Dear Friends and Schoolmates,

BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXk1md-wwjI - Kiss Me Goodbye - Petula Clark, 1968
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiss_Me_Goodbye_%28Petula_Clark_song%29:
| Kiss Me Goodbye is a
Les Reed/
Barry Mason
composition recorded in 1968 by
Petula Clark. ... Released in February 1968 , "Kiss Me Goodbye" rose swiftly up the Billboard Hot 100 to enter the Top 20 at #16 on the chart dated 23 March 1968 representing a considerable a comeback for Clark whose last two US singles had been Top 20 shortfalls. However despite being showcased on Clark's 2 April 1968 Petula NBC-TV special, "Kiss Me Goodbye" would rise no higher than #15 - although the track was ranked as high as #12 in Cash Box and #10 in Record World) - and would mark Clark's final appearance in the Top 30 of the Billboard Hot 100 where the follow-up "Don't Give Up" would peak at #37. ("Don't Give Up" would peak at respectively #27 and #23 in Cash Box and Record World: in all three trades it would be Clark's last Top 40 hit.)... |

From
Glenn Dye
('60) of TX - 03/01/11 - "AIR FORCE
TEST - WILL DRIVE YOU CRAZY!":
|
This will drive
you nuts!! Have fun!
The object of the game
is to move the red block around without getting hit by the blue
blocks or touching the black walls.
If you can
go longer than 18 seconds on any one test, you are
phenomenal. It's been said that the US Air Force uses
this for fighter pilots.
They are expected to go for at least 2 minutes.
Give it a try but be
careful...it is addictive (or forward it to someone you want to
frustrate)!!
Thanks,
Glenn!

| Trouble At The Country House At dawn the telephone rings. "Hello, Senor Humphrey? This is Ernesto, the caretaker at your country house." "Ah yes, Ernesto. What can I do for you? Is there a problem?" "Um, I am just calling to advise you, sir, that your parrot died." "My parrot? Dead? The one that won the international competition?" "Si, that's the one." "!@#$! That's a pity! I spent a small fortune on that bird. What did he die from?" "From eating rotten meat." "Rotten meat? Who the %^&* fed him rotten meat?" "Nobody, senor. He ate the meat of one of the dead horses." "Dead horse? What dead horse?" "The thoroughbred, Mr. Lucky. He died from all that work pulling the water cart." "Are you insane? What water cart?" "The one we used to put out the fire." "Good !@#$! What fire are you talking about, man?" "The one at your house! A candle fell and the curtains caught on fire." "What the.....!!! But there's electricity at the house!!!! What was the candle for?" "For the funeral." "WHAT !@#$%^& FUNERAL?!" "Your mother's. She showed up one night out of the blue and I thought she was a thief, so I hit her with your new Tiger Woods Nike Driver." SILENCE.................... "Ernesto, if you broke that driver, you're fired!"

The young man was quite peeved about it. I’m calling HOpe5567. “There is no such exchange as Rope,” said the operator. “Gee,” said the operator, “that phone booth must be awfully crowded. |

Kiss Me Goodbye
Written by Les Reed (b. 24 July 1935) and
Barry MasonRecorded by
Petula Clark (b. 15 Nov 1932), 1968We choose it,
win or lose it
Love is never quite the same
I love you, now I've lost you
Don't feel bad, you're not to blame
So kiss me goodbye and I'll try not to cry
All the tears in the world won't change your mind
There's someone new and she's waiting for you
Soon your heart will be leaving me behind
Linger awhile, then I'll go with a smile
Like a friend who just happened to call
For the last time pretend your are mine
My darling, kiss me goodbye
I know now I must go now
Though my heart wants me to stay
That girl is your tomorrow
I belong to yesterday
So kiss me goodbye and I'll try not to cry
All the tears in the world won't change your mind
There's someone new and she's waiting for you
Soon your heart will be leaving me behind
Linger awhile, then I'll go with a smile
Like a friend who just happened to call
For the last time pretend your are mine
My darling, kiss me goodbye
My darling kiss me goodbye

There are several very
