Not exactly my usual fare...but ain't it a hole in the boat!


Artist - Dean Martin
Album - Various Songs
Lyrics - Ain't That A Kick In The Head?


How lucky can one guy be?
I kissed her and she kissed me.
Like the fella once said:
Ain't that a kick in the head?

The room was completely black,
I hugged her and she hugged back.
Like a sailor said quote:
Ain't that a hole in a boat?

My head keeps spinnin',
I go to sleep and keep grinnin'
If this is just the beginnin'
My life is gonna be beautiful.

I've sunshine enough to spread,
It's just like the fella said.
Tell me quick,
ain't that a kick in the head?

Like the fella once said:
Ain't that a kick in the head?

Like the sailor said quote:
Ain't that a hole in a boat?

My head keeps spinnin',
I go to sleep and keep grinnin'
If this is just the beginnin'
My life is gonna be beautiful.

She's telling me we'll be wed,
She's picked out a king size bed,
I couldn't feel any better or I'd be sick.

Tell me quick,
Oh, ain't that a kick...?
Tell me quick,
ain't that a kick in the head

Silly boy in love goof

I go to sleep and keep grinnin'

My life is gonna be beautiful.



Yes I like that... thank you Jex.

OK True confessions ... Yesterday I bought the house off the Ex. Big fat cheque, very round number. I was exuding serenity and happiness, I should have known that would irritate her. I have always been straight with her, so I told her I had a girlfriend...

Honesty is a vice sometimes.

16038. alistairConnor - 8/6/2005 5:25:30 PM

The funny bit is : kids are at summer camp; weather is beautiful; house and garden are lovely; girlfriend is stuck in town with a heavy workload for all of August.

But still, I go to sleep and keep grinning.

This one goes out to Ugline and her Big Daddy...a little kitchen table music maestro...


Spinin some Spirit your way...Mr. Skin


    I raise my head in a touchy situation
    (Mr. Skin you know where you've been)
    Yes, I make my bed in the heart of the nation
    (Mr. Skin you know where you've been)
    I know its a trait of human love to make all the people holler
    Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
    Send them looking out for their woman send them reaching out for their dollar
    Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
    A, Hey, hey

    Oh, I'm rolling flowing through the whole population
    (Mr. Skin you know where you've been)
    Oh, The high and the low born are my friends and relations
    (Mr. Skin you know where you've been)
    I can bring you pain I can bring you sudden pleasure
    Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
    Your life will only gain if your loves final measure
    Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

It is Ulgine, Jex, not Ugline .

16041. alistairConnor - 8/6/2005 6:11:21 PM

He knows that. She knows he knows that. That's why it's funny, Mago.

16042. judithathome - 8/6/2005 6:21:05 PM

Alistair, be careful after this...always get a prenup in future.

16043. judithathome - 8/6/2005 6:31:23 PM

Today my letter about Bush was published in the paper and I just happened to receive a phone call from the head of the election committee for our village council. This is the guy who nearly had a heart attack when I told him I was a Democrat.

His call was about something coming up at the council meeting next Tuesday and we chatted a bit and then the subject of the council race came up and I noted a certain coolness in his voice. He took pains to let me know, in the nicest possible way, that there are 4 or 5 people on the list who really want to run. What that tells me is the the fervor for my candidacy has cooled considerably.

Screw it. Not a month ago, he was telling me that we needed to get going on this NOW (for a May election) and the jerk just said he wasn't really too concerned about that and wouldn't be til around March or April. I'm considering removing my name from the list officially...not so sure I want to be involved with a group that says one thing and believes another. They say personal political feelings mean nothing and religion (or lack of it, in my case) is a private matter but obviously, they don't really mean that.

16044. Magoseph - 8/6/2005 6:53:05 PM

He knows that. She knows he knows that. That's why it's funny, Mago.

Oh, okay--humour-impaired, that's me!

Well, Judith--why bother with these people anyway--they will never change.

16045. arkymalarky - 8/6/2005 6:57:23 PM

Judith, is there any way you can email me your letter? Registration is just too slow.

16046. arkymalarky - 8/6/2005 7:01:48 PM

I don't know what I'd do about the political situation. You might be able to accomplish more agitating from the outside than trying to have an impact in a really skewed group within the constraints of an elected position.

16047. arkymalarky - 8/6/2005 7:08:36 PM



That'll be great. We'd all love to see Frank again too (if he's lurking!)

16048. arkymalarky - 8/6/2005 7:10:14 PM

Blast it, I've regressed and suddenly can't link posts any more!

16049. alistairConnor - 8/6/2005 7:45:39 PM

Judith, as you can see I'm hopelessly naive about these games... what's a prenup?

16050. alistairConnor - 8/6/2005 8:20:31 PM

Oh - a prenuptial agreement.

No, Judith, the current difficulty does not concern the division of our worldly goods. That has gone very smoothly -- the notary was almost in tears, he said he had never met such reasonable divorcees in his career. We had the house valued, we both found the valuation terribly low, so we upped it by 20% for the purposes of the buy-out. She renounced any alimony, though I generally earn more than she does -- the judge nearly threw us out for that, we had to sweet-talk her.

No, neither of us are motivated by money issues.

16051. judithathome - 8/6/2005 10:06:38 PM

Alistair, I was referring to the girlfriend. Just an attempt at humor; move along, pay it no mind.

16052. Jenerator - 8/6/2005 11:45:55 PM

Judith,

Do NOT run for council.

16053. arkymalarky - 8/6/2005 11:57:27 PM

Why not?

16054. Magoseph - 8/7/2005 10:35:55 AM

Here's the letter, Arky--just in case Judith was out last night.

"I totally agree with Price. The use of this "gross term" shows a considerable lack of decorum and sensitivity and I feel that it's undignified, to boot.

But an editor's note below Price's letter said that the term is a nickname given by the president of the United States to his employee.

I have to admit that I'm concerned, as Price is, about the decline in decorum and sensitivity shown by President Bush.

We read that he frequently gives these sorts of nicknames to people rather than addressing them formally. He apparently seems to think that it makes him more folksy and friendly.

He has a similar habit in regard to the English language and has probably inspired many young boys and girls who hate English class to relax in their studies. After all, if George W. Bush can slaughter the language and still become president, why should kids work to learn the language properly?

This slide in sensitivity and decorum started at the top and should be nipped in the bud right now, before even more cartoonists are driven to embarrassingly quote Bush. Send the president to summer school and give him a few sessions with Miss Manners. Let's make him clean up his act!"

Not bad!
