Aren't you supposed to call a doctor after 4 hours? :o :o :o
Only if you didn't want it to last that long.
If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Life is short, live long!!

I'd rather be a wiseass than a dumbass.

Don't tell me what it is yet!!! I can hear it, but I can't... :-? But I am soooo damb determined to figure it out!
When you figure it out, SkoolGrl, PM me and let me know. I haven't got it yet either.
I'm pretty sure it's nothing I've ever performed at Karaoke Night at the Tiki Bar.

Hmmmm, I wasn't intending for it to be a big mystery ..... kinda figured "Trip Around the Sun" was a logical choice for an anniversary.
I guess it would have helped if I had heard the original song at some point in my life.......

I'm pretty sure (now), that 'Bits based his song parody on this .... "A Trip Around The Sun". Thanks Dude! :D

TRIP TO CRITTERVILLE

Can't believe it's Critterversary
We've been treated to so many strips
This year gone by was filled with jokes and quips
Every day's a revelation
No matter what it's not complete until
We get a chance to take a trip to Critterville

We're just hangin' on while SP's brain is workin'
And we never know which way the plot line flows
Around the Critters thread we'll all be lurkin'
'Cause we want to know just where the story goes

We don't always see it comin'
Wonderin' where the Critters wandered to
Only time will tell what they will say or do
It's a comical sensation
And we know we'll never get our fill
Of these memories of our trip to Critterville

We're just hangin' on while SP's brain is workin'
And we never know which way the plot line flows
Around the Critters thread we'll all be lurkin'
'Cause we want to know just where the story goes

Yes we'll make a resolution
That we'll read as long as SP will
Take us for the ride on a trip to Critterville
Take us for the ride .....


Thanks for the laughs, SP ..... here's to another year! :D

SP, thanks for a great year. I have stayed up many a night waiting for you to post the next day's BN critters at 11ish my time most of the time. Then there were the nights that even I had to give up and wait till the next morning LOL!!

Kudos to both:

SP for the fun, giggles, and occasional Pepsi Syndrome moments over the past year.......
and Bits for the masterful work in writing the lyrics to the Anniversary Tribute.
   (I refuse to sully such fine work with the label of 'parody'. Weird Al does parodies; this was art!)

... that we let the Critters out to play
they've been goin' in and out of style
but I hope at least once they made you smile.


OK, I'll leave the song parodies to 'Bits, he's better at it than I am.

One year ago today, the following appeared here in a post at BuffettNews .....

And then for some unknown reason, I wrote another and posted it the next day.....

Well, one thing led to another and I've posted over 200 of these in the past year. I never thought I'd be able to keep it up for an entire year, but somehow I did. Thank you for a lot if idiotic inspiration along the way. It's been fun.

Cool!!! Happy anniversary, and good job!!
