Sorry Paul, Don's not my type... And besides, I've got a wife...

mac - Well, nonetheless Don's Mother will keep on trying. Thanks.

ChuckyG - Hmmm...The same thing happened to this parody as what happened to Forrest Emerine's one the other day...the site picked up an extra space AFTER the last letter of my last name and put this on a "New Author" page. There's no way to see that when you are proof-reading because it looks fine in the preview so if it's possible I'd appreciate it if you could somehow get this over to my regular page at some point. When I combined that with my "fat-fingering" foul-up of 2 days ago this will give me 3 author pages. I'm not QUITE that "schizoid". Thanks.

It's going to be really hard to listen to the original without laughing now. Great job!

You improved the OS 100%! :-D

my first wife was jewish...i wish SHE had married don....5s

Oy vay!

Ravyn R, Meriadoc, Alvin, Tevya - Thanks for your votes and comments. It was fun to write. M.Doc - feel the same way about the orriginal. Comments short today, bandage on main typing finger is had reduced my typing speed and accuracy to near zero. It's possible some of you may be relieved by this situation. I'm not even gonna proff-read this. It should be close to what I wanna say. Thanks again.

It's always funny to say "bling" in a parody! (hee...hmm... snik...bling...hmm.....) NIce work on an already great song, 5s if i did the vote thing

Cheezmeister - Thanks for the comment.

Really good read, Paul!! How do you check for extra author pages if the submission has picked up a blank after the name?

Fun read. Well done.

Adadio, Thanks, only way to see extra author page in this instance is from within this parody to click "more parodies by this author". You won't find this parody anywhere else. I'll willing to take the whack for my screw-up in spelling my name on "Every Day" but this one should be transferred to my other page, there was no way for me to see a problem in "Preview" mode while I was editing it. So to KNOW to check, you would have to have noticed it didn't get originally credited to your main author page. Don't have time today to write ChuckyG but I will next week. Thanks. Guy, Thank you, too.

How did I miss this one? Paul, this is great! LOL PIMP (PIMP? - involves bodily fluids and trousers)

David C - Well, I don't know. This one must have a "Cosmic" "Miss Me" aura around it. Somehow and extra space AFTER my last name (which you cannot see in "preview mode") put this on a separate Author page (I guess I've whined about this about 4 times now, but I'm home with a cold and a little cranky this morning). Actually, folks are finding it but it won't be on my Author's page unless I can cajole CG into somehow moving it (I don't know if that's even possible). But thanks, glad you liked it.

Thanks for explaining about the extra author page, Paul!

Adagio - No problem. Hope you don't have any of them.

Paul, I think this one gets my Best Parody Title of the Week award. I'm saving it for my Best of Am I Right archives.

David C - I'm highly flattered. Thank you very much. I just get a huge kick out of picturing the 70-ish Jewish Mother running this by a 30-35-ish Jewish woman who is desperately looking around for someone she might know to save her. Hey, and "Mom" shows her "hipness" too, throwing in the promise of "bling-bling" from single Don should the marriage occur.

Forrest? The "Pig Latin" spell seems to have turned things around. I notice all the postings after yours now are appearing in "Bold-Face". I also noticed that some-one "1"'d this song today. So I don't know if that's you, my friend (kinda doubt it) or someone playing name-games again. (oh, well, whatever)...

I didn't mean to screw this up!!! Sorry, Paul, the darn system is screwed because of someone using Pig Latin in a comment. My fault. Hey, do you ever go to the song generator? It can be pretty funny if you type in crap you know doesn't make a darn bit of sense!

Forrest E. - Seriously? Well, ok - if that's how you feel about it. But it is a perfectly acceptable word of the English language. Any connotation one takes from it beyond that is strictly in the eyes(and mind) of the reader. Of and by itself I do not believe it is inappropriate. You should look it up in Webster's or any Standard American Dictionary, then decide as to its probity. At any rate, I will point out that it IS unfair to judge the PACE by your disapproval of my verbiage. Remember, voting carries with it a responsibility to be open and fair and to carefully study the choices. If you have expectations of me with regard to my craft then it's only fair I hold you to some standards as a reader and informed voter. I'm not angry with you for your decision, I still consider you and I friends, OK? But I would like you to look up these words I used above: (1) connotation (2) probity (3) verbiage (4) inappropriate (5) intercourse. You're still young and we may as well turn the fun, praise, criticism, agreements and disagreements into a Learning Experience for you. You don't have to report to me with your study findings but I DO expect you to look them up and understand them as part of being a colleague and a correspondent on this site. If you do as I ask here I will gracefully accept your voting choice on this parody. That is also part of being a colleague; accepting that opinions between friends and other colleagues may differ for any number of reasons, but as long as they are carefully thought out and fair you must learn to respect them and accept them with grace, and not strike out in anger or have a tantrum. Take care, my young friend. Hope to hear from you soon. Paul R...

Forrest E. OH...by the way, I DO like The CARS...good group!

Paul, you are so cool, I bet you are a great dad.

Impressed - Aw garsh! No, seriously, Thanks. Hey, we're all humans and we all pass through the stages of life. Forrest was honest enough to tell me why he didn't like my parody. I respect that, and there's no way that a grown man should pick on a kid over that. But I wanted him to think about it more deeply than that. He's a bright young boy, and we need as many of those (and bright young girls, too, of course) for the future as we can muster up. They need to be able to think and grow and work out problems with each other in a better way than most folks do now. Gotta try, gotta be here for some reason other than to service my own ego...lol...

Sorry, Paul. I should have thought about it first. But I've went to heck and back to fix the print, but did not make any progress... It's my fault the thing is screwed up in the first place... You didn't answer my question about Journey, if you know who Journey is. Last night I was at the local Wal-mart with my family. I was just getting back from my Grandparents' house, three hours away from my home, where my brother stole a motorcycle from my three year old cousin. Grandma said we'd take the motorcycle back to them the next morning before she and my Grandfather took me back home. My brother, who is five, wanted one so badly she gave me money to buy myself a CD and a toy motorcycle for Parker, who's five,2toy motorcycles. But, anyways, while I was looking at an Elton John set of 2 CDs, his greatest hits from '70-'02, for 19.88, a Journey Greatest Hits Live(one CD)for 11.74, and an Essential Journey set of 2 CDs for 23.88. I got Elton John, but which one do you guys think I should have bought? Oh, by the way, parker is my little brother.

Did I mention my brother was five twice in one sentence?

Forrest E. or SGAKABJKLSW? Ahh..yeah, yes indeed...you did...Not a critical error as I see it. Anyway, 'tis true, forgot to address your question about "Journey" so I shall now - Journey is not one of my favorite groups, although they sound ok. I really can't remember any particular song of theirs. The Elton John double CD from 1970-2002 should be pretty interesting. I liked his earlier works, particularly "Tumbleweed Connection" - I was always fond of "Where To Now, St. Peter?", especially the quirky guitar part in there. I was fortunate when I bought the CD to get a "bonus track" - an extended play version of "Madman Across the Water" that clocks in at just under 9 minutes and features a torrid lead guitar part from Mick Ronson (played later with David Bowie on "The Spiders From Mars, the Ziggy Stardust Band". By ITSELF this cut is worth the price of the CD. I hope your double-CD has it, it's really outstanding. I far prefer it to Title Track version of it from the "Madman Across The Water" Album. But anyway, even without that track I would vote for the Elton John double-CD.

Looks like someone forgot to turn off the bold tag.

Bub - I don't suppose you would have any idea on how to correct that? It seems to have started when Forrest E. started typing a comment in "Pig-Latin" at some point yesterday. I personally have no idea what that would have to do with anything whatsoever, but that's when it started...Let's see: 3:18:29 pm according to the time marking on the comment.

Are you just noticing that now, Bubbie!

I tried to turn it off by just typing lessthan /b greaterthan, but that apparently didn't work. Lemme try again. Any luck?

Do'h!

Well, I don't have any idea why someone would "1-1-1" this parody, it happens to be one of my favorites and I happen to think it's pretty well done. So there....

It IS well done...I like it.

Thanks, Adagio...

Great choice for a Parody! How about looking at my parody of the Kansas song?

being gay is NOT funny! get a f****** life!

It is queer, er I mean clear, that "Jerk!" is "queerly" jerked off! The parody although is clearly funny. .

I guess some people never get the point that a parody can be written from a point of view other than your own...in this case, "Don's" Mother...and I don't say whether "Don" is or isn't...not every parody I write reflects my particular opinion...and no, I don't feel the need to put a disclaimer in front of any and every piece that does NOT reflect my POV...Thanks...
