.. or was it a joke? Perhaps all three .. at first!
Made this one a day or two after Valentine's Day, so it definitely wasn't going to be posted then, but I'm certainly not going to wait until next year to have it up on the blog, so it's being post almost right in the middle of Valentine's Day and Steak and a Blowjob Day .. which seems appropriate I think!
And it's a bit of a tribute to ShySteffie, who I miss deeply as a close friend of mine back in the olden days of Rachel's Haven. It's not as silly as some of the captions we made for each other, but I think it carries the spirit of camaraderie many of the staff had back then. And it's straightforward and slightly steamy, but also playful and has a bit of whimsy. Who doesn't like those sort of captions?
Amish Country was fine, though it was weird to see a young Mennonite at a shop using a digital self-stitching sewing machine right out on the open, making a small quilt. That's not something you see everyday! Driving through New York was also an adventure, in a way that the movie Road Warrior was a driving instructional video! It was nice to get away for a day or two, but I much prefer my terra firma exactly where I left it!
I was originally going to highlight "I Started a Joke" from the Bee Gees, but I'd seen this about a week or two ago, and it's just a vocal masterclass on falsetto, vibrato and harmonies. I always respected the Bee Gees, but until recently, really haven't given them their due, since I always fell into the trap of 70's disco hatred. These hits are mostly from their big embrace of disco, and damn .. that is just PURE TALENT on display!
Wonderful caption! Poor Steve might be dressed up like a playboy bunny for Easter if Dee keeps it up.
ReplyDeleteGlad your trip went well. I miss when I lived in Maryland by Pennsylvania. The Amish country folks always had the best jams and jellies.
I picked up some apple butter and some fresh cider from a really nice farmers market where they grow a bunch of different apples. We stayed outside of Lancaster, PA, and I visited my first Wawa!
DeleteMy mother listened to a lot of Bee Gees so knew most of their stuff and didn't mind it on the quiet. I think it's good to revisit some groups/singers I didn't appreciate at the time and find some treats. That said I sometimes go through my CDs and think why the heck did I buy that?
ReplyDeleteHahahaha, I'm sure everyone has some questionable music purchases when they were young. At the very least, they are good guilty pleasures. I really didn't appreciate The Cure until the late 90's. Paid them no mind before then.
