I'm not trying to blow this site up but I have another thing I wish to share with whoever's interested.
Last night while I was preparing some stir-fry dinner, I was listening to the Marshall Tucker Band. Most are familiar with "Heard it in a Love Song" and "Can't You See". It struck me that you Old West fans in this forum might enjoy giving them a listen if you are not familiar with them.
These Old West themed songs almost transport you back:
Desert Skies
Searchin for a Rainbow
Fire on the Mountain
Virginia
Never Trust a Stranger
and of course, many more...

and it's almost St Paddy's Day, so here's a wee joke fer ye:
An attractive blonde from Cork, Ireland arrived at the casino. She seemed a little intoxicated and bet twenty-thousand Euros on a single roll of the dice. She said, 'I hope you don't mind, but I feel much luckier when I'm completely nude'.
With that, she stripped from the neck down, rolled the dice and with an Irish brogue yelled, 'Come on, baby, Mama needs new clothes!'
As the dice came to a stop, she jumped up and down and squealed...'YES! YES! I WON, I WON!'
She hugged the dealer and each of the players and then picked up her winnings and her clothes and quickly departed. The dealers stared at each other dumbfounded. Finally, one of them asked, 'What did she roll?'
The other answered, 'I don't know - I thought you were watching.'
MORAL OF THE STORY -
Not all Irish are drunks,
Not all blondes are dumb,
But all men...are men.
