Who did it? PFunk??

[westgrandboulevard]

Even The Funk Brothers were de-Funked, when Hitsville was closed [[the day the music died...)

[moe]

Unfortunately, that is the case, westgrand!!

[westgrandboulevard]

Never mind. We have all the recorded proof we need of their amazing talent!

[moe]

Very true.......so many talented ones, so little time!!

[westgrandboulevard]

I wish I had a band track only version, for each Motown song I've ever heard...

[moe]

There are some instrumentals on the director's cut of Standing in the Shadows of Motown. Is that what you mean?

[westgrandboulevard]

Yes, exactly. I have that set, and the tracks are wonderful...and I also have all the Motown karaoke discs.

No, I really did mean ALL the others. Sometimes, I'd like to be able to hear everyone who is playing the music, and what..and the vocals can make that difficult.

[moe]

Yes, we can all come over and do karaoke!!! Bring the hooch, R&B; we'll need it!!!

[westgrandboulevard]

It's going to be a very long evening!

[moe]

Oh, and bring earplugs!!

[westgrandboulevard]

And Auto-Tune.....

[144man]

Where is R&B and his hooch when you need them?

[westgrandboulevard]

He's off somewhere, sharpening up his screen appeal, ready for the movie project.

[arr&bee]

That's right i'm down here at the bottom of death valley,getting ready for the golden turkey awards being held here..it's gonna be big,you,144man,moe,and jerry need to get down here...don't worry about those eggs being thrown that's the love being shown.

[westgrandboulevard]

Hmmmmm....

'Bottom of Death Valley' and 'eggs being thrown' don't sound like a really promising career move.

I had better speak to my agent, and my security people. And my stylist is developing a lot of attitude, also...

[arr&bee]

You know those buzzards feel right at home here.

[westgrandboulevard]

You're talking about turkey buzzards, but which are really vultures, right?

[moe]

Maybe they want in on the action!!!

[westgrandboulevard]

Dead keen!

[arr&bee]

I'm outta the movie business after this fiasco..now the buzzards are protesting on the advise of their lawyer[the vulture]they say that the[golden turkey awards]are an embarassment to birds and that all birds should boycott this fine motion picture[who knew that buzzards were birds??]now thier feathers have been ruffled,but i spoke with the golden turkeys and they're cool with it,of course they don't care for buzzards or vultures...somewhere a leprecaun is smiling.

[westgrandboulevard]

Have they heard of our plans to remake Hitchcock's 'The Birds' - ?

[moe]

We will have to hire many, westgrand. That means they will have a job!!

[144man]

We could use those vultures in a zombies movie. It's death-defying, putrefying.

[westgrandboulevard]

The audience won't look too healthy, either.

The National Coroners' Association will make block bookings. Attendance at the 'Meet and Greet' after each performance will be mandatory.

[arr&bee]

Yeah,and the pickins will be slim.

[westgrandboulevard]

Weight Watchers would have much more potential - especially to a vulture.

[144man]

The hyenas wouldn't have anything to laugh over.

[moe]

They're probably friends with R&B!!

[westgrandboulevard]

That should keep them well stocked in laughs, with that 'wonderful elixur' and all....

[moe]

The extremes some will go through to get that imaginary elixir.......

[westgrandboulevard]

It's their imagination leading them on. Like a mirage, in their mind. They are Disciples of Drink.

[moe]

And they will search for it for a long time......like searching for R&B. Does he really exist?

[westgrandboulevard]

I suupose none of us exist here as we really are in person - so I guess not.

But it all makes life more fun, don't it!!

[moe]

Yes indeed. We are all figments of our own imagination

[westgrandboulevard]

I spend just enough time visualising the person I would like to be, right up to the point where it then starts to depress me....LOL

[moe]

HaHa!! I remember what Popeye always said:
"I yam what I yam."

[westgrandboulevard]

Well, so were Bluto and Olive Oyl, but I wouldn't like to be them, either... LOL

[arr&bee]

Haaaaaaaaaaaa,you can't see the wind but you know it's real,can't see air but you know it's real i could be real or a figment of your imagination..[no that;s not possible because i'm a figment of my imagination]glad i cleared that up....what was i saying???

[westgrandboulevard]

Wouldn't it be easier if we simply gave you a script to learn?

[arr&bee]

Script???hey i'm working on my next classic motion picture...a little girl and her pet peeve gets kicked out of detox and land in a strange land ruled by a mysterious ruler called the guzzler of oozz,all she has to do is follow the dirty brick alleyway to get home,i'm getting excited about this classic in the making,i'm thinking[betty white]as the little girl...this is gonna be big,who's with me,let's get to work.

[westgrandboulevard]

If Betty White is playing the little girl, aren't we a tad too late...?

[144man]

How about casting Diana Wilson?

[westgrandboulevard]

Is there a highly talented individual of that name, or should I perhaps be thinking of a supreme hybrid...?

[144man]

I refuse to answer that question on the grounds of personal safety.

[westgrandboulevard]

Just what we all need. Arr&bee as the producer, with a leading lady who has a 50/50 split personality, each of them having fans with some degree of the same disorder.

And anyway, I've seen evidence [['on this here forum') of you throwing caution to the wind....

[144man]

...what, you mean like my saying that the Kaiser Chiefs' cover of "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" on Youtube isn't as good as McFly's version?

[westgrandboulevard]

Nothing so simple. No, I'm talking about you facing down some detractors of a certain high-profile member, and firmly requesting evidence of their alleged misdeeds.

We had fire and ambulance crews on red alert, counsellors being ordered out of meetings to attend 'at once', and a couple of ladies from a local WI poised in readiness, to proffer a nice cup of tea.

[144man]

I'm always ready for a nice cup of tea and a slice of cake.

[westgrandboulevard]

Well then, I hope you weren't disappointed.

I sat transfixed, a monument to horror, while you flew in the face of adversity. Slow release energy was most definitely required here, I can tell you....
