What You Do....

For some reason that song is in my head, but I can't grab the whole thing. Dammit, I hate when you get a lyric stuck and can't shake it loose. It's pretty easy to do also, when you're walking around with the equivalent to an entire Widespread Panic tour in your damn head. Help me out here, it's an old Motown song that a bunch of dudes just shout out "What you do...." Shit, I. Give. Up. Can't get it.

Anyhoo, I have spent the last seventy hours trying to save y'all money on a renovation on a housing project on the coast. Methinks that there are some underhanded dealings going on with that Katrina money, so I went through the entire project and put together a cost estimate, lo and behold, Deddy was right. There's about a million in graft there, and I found six line items that just do not add up. I mean, other than the labor which is to be performed by 100% illegal aliens that DO NOT PAY TAXES OR FICA. Whoever keeps telling us that they do, dammit, those folks are living in a dream world. Oh well.

Here's comedy.

yeah, I've got two very... random songs stuck in my head at once. :P

Paul Mitchell said...

That can't be good. Hopefully they are the genre, that would help.

Sarah M. Arnold said...

Not really. One is Josh Groban's cover of "My December" (originally by Linkin Park) and the other is the acoustic version of John Mayer's "Your Body is a Wonderland". Oy.

Paul Mitchell said...

Yeah, sorry for you. I'm a straight man, so I have never heard these tunes by those androgynous girly-boys.

Sarah M. Arnold said...

Oh please. You just don't know good music when you hear it. Then again, I listen to just about everything except contemporary Christian music and gangsta rap, so I can't talk too much.

If I like Coldplay does that make me gay?

Denise said...

TD, can you give anything else to go on? I've come up with songs from everyone from Aretha Franklin to the Temptations to the Jackson Five. Any other words pop into that head of yours yet?

Paul Mitchell said...

Denise, that is it, the words are more or less just spoken and there is a break after it. But thanks for me reminding me since I had forgotten when I went to sleep.

The humanity!

"They smile in your face, all the time they wanna take your place, The Backstabbers (backstabbers.."?

Ladies and gentlemen, TXMarko wins the brand new, fully loaded, all-wheel drive Cadillac Escalade, rolling on dubs with the full X-Box system. Thank you so very much, Rocky Top shall win every game until the end of the season. The SUV is in the mail.

Salute.

Sweet.

I would even trade the SUV for the last 2 Vol victories.

Paul Mitchell said...

TXMarko, any other year, Vandy, Bluegrass would be those two victories. This year, it would be a very high unlikely occurrence. Sorry, you gotta take the Escalade, that is easier.

What's funny is that the Vandy game is going to be televised. WTF?
