From last night's Pub-

Then he exclaimed, “daddy! That could be a Dr. Seuss book!“.

OR- I assume you've introduced him to "The Tough Coughs As He Ploughs The Dough"

Thanks. Kris Kristofferson has the distinction that his very popular songs are often associated with someone else-

Sunday Morning Coming Down with  Johnny Cash, and Me and Bobby (or Bobbie) McGee with Janis Joplin

I used to have a bunch of Kris' records, still have a couple. Like Bob Dylan, and as you said his voice is often not the best vehicle for his songs. One thing that is kind of fun on youtube is to find a song and then listen to it as covered by different artists.

In contrast, Little OR let me sleep in until 7:05 this morning, which was “really” 8:05 (pre-“fall back”). He was quietly playing in the living room.  I was appreciative.

Little OR shows his nonconformist streak when it comes to school picture-taking time; but they do eventually get a few good ones.

I woke up feeling relatively refreshed this morning.  Still took forever to get kids ready -- I had to drop them off at church (they were singing today) and go back home to get my shower.  Teenage girl.

Those walls were awful thin

Not sure if I know how to link something.  Anybody see this?  Creepy Joe just keeps getting creepier.  If Trump would have made this comment it would have been because he's such a perv. Maybe the crowd would have just booed him like at like at the UFC event at Madison Square Garden.  I'm not a fan of Professional Wrestling, but even I could figure out that it's part of the fun.  Too bad the media are such old scolds, they could have joined in the fun instead of taking everything so serious.

Your link worked fine. 

Right now, Joe Biden comes out on top of the polls - but don't trust the polls. As my wife says, few people want to admit they did or will vote for Trump.

Since Trump has changed his residence from New York to Florida, I'd really like to see a group of Florida Jews form a pro-Trump organization, "the Orange Jews."

WSJ had a good piece on polls.  At this time in 2015 Ben Carson was the top polling Republican.  A lot can happen between now and next February.

Reply to Kosh's Shadow in 14:   Thanks, now if I can just remember what I did!  I hope your wife is right about people just not wanting to admit they'd vote for Trump.  My son bought a "Trump 2020" hat and I hate to admit it, but I warned him to be careful where he wears it.  Locally it won't be a problem; but in the city, it could get you beaten up.

I see more Trump signs around here than for anyone else. But then, I live in a redneck part of Massachusetts.

(Last election, Hillary got a plurality in the town, but Trump+Johnson(libertarian) got more than Hillary even if you add in Jill Stein's votes (Green party)

Where we live is cheap for Massachusetts - house prices 1/2 what they are 20 miles closer to Boston.

Lots of industry, though, and lots of help wanted signs. CDL drivers, production, etc. 

Many retired military. 

Our across the street neighbors have a excavating company,  and they work for it.  And they hunt - funny seeing the hunters in cammo and orange.

Edwards is also the crow who sings "I Be Done Seen 'Bout Everything, When I See a Elephant Fly" in "Dumbo."

Reply to buzzsawmonkey in 30:   I feel bad for the children today.  What classics they are missing.  I remember my son laughing hysterically at those shows.  A lot of it went over his head, but it appealed to people of all ages that way.  The adults enjoyed it as much as the children.  Some people would probably say, "see, that's why he wears a Trump hat today!"

Sadly, I can't find the Danny Yates Orchestra version online; it has more verses, such as:

She loves the man who buys her dinner

She loves the guy who sends her flowers

She loves the man who gives her diamonds, and the rare perfumes in showers

She loves the man who likes grand opera, with a hifalutin' name

But in a movie show, when the lights are low, she loves me just the same....

"Dumbo" is basically "The Ugly Duckling," with a big dollop of mother-love.  And the animation is fantastic.  Walt Kelly, the creator of the "Pogo" comic strip, was one of the animators on "Dumbo."

Years ago - and I mean 45-50 years ago, I had a paper that gave a variation of the Ugly Duckling story in an Italian accent, if you could sound it out.

It was something like Deagully Ducklingh

I remember a line "She goin down the grocary and buyin alf a dozene eggs"

You would think it would be somewhere on the internet by now.

Sounds like a variation on Milt Gross' "Nize Baby," which were poetic bits in the "archy and mehitabel" mode between a mother and her baby, done in a Yiddish accent with malaprops aplenty.  If I recall aright, Gross also did a comic strip along these lines.

Here's a better (or at least interestingly variant) version: "She Loves Me Just the Same" by Rudy Vallee

Not only do you get the missing verse I quoted above, but the song intro as well!
