Linda Lee:

alas, i fear Josh-wearing Josh is no more. there's a novel right there ~ full of humor, drama & pathos: "Josh of Lilliput".
  3:32pm
Dean:

Maybe "josh" is a verb. Maybe the guy wearing the drawers--let's call him Kyle--doesn't know he's being made fun of.
Avatar 🎸 3:33pm

Josh was the great grandson of Mr Bill.
  3:33pm
Dean:

If this hypothesis is correct, then maybe we should add...an adverb!
Avatar 🎸 3:34pm

Is Rickily an adverb? As in, I rickily jones for some coffee.

Linda Lee:

could even be a serial! "Josh Gets His Underpants" ~ "Josh Among The Giants" ~ "Kicked To The Curb" ~ "Josh And The Squirrel"! not only a serialized novel, but a webcomic! Josh's own blog! Josh brand Underpants! Josh the Movie! ~

always thought that bowie number sounded like Tchaikovsky or was that the idea
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:46pm

@Brian: classical, opera, old country, bluegrass, klezmer, Norteño, calypso, 1950s rock n roll. Thanks for asking.

melinda, i'm sorry, has something happened?

Quite the breadth! My dad pretty much stuck with Lawrence Welk and big band/swing music. WWII was the epicenter of his life.
Avatar 🎸 3:49pm

Anyway, maybe you should set yourself up with a little playlist. I found myself listening to Glen Miller.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:51pm
melinda:

@Brian that's funny. I'm glad I was exposed to a wide range of musics in my youth, most people don't stray far from a narrow segment. @Linda my dad died a couple of days ago.

Should we inform Josh there's a break in the curb where he easily pass, though he may bloody his feet on mini sea shells, or is that popcorn?

I've heard of pre-historic humans using each other as bait while hunting the now extinct giant sloth. Could Josh have employed the same tactic on an unsuspecting squirrel?
