Can you pickle corn on the cob, after it's been shucked and silked?
Yessirree!
(I say this without firsthand experience doing it, but with the knowledge that you can pickLe just about any damned thing!)
I DIDN'T DO IT! I SWEAR IT WAS NOT ME! But I do know who did.
Oh, suuuuuuure... 
Well, whoever did, it's fantastic!!
yeah pickle rhymer, that's the title I was hoping for
When my time comes, I'm hoping for "Intermittent Dipsomaniac" ...
Can someone put up a "GROAN" smilie for Amy and 'Tails, please?
Thankee, Bill! That's the nicest thing anybody's said to me today! 
Take a bow, "Mr. Mojo". You're "risin' " around here, for sure!
I see what you did there... be glad someone doesn't show you the door(s). 
"We hope that you have many more, and this ain't your last one."
LOVE it!!! 
Ha! I often use that picture.
My missus and I have watched CG so much, we use quotes and memes from it as shorthand in conversation...
D'ya ever read ?
Man, that sounds like a lotta fun!
I'll be in Pittsburgh for about 5 or 6 days at the end of this month - alas, that will use up my travel budget for the rest of the year... perhaps next time.
OMG! Every person in my house had to come in and find out why I was laughing so hard! Thank you - all of you - for the awesome laughs! I read through this while listening to the pickle song. AWESOME-SAUCE! I really RELISHED it!
So, you mustard up the time it took to ketchup with the rest of us, eh?
Nicely done.
Glad you changed "throw up problems" to "throw out problems" in the last verse - I was gonna suggest "throw us" after I'd read it, before I listened to it...
Ha! Sweet!
Wish the vox were a little louder, though.
I say this having only listened on my ipad - I'll probably get better sound on my computer...
Torn between wanting to comply and the urge to rebel...
Must... Not... reply... Must ... break rules...
Funster - are you a hockey fan (almost a sacriligious question to ask a Canadian, but there are the odd few who don't, after all)? If so, do you follow or read Spectorshockey.net ? "Spector" is an old pal of mine, Lyle Richardson, who lives in Charlottetown, PEI, with his lovely wife... (I'm not asking if you know Lyle, just if you're familiar with the site)
(This kind of question was covered in the Corner Gas episode An American in Saskatchewan, if you've ever seen that one. And no, I'm not suggesting that every Canadian watched Corner Gas, too... )
Gee, mister mojo, I guess it appears
you're rather adept at writin' 'bout spears
(...just keepin' it Kosher - it's not my bread and butter...)
The only real problem we have around here is this one guy who lives in Florida and insists on posting pictures of beach sunsets all February...
Well, if'n I still lived in Chicago, that might get to me, too, but my wife & I moved to Northern California (her for the first time, me for the second) last October, so...
Well, I don't know about anybody else, but I can imagine a pretty sweet pickle...
Anyone catch my little "joke" in the OP subject line?
I was trying to "bold" 'Tails' name (didn't work).
And then wrote, "If I may be so bold!"
D'oh!
That one went right over my head, man...
OK 'tails,
You now you are a Member perhaps you can relax a bit
Roger
Oh, don't worry, amigo - I'm relaxed
Thanks, all !
Roger is right about my initial reticence - some boards are kinda insular (not that I thought that of yunz), and I was primarily trying to be polite and not to "stick my nose where it ain't wanted," if you can understand how I might feel about that - you'll notice that in many of the threads I commented, there was either no response to my comment (though there was to other comments posted after mine), or mine ended up being the threadkiller.
All that said, thanks for the welcome, and I'm glad to be here! I will post up a little bio, and maybe some music (once I figger out some things)...
Cheers,
Cocktailsfor2
P.S. - most folks just refer to me as Cocktails, or 'tails...
Indeed, Happy Canada Day!
I have Canadian friends (and now, another in Tenement Funster, I hope!), and I've truly envied them and their "Canadian way of life," for lack of a better way of putting it.
I've always enjoyed the time I've spent there, and often wished I were able to emigrate.
(also - GO HABS GO!!!)(also also - I'm a HUGE Corner Gas fan!)
HA!
Excellent!
What happened to the song we once knew so well?
Subject to a successful review, SRL Networks will get your music heard by entertainment industry professionals and fans all over the world, and help facilitate music licensing and distribution deals, live events bookings, record label/music publisher deals and more. You will receive a detailed agreement once your music is accepted.
"Subject to a successful review and totally NOT a fee of a hundred bucks or anything " is how that stuff usually goes.
You might take a look at their facebook page to get more of an idea, but like the others, my initial reaction is to walk and don't look back.
I hope it's OK that a newb can send good thoughts and juju your way...
Yes "Ritual - Part II" Amsterdam, 2003

Probably my favorite Chris Squire feature piece, which gives him a least a 5-minute showcase with his Rickenbacker (beginning at around the 2:45 mark), playing it in a way no one else has ever seemed to match. It's hard to conceive that any of the YES repertoire (if they do continue) will ever sound the same without him. Thank goodness for YouTube, MP3's, etc.!
Thank-you Mr. Squire for many years of great music.
Very good choice, Funster!
(Seems to me, though, that his part in this version starts to run to the "wheedla, wheedla" in some bits. Just my $0.02)
As far as YES continuing w/o Squire (emphasis mine above), that's anybody's guess - as mentioned in the Rolling Stone article I linked in the OP on the other thread, this summer tour marks the first time YES will perform without the large London native (and oh, yeah, he was a big fella - I ran into him at a NAMM show once):
In May, Squire revealed that he was recently diagnosed with acute erythroid leukemia, which would force him to miss the band's summer co-headlining tour with Toto. The absence marked the first time in the band's history that Yes performed without their longtime bassist.
"This will be the first time since the band formed in 1968 that Yes will have performed live without me," Squire said in a statement. "But the other guys and myself have agreed that Billy Sherwood will do an excellent job of covering my parts and the show as a whole will deliver the same Yes experience that our fans have come to expect over the years."
Guess it's time to pull out my copy of Fish Out of Water...
P.S. - if you get a chance to read his Wikipedia bio, note his quote about the oft-maligned and fan-polarising Tales from Topographic Oceans. (Guess it's time to revisit that one, too!)
RATS.
R.I.P. Chris Squire, the bass-playing founding member of YES has passed away from a rare form of leukemia at the age of 67.
Here is the notice from Rolling Stone
And from The Guardian
Squire's own website, chrissquire.com , has not announced it yet, but the site is being deluged with people trying to see if there is any information - it is taking a super long time to load.
Squire was a HUGE influence on bass players world wide, and a favourite of mine, as well - hours upon hours spent listening to his Rickenbacker soaring through YES tunes like this one Long Distance Runaround (and that's him doing the realllllly high bg vocals, as well!)
This video is the isolated bass track to YES' popular song Roundabout - you should definitely take a listen to this if you haven't ever done so before: Solo Bass Track
Note to mods: If this is posted in the wrong area, please move it to the appropriate place, and I'm sorry if it's not where it should be.

......will just get you into more trouble....like having that "one more to go cocktail" after the gig! Was funny though....
You're probably right.
Plus, at my age it'd just be "one more thing" (or two) to have to keep track of... heh...
