World's a jungle for singing zoologist

Any songwriter can write about love but only Lucas Miller is writing about metamorphosis and symbiosis. Miller is a singing zoologist based in Austin, TX. who writes tunes about the animal kingdom instead of everyday human topics. The tunesmith's latest album, "I was A Supa-Dupa Pupa" includes ditties detailing the relationship between a clownfish and a sea anemone. Miller says the songs spill out, especially when he's writing about snakes because "lots of words rhyme with anaconda". So far the animals haven't responded to his music. "I did a concert recently near some foxes and they were nonplaused" he says

And women might wear sandals because they feel they have gorgeous feet but Reynolds says men get the impression that the lady wants her toes licked right then & there " NOT "

CARRIER HANGING UP OARS

Last water postal route may be sinking

Neither rain-snow-sleet nor hail has kept Huey L. Collins from delivering the mail, nor has a body of water. That's because the 71-yr. old Collins is the last remaining postal carrier in America to deliver letters by boat. Since 1992 he has been delivering mail part time down the Magnolia and Fish Rivers in Magnola Springs, ALA. fending off the occasional snapping alligator. But by June of next year, when Collins contract will be up for bid again, he'll be calling it quits. That means the fate of the last water postal route will be up in the air. Yhe postal Service may decide to convert the route into a land route as it has been considering during the past few years

^What's gonna happen when you eat the sandwich? Will there be tunes coming from your stomach or is the sandwich not edable(sp) heh.

 

Very true. I work for Tesco and it plays Jingle Bells. Someone must have opened the packaging slightly because it confused me to hear music when I was filling shelves next to it. Sounds like musical socks do which meant I searched for a dumped pair of socks in a chiller cabinet. :lol: Needless to say I didn't find any.
