I'm looking for the words to a song I only know as the "Rodeo Song".
Some of the lyrics go like

.....
It's cold outside
but I don't give a fuck
got a heater in my truck
and I'm off to the rodeo.

....

I know there are more. If anyone knows these lyrics, could they please e-mail

Thanks in advance

That's good but I've got one better. An ex roommate of mine and I were going to
take our girlfriends out on a date. Both gals were at our house watching the
Charles Lindberg story on the tube. We were ready to leave and told the ladies
(both blondes) to head on out when my friends girlfriend says "wait a minute this
is the good part (while he's flying across the Atlantic) I don't want to leave 
just yet". "Why" we asked her, " because I want to see if he makes it".

Hi, I almost let something very stupid get out to the net world. If you saw
it, ignore it please. (discalmer) (sp?)

A great joke I saw a while back:

A group of advid fishermen saw it was the high-point of the season, so they
packed their bate and rods and set out on a fishing trip. It wasn't long
untill they saw a pub as they where driving to the fishing place. Now,
these people never use the same fishing hole twice, so they chose to go
fish off a bridge. Anyway, they stayed in the pub for hours on end. They
all then decided to pay and walk out because it was almost high-noon. They
straggled to the nearest bridge and cast their lines. Hours went by and no
bites!, they all started to recover from their hang-overs so they decided
to go home if they got no bites in 10 minutes. 1,2,3 minutes. "Anything
yet?"  "Naw, let's go hoooooommmmmmmmeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!"  Tsk, Tsk, he
didn't catch any fish, the 4:00 out-bound train caught him instead.

The End (for him).

Reminds me of a story


Once upon a time there was an Island kingdom connected to the mainland
by a bridge. Underneath the bridge lived the dreaded Yellowfingers, a
horrible ogre who ate any knight daring to cross the bridge.
    One day the king found himself needing to send a message to a king 
on the mainland. So he sent out a knight, who was promptly eaten by the
ogre Yellowfingers. Knight after Knight was devoured until none were left
who would dare cross the bridge.
    In desperation the king offered half of his kingdom and the hand of his
daughter in marriage, to whoever could get the message to the other King.
    On hearing of the offer the kings page voluntered to cross the bridge and
deliver the missive. He then proceded to deliver the letter to the other king.
    Upon his return he was married to the princess and given half of the
kingdom as promised.

--------THE MORAL OF THIS STORY------

Let your pages do your walking through the YELLOWFINGERS.

Hold on there speedy, the USA has been sending mostly amatures
in all sports for a long time.  Basketball is one we've held
out on for the longest.  The OTHER countries have been beating
up our college boys for the couple Olympics with PROS! from 
their own countries so we finally
got tired enough of it to say "You want professionals, we got
professionals, try these guys on for size."  If the rest of the world
wants to revert to all amatures, I'm sure we'll comply as well.
I think this year's dream team was a side effect of years of
the "Pick on someone your own size" building up.

Actually, this joke gives only a bad impression of Dutchmen. And 
I don't think you will find any Dutchmen reacting to this joke as 
was reacted to the polish joke. The best proof is probably that 
Jos is Dutch himself and so am I and I really liked the joke and 
do not feel insulted. And I think that on this point both Jos and 
me represent the opinion of the average Dutchmen (except Jos does 
not like 'spruitjes' but that's something completely different).

  Try names from a good comic strip or story.  The unix system

I rather desperately need a text copy of Abbot and Costello's "Who's on First"
routine.  If anyone out there can direct me to a source of such (not audio,
that should be relatively easy to get) a copy, please e-mail to me as I do not
regularly read this group.

Thanks

Do the words "... And the rockets' red glare ..." ring any bells?

Rockets had been in use in warfare for hundreds of years (invented by the
Chinese, who also invented magazine fed cross-bows and hand held cannons).
A crude but functional machine gun was invented by Galileo.

Wonder no more.
