No. But I will tell you that the one year I camped at nine and c, I had a great time giving men directions to Jiffy Lube.
The person below me wants to tell me: Of course a cd called "Diary of a Violent Clown" wasn't going to be easy listening.

It would have been funny if it were, though.

Here are some songs about sad clowns. Some of them probably qualify as "easy listening." Any of them could if Zamfir did covers. Maybe blogging about a broken heart was the violent clown's first step into the abyss... Or maybe it was listening to Zamfir covers of sad songs about clowns.

EDIT: SoTP, you beat me to it. Yes, please tell me the story.

TPBM has taken trapeze lessons.

No.

I dunno. It's definitely eclectic. I can't hate, though, 'cos you introduced me to Finntroll, I think through this very thread. And that was fun. I sent links to their stuff to a particular/peculiar friend of mine in the hopes that he might play them in his car instead of White Zombie.

TPBM prefers White Zombie.

I don't think I've had the "pleasure".
TPBM recommends Stan Ridgeway singing "Behind Closed Doors."

And that's a pleasure I haven't had. Nor does the internet want me to have it, apparently.

TPBM needs to get the scissors sharpened.

nope, but I do need to go out and buy those scissors that make the zig zag cuts so I can cut the templates and finish the camo job on my truck.

tpbm learned the hard way about running with scissors held the wrong way

No, although I did make a joke to myself earlier about "falling on my scissors."

TPBM has developed some strange new habits.

Sometimes I think of them as strange, but on this board, people probably wouldn't bat an eyelash...

I have the cold. You know, the one that's been stalking the bay area, leaving sufferers on their back for days. And not in a good way. MMMMMmmmmmm, good way.
TPBM doesn't want the statement "wants to put me on my back in a very good way" and is delighted I have the sense to not use it, even if I couldn't keep myself from alluding to it.

It is a rather awkward sentence. But doesn't everyone want to be on their backs for a good reason now and again?

I should be. It's a couple of hours of putter, followed by yet anothe attempt to get to sleep.

I spent a night there once. It was nothing like how Dwight Yokum described it. But, go HSR Fresno to Bakersfield!

I prefer the term "pack rat." Thankfully, the significant other helps keep the clutter under control (mostly. In the parts of the closet he actually bothers to look in.)

TPBM doesn't like the beach because they "get sand in their hair, sand in their shorts - sand in their sandwiches!"

I love the beach! Day, night, it doesn't matter. I miss sitting on the beach in the summer and watching the sun set.

tpbm can juggle.
