We just saw an advertisement for a show coming to one of the local theatres here called "Celtic Men". They show one of the men singing Desperado. Don't know how that will be in an Irish accent? :headscratch:

It was very good. You might be able to catch it againQuote:

Yeah I love that part of Bonnie and Don!
Yesterday one of my classmates asked me about the music I was listening to and I told him that it were the Eagles and he said: "Ooh doesn't they have a guitarist with long curly hair and a guitarist with blond hair and a glasses" (he mention it from HFO I guess), so he knew Timothy and Joe. It was funny to hear.
Hey Danielle! Long time no see
Hi Elisa!
How are you doing? It's been a while since we talked.
Perhaps you guys could catch up in chat or private messages. :)
Great Idea, Thanks Soda
Do agree!Quote:

There's a rinky-dink Motel Frystown with a tiny sign saying "Budget Rates", and all I could think of was The Long Story! A few towns later was Fogelsville, which reminded me of Dan Fogelberg.
I've been reading a little bit everyday about Nancy's and the other's Pebble Beach stories and they are quite facinating. They were so greatly written that i feel like i was there myself.
I was having lunch with a friend today and she was telling me a story about her brother Glenn playing golf. I'm sure that i had this big dorky smile on my face because all i could think of was Glenn at Pebble Beach and Nancy and the girls' wonderful experience there.
Driving home from work tonight, I was putting LROOE on the CD player just as I turned on to Old Eagle School Road. How cool is that?
Welcome to my world, PB! Sometimes I think about it a lot too. :wink: :wink:Quote:

Too funny!
Actually you have to sing 'Take It Easy' when he's walking by, maybe he gets the clue :lol:
I was walking last week in the city and there were two boys of somewhere in the 20 and they looked like the young Don and Glenn, a friend and me where totally of earth when we saw them. And they just smiled and I think they were thinking: "Why are they almost drooling?" lol.
I'm on the next flight to the Netherlands.Quote:

The book that made that mouse famous is very popular among the 9-12 yr olds-- The Tale Of Despereaux, I think it's called. Her name is Kate DiCamille and she has a few other currently successful novels for that age group and slightly older.
Sure Louise, you can stay with me :lol:
Hahaha amazing, Never heard of Despereaux
I wasn't actually sure of where to put this as it was a direct conversation about the Eagles but I guess i'll put it here anyway....some of you know that i work as a blackjack dealer, well last week i got to a table with an older gentleman. He was really nice and friendly. He was looking at my i.d. badge trying to figure out my name. I told him that my name is Jessica and he replied with "like the Allman Brothers song." "That's right" I said. I told him I liked that song but i'm much more of a fan of the Eagles. From that moment on it was all Eagles talk for the 20 minutes that I was dealing at that table. He was even tipping me every time that he won. He said that he hasn't heard the new album yet and I strongly recommended that he check it out. After I told him a little bit about the new songs he said that he was definitely going to buy the new album. I wish I could have customers like this guy at every table.
Especially if they tip all time!
Today we were out Xmas shopping at a mall near where I grew up in Jersey, where I don't usually drive to anymore. For the first time, I noticed a exit sign for Two Bridges Road---it obviously has been there all along, it's just that I never realized that it was a little thing that was supposed to remind me of the Eagles till I joined the Border!!
That would be great!! I made some good money off of that guy.Quote:

I was shopping yesterday for Christmas presents for my baby cousins, and I came across a children's book named Al's Garage (or something similar.) Anyway, I flicked to the second page and there was a fold-out garage named "Eagles Garage." Naturally, I grinned. THEN, I saw that one of the petrol pumps was labelled "Frey". The next was "Henley" and the third pump was "Walsh". I couldn't believe it! I completely freaked out in the middle of the shop.
I was sitting in AP History the other day and we were watching something the History Channel had made about somebody from early-america (i don't remember who i was half asleep) and all of a sudden Desperado. Almost everyone in my class turned around and looked at me. Then we all started singing and laughing. (the first cuple of lines were all that was played however we finished the song on our own)
I went to Wal Mart and found some blouses on sell for $5.00 so I couldn't pass them up, when I looked at the bill the blouses rang up as "Rib Henley". I checked and sure enough on the tag that was the type of blouse. I had never noticed it before.
Lol. The same thing happens to me at work. Everyone at work automatically looks at me to make sure that I hear it when the Eagles are on. I just look at them and smile. Of course I hear it. I hear it from the moment the song starts.Quote:

I'm sure I had this big dorky smile on my face because all i could think of was Glenn being goofy in the Livin' Right video.
My mom bought a shirt for me with 'Henley' on it, it's a brand, so Don be my brand!
And today at school, a friend of me walked in and said: "You never know who I saw at the bus station!" And actually I could have to know what she wanted to say but I said sleepy "No, who?" And she yelled through the classroom: "DON HENLEY!" and the whole class looked and me and the teacher said: "He's going to pick you up after school Danielle". I turned out red!
Hahaha great Jess! :lol:Quote:

Why is it even something that trivial can make me think of one thing and one thing only?
I hope you bought the book...if not for your cousins, then for yourself!Quote:

I have done a fast search for Al's Garage and came up with nothing. Please help me!!!!Quote:

I have a feeling it was a long-ish name, revolving around something like "Al's Garage" or "Al's Backyard". I promise I will do my best to find out!
GOod Lou, cuz I want a copy too!! LOL I have a feeling that this author's about to come into a windfall!!
Me too. I did some searching too, and couldn't come up with anything. And you are right, ticky. If the author of that book if smart, they will soon find us here, and introduce theirself to us. :wink:
Maybe Don Felder wrote it. Didn't he say he felt like he was pumping gas at Henley and Frey's station? lol!
I hope you find out the title. I'd like to know, too!
Once again, while at work last night, I saw a guy wearing a t-shirt that said "Do Something." I'm sure everybody here knows where my mind immediatly went.
I work in a library, and today a book came in called "Rough Weather". Of course, I immediately thought of "Strange Weather"!:)
Then few days ago, it was a little chilly at work, so I asked if the heat was on. Someone put it on, and said "It's on now". I yelled, "The heat is on!" My co-worker did give me a strange look! :laugh:
