Hey Para. Why the heck didn’t you tell us you were quoting a conversation between two mimes! Or is it three?
I seemed to have done wrong here. What's up?
"what a story the cat could tell, about Della and the dealer and the dog as well, but the cat was cool and never said a mumblin word"
according to Hoyt Axton
Another one of my all time favorites. Not posted on my blog however due to fear of google.
Lyrics
It was Della and a dealer and a dog named Jake,
And a cat named Kalamazoo,
Left the city in a pickup truck.
Gonna make some dreams come true.
Yeah, they rolled out west where the wild sun sets,
And the coyote bays at the moon.
Della and a dealer and a dog named Jake,
And a cat named Kalamazoo.
If that cat could talk, what tales he'd tell,
About Della and the Dealer and the dog as well.
But the cat was cool,
And he never said a mumblin' word.
Down Tucson way there's a small cafe,
Where they play a little cowboy tune.
And the guitar picker was a friend of mine,
By the name of Randy Boone.
Yeah, Randy played her a sweet love song,
And Della got a fire in her eye.
The Dealer had a knife and the dog had a gun,
And the cat had a shot of rye.
If that cat could talk, what tales he'd tell,
About Della and the Dealer and the dog as well.
But the cat was cool,
And he never said a mumblin' word.
Yeah, the Dealer was a killer; he was evil and mean,
And he was jealous of the fire in her eyes.
He snorted his coke through a century note,
And he swore that Boone would die.
And the stage was set when the lights went out,
There was death in Tucson town.
Two shadows ran for the bar back door,
But one stayed on the ground.
If that cat could talk, what tales he'd tell,
About Della and the Dealer and the dog as well.
But the cat was cool,
And he never said a mumblin' word.
If that cat could talk, what tales he'd tell,
About Della and the Dealer and the dog as well.
But the cat was cool,
And he never said a mumblin' word.
Two shadows ran from the bar that night,
And a dog and a cat ran too.
And the tires got hot on the pickup truck,
As down the road they flew.
It was Della and her lover and a dog named Jake,
And a cat named Kalamazoo.
Left Tucson in a pickup truck.
Gonna make some dreams come true.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
If that cat could talk, what tales he'd tell,
About Della and the Dealer and the dog as well.
But the cat was cool,
And he never said a mumblin' word.
To fade.

I so, so miss that stuff... I kid you not. It's been decades.
I though the dog was named Jig. I always get lyrics wrong!
Paradigmsearch contemplates getting a cat. Paradigmsearch contemplates checking paypal.
Pardon me, everyone has a bit of a 'paradigm-searching' going on within the self, but rarely is able express themselves legibly...
right now watching Pink Panther at age 32 and wondering if its okay to satisfy the child in me wanting to watch cartoons once in a while...
'paradigm-searching' is something like trying to stitch (in vain) several visible gaps created by life, humanity, time and the consciousness...

Things seem to be odd lately with Google, not sure if others are noticing it as well. One thing I noticed the other day when searching some keywords is that there were several spam websites oddly ranking on page 3 of Google among other reputable, well-known websites. Very odd. Also, why...

Some times I get really dumb questions. For instance, some asked "Are dragons real?" are a hub that was all about the reasons for dragon myths and which made clear that dragons are not real. Should I give a brief response: "No, dragons are not real." Or should I just...

Do you think it is important to add follow-up comments when people answer your questions?When I answer a question or leave a comment on someone's hub, I appreciate some awknowledgement. I feel surprised (and a bit "cheated" when there is no response) Am I setting my expectations too...

How important is it to have a comment section on your hubs, or How important is it to respond?I was going through some of the hubs that belong to some of the top paid hubbers ( info found on the success story page) and a lot of those people do not respond to comments. In fact, many of their...

When you receive a comment on one of your hubs, do you always post back with a comment? Or, just when there is something to post back about. For example if someone just comments that it is a nice hub, do I need to comment back to them? Thanks!
by Sandi 13 years ago
Why can't I respond more than once to the people that respond to a question I posed?I asked a question and people responded in a way I wanted to acknowledge. I responded once and when I tried to respond again I was not allowed! Ugh! I want to interact with the hubbers that answer the question and I...
