<p>(Wait . My cover is blown. Quick.)</p>
<p>Yes. Yes - it is a two step, to Amarillo By Morning. The finest two step song ever written .</p>
<p>well I ain’t got a dime, but what I got is mine, I ain’t rich, but Lord - I’m free. Amarillo by morning. Amarillo’s where I’ll be.</p>
<p>All I can say is thank goodness for most of our CC posters. At least I know if I stumble across them on another ‘blog’ or message board, they will still be the same good-natured folk we find here.</p>
<p>
Either one works in its own way. as long as the rules are the same for everyone who posts, and it’s not “heavy handed” for some and “Wild West” for others.</p>

<p>aah…the Texas Two Step. </p>
<p>Thumb curled around his side belt loop, hoping the beer doesn’t get spilled down the back of my new blouse…</p>
<p>(You can still two step at the Tin Hall down the road from my house btw…)</p>
<p>
ldmom, is that you? I didn’t know we had danced. 
That’s why we drink longnecks at the SPJST Hall and at the VFW. Harder to spill while dancing. Not impossible. Just harder. ;)</p>
<p>cur, you are priceless!!!</p>
<p>This whole thread is a figurative two-step, don’t ya find curm? But maybe we did, if you were ever at the KC Hall in good ol’ Jackson County back in the '70s. (My last two-step dance was there…)</p>
<p>Cur,</p>
<p>I have never been a a big country music fan, but I LOVE the song Amarillo by Morning! Thanks for bringing back memories!</p>
<p>
It’s possible. I was a bit of a rounder, but maybe we ought to change all that and just get you back on the floor. Let’s see. I’d need to start drinking again, get back in some sort of shape to make at least a couple of laps around the big room without needing the heart paddles, raise enough money for bail, hmmmm-what are you doing in 2009?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Now don’t go overthinkin’ on me. Let’s just let the thread-jack flow.;)</p>
<p>Jeez Curm, I had Hail to the Chief stuck in my head a couple of weeks ago, now I’m to be going to Amarillo for God knows how long. Thanks sooooo much!</p>

We saw George Strait last week at the CMA awards. Awesome.</p>
<p>I am on several other internet forums and I appreciate moderators. One of the forums consists mainly of young and middle aged adults who are trying to close down the teen help industry. It is completely unmoderated and anything goes. And I do mean ANYTHING. It is truly out of control and the forum administrators will look up the IP addresses of anyone who disagrees with them and “out” the poster. It’s pretty frightening. Another prominent running forum also allows a lot of leeway and can get pretty ugly. (don’t say anything on there about any of the Ivy running coaches, though, since it is run by one of them)</p>
<p>I have talked to strangers on the internet for years, and don’t consider a lot of them strangers anymore. I have met several people from this forum and others in person. </p>
<p>I do think the relationships that form over the internet can be interesting. You have some people who appear holier than thou who are actually ■■■■■■■■ for cyber-partners! I think you just need to watch for extreme behavior either way. The kid or teen issue is a whole different story, of course.</p>
<p>^^^^ yup, yup, yup. And I thought just politics made strange bedfellows. Silly me.
I don’t know any C&W lyrics except for “I’m gonna hire a wine-o to decorate my home”… so let me know when that lyric fits into this conversation!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Now what could possibly be the fun in that? Cyber hand-holding? Cyber-kissing? Oh, you mean…nevermind. 
I don’t get out much. Sorry.</p>
<p>I’ll be looking for eight when they pull that gate, and I hope that judge ain’t blind. Amarillo by morning, Amarillo’s on my mind.</p>
<p>If you haven’t heard the Brad Paisley song ONLINE, go get it immediately. It is hysterical and truly captures the whole internet persona thing. </p>
<p>"I work down at the Pizza Pit
And I drive an old Hyundai
I still live with my mom and dad
I’m 5 foot 3 and overweight
I’m a scifi fanatic
A mild asthmatic
And I’ve never been to second base
But there’s whole nother me
That you need to see
Go checkout MySpace</p>
<p>'Cause online I’m out in Hollywood
I’m 6 foot 5 and I look damn good
I drive a Maserati
I’m a black-belt in karate
And I love a good glass of wine
It turns girls on that Im mysterious
I tell them I don’t want nothing serious
'Cause even on a slow day
I could have a three way
Chat with two women at one time
Im so much cooler online
So much cooler online</p>
<p>When I get home I kiss my mom
And she fixes me a snack
And I head down to my basement bedroom
And fire up my Mac
In real life the only time Ive ever even been to L.A
Is when I got the chance with the marching band
To play tuba in the Rose Parade</p>
<p>Online I live in Malibu
I pose for Calvin Klein, I’ve been in GQ
I’m single and I’m rich
And I’ve got a set of six pack abs that would blow your mind
It turns girls on that Im mysterious
I tell them I don’t want nothing serious
'Cause even on a slow day
I could have a three way
Chat with two women at one time
Im so much cooler online
So much cooler online</p>
<p>When you got my kind of stats
Its hard to get a date
Let alone a real girlfriend
But I grow another foot and I lose a bunch of weight
Every time I login</p>
<p>Online
Im out in Hollywood
Im 6 foot 5 and I look damn good
Even on a slow day
I could have a three way
Chat with two women at one time
Im so much cooler online
Yeah, Im cooler online
Im so much cooler online
Yeah, Im cooler online</p>
<p>Yeah, Im cooler online</p>
<p>Yeah, Ill see ya online"</p>
<p>okay…curm. 2009 it is…at the Tin Hall. I’ll dust off my old goatropers and off we’ll go. And, MoWC, zoos, curiousmother, jymmie, menlo… y’all are invited! We’ll make curm take us ALL around the floor.</p>
<p>You givin’ lessons, ldmom? I’m gonna be in a world o’ hurt out there on that dance floor.</p>
<p>Well, I’ll give it a heckuva try but there were a lot of if’s and but’s in my post. Bail money, heart paddles. </p>
<p>As my crusty yet entirely unloveable granddad used to say : If “if’s” and “but’s” were candy and nuts we’d all have a Merry Christmas. He was scary as Hell.</p>
<p>But hey, think of it this way. I could get hit by a bus between now and then. O.K… I’m in. But it may be late '09.;)</p>
<p>Love the song, MOWC. I see that Music City looks good on you.</p>
