Oingo Boingo - "Dead or Alive" and Alice in Chains - "The Bones" both have the word bones.
jimmy The only song I could think of with "bone" was, "...the knee bone's connected to the leg bone, the leg bone's connected to the hip bone..." Who sings that? Oh yea, and there's the "This old man, he played one, he played knick-knack on a drum, with a knick-knack patti-whack, give a dog a bone... " Maybe Captain Kangeroo or Big Bird sang that one? I was blank on "fanny." Was there a title song for the movie adaptation of "Fanny Hill?" For "hambone" there was that song about doing the "Hambone." But I couldn't think of anyone who did that song either. There must be songs with "French" and "jam" in them, but... And of course there's the Oscar Myer "I'd love to be an Oscar Myer Weiner" But that's not exactly "wienie." Come to think of it, I may have spelled "weinie" wrong to begin with, Heh! Besides, I probably should come up with better lyrics to obcess over anyway. It is a neat site. I shall have to perfect my approach! Peace, Awwa \A/
Aw Well awwa, did you make suggestions as to where they could find the words they didn't have? That's a neat feature. I had to leave them quite a few myself, like word artist song "heroes" Bowie - Heroes "choke" Radiohead - Exit Song (for a film)
jimmy Er, they are a little under populated, lyrically. Here's the results of my song: Out of all of my lyrics it didn't have a reference for: bone fanny hambone French jam wienie So my lyrics as shown below: "Kiss my fanny bone, Kiss my big hambone, Kiss my French jam bone, Kiss my wienie bone." Actually only had these words sung: "Kiss my... , Kiss my big... , Kiss my... , Kiss my... " Anyway, interesting site! I'll have to try more generic lyrics. I was thinking the other day, what if the expression "teenie weenie", meaning something really small, actually came from a medical term, as in, "I am sorry to inform you madam, but your husband is suffering from we in the medical profession refer to as 'teenie weenie." Funny comics Jimmy! Peace Yo! Awwa \A/
Aw Let them sing it! (Chief introduced me to this site).
jimmy Last one, promise, then I'll just put up links if I draw any new ones.

jimmy  I have a moral crisis. In the break room refrigerator at work, there is a box of frozen fruitsicles. The pops had been in there for quite a long time with no apparent owner when I decided to pen the date on the side of the box along with the number of pops in the box. It is now 11.11.03, and there are 13 pops in the box. I want one. Badly. I suspect that one pop is missing because I either miscounted, or someone else stole one too. Of course, it could be the true owner of the pops...a person who only allows themselves one popsicle every two months. Or three months. Or four. One possibility is that the popsicles are mine. I know it sounds idiotic, but I forget nearly everything. I certainly would have forgotten what was in the fridge and rightfully mine.
jimmy I'm the pathetic one! At least I identify with that. Maybe I should reinvent my self conception. An Artist, always wanting to have means to do more! Peace! Awwa \A/
Aw I really didn't intend to sound pathetic, Awwa. I'm a little embarrassed that I wrote that now. I was actually going to qualify it but I ended up having to do assloads of work at my job (imagine that). My point was really about myself. I had all of these lofty ideas with little know-how to bring them to fruition. Time is all.
jimmy Hey, Jimmy, buck-up man! I love this place, the new cover rocks! And I don't go to many places on the web these days, other than here. At some point (this is the Artist talking), I'm gonna do my stuff and fix-up a page or two here, Heh! Just plug away at it when you can Jimmy! Let us know how we can help, or participate more! On that note, I followed your link to A Byram's webpages. We struck-up an email conversation, part of which is reproduced below. His interest in out of the way places made me mention my road travels. if I've written this stuff before, or if it is a bore, please skip over it. I was on the road when I was in my twenties, between the years 1981 and 1985. I traveled from Virginia to California (Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Francisco, San Diego, most of the southern beaches from Zuma down through San Onofre); also spending some time in Texas (El Paso), Arizona (Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon area), Alabama (Huntsville), Delaware (Wilmington) Maryland (Baltimore), Washington DC, South Carolina (Columbia and Charleston), and Florida (Orlando, Lakeside, Tampa Bay). I rode the rails (a dummy train engine and a couple of box cars), walked and hitch-hiked most of the way, and occasionally took a bus. I worked day labor, migrant labor, pick-up jobs when I found them, collected cans for deposit, rarely panhandled, and donated plasma ($20 a pint), to make money. Often I'd find myself sleeping under bridges or in abandoned houses. There were the occasional foodstamps, Gospel Missions, Salvation Armies, and soup lines for food. I'd buy paperbacks from second hand stores for reading, mostly Sci-Fi, but some Westerns and Mysteries. Several cities had great libraries where I'd sit reading for hours, and some had Art Theaters, usually old glamorous Movie palaces, which had only one screen (not competitive today), selling cheap tickets to great foreign and old classic movies. And while on the road, I'd draw or write stuff, some of it I still have. I even had a guitar at one point, mostly playing for self satisfaction.. Long story short, I mostly did it to explore America. Anytime I was in a given city, I'd try to see its sights, appreciate whatever it had to offer. I definitely dug California! Santa Monica Beach and the Venice Broadwalk were two of my favorite places (though side by side). I guess I had a variety of expeiences exploring backroads, abandoned houses/buildings, bridgeways, train yards, industrial sites. I was incarcerated a few times, so some of my explorations were in jails, Heh! Mostly petty stuff, though one was an aggravated-assault charge, which was judicated after two years probation (while in Florida I threatened a guy with a knife. I never touched him, but the deadly weapon was enough to make it an agg-ass charge). Still none were quite so adventurous as your (A Byram's) steam tunnel. But lots of places like the ones in your other photos. Times were a little simpler then, I/we were (the Nation) a little more innocent/nieve. I'm not sure you could travel so safely now. Of course my travels were during the same time some of the infamous highway serial killers were operating, so go figure. Those were the days of the Reagan Whitehouse, Bush Sr coming up, Iran Contra, trickle down Reaganomics, etc. I guess it's through my nievity that I see the times. The Xenius blog is mostly a social/news board, where similar minded Artists and friends (many web only acquaintances, some from a chatroom at Yahoo, "Beyond Planet Earth), get together to share news amd ideas. Jimmy really is the core, along with several folks who came over from a Yahoo club they used to have. We talk about most anything, and nothing. Music, politics, Art, science, the web, life, really really strange stuff, etc are common topics. You'd (A Byram) be welcome to jump-in, I'm sure! Well that's enough babbling for now. I may post some of this at Xenius. I really haven't written much about my road travels there. Some day I really should write a book! Peace Yo! And Jimmy, thanks man! I love this place! Awwa \A/
Aw So many people get bent out of shape over the word "irregardless". I use regardless myself, but I'm not gonna get intot a fight over it. I changed the xenius front page. The image file will eventually give way to links on the image itself. It should be finished tonight. If you'd like your website linked from it, whether it's on xenius or not, let me know. It's very simple to just manipulate the image file. I dunno. I feel like xenius is sort of a failure. A lot of people use it, and none use it for evil, which is just grand, but I have lagged on so many projects that.... ...argh...work calls. -a tiny man in a tiny cubby fron a tiny city It's good to be home from work. I saw Interpol play recently in San Diego. This band was pretty smart. They make use of a lot of electronic instrumentation, something I'd like to do sometime. It was really hard to tell where they were coming from. They played a guitar and bass, with Bach-like melodic layerings done electronically. Great guitarists, great style, and then there was this projected footage of what one can only call "ghetto parties" in the background. Anyhow, there are two of their songs in the hive (available on their site).
jimmy So we finally got the recordings from our "Heroes of the Underclass" show in Austin. We played at the Flamingo Cantina on 6th street, just next door to where Jayerbee's sister would be playing the following night (and was probably drinking there that very night). I'm still waiting on the after-party recordings (4th of July), which was just a drunken fun-fest. I'll probably have those this week. The fun of playing to a large bar is that people are only half listening. It's a lot more relaxing than other venues. Austin was certainly one of the liveliest cities I've ever visited. This music was born on the beach in San Diego, actually. Most of it started at bonfires that we would stop at to play for people who were drunk and burning couches, so we tend to play dry and without effects. We saved the punk rock for last. Rachel Gonzales on violin and backup vocals. Eric Gonzales on bass, guitar, vocals Jimmy (inverted man) on bass, guitar, vocals And the fucking brilliant Adam Byram on drums. In the order that we played them: Talkin' to the Hand written and sung by eric m. gonzales (Sad, I can't remember the name!!) written and sung by eric m. gonzales Tidewater Song written and sung by eric m. gonzales I've Been Waiting written and sung by eric m. gonzales Bottle-Rocket * written and sung by jimmy Wrecking Ballwritten and sung by jimmy (nothing like forgetting lyrics on stage) Might Makes Right (for the boy) written and sung by jimmy Macabre Desire (a song I really have to be drunk to play, but the band convinced me anyhow...no set lyrics! Ha.) the fall written and sung by jimmy (adam switches to timpani mallets) All of the Time (now I'm guessing at song titles) written and sung by eric m. gonzales You're a Punk written and sung by eric m. gonzales * "If everything I love was made in Asia, it's such a fantastic world..." This was written after a particularly great conversation with Rose Opal about her family and her experiences coming here from China as a child. I was penning the musical changes to Bottle Rocket, looked up at my Toshiba camera, then my Sony monitor, then a framed picture of Rose with her date just before one of her highschool dances. As questionably offensive as that sounds, it was actually quite sweet.
