I changed jobs last year. I still work for the same company, but now instead of testing our product, Nuclear Submarines, I go to the vendors we buy products from and inspect those products before they get shipped to my company. 59 Just an Old, Broke-Down, Drunk, Bum!!

Gramps said I should like post in this thread cuz' I like never say anything in like three words or less when I can use a dozen or more. But, I gotta admit I kinda don't get the point of this thread.

Thus, I am bumping it, with the hope that others will have fun adding to the thread! Just remember that each post should contain one more word than the post before! It is helpful to put the number of words in your post somewhere in the post! This one has sixty-two!

I don't know how I'm ever going to do that!! I should probably put together some thoughts on really important current events going on around the world, or maybe give my opinion on new songs being played on the radio these days. This is going to be so difficult!

If I'd been out 'til quarter to three, would you lock the door? Will you still need me, will you still feed me when I'm sixty-four?

It peaked at No. 6 for two weeks. I was never a big fan of Davis's, but "'65 Love Affair" is a catchy ditty that still goes through my head occasionally.

I certainly appreciate the accolades. We all get way too few. I definitely like the fact that I am not the only one around here who appreciates music from the pre-rock era.

That's a lyric from Sweet's "The Six-Teens," a song about the death of Sixties idealism and the gloominess which followed in the Seventies. Not that it's likely the guys in Sweet cared about that stuff. They didn't even write the song. Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn did. The members of Sweet did write the delightful "Fox on the Run."

The song evokes the nostalgia of starting a rock band that falls apart when life intervenes. Had a band and we tried real hard Jimmy quit Joey got married Shoulda known we'd never get far Ironically, Adams, born in November 1959, was only nine years old during the summer of 1969.

Controversially, Popoff disregards the early Led Zeppelin albums, as he seems to feel that Zep didn't come into their own until the middle of the decade. Personally, I agree.

Joined: Sep 2004 Posts: 4,188 Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada According to Wikipedia (which I use from time to time). “As 71 is the least prime factor of one more than the product of the first twenty-two terms of the Euclid–Mullin sequence, it is the twenty-third term. Also, 71 is the largest number which occurs as a prime factor of an order of a sporadic simple group.” Not quite sure what the Euclid-Mullin sequence is (Hey, maybe Wikipedia would know…)

A lot has changed since then. Some old friends have stopped coming, but new friends have shown up. I am not sure if I should be getting so sappy for such a fun based thread. So for the remainder of the thread I will just write fun words. Zany. Booby. Titmouse. Lake Titicaca. Fandango. Alabaster. Kalamazoo. And that is seventy-three words. Big Dog! Big Dog! Bow Wow Wow!
