15 OCT 04 TELEPHONE MAN

Or actually the Cable guy . . my phone is cable

BUT . . and here's the irony . . . I'm going to be off line (I think)
For the weekend . . . .
Cuz (and GET THIS!) my Anti-virus software has a VIRUS!!!!
(Hush, DAVID . . I know . . Macs don't get viruses)

Now back to more FUN things =]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
""Hey, baby, I'm your telephone man
You just show me where you want it and I'll put it where I can
I can put it in the bedroom, I can put it in the hall
I can put it in the bathroom, I can hang it on the wall
You can have it with a buzz, you can have it with a ring
And if you really want it you can have a ding-a-ling
Because-a hey baby, I'm your telephone man"

Can you believe that? And then he says:

"Now when other fellas call ya tell 'em how it all began"

Well...can you imagine?

My heart began a-thumpin' and my mind began to fly
And I knew I wasn't dealin' with no ordinary guy
So while he was a-talking I was thinkin' up my plan
Then my fingers did the walkin' on the telephone man

Singin' hey lolly, lolly
Hey lolly, lolly
Hey lolly, lolly
Get it any way you can
Right? Ha ha ha, so...

I got it in the bedroom, and I got it in the hall
And I got it in the bathroom, and he hung it on the wall
I got it with a buzz, and I got it with a ring
And when he told me what my number was I got a ding-a-ling

A-singin' hey lolly, lolly
Hey lolly, lolly
Hey lolly, lolly
Just-a doin' my thing"

You are REALLLLY old if you remember this novelty song =]

Never heard that song before. Nice color on his raincoat.

Cool photo, Pete! I like the bright yellow thru the louvres ...
Drag about your virus!
Guest 16-Oct-2004 15:46
Well, I don't remember it but the lyrics make me smile!
Guest 16-Oct-2004 15:03
you're hilarious pete! sorry about the virus though...how ironic. hope to see you back online soon!
Guest 16-Oct-2004 11:28
Antivirus suit...??? Beautiful colors!!! Hope it's easy "to kill" this virus!!!
Karen Stuebing16-Oct-2004 11:22
I love the photo. Does he tell jokes too? "Git 'er done." :)

Nope, don't remember the song. And I'm old.
Dominic Kite16-Oct-2004 07:28
Now that IS ironic! Looks like we were sharing similar weather yesterday too!
jypsee16-Oct-2004 05:03
I remember it; and I remember loving the double entendre...
Guest 16-Oct-2004 03:32
Great composition and use of color
Guest 16-Oct-2004 03:18
Ok, you're crazy! I certified it! This is a hoot, not that your anti-virus has a virus, but the rest of your caption! Can I stop laughing now?
Karen Leaf16-Oct-2004 01:14
Could he be the phone guy from Gorton?? Funny song, not so about the virus. Hope it's a quick resolution.
Steve Pepple16-Oct-2004 00:13
Very nice capture.

Macs don't get viruses because people don't hate Steven Jobs as much as they do Bill Gates and don't write them. This is a great photo ... hope you get back online soon.

Jude: I think we're around the same age, so your memory must be going. But being a guy I just remember that Meri Wilson was a bit of a 'dolly bird'.
Nice capture, Pete - I hope this wasn't Linda's fault..
jude15-Oct-2004 21:25
I don't remember that song and I'm REALLY old.. must have been one of those alcohol-related brain cell death victims..

Sigh
Guest 15-Oct-2004 20:59
hmm wish I could see his face. Lovely shot. sorry to hear about the virus
Guest 15-Oct-2004 20:58
LOL That's definitely something you don't hear about everyday! Good luck with that Pete!
northstar3715-Oct-2004 20:25
sorry about the virus, tsk :-(
northstar3715-Oct-2004 20:24
Reminds me of one of the characters in a horror film, or maybe Scooby doo where the mask is ripped off at the end...
Robin Reid15-Oct-2004 20:23
LOL @ Adal. Don't know that I'd trust this guy ;-)
That is the pits about your virus software.
Adalberto Tiburzi15-Oct-2004 20:19
Intriguing capture. Seems a fisherman, or George Clooney in "Perfect Storm".
Or a Postman, the one who always rings twice ;-)
Jill15-Oct-2004 20:04
Your virus software with virus!!! And your sence of humor is contagious. Laughing like a banchee I am.
Guest 15-Oct-2004 19:58
Not sure if the song was better than the picture. Both were great!
Guest 15-Oct-2004 19:54
LOL....Your right I was too fast. First time for everything!!!
Guest 15-Oct-2004 19:50
LOL.....reminded me of the song "The Telephone Man", as least I think that was the name. Somewhat a slap stick song from years ago. Hope for sunny days this weekend!
Guest 15-Oct-2004 19:49
Now I thought it was the Gorton Fisherman!!!
