Shotgun
Your baby's got one
Trouble, love trouble, love trouble, love that trouble

Pump-action Mr. Jackson
I was cocked and loaded
Woke up in the morning
Both my barrels smokin'
Buckshot, salt rock, and climbing up a ladder
Windowsills and doctor bills
And she keeps getting fatter

You in trouble boy
You better run
Here comes your woman with a shotgun

Shotgun, shotgun, shotgun
Trouble, love trouble, love trouble, love that trouble

Got a plastic West Virginia truck stop cowboy hat
You cannot buy true love, but you can shoot its ass
Pawn shop, package deal, and shotgun in the rain
Pink eyes, hot rice, and let the angels sing

You in trouble boy
You better run
Here comes your woman with a shotgun

Was at an outdoor SCOTUS gig some years ago and a buddy of mine was hit in the eye by a surface-to-surface fired chicken wing, I received incoming fire from a blob of pudding. We went off to the emergency tent for little eye wash and got that taken care of. One of the guys started flirting with a nurse in the tent so we got thrown out, on the way home we stopped and bought a case of cheap beer then got a flat tire. We did eat the offending chicken wing.



Didn't now the Supreme Court folks got that wild.  The SCOTS on the other hand...

As a recovering Cracker, I should like this song more than I do

One of the greatest lyrics of all time - Would you mind putting on that fancy dress while you eat that snack cracker....

If you are a male, it says it all.

OK, Buzzardcheater, you opened the door to my current gut-bustin' favorite joke (Parenthetical: I heard on the radio that GWB or some staffer said that the incident was not fodder for jokes or for political advantage-taking. Please, what else would he want it to be? He should be happy if it stays at those two attitudes! They could be facing arraignment and calls for the VP to step down!). It was a cartoon in which a newsroom reporter or editor in the bullpen is calling over to a managing editor in a private office, so that the latter cannot be seen. The former calls out, "Wow, the vice-president just shot a lawyer!" The latter calls back saying, "I can't believe it! Is there nothing they won't do to improve their approval ratings with the public?" I loved it loved it loved it. I told it to several strangers on the way in to work. I especially enjoyed doing it in an elevator where they were all trapped into listening! It felt almost as good as eating a chocolate cookie with dark-chocolate drops in it. Wonder whether Mr. Sourpuss will *ever* smile again now. I wish he had been *roundly* censured for using expletive language on a Congressman in the halls of Congress. If he was ever an elder-statesman wise type, he must have started on a downhill slide. I cannot hold a brief for people who are mean, and that trumps any political views I might agree with! Can I write all that here?

Too bad it wasn't a warm-up to Handcuffed to a Fence in Mississippi.

Love, Love, Love SCOTS! I know they're a bit cheesy, but the occasional cheese can be a good thing.

This came on and I just figured it was a comment on today's current events: the Vice President's hunting mishap (AKA "Cheney's Got a Gun")

This is sick, I know. But its true. They make me think of what if the B52's would have sounded like if they were from the deep south. And that's not bad. Cool song And that album cover. I wish I'd shot that!

Yeah, but not sure I'm such a big fan of any of them...oh well, that's one nice thing I guess about RP, something for everyone

These sweet lyrics caught my ear: "You cannot buy true love But you can shoot its ass" No truer words were ever spoke (with a Southern accent!)

I just changed my rating from a 7 to a 5. I guess it doesn't stand up to multiple listenings for me.
