I’m thinking cinnamon or cayenne pepper. Ouch, it reminds me of Tracy’s story – remember when she used that shower gel or whatever with capsacin (sp?) in it?
My favorite bit in Blazing Saddles is Madelyn Kahn doing her impression of Marlene Dietrich in singing the following:
Here I stand, the goddess of Desire
Set men on fire
I have this power
Morning noon and night it’s drink and dancing
Some quick romancing
And then a shower
Stage door johnnies always surround me
They always hound me
With one request
Who can satisfy their lustful habits
I’m not a rabbit
I need some rest
I’m tired
Sick and tired of love
I’ve had my fill of love
From below and above
Tired, tired of being admired
Tired of love uninspired
Let’s face it
I’m tired
I’ve been with 1000’s of men
Again and again
They promise the moon
They always coming and going
Going and coming
And always too soon
Right girls?
I’m tired,
Tired of playing the game
Ain’t it a crying shame
I’m so tired
God dammit I’m exhausted
Tired, tired of playing the game
Ain’t it a crying shame
I’m so tired
[Soldiers:]
She’s tired (She’s tired)
Sick and tired of love (Give her a break)
She’s had her fill of love (She’s not a snake)
From bellow and above (Can’t you see she’s sick)
Tired (She’s bushed)
Tired of being admired (Let her alone)
Tired of love uninspired (Get off the phone)
She’s tired (Don’t you know she’s pooped)
I’ve been with 1000’s of men
Again and again
They sing the same tune
They start with Byron and Shelly
And jump on your belly
And bust your ballon
Aye!
Tired, tired of playing the game
Ain’t it a freakin’ shame
I’m so…
Let’s face it everything below the waist is kapput!
Now, don’t go ascribing my dyslexia to the whole of the Southern Hemisphere. It’s upside-down for sure, but not backwards.
I remember that skit.
I actually did sound and lighting for one of Gilda Radner’s stage performances (in my earlier life as an AV technician). She was as sweet a performer as I ever worked with. And chatty. And sooooooo tiny. I still remember her feet in their little rainbow stripped deck shoes, about size 3 or 4.
Both she and Ms. Kahn passed all to quickly from this world – and are greatly missed.
I gotta skidaddle. I think my ass is numb from sitting at the computer so long. ACK! (well I do get up and run around, I have kids and such) But I didn’t get any chores done or such. I was a total slacker today.
What a cutie pie! Two year olds are the best – don’t let anyone convince you that they’re terrible. Mine were angels, perfect angels. Hint: 3 is even better!
though he has been a little more “hyper” lately. It is like a light bulb has gone off over his head and he is trying to learn everything at once. We are forever naming things that he points to, or makes us point to – sometime many times in a row. He looks like he is actively trying to make up for that first year of his life.
My husband is really good about making sure that he and Andrew are wearing sunblock and a hat. But, cancer runs in my husband’s family, so he is acutely aware of the danger.
like I tempted the fates with the earlier Monsoon Madness Cafe. Major downpour here with tons of lightning. I’ll be in and out depending on how close the strikes continue. (think War of the Worlds for earlier)
You must get amazing lightening storms out your way. I thought that I once read about an artist who strategically set up lightening rods in the desert to create some sort of special effect.
Good evening folks! How do you all do?
How do we all do what?
If he’s been in the last cafe, he’s probably not going to answer that.
I’m not elegantly trimmed – can I still drink here?
Are you trying to say you still have eyebrows?
Of course I have eyebrows. How else would I keep the sweat from dripping into my eyes?
So your eyebrows are absorbent or sweat repellant?
They divert the sweat flow nicely around my eyeballs. Are you hairless, Jethro? š
Do I look hairless? :~)
No, but I’ve always secretly suspected that Jethro had a big wang.
Yeah he does have a few wang chung albums. š
I’m so disappointed. The mystery remains.
Ya can’t be disappionted with mystery. š
Doesn’t look shaggy at all … š
He looks clueless though, doesn’t he? I like my men that way.
That can be a good thing — more malleable … š
Hah I knew it. It’s like a secret women’s pact. We’ll get ya and then turn ya into what we want. š
It’s no secret, FM. It’s sort of a code or law or whatever you want to call it.
Why does no one ever tell me about these thing.
š
Thanks. Now I’m old, clueless and my memory is going. š
Memory is always the second thing to go. š
Well I’ve never been normal. š back at ya. š
Old picture. š
I’m much more clueless now of days. š
I thought wisdom came w/ experience and age.
Nope only wrinkles. š
Now what have I got to look forward to …
Maybe menopause…
most women reach their sexual prime in their late 30s and early 40s.
Ah, I remember my 30’s. Unfortunately I was married to someone I hated. But I dreamed alot. That was before I met Family Man.
What can I say. I’m just a hell of a guy. š
I know ALL about that Andi … it started a little earlier for me … š
menopause it is. And the right to be a mouthy geezer.
w/ sexual prime … but maybe the mouthy geezer!
You women have all the luck. I miss a late sexual prime, menopause and being mouthy.
I went straight to geezer.
Maybe you haven’t hit your sexual prime yet.
Thank you. I’d like to think so. š
Too bad only Family Mom will be around. Seems a waste of some sort.
Since I have hit it yet, there’s time. š
You are so good SN … š
To good. š
You can be pretty lippy there FM … š
A gift I guess. š
that your sexual prime will be over; it’s just that if you’re already there, you can’t look forward to it.
Is it sort of like Indian Summer? Can you ever get another one? I’d like to think so.
Round-Heeled Woman?
… is menopause something one would look forward to? It’s all hot flashes and weird changes …
and I’ve been doing weird changes since I was 5 so I didn’t notice ’em. Sure did love throwing away those unused tampons, though.
and besides you were at least once which is one more occasion than I’ll ever have.
It might spice things up, Andi. C’mon, after 35 years it gets a little boring, doesn’t it?
I think that since it’s been 35 years it proves it’s NOT boring at all š
absence makes the heart grow fonder and familiarity breeds contempt.
cumin or coriander?
I’m thinking cinnamon or cayenne pepper. Ouch, it reminds me of Tracy’s story – remember when she used that shower gel or whatever with capsacin (sp?) in it?
which is why cayenne pepper or chili powder weren’t the choices.
But cinnamon sounds good.
I wasn’t – did I miss something that I should be glad to have missed? š
For an estimation of how glad, you should check with Family Man.
Heh, okay…I’ll wait for him to come back and let me know.
Heart shaped nether regions.
And you old folks complain about us young folks being the dirty talkers… š
See – for some of us dirty talk is all we have. š Use it while you can young one.
I’ll let Andi take this one. š
Forget it. SN did a fine job. š
some of us think of dirty talk as hints from heloise.
Well, I did say SOME of us. Family Man knows what I mean.
Oh No! You’re not going to draw me into this one. š
A slight alteration from one of my favorite directors… Mel Brooks.
but Young Frankenstein is my favorite.

I love Madeline Kahn š Empress Nympho is one of my favorites…
As she hollers at her carriage guys
Will you all step on the same foot at the same time!!! My tits are going to fall off!!
Or as she is walking upon rose petals and slips
Knock that shit off… I almost fell!
That should read Madeline Kahn.
as we say in the northern hemisphere. š
She was brilliant. There’s a slumber party skit she and Gilda Radner did on SNL that was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.
Now, don’t go ascribing my dyslexia to the whole of the Southern Hemisphere. It’s upside-down for sure, but not backwards.
I remember that skit.
I actually did sound and lighting for one of Gilda Radner’s stage performances (in my earlier life as an AV technician). She was as sweet a performer as I ever worked with. And chatty. And sooooooo tiny. I still remember her feet in their little rainbow stripped deck shoes, about size 3 or 4.
Both she and Ms. Kahn passed all to quickly from this world – and are greatly missed.
Yes, two fine wonderful souls gone too quickly.
if anyone has that skit — I’d love a copy.
a transcript which isn’t as good as seeing it but it gives you some idea. I’m guessing it’s on some SNL dvd.
oh the memories!!! Thank you so much Andi!!!
I love all those women.
I believe the Cacaussian beverages are in The Big Lebowski.
I gotta skidaddle. I think my ass is numb from sitting at the computer so long. ACK! (well I do get up and run around, I have kids and such) But I didn’t get any chores done or such. I was a total slacker today.
Ciao for niao! ((xoxox)))
Hello everyone? How is it going?
Hi Toni. How the day gone so far?
Did you know there’s a cover charge for the lounge tonight? Yep – pictures of cute toddlers.
Exactly what SN said.
Let me look under the couch cushions for a little change. I’ll be back in a bit!
Pay up, Toni.
How are you all doing w/ this crazy weather … Did you get out this past w/e?
Much to my chagrin, it was just too hot to go outside this weekend. Today was a beautiful day, so we took a walk after dinner. How was your weekend?
It was hot hot hot here as well.
I’ve got my cover charge ready. Here is the newly anointed 2-year old.
<>
That’ll get you through the door, but we do have a one picture first drink minimum. š
Are you saying that this will be an Andrew cafe?
Any cafe with pictures of Andrew is an Andrew cafe.
It’s our favorite cafe. š
What a cutie pie! Two year olds are the best – don’t let anyone convince you that they’re terrible. Mine were angels, perfect angels. Hint: 3 is even better!

Good to see Andrew has hat on!
My husband is really good about making sure that he and Andrew are wearing sunblock and a hat. But, cancer runs in my husband’s family, so he is acutely aware of the danger.
Our favorite cutie.
More!
I don’t know about that. I saw how you people were talking up-thread. Not really age appropriate for the child:)
free drinks all night, TT, what a great pic! He looks very curious, that should make for a fun era š
Thank you sir.
beer?
or something blended perhaps?
A Bailey’s on the rocks, please.
In a sippy cup?
coming right up!
coming right up!
it’s 2-4-1 night at the FBL?
