Haaaaaaaaaaaa,funny as ever..this is a good idea for polaroid classic-folks forced to stand six feet apart-moe stand by-but six feet away!
You don't mind if I sit by.....six feet away?
That sounds very sensible, Moe.
Not only will it help to keep virus at bay [[in each direction, of course)...but you can also act as a prompt, to help Arr&bee with his lines while on stage here...:rolleyes:
Westgrand,
Stage fright does NOT exist in R&B's vocabulary:D
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA..MOE YOU KNOW ME SO WELL,maybe i should've put these words six feet apart,hehehehehe!!
Arr&bee, some of your words should be six feet UNDER....:rolleyes:
I feeling inspired and we know what comes next-a great polaroid classic...that's right kiddies uncle arr&bee is back-stay tuned!!!
Now quickly kiddies, you must come inside as quick as you can, if you know what's good for you........

Nobody else on this Earth could possibly be THAT funny, Arr&bee.
Except that Donald Trump doesn't seem at all 'funny humorous'... he's plain 'funny strange'. He's a real danger to y'all!
They may be really old now - old enough to be DT's parents - but you'd still get better judgement from HM The Queen, and Prince Philip.:rolleyes:
I totally agree!!

Westgrand,
I truly get why no invites to tea with HM. She's setting a fine example of proper corona virus "social distancing" behavior:cool:
Hey moe,maybe[hm]will have a television tea with you and west..then on the other hand grady is still serving meals[underground of course]and i mean that in the literal sense-he's in a cave somewhere deep in the bowels of the hood cooking his infamous[coconut cakes-ribs-greens]i can get word to him if you and west wanna take a chance-opps-err-ahem-hehe..want a meal!!!
Moe, it would be a fine thing if we all were to have a castle, to which we could retire, wouldn't it.
Be it to avoid the Coronavirus...or tricky family issues.
As DT said "It shouldn't have happened to her".
While we say "He shouldn't have happened to you".
And Arr&bee...thank you for the update on Gradys, but cannibalism seems a far more attractive proposition :rolleyes:
Umm west-our wonderful leader furloughed the cannibals!
What's next?:confused:
Yes, imagine that, people being paid not to eat other.....:confused:

Quote for the Day:
"A great song has to make you feel a certain way.
Songs can make you happy and sad, they can help you fall in love.
They have to do something. That's when you get a reaction.
There are some songs on the radio that just play, and you don't even know they're there. You hear others, and immediately turn it up.
There's something to that. It's got to capture your ears, because that's where it hits you first.
Then it's got to soothe your soul."

Quote for the Day:
"Every chance we got, we'd be in the studio, singing background on other people's songs to make money.
Plus, they had a programme called Artist Development, where they'd teach you dance steps and various other things, to make you more professional.
So, while the groups who had hits were out on the road, we'd be working with the Artist Development people, perfecting our craft. Because we'd have no engagements!
Also, in addition to that, Pervis worked as a clerk in the Shipping Department for a while; Henry used to drive Berry's Gordy's mother around...while I used to drive one of the company station wagons.
As a matter of fact, I drove The Temptations' limousine during one of their tours!
And, I also once went out with Martha Reeves & The Vandellas, as their chauffeur and chaperone!".

Quote for the Day:
"The other day I drove into the garage of my Palm Springs house with some groceries.
Suddenly, one of those tour buses pulled up and a voice said, 'This is William Holden's house, and I think I just saw him pull in'.
I flattened myself against the garage wall - the garage was separate from the house - and tried to hide.
But the bags got heavy, so I thought 'To hell with it' and walked out.
And the voice said, 'There he is, folks. I told you he'd come out sooner or later."
