First of all, let me explain that I'll be watching- vigorously watching- college football later today. Aight? Okay, if we're clear on that, I'll cop to sewing last night. I'm really not sure which is worse: that I was sewing; or that I was sewing on a Friday night. Anyway, I lost a button on a shirt that wasn't yet in tatters. This isn't a very expensive shirt, but it had extra buttons on the bottom of the shirt-tail, so I assumed you're not just supposed to throw it away if you lose a button. I hate clothes shopping anyway, so I figure I'll take five minutes and sew on one of those extra buttons they give you. Wait. I don't have a sewing kit (at least there's that). Sew... er, "so" I scooted up to Walgreen's and picked up the cheapest kit they had- three dollars and fiddy cent. To work I go. Ah, here it is. Hmmm. So-so sewing at best. Gas, time and money for the kit. And Belk's is having a sale. Now I am depressed. Maybe the Kids in the Hall can make it all better:
I like your version better, John. Also love the phrase mondegreens, which I had to look up. High school friend Ballard Waldon used to sing along with the Marshall Tucker Band "heard it in a love song... ten feet long". Er, Ballard, I think that's "can't be wrong".
Yo, if you liked the "hick hop" of Rehab from the Bartender Song, thought you'd get a kick out of this story, same crew ... "Walk Away" ... no video, just the song, but it paints a pretty good picture. :-)
I was born in Montana, raised in Tampa, and reside in a small town in the lowcountry of South Carolina with the Lovely Lady Di, and son Tyler. Walterboro (the 'Boro) has about 5,100 residents. It's a moderately interesting place. I work in the public defender's office representing poor people charged with crimes. Some of them did it. Some of them didn't do it. Some are not very nice, a lot of them are just regular Joes with a huge plate of bad luck.
I'm a moderately interesting fellow, who has the good fortune to know or be related to some very interesting people. Is there anyone out there?

The red background there is actually a pirate bandana.
As a young'un, I always thought the words were "tea, I drink with Jan and Greg" (from the Brady Bunch). It made perfect sense to me.
Love my mondegreens.

Here's one of my faves (featuring Alice and Prince Valiant).
My husband WOULD throw away a shirt because a button was missing (if we weren't married anyway). I guess he really likes shopping.
You'll make someone a great wife someday SD :)
Funny stuff, John.
Yeah, yeah, Star. Stuff needs to be done. Ain't nobody else to do it.

Pretty cool song, Chase (just don't let Andy hear it).
