made south of Baltimore."

BAM!!! It was on like a neck bone as they say in the american south land. That was a very odd
thing to say ( considering the forum he was speaking at was in Williamsburg Virginia). Frank Horton, a legendary collector, decided to open a museum with a focus on southern material culture. Frank had  friends, very wealthy friends like the RJ Reynolds tobacco family type friends. In 1965, Frank opened MESDA  and the rest as they say, is history.

I,d rather be warm, than sit freezing my b****..off,....do you remember the story i told about Avril,s Auntie...burning the Ben Hogan gifted set of Hickory shafted golf clubs,...had they not been burned they,d be worth $$$$+ today....but in the winter of 47...they served a purpose,...they along with other pieces of furniture..helped keep a family warm....Now where,s my axe.....
