Thanks for the latest eye candy giesta. Reminds me of the tumbling drum that spreads the color on M&Ms.

The "cake for breakfast" conversation made an old timey song pop into my head -- *twang twang* "Lord preserve us and protect us, we've been drinkin' whiskey 'fore breakfast." lol Catchy tune it is. My head is a random place sometimes.

There are lots of versions but this is the one I hear in my head, good ol' Mike Cross, a North Carolina fiddler. Makes me wanna slap my thigh and stomp my foot, get out a pair of spoons. O yeah.

And here's somebody's idea of all the words:

Whiskey Before Breakfast

Early one morning 'fore the sun could shine
I was walkin' down the street, not feelin' so fine
I saw two old men with a bottle between' em
And this is the song that I heard them singin'

chorus:
Lord preserve us and protect us
We been drinkin' whiskey 'fore breakfast

I passed by the steps where they were a' sittin'
I couldn't believe how drunk they were gettin'
I said "Old men you been drinkn' long?"
"Long enough to be singin' this song"

They handed me a bottle, said, "Take a little sip"
And it felt so good, I just couldn't quit
So I took a little more, next thing I knew
There were three of us sittin' there singin' this tune

One by one everybody in town
Heard our ruckus and they all came down
Pretty soon all the streets were a-ringin'
With the sound of the whole town laughin' and singin'

NC has fine history of bootlegging moonshine whiskey.

I always thought the words were "been drinking whiskey FOR breakfast," not 'FORE (as in before).

Can you just see the whole buncha them good ol' boys having whiskey (be)fore breakfast, then staggering to the nearest Waffle House FOR breakfast. lol

LoL No, nowhere near Lizard Lick. I lived near Winston-Salem for about 7 years and near Charlotte for 1 year. Always lived on the outskirts. (My mom doesn't like living in the city.)

Funny Fact about Lizard Lick, though: When Yoshi's Story came out, it was first released in Lizard Lick. Get it? Yoshi's a lizard, and he licks stuff! I thought that was so hilarious at the time. xd

I am very happy today. ^8^

I got my CD I ordered from Best Buy,

I now finally own a original copy of O-ZONE--- Dragostea Din Tei
AKA--The "Numa Numa Song".

And I have been blasting it on my car's CD player. ^8^

@ Kin - That's funny that Yoshi the lizard liked to lick stuff. Cause that's how Lizard Lick got its name. From lizards licking the corn mash that spilled out of the kettles. According to the former mayor. Did you live anywhere near Midway (way outside W-S)? It's got the best li'l hardware store.

@ Giesta - cool. Now you have to learn to lip sync the NumaNuma song and make a youtube video of you doing it.

@ Jellowind - I think you'll have to get your own NumaNuma CD. And make a lip sync vid.
