Jazz Bass said...: after having his blood changed to prevent dying from heroin. after staying up seven days in a row on a drug fueled speed laced binge, after sobering up and continuing to milk that cash cow every five years...that's pretty funny. why was he up there is my question...just relaxing, most likely, i think?

anyhoo. this is a big reason i like ann's blog. i came for the politics and stayed for the slice 'o life.; 4/29/06, 12:41 PM
chuck b. said...: I came for the NYT, but I guess we have to read it ourselves today. She's out of town.; 4/29/06, 12:45 PM
Lonesome Payne said...: Any onlookers have been handed the greatest 'vacation story' of all time. "I saw the guy shoot the Archduke!" would maybe rival it.

Mick has long claimed to be a monkey man; perhaps Keith was jealous. (Sorry. I earlier tried a line involving "ya-yas" but it didn't quite work.); 4/29/06, 12:50 PM

Ann Althouse said...: I kept wanting to work in the line "No one I think is in my tree..."; 4/29/06, 1:10 PM
Pat Patterson said...: After a while Keith woke up, covered in monkey poo and coconut husks, and assured the horrified onlookers that indeed, "No one I think is in my tree."; 4/29/06, 1:18 PM
SippicanCottage said...: Pat-
"After a while Keith woke up, covered in monkey poo and coconut husks"

This is unusual how, exactly?; 4/29/06, 2:04 PM
Pat Patterson said...: Coconuts in the palm tree, monkeys in the palm tree eating out of the coconuts and QED, monkey poo and coconut husks. Maybe the monkeys didn't like the last Stones album or the ten or fifteen before that one.; 4/29/06, 2:30 PM

Once upon a time you dressed so fine

You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn’t you?

People’d call, say, beware doll, you’re bound to fall

Outta the tree

Now you don’t seem so proud

How does it feel
