Thursday Night D.U.L.L. Getting To Know You Thread

[belladonna]

Okay, fellow DULL'ers, it's time to confess all of your deepest darkest secrets. Or if you're scared that Johnny Asscrack is listening in and you don't want to go to Gitmo, not so deep and dark... we'll start with something simple, mmmkay?

Music is harmless and we all listen to it... who are you listening to tonight? Who are your favorite bands or singers? Or that all time favorite, five CD's that you'd want to have if stranded on a desert island?

Oh, and for the smartasses who will no doubt chime in and say it's a deserted island, and gee, where will we plug the stereo in... or how are we going to get batteries for our Walkmans? This is MY deserted island, dammit... batteries grow on trees :evilgrin:

Now, fess up... go for the easy question now and prepare yourselves for later....

[bigwillq]

1. One of my favorite singers is Tracy Chapman

I just heard that she is gay. I also like Sheryl Crowe, No Doubt, 50 Cent, Ludacris, 2-Pac, Madonna, and tons of dance/techno/trance.

I cannot give you a list of my 5 fave CD's since I do not know what they would be.

I am not listening to any music now cause I am at work.

Next questions (s), please!

[Teddy_Salad]

2. Madonna? Who's she? Don't you mean Esther?

Madonna talks about her new name

Madonna has revealed why she's changed her name to Esther.

[belladonna]

4. You didn't answer the questions

:spank:

[Teddy_Salad]

10. Put that whip away, I answered the question below....

:P

[belladonna]

3. Tupac is one of my favorites

When I'm listening to rap, that is. I like just about every kind of music and right now I'm on a Manson kick, listening to a cd I burned of all of his best stuff.

I hear ya on not being able to choose five CD's, but give it a shot. We're not going to hold you to it when we kidnap you and spirit you away to our special place, really, we're not :evilgrin:

[Eye and Monkey]

22. Band suggests that your thread-title indicates the opening music tonite

Perrformance art floor-show starts at midnite

GETTING TO KNOW YOU (Oscar Hammerstein)
from: The King and I

Anna:
It's a very ancient saying,
But a true and honest thought,
That if you become a teacher,
By your pupils you'll be taught.
As a teacher I've been learning
(You'll forgive me if I boast)
And I've now become an expert,
On the subject I like most.

Getting to know you.

Getting to know you, getting to know all about you.
Getting to like you, getting to hope you like me.
Getting to know you, putting it my way,
But nicely,
You are precisely,
My cup of tea.


All :
Getting to know you,
Getting to know all about you.
Getting to like you,
Getting to hope you like me.
Getting to know you, putting it my way,
But nicely,
You are precisely,

Anna:
My cup of tea.

All (including children):
Getting to know you,
Getting to feel free and easy.
When I am with you,
Getting to know what to say
Haven't you noticed
Suddenly I'm bright and breezy
Because of all the beautiful and new
Things I'm learning about you
Day by day.
Getting to know you,
Getting to feel free and easy.
When I am with you,
Getting to know what to say
Haven't you noticed
Suddenly I'm bright and breezy
Because of all the beautiful and new
Things I'm learning about you
Day by day.

[belladonna]

[Eye and Monkey]

46. creativity in staging and costume are encouraged

as is spontaneity

[amerikat]

9. Alice In Chains and Nirvana

Two of my favorites :hi:

[Teddy_Salad]

6. First off.....those batteries are gonna be an essential item for me....

if you get my drift? ;)

Now, my five CD's would be in not necessarily this order.....

1) "Ring, Ring" by Abba

2) "Ultimate Manilow" by who else but Bazza!

3) "Vielles Chansons de France" by Nana Mouskouri

4) "Hey Good Lookin'" by Boxcar Willie and for the coup de grace......

5) "Noel" by one of my faves, The Mormon Tabernacle Choir

I bet I'll have plenty of friends on this deserted island with my choice of music, huh? :)

[belladonna]

14. With choices like that, we may have to get you an air pump instead

IF you get my drift :D

Okay, the others aren't bad, but you know my opinions on ABBA and Manilow.... I still love ya tho :hug:

[Teddy_Salad]

112. And a puncture kit!

:evilgrin:

[freetobegay]

7. The Bee Gees, the Bay City Rollers, Elton John,

Rod Stewart & the Village People. How's that for a music collection?

Ya wanna exchange music on the deserted island? :hi:

[freetobegay]

36. I always like to share!

:)

[Miss Marmelstein]

8. Hi, BD,

Teddy was fantasizing about you and I last night. Kinky isn't he?

I'm listening to Streisand's Movie Album right now and feeling romantic.

[Teddy_Salad]

13. Hey, that's not true!

It was all day today too! :P

[Miss Marmelstein]

17. Yeah?

And was it a 'short' day?

:evilgrin:

[Teddy_Salad]

Just like me. :P

[belladonna]

[fishnfla]

16. I dont think that Genghis Khan got a fair shake from history

I have issues with that.

[Teddy_Salad]

20. Maybe not but I loved his sisters music

:P

[fishnfla]

28. She is not a Mongal warrior

Her horsemanship skills are lacking.

[Teddy_Salad]

[texas1928]

But I would have to include a Christmas album. Say Mannheim Steamroller's Freshaire Christmas. I love their version of O'Holy Night.

[Miss Marmelstein]

24. Hey, Tex,

I'm so proud. I BELONG!!

:bounce:

[Teddy_Salad]

25. You fit right in, MM

Just like a glove! :loveya:

[texas1928]

38. Well we got the same welcome when we joined

My first post got one reply and then was gone. It was not pretty. I killed more threads in my first week, i made Ted Bundy look like an amateur.

[belladonna]

27. Is Strait required listening in Texas?

I won't make fun of your other choices, only because I have my own 80's issues to deal with :)

[texas1928]

33. No, but I like George Strait, lot of fond memories to the songs

on his Greatest hits #1.

[Ellen Forradalom]

[Teddy_Salad]

54. Are you crazy? You're reneging on the Nana-Meister?

Well, I never..... :P

[Eye and Monkey]

40. If I join you on DESSERT Island, do I get whipped cream and -

a cherry on top? If I say, please?

[Teddy_Salad]

But sorry, we'll need the cherries for dessert. :P

[Eye and Monkey]

42. chocolate sauce?

[Teddy_Salad]

48. OK....Chocolate Sauce but only Nestle you hear!

The other brands are far too difficult to lick off. :P

[texas1928]

50. You just don't try hard enough

Got to know how to use your tongue.

[belladonna]

52. Nix the chocolate sauce

I'm more of a honey kinda girl myself :D

[Teddy_Salad]

57. Honey huh? But which will it Bee?

Clover or Sunflower? :P

[belladonna]

59. Looks down...

Sunflower, definitely :D

[Teddy_Salad]

60. Somehow, I guessed that

:)

[Eye and Monkey]

58. And - might sprinkles be out of the question?

[belladonna]

61. That depends

Are you saying please this time?

[Eye and Monkey]

63. Yes, please.

or if you prefer "yes, please, ma'am"

[texas1928]

64. to be proper and save a beating you should say

Yes, Please. Mistress.

[Eye and Monkey]

66. I'm afraid that you've mistaken me for someone else.

You must be new here.

[texas1928]

75. Oh I forgot you are BD's favorite.

She just beats us.

[Eye and Monkey]

78. A gentleman does not indicate the nature of his relationship

with a lady. There is simply nothing more to be said of the matter.

[belladonna]

79. I only beat you

Teddy and E& M work hard for their rewards :D

[Teddy_Salad]

82. Yes Maam!

Can I get you anything? :loveya:

[belladonna]

84. I'm fine for the moment

But here, have a margarita :evilgrin:

[Teddy_Salad]

85. Oh, yes please!

I'm parched and way too....ummmmm....loose. :evilgrin:

[belladonna]

87. We'll just have to fix that

Nice jeans, btw ;)

[Teddy_Salad]

90. I'm not wearing jeans tonite

I'm wearing a kilt. :P

[belladonna]

96. In that case, have another margarita

While I go look for my trusty mirror :evilgrin:

[Teddy_Salad]

101. Forget the mirror....

Fetch the Hubble Telescope!

[belladonna]

67. I don't usually go for ma'am

But there's just SOMETHING about the way you say it that makes me swoon :)

[Eye and Monkey]

72. then it shall be a fixture in my vocabulary. And it would be a pleasure -

to catch you should you swoon, my dear.

[belladonna]

47. You'd say please?

Well, I suppose you can still join me, but I'm disappointed in ya :evilgrin:

[Eye and Monkey]

51. civil affectations have their...purposes

[Teddy_Salad]

53. Civil affectations.....hmmmmmmm?

Have you been civilly affectated today E&M?

I know I have. :P

[Eye and Monkey]

55. I'd like work to promote greater civility

I feel it's a sort of - calling.

[Teddy_Salad]

80. Well, you certainly walk the talk or whatever it is....

If there's two things I associate with you it's whipped cream and civility.

And they go well together, don't they?

I know I'm always extremely civil whenever I see the whipped cream whipped out. :P

[Eye and Monkey]

83. Well, some folks are remembered for great deeds.

I suppose I'll just be content to be remembered fondly. Or is that "fondling"?

[belladonna]

86. Fondling?

Do I need to get in line?

[Eye and Monkey]

93. Diva's never wait in line. But then you knew that, didn't you?

[Teddy_Salad]

88. I'll always remember....

you're fondling with great affectation. :silly:

[Eye and Monkey]

94. Perhaps I've raised your affectations rather unexpectedly.

That was not my attention.

[belladonna]

95. Don't mind Teddy

He swings both ways, ya know, and hey, you're a sexy guy :D

Some advice tho, whatever you do, don't get near him when he starts fondling his wombat :scared:

[Eye and Monkey]

99. I understand that they're given to that downunder. However -

I have not extended permission for him to touch my monkey.

[belladonna]

Is there a contract or something?

Do I have to sign any dotted lines for said permission? Just curious :D

[Eye and Monkey]

107. Your word and a handshake.

You may also grease my palm if it can be handled with discretion.

[Teddy_Salad]

98. Damn you, you big tease!

Last time I go out of my way to buy cherries for you!
They were $4.99 a pound you know?

My affectations are permanently affected now!

:P

[belladonna]

102. Oh fine, I'll make it up to you

Would you like to play with my whips and chains and handcuffs? Hmmm????

[Eye and Monkey]

104. Spare the rod and spoil the child, me Gram always said.

[Teddy_Salad]

106. NO!

I want my cherry back! :(

[belladonna]

108. Sigh, so do we all

But as I've said before, if I keep on at the rate I am now, I'll have MY cherry back soon enough :D

[Eye and Monkey]

109. Once lost, ne'er regained.

[Eye and Monkey]

103. Ten pounds simply wasn't enough. There's nothing attractive about -

a cheapskate.

[Teddy_Salad]

110. Excuse me!

The Cherry I got you weighs more than ten pounds! :grr:

[Eye and Monkey]

111. Perhaps they have heavy thumbs at your market.

[MirrorAshes]

43. Soaking up some Yo La Tengo

music is damn near the only thing that keeps me sane these days, and YLT is just about as good as it gets.

[Teddy_Salad]

69. Anything.

[belladonna]

70. DB? I dunno, where's DB and I'll ask her

Teddy's got the next question, it's gonna be a kinky one, so prepare yourself

[Teddy_Salad]

71. No! You always misunderstand. I said "crinkly" not "kinky"

:evilgrin:

[belladonna]

74. What did I tell you about that Saran Wrap?

I mean, you look great... really, ya do!! But put some clothes on when ya come into the Lounge... sheesh :D

[Miss Marmelstein]

89. Now I see what he means by 'short'.

:evilgrin:

[Teddy_Salad]

91. Hey you!

I heard that! :grr:

[Miss Marmelstein]

97. Oops, just kidding,

thought I could slide one by ya.

This thread is getting too long for my mexican connection. Takes forever to open.

[Teddy_Salad]

100. A bit like my saran wrap, huh?

:silly:

[belladonna]

92. Give the margarita a few minutes to kick in

Just don't sit down anywhere near him, we wouldn't want anyone losing an eye :evilgrin:

[Miss Marmelstein]

105. hmmmm,

:o

[Radical Activist]

68. Tonight: Gil Scott-Heron

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised!
I only recently discovered him. Great stuff. Very intense. I wonder how he feels about white people enjoying his music complaining about white people.

[texas1928]

1. Stephen E. Ambrose Band Of Brothers

Sorry, I can only take four because of luggage restrictions...

1) The Marxist Minstrels.... A Handbook On Communist Subversion Of Music (An old fave of mine)

2) The Science of Sex Regeneration... "a study of the sacred laws that govern the sex forces" which will teach "how to preserve and strengthen and retain the vital powers".

3) How to Defend Yourself Against Alien Abduction... This useful book explains no less than nine different techniques for defence against abduction by aliens, whatever they may be.

4) And last but certainly not least and definitely the most important for my stay on the deserted island.....

"Maxima/Optima Air Pump Manual".... A vital tome to ensure maximum use from your Maxima/Optima Air Pump.

77. 1) Les Miserables by Victor Hugo

2) Rules for Radicals by Saul Alinsky (Someone has to protest whoever gets elected to rule the island)

3) Tao Teh Ching by Lao Tsu

[belladonna]

81. Five, huh?

Big Dog's book is at the top of my list right now, as is Hillary's... just haven't had time to get to hers.

I just read Shutter Island and was blown away, so I'd have to get another Dennis Lehane book to take along in the hopes of getting that lucky again...

More when my brain freeze diminishes....

[texas1928]

113. Good night
