I Know...How Could I Possibly Get Rid of This???



I'm purging again. And this time it's serious. I started the process (this one) about a year and a half ago. It continues. The goal is to cut my possessions by half.

I am EVEN giving up my Pablo Cruise girlie tank top. Acquired that night in 1979 when I met them in person and got my picture taken on various pop-rock laps. They were crazy, I tellya. Get this: the lead singer skateboarded onto the stage. Take THAT, Ozzy Osbourne! You and your silly chomping on bats.

    Oh man. Things ARE getting serious. Next thing you'll be telling us that you finally decided to get rid of the flourescent orange crocs.

    "It's time to find your place in the sun!"--from my late-70s mail order cassette tape club. Took a while for my parents to get over that!

    CROCS?! I do NOT own any CROCS. I would NEVER own those nasty things.

    OK, they're not that nasty. They're just ugly.

    Although I HAVE seen them look cute with certain outfits. Carefully coordinated ensembles.

    Orange ones could be really cute.

    Gotta go!

    Is Pablo still alive? We were playing celebrity dead or alive last weekend.

    I love orange crocs! I see them all over town every time "I Go To Rio"!

    All the members of Pablo are alive, I'm happy to say.

    Tony, Pablo Cruise was a very groovy pop group in the mid-to-late 70s. Feel-good upbeat ballads about Rio and such. I loved them.

    At one time, my three favorite groups all had the same "ooooo" sound: Pablo Croooose, Dooooobie Brothers, and Moooooody Bloooooose.

    Right, oneavid. You SEE crocs. You don't WEAR them. Except for you DO.

    Don't know about orange crocs but do know something of Orange Julius. Got me a big ol' Jack Daniels breathing hug from Janis Joplin back in '68 when I let her cut in line in front of me at the Orange Julius booth for one at the Texas Jam - my scrape with fame and possibly a communicable disease...

    Dude, I don't even know who Pablo Cruise is, but I want that shirt! (And I'll bet you look hot in it. Did you run this by Scott?)

    E., you are a ROCK AND ROLL GIRL and you MUST go study up on Pablo.

    And about the shirt, Scott is THRILLED any time I get rid of ANYTHING. Even if it's HIS stuff.

    JWebb, I love scrapes with fame stories. I wonder if Janis ever gave hugs that did NOT reek of Jack.
