Blogaudience, I have not figured out how to add comments to my own posts in order to respond to your recent comments, therefore, I will do so by a new post. I am sure this approach violates some kind of universal blog protocol but, I really don't care.
Rainbow Flyer:
I knew if I used some Latin medical terminology I could draw you away from your doctorly duties for a little while. It worked. Maybe you can submit my last blog on the bicycle seat problem to your sports injury class for some extra credit. By the way, the next time you don't finish your homework in that comparative religion class, just tell the professor that your dogma got run over by your karma.
Flodown:
Thanks for the props and the comparisons to the great Dave Chapelle. Most people don't know that you were a philosophy major in college. Never forget that the sign over the tuxedo rental shop owned by the two Greek philosophers, Euripides and Eumenides.
Dirty Di:
Fluffy covers on bicycle seats? Come On. You have been looking at too many of the bathrooms on those parade of homes tours in Garland. I don't care if you are out in the middle of the wilderness carreening around on folding bikes. If one of those Colorado survivalists caught you riding around the Rockies on a fluffy covered bicycle seat, you would be history. On anopther subject, "Harvey" was great.
Nod Suave:
I did not catch the full impact of your Llance Armstrong reference until the second reading, then I about fell off my chair. After sufficient time has passed I am sure I will honor you by stealing that line. Remember, to steal a great line from one person is plagiary, but to steal from many is research.
Doogie:
I am going to have to introduce you to Dirty Di. I am sure she can get you a good price on a fluffy cover for your banana seat. Banana seats weren't around in my day, but I can tell you this . The only way they would improve the comfort quotient would to give them a 90 degree turn before trying to sit on them while riding a bike. A banana seat has all of the same problems as every DUNLAP model bike seat in existence....The problem is that your buns done lapped over the sides of the seat.
Keep those comments coming, I am still waiting for some ABBA answers.
Commish...pd here. good to see you! I like your, I don't give a $hit attitude about blogging. Its your space here, all yours right here....we are all just borrowing a little bit of your special time. And if you need any technical help. look no further....btw...I've developed some solid vacuuming skills of mine these days...

According to my research on "Fernando", the song is the reminiscing of two old soldiers.
The setting is most likely the Mexican Revolution (the internal Mexican uprising in the 20th century.)
There were certainly no battles in Texas, so my guess is that Fernando was living in Texas. He crossed the Rio Grande to join the revolution.

commish, i like your 90 degree turn idea on the banana seat (think swingset seat but none of the uncomfortable scrunching and squeezing). slap one of dirty di's fluffy covers on there and you've got yourself a total sleigh ride.
