Don't think I'd ever brag about kissing any guy.

But Jimi Hendriz did, at least in one song "Scuse me, while I kiss this guy"

sure woundn't mind going back to the 70's for a day or two when cars were CARS and rock was ROCK.

Yeah, nowadays "Cars" is a washed up, forgotten '80s band, and "rock" is a highly addictive controlled substance...

Well, I guess I'm in but I thought over the hill meant if got so easy its like coasting!

I'm proud to say, I've been there for all the best cars and music and movies, every remake since is just a remake.

I have socks older than the last girl I dated.

And I think I went to High School with one of her parents.

I guess you can only lie about your age for so long....

Hehe.... you know how many years I though Hendrix was saying "Piss the sky"?

Ahhh 1978: the Cars "The Cars" album and The Tubes "Remote Control Album" were my two favs.

I'll still get carded too on a rare occasion (like after recently dying my mustash as it's really all silver and if I don't dye it, the wife tells me I'm looking old

) and I always love the reaction I get when they see the DOB, thinking "OMG, the guys ancient!". The rest of my hair isn't too grey yet but I'm thinking that one of these days I'll wake up, look in the mirror and see an old guy for sure

The aging thing doesn't bother me too much but my wife's another story. Although she's two years older than me, I think she could still pass for being in her late 20s yet she gets very upset with each years BD. I know that 50's going to be a major hurdle for her, won't be a good thing in her mind at all.

Guess I'm gonna join in here too. I turned 51 about two weeks ago (June 30th) I sure love stealing FP's line; "You've just been fragged by an old fart, sonny".

<<Now, to the point. While performing "Purple Haze", for six performances in a row, Hendrix, standing to the left of the stage, clearly pointed directly at Noel Redding standing to the right, and they both laughed and made a "thing" out of it, each time the phrase came up, "...scuse me while I kiss this guy." This was not a mistake or a "misheard lyric". The two of them were clearly "goofing" on and with the crowd and having a great time! Hendrix even walked over to Redding during one or two of these performances, and mimed kissing him!

I also saw Hendrix perform this song twice in 1968, at the "Washington Hilton", in D.C., and the same on-stage gestures and pointing occured. Since seeing these performances live, going back and carefully listening to the original recording, I've always believed that he intentionally slurred his diction on the studio take, to achieve the same effect -- just to "goof" on the audience.

Feel free to include this personal account in your site, if you wish, but you definitely have to rethink this one lyric as being "misheard".

Webmaster's note: So this whole thing falls into a sort of grey area between misheard and not. On the one hand, the actual lyric is "Kiss the Sky." On the other hand, Hendrix himself was hip to the fun that could be had by allowing the meanings buried in the mishearance to surface playfully. He knew that many people were mishearing it this way, so he just started singing it that way. Still makes for a good domain name tho...>>

Energic 80s
===========

An elderly man goes into confession and says to the priest,
"Father, I'm 80 years old, married, have four kids and 11 grandchildren.
I started taking this new Viagra pill, and last night I had an affair and
made love to two 18-year-old girls.
Both of them... Twice !"
The priest said: "Well, my son, when was the last time you were in confession?"
"Never Father, I'm Jewish."
"So then, why are you telling me?"
"I'm telling everybody!"

One day some guys were doing a survey "boxers" or "briefs".

They went to a 25 year old man and said "boxers" or "briefs"?
He said briefs.

They went to a 40 year old man and said "boxers" or "briefs"?
He said boxers.

Then they went up to a 80 year old man and said "boxers" or "briefs"?

And the old man replied - "depends?"

he-he

Frustration And Panic
=====================

What is the difference between frustration and panic?

Frustration is the first time you discover you can't do it the second time.
Panic is the second time you discover you can't do it the first time.
