...so looking forward to a major drop drop off of emails tomorrow. (finally).
I'm assuming Mystarra meant the "Private Eye" kind...
My friend used to think the line was "Checks for free"... Like free checking if you have a lot of money in the bank.
There used to be a funny desk calendar where each day had different "common misinterpretation" of lyrics from popular songs.
Some were pretty funny... None were as messed up as my deliberate ones.
Back when I was a kid, if the album didn't carry the lyrics in it somewhere, I used to go to a local record shop and look for the sheet music which usually carried the lyrics too... But it usually took months for even popular songs to show up. Until then everything was open to interpretation or guessing.
Today you can google "lyrics to..." Just about any song and get the words.
Except "Another One Bites The Dust"... By Queen... To this day I still don't know what Freddy Mercury utters that sounds like "I'm not adopted" near the end... Even fan sites which include that utterance just say "(unintelligible)".
Regarding unintelligible lyrics: Try wrapping your brain around opera lyrics. It's all Greek to me.
Well, possibly German or French or Italian or Russian or sometimes even English but for the most part, regardless, it's gibberish.
The female voices moreso than the men. How in blazes one can be expected to understand mushy, soppy, Country Westernish level of personal drama blather while being sung amidst warbles and screeches is beyond me.
I even know an opera singer, nice person but she's got this thing about being proud of her warbles & screeches and even teaches others to do it. 
That being said, I admit that there are some (i.e. few) good songs (mostly without warbles & screeches) in opera that if you ignore the lyrics have a beauty in the sound that is independent of words.
Complaint: Regarding warbles and screeches. Only the very best singers should even try it. There are far too many female pop singers who've made a career out of gargling marbles badly on the radio to the undiscerning millions. My opinion is that if the music shows a C# note, then just sing it, d*** it! Don't try dancing around it. You're just being a poseur and are liable to hurt yourself.
Since I got adobe cc, I need to check out the programs I got other than just photoshop and audition, but right now adobe is updating. It is at five percent now. Ugghhhh!
The spot I am at sucks for using my notebook. It is in the shade but I am not so I am being reflected on the device which makes it hard to see the screen. I wish there was an outlet in the food court of this mall.
chicks?
chicklets?
Especially for LG
Some places go overboard with USB outlets... A couple of days ago my wife and me ate at a newish restaurant that is near one of the Fire Island ferries, during the summer places like that are crazy overcrowded with the beach/Fire Island visitors, but we finally got to check the place out because off season they are reasonably accessible. This place was definitely geared toward smartphone users... Our table had four electrical outlets and about ten randomly placed USB ports... It was a six person booth, but even the two person bar tables had multiple outlets... There were USB ports everywhere including all along the length of the bar and in the bathroom (ladies room, according to my wife). I'm not sure who charges their phone in the lavatory, but I really don't want to hold it when they show me pictures.
Oh no not Florence Foster Jenkins
When I was a kid, one of my best friend's father was a very skilled musician who lived and breathed classical music (in fact if it weren't for him I'd probably never have gone to an event at Lincoln Center)... One day when I was over at their house, (along with three other friends) he had some PBS show on that was playing a fairly obscure opera. So one of his daughters jokingly commented that the opera wasn't so great because they were basically just having a conversation in operatic tones in Italian and if regular people did that in English it wouldn't be so special...
His response was something to the effect of "its more complicated and difficult than that"... To which my friend responded in an operatic tone "No, you see... it's really not... We can have conversations like that too..." And for what was probably the next hour or so the six of us (kids) and the mom only conversed as though it was an opera. The girls were all very good singers and I'm ok, so it actually wasn't horrible, but it was pretty funny for a while.
The dad was genuinely impressed that we were able to keep it going so long.
Yeah, good stuff. Particularly the lyrics.
Much like Rachmaninoff's "Vocalise" Which is probably one of the most beautiful songs ever written and sounds equally beautiful with voice, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fW630zFA93Y
or played by a violin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwGmHZ8XgeU
or even theremin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xqExxtwx40
Sam Johnson or Tristan on Youtube should do a react video to Florence F. Jenkins!
Hamster! A dentist! Hard porn - seven sequels! Warrior! This eyeball! In me - The Fishmaster!
OooooOOOoooooh you'll be rek't. Ooooooooh L'Ooooooreaaaaal.....
I am trying to reach Adobe support with not much luck. I got a question, but it looks like I cannot get it answered right now. Only Adobe can answer it.
Why is it when I have little time to get a hold of someone, they are not available?
How about the lyrics-less singer in this from Cirque du Soleil: "La Nouba" show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PHDBwlL8cw starting at 41:25, or 1:24:25 (and several other places).
I have to add... If you ever have an opportunity to attend one of the big Cirque du Soleil shows that have permanent locations in specially designed buildings, don't pass up the opportunity. The smaller travelling shows are OK but the really impressive stuff is at the big permanent shows. "La Nouba" was in Orlando, Florida until it closed at the end of 2017 but the building is still there and will probably have a new Cirque show soon. https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2017/12/new-cirque-du-soleil-show-in-development-for-disney-springs/
PS: Splurge and get the good seats down front. There's nothing like picturing that the gorgeous, sweaty, hunk on the bicycle bouncing vertically on it's front tire at the edge of the stage is going to land in your lap.
Now to go to work.
i'se scared to cross johnson avenue, is busy 5 .lanes. i feel like death race 2000 crossing with my walker. but i need change for the bus.
Non-complaint: Trying to clean out old canned goods and empty refigerator of oldish stuff. Made a big casserole dish of "scallaped potatoes & ham".
Half pound of ham, one medium onion, half dozen large potatoes, small can of mushroom stems & pieces(drained), 3 cans of condensed Campbell's mushroom soup, flour, Velveeta cheese, 4 or 5 ounces of milk.
Pre heat oven to 350F. Hand mix soup paste, most of the milk, diced ham, chopped fine onion, mushrooms in mixing bowl. Clean thoroughly (don't peel) potatoes and slice thin (1/8 -3/16 inch). Grease casserole dish. Layer soup mix, then potato slices then sprinkle flour to cover lightly. Repeat layers. Top with last of soup mix, pour last ounce of milk over top to let it percolate down during cooking. Cover and bake at 350F for an hour and a half. Remove from oven and set on top of stove for about 10 minutes. Carefully remove cover and place 4 or 5 slices (less than 1/4 inch thick) of Velveeta cheese covering the top and recover. Let cheese melt into top layers while cooling. After 15 more minutes serve. Excellent hot. Better the next day after refrigeration and reheated as individual servings in microwave. Way too many calories and carbs and fat but so, so good. Mmmmm.....
bet you can't eat just one bowl full. 
For more spice, try adding chopped jalapeno or lots of black pepper to soup mix.
Sounds delish LG I made a huge pot of split pea soup yesterday ,portioned it into 2 cup serveings and froze it, that'll be good when it's cold and I want warm and filling ......
A huge pot became two cups worth? (I don't think I understand measurements from across the Atlantic too well.)
Inflation.
I actually got 11 , 2 cup servings out of the big pot ....... 9 of which are in the freezer .
Try this "video" that has the lyrics along with the audio. It seems the whole tune is there, right to the sudden ending. It all made sense to me. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=lyrics+to+another+one+bites+the+dust&view=detail&mid=6177DFD15349E323F25C6177DFD15349E323F25C&FORM=VIRE

And then there's Steve Miller Band's Space Cowboy:
"'Cause I speak of the pompitous of love".
He actually made that word up! It was in an article I read, an interview with him.
