Encore: Occupations

[Dead Cat]

Also, one for tomorrow, as we'll be on the road and who knows if I'll be home in time to post:

"She said she'd married her an architect, kept her warm and safe and dry. She would've liked to say she loved the man, but she didn't like to lie"

-Dan Fogelberg, "Same Auld Lang Syne"

I think you actually posted two yesterday, so you've got a double buffer working for you.

"Me oh my, I loved him so.
Broke my heart to see him go,
And only time will heal my woe.
Johnny has gone for a soldier."

"Johnny has gone for a soldier"

[Marduk]

Dead Cat, that was intended for the 26th and the 27th. We should be back in town late tomorrow night.

... I totally thought we'd already done solider. Dang it!

... I totally thought we'd already done solider. Dang it!

Fred played abogado and militar in the same round, but I only counted the first because I thought you could only count one per round (unless you're going out of town or catching up or something).

"I had so much on my mind, I thought maybe I'd unwind, try out that new roller coaster ride and the guide said not to stand, but that's a demand that I couldn't meet, I got on my feet and stood up instead, and knocked off my head, you see."

Weird Al, "A Complicated Song"

[bobtheenchantedone]

I remember that, but I remember thinking that of course you had to count lawyer because soldier had already been taken.

[Dead Cat]

Aah! I've gotten off my posting groove.

"It makes a lousy baseball umpire or brow wiper for bongo players"

--"What Do It Do?" Phineas and Ferb

I was tempted to use "brow wiper," but decided against it. The belly dancer from earlier was also tempting, but there comes a time where it's just better to say no.
