13953 Bob Johnson <margjohn@m...> Feb-22-1997 Re: Barnyard Stomp, Brown Recluse Spiders and Mouse Dung

GG,

I don't which is more depressing: The "Name that Tune" thread which has
been clogging up this venue as of late or the new thread which says my
life is in danger from Brown Recluse Spiders hiding in the packages I
receive.  And now, I hear, I can die from unmentionable diseases carried in 
rodent feces and transmitted to me in airborne dust as I pursue my most
favorite activity, Rust Hunting, in dingy places.

I guess to be PC, I shall now have to don my respirator and spider-proof
gloves as I enter my shop.  And to keep my mind off the terrible dangers
lurking as I attempt to coax tree parts into becoming useful objects, I
must play music.  Three tunes, I think, I shall stack on the old 33.3 RPM
machine.  The theme music from "Lawrence of Arabia" as a pep song to encourage
me on to bigger and bolder projects will be first.  Ravel's "Bolero" is good
for those boring and repetitive tasks.  And finally, for those occasions when
I have thoroughly "botched" the job (A situation known in military terminology
as "FUBAR"), I shall play "Ode to Billy Joe" as I sip on my Hemlock.

You all do have current Tetnus Shots, don't you? :^)

Bob
