I must admit that I had to dig deep to pull out some of these. The wife made me throw out my slow jams cassettes (that's right, I said cassettes). Let's Get It On-Marvin Gaye , Sexual Healing-Marvin Gaye , Just My Imagination-The Temptations , Let's Stay Together-Al Green ,Midnight Train To Georgia-Gladys Knight & The Pips ,I'll Make Love To You-Boyz 2 Men , My Girl-The Temptations , Sade-Your Love is King, Miles Davis-All Blues, and of course Barry-Can't Get Enough of Your Love. Looking forward to your upcoming rant, as I always do. , Last Edited By: InTheKnow 04/28/08 12:52 AM. Edited 1 times.

InTheKnow really struck a chord with Midnight Train to Georgia. All I ever wanted to be when I grew up was a Pip. LBJ thank you for your offer of further explanation.....but I think I got it. Beaker for Wild Thing, I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul. My list (in no particular order) What Am I To You- Norah Jones- Because there is no way I can leave this one off my list These Arms of Mine- Otis Redding- I'm a little surprised that the Georgia Underwear Remover didn't appear on either of your lists Dreams To Remember - Otis Redding- the man's career lasted less than a decade and he has two songs that easily make my top ten and I've Been Loving You Too Long gets a high honorable mention. As a side note, if you can get your hands on Warren Haynes covering this Live at Bonaroo it's worth the trouble and will come in handy if you need to close the deal with...... a biker chick When A Man Loves A Woman- Percy Sledge- Simply because it has to make somebody's list and it may as well be mine Rainy Night In Georgia- Ray Charles- I prefer the Ray Charles cover to the original Brook Benton because....well because it's Ray Bring It On Home To Me- Sam Cooke- because the great sam cooke should be on this list somewhere Let's Get It On -Marvin Gaye- A great song and an all time classic that was almost ruined for me by the fact that it is Wally's ringtone and a Reese's Egg commercial Shake you Down- Gregory Abbott- just because of that time in high school when....anyway Shake You Down Gregory Abbott. At Last- Etta James- Jamesetta Hawkins can bring it My Last selection is Pretty Much Anything by Bill Withers- Aint No Sunshine, Just the Two of Us, Hello Like Before, Soul Shadows, I Want to Spend the Night ....they could all make the cut Last Edited By: iamstatler 04/24/08 12:52 PM.

I also have not ever had a "closing" song, but there are some songs that have gotten my wife and I in a romantic mood. 1. Barry White-"Practice What You Preach" 2. Whitney Houston's version of- "I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU" She loves it of course because of "The Bodyguard" and she does not like Dolly's version 3. Mary Jane Girls-"All Night Long" 4. Ray Charles- "I Can't Stop Loving You" this is a border song because of its country roots, but man it hits the old ladies heart. 5. Jagged Edge - "Promise" 6. Maxwell- I am taking one song from his first album "Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite" which is full of "closing" songs-----"Whenever Wherever Whatever" my actual personal favorite is "Til the COPS COME KNOCKIN'" 7. ROME - "I BELONG TO YOU (Every Time I see Your Face)" 8. LSG - Gerald Levert- Keith Sweat- Johny Gill--The song that I picked from this late 90s colab CD is "MY BODY" I did want to choose "Let A Player Get His Freak On" but you said "closing" songs and not ones where my wife would just laugh. 9. Musiq - "143"-- stands for "i love you" 10. Does not really fall under this list but VanMorrison's-- "Warm Love" is a classic So a little old school and new school. Marvin Gaye, Al Green, The Isley Brothers, Aretha Franklin, Blackstreet, Smokey Robinson, Supremes, The Temptations, Brian Mcknight, Luther Vandross, Babyface, Jodeci, Al B. Sure, Teddy Perdergrass, Otis Redding, Commodores, Isaac Hayes and soooooooooo many more are being slighted in this "CLOSING" list that could be 100s of SONGS on 10 different cassettes or put into a TIME LIFE COLLECTION. But if you wanted to put a new CD together of IPOD/MP3 playlist together there is a good selection of artists to choose from.

You know, those songs you want to blare when you've been deni......um, when you chose to do something way better than ANYTHING involving that stuck up, no-good, ugly, good-for-nothing girl who couldn't even give you 10 seconds of her time. I mean, everything's great when she's getting the free drinks but she's paying more attention to that other guy across the bar. Mentioning moving in together may have been a little sudden, but you were just thinking of the future. Chicks like guys who think about the future, don't they? Whatever, you didn't like her anyway. Yeah.....what about those songs? 1. Motley Crue: Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away) "Girl, don't go away mad. Just go away." 2. Eddy Clearwater: A Good Leavin' Alone "I'm gonna do us both a favor. I'm gonna give you a damn good leavin' alone." 3. Fishbone: Ugly "U-G-L-Y, you ain't got no alibi. You're just ugly! U-G-L-Y, bet you never wondered why you're so ugly."

In order for that to exist, there would have to be one agreed upon paradigm of behavior. Any person of intelligence has to realize that certainly doesn't exist, nor will it ever exist (unless Huxley rises from the grave and creates his brave, new world). Second, what's with you man!?! I ask people to name their anti-closing songs and you pick one that mentions violence towards women. Get help. Now.

How many people here do you think actually understand what you mean by paradigm in that sentence? I'll give you ITK but that's about it . . . Anyway, for anti-closing song, it doesn't get much better than F***ing Hostile by Pantera. If it has the opposite effect of the anti-close, I suggest running away. FAST

"Every Woman" by Dave Mason 2. "Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton 3. "Couldn't I Just Tell You" by Todd Rundgren Unfortunately, just like the Cubs, I've got 3 anti-closers.... A. "Stupid Girl" by Neil Young B. "She Hates Me" by Puddle of Mudd C. "Squeeze Box" by The Who ================================== I still remember the presenter who years ago put 2 dimes on the glass of the overhead projector (I told you this was years ago). He started out his presentation by moving the dimes from the upper left corner to the lower right corner. He proudly announced that he just demonstrated the "Pair-O-Dime Shift". Amazingly, his presentation went downhill from there.

Registered Member Posts: 234 (05/07/08 11:01 AM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	Today, I came across an article about how Georgia is passing legislation to ban the sale of "marijuana flavored" candy to minors. So there are companies making candy that tastes like pot and then there are stores that think it's a great idea to sell this stuff. I mean, hell it's only candy right? That, in and of itself, is a relatively humorous article and could probably elicit some witty banter on The Balcony: Johnny: Duuude, how many licks does it take to get to the center? Blazer: Duuude, I never can find out. I take a few and then dive right into the bag of Doritos. Then I forget where I put the lollipop. Stuff like that. HOWEVER, if you keep reading the article, you'll find that the GA senator who is pushed this bill through legislation is........wait for it.......Sen. Doug STONER!!!! I mean, COME ON!!!

I suggest our next topic of discussion is about the dumbest things we have ever seen. While on my way home recently, I saw a person in the next lane driving and sending a text message at the same time. While this has become a more common practice, the thing that made this different is that the person was operating a motorcycle, not a car. I mean seriously, there are easier ways to kill yourself.

Registered Member Posts: 43 (05/13/08 7:09 PM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	The setup: It was an early morning and I was heading off to recruit a young lady at a club practice. I was hungry, and being the healthy eater that I am I chose to go to McDonalds. I wanted a bagel breakfast sandwich. If you know McDs and the bagel sandwiches I believe they only come with the choice of either sausage or bacon. I didn't want those I wanted ham also known at MceeDs as Canadian BACON, which is what comes on the Egg McMuffin. The ORDER: vbgans: Hi can I get two bagel sandwiches but with ham. young lady taking order: We don't have ham. vbgans: You don't have ham? ylto: No. We have sausage and bacon. vbgans: Well, what do you put on your Egg McMuffins then? ylto: Oh that is Canadian bacon. vbgans: (trying not to laugh as hard as I can and not make fun of this young lady at the same time) Yeah...I will take two of those on a bagel sandwich. ylto: Ok anything else? vbgans: NOPE ylto: your order is $$$$$ please pay at first window. It was early and I didn't want to start my daying being my normal smart a@# self, so I gave my money nicely to the young lady. I feel bad that I had chance to educate a 15-17 year old that CANADIAN BACON is a stylish word for HAM, but chose not to. I don't think I would have educated her in the proper voice tone at that point.

Registered Member Posts: 2041 (05/22/08 6:15 AM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	Canadian bacon is usually known as back bacon or back rasher in the UK. It is made of meat from the back of the hog. Ham is made with the haunch or leg of the hog. Totally different parts. So strictly speaking, the 15 year old kid was right. The bacon that we are used to is known also as streaky or fatty bacon and that comes from belly of the hog, which is why pork bellies market is a big part of the commodities exchange, they are basically deciding the price of bacon.

Registered Member Posts: 234 (05/22/08 7:17 AM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	Oh, I'll definitely add to this list: 1. When asked what position she plays because it wasn't marked on her camp application, you get the reply "I play every position because (....wait for it....) our team rotates." 2. Mom calls to ask "What kind of shoes should my daughter wear for your camp?" 3. She asks if the camp will work on her "bumping" skills. 4. You're five minutes into the first session and she's spent three of those minutes with your trainer nursing the sprained duodenum she injured when she was four but still affects the way she plays. In fact, she knows she'd be up on that top court if that nagging injury didn't come back each year around this time. 5. When you ask her if she's excited to start up camp, she replies with "I didn't even know I was signed up until yesterday. Mom & dad wanted me out of the house. I think they're going to Greece." 6. There's no Varsity or club experience listed on the Elite Camp application, but she does have one whopping season playing in her church rec league on Thursday nights.

I don't even think it is ham anyways. 1) When for position she puts REAR END HITTER --loved that one 2)When the mother has to have 1 hour meeting with the trainer about her daughters 4 "chronic" conditions. She kept on using the word "Chronic" when I was listening in...I tried to tell the mom 30 min into the meeting we don't let them smoke at our camp. She didn't think it was funny, but my trainer had a good laugh.
