so? we should watch more TV?
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Don't tell my husband. He's been looking for a way to make me get rid of books.
omnis, I understand. I'll miss seeing you though.

All is well that ends in pizza.
The key to karaoke for the infrequent indulger is to find a song or two in your comfort range and practice it a few times before going out...maybe more.
That way when faced by the big screen and the situation, you can be a bit more confident.
I pick novelty songs, for the most part. I once got complimented for my rendition of Henry the 8th.
When I was in voice, doing a musical and having some free time, I practiced Sultans of Swing and nailed it at Karaoke one week. Got a "you've done this before" from the M.C. Heh.

I once did "Leader of the Pack," which worked quite well due to the fact that it was the end of the night and we got a few complete strangers to come up on stage with me to sing backup. My boss at the time joined in with the "vroom vroom" motorcycle sounds.

The key to karaoke is just surrounding to the goofy awesomeness of it!

I pick the one or two in my range, unless it's a sing along with the girls.
My fave? Drag show. Me and two girlfriends (G and HK for BC, who knows them) were called up to the stage because we looked like we were having too much fun to "Goodbye Earl"

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
The key to karaoke is to believe the people that tell you they can't sing.
Steph -- ma~~~ and peace to you and your family.
Bookcase -- living room 8 by 8 -- full of books the day after it was finished. 5 other small bookcases -- all overfull. Stacks of books here an there.

Now tagless for your comfort.
And thus the Great Migration of mathoms and gifts and ebay and Goodwill was begun.
How much do I love Beverly for using the word "mathoms?"
