You know, the pink stuff, not the blue - so I’m kinda buzzed with all that caffeine and Sweet’n Low….and I’m all giddy and it could be the instant oatmeal flavor I selected this morning…it was crazy brown sugar and cinnamon…I don’t normally take my oats with so much flavor, but I just couldn’t help myself…am I talking too much? Oh crazy me! I’m just feeling alive!”

    It’s a beautiful day in this neighborhood,
    A beautiful day for a neighbor.
    Would you be mine?
    Could you be mine?…

    It’s a neighborly day in this beauty wood,
    A neighborly day for a beauty.
    Would you be mine?
    Could you be mine?…

    I’ve always wanted to have a neighbor just like you.
    I’ve always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you.

    So, let’s make the most of this beautiful day.
    Since we’re together we might as well say:
    Would you be mine?
    Could you be mine?
    Won’t you be my neighbor?
    Won’t you please,
    Won’t you please?
    Please won’t you be my neighbor?

    I am just horrified that my cemetery auditors never caught Chicago Burr Oak Cemetery over the last 4 years disintering and piling up hundreds of bodies for profit!!


  53. - John Doe - Friday, Jul 10, 09 @ 6:37 am:

    Hynd: She did? Honest? You mean that I can finally try raising some campaign cash! Gee, what should I be? A cowboy or maybe a fireman? Barack is already President so I can’t be that. Hmmmm? Governor sounds like it could be fun. Do you think that Lisa will change her mind again?
