Well hello, orange-light. I used to love orange-sunshine but.... Actually I think the actual chat function is on the fritz, but you are more than welcome to hang out here as long as your little heart desires. We are an eclictic group that likes to hang out here, because we are not all there.
Thanks for dropping in to our little cyberspace place of refuge from the crazy outside world. We affectionally refer to it as Lounge Noir or LN. So, what are you drinkin? We have Mt. Dew, cough syrup and hooch. Barkeep put it on E_Bs tab...

is this thread dead?
or does.t anybody want to chat and chit

Lounge Noir will alway exist because it is near and dear to the hearts of it's patrons and owner/operator Mr. P. This time of year though a lot of the regulars are off in their summer cottages in the Hamptons, costa del sol. or their farm in Lubbock.

I had to stay here because my movie careear has taken off and I'm an extra in a few productions and Lord knows I need the $70 for hangin out and eatin snacks all day. Sometimes we get to be on camera but most of the time we just relax and play Texas Holdem.

My latest film to hit the silver screen was "Hamlet 2" God what a terrible movie. I only went to see it cause I was in it. At least the back of my balding head for about 1 sec. was in it. Wer'e talkin star quality.

So, what's happening in Orangelight's world?

whaaaa what a celeb right next door to me
i am impressed

my world my nightmare my dream my sunshine?
it is floating it is changing
nothing really spectacular just ordinary everyday insanity
but we are still alive we are celebrating

we are the only ones who are alive at lounge noir?



my world is splashed with pumpkins what should i do?
and my mind is creating and designing
overfloat!

[edit on 11-9-2008 by orange-light]

Yay! Lounge Noir is open. Did MrP get one of them government bailouts, too? I'll start my tab again. Jeeves, some gingerbread for orange-light, haggis for Cait, and for Whaaa, whatever he wants.

Man, I feel like singin' some blues right now. I'll go get my guitar...
......

Oh, I'm singin' the security blues.

My job is gone.
The new one just pays for the gas.
My house is foreclosed.
I can't find the middle class.

My 401K is worthless.
Gotta build it back up again.
Figured out how long it would take.
I'll retire at 110.

Don't eat no peppers or beef.
Don't want no E. coli.
Don't got no insurance.
Get sick, I might just die.

Some bastard says the fundamentals are sound.
He must have a lot of beer to cry in.
All I can afford is one round.
Ain't no one else near me buyin'.

I''m gonna say it.
I'm gonna say it loud again.
Woody was right. Some will rob you with a six-gun,
And some with a fountain pen.

Oh, I'm singin' the security blues.

.......
Well, back to my place at the Hampton's...Inn that is.

Wow, I can't believe it's snowing outside LN, a record for this time of year. We have definitely turned the seasonal corner now. Gotta fire up the ol' snowmobiles to use as golf carts on the golf course.

I plugged in the camel's blanket, so she can keep warm. I've got her parked in the LN lot for all the Alaska visitors, so I can plug in, too.

I love this time of year, with its festivities. In fact, let me go get my guitar...no, my handbells...and I'll lead us all in my rendition of Deck the Halls...

goes like this...ahem...

Strip the markets of regulation.
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Send our jobs to other nations.
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Start a war for the war profiteers.
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Beat on your opponent with lies and smears.
Fa la la la la, la la la la

That was real good. Real good.

Back again...like they say, you don't buy beer, you rent it...

Well, I also had to polish those handbells. Noticed they were a little tarnished since last use. William Tell Overture at the town 4th of July picnic.

Ok. Since I'm getting ready for the holiday season, please join me in my rendition of ... Silver Bells.

Ahem...

Wall Street sidewalks, busy sidewalks.
Brokers fleeing the scene.
In the air
There's a feeling
Of Depression.
Markets tumbling.
Economies rumbling.
Meetings held in D.C.
And in every corporation you'll hear

Laissez faire. Laissez faire.
Keep your hands off of my business.
Bail me out, with your clout.
Soon it'll be reckoning day.

...I love those old tunes.

hey desert

talking just on your own?
it is a lonely place that lounge noir

c'mon and meet us at DATS

Damn, listen to Desert get down like The Boss. Tell it like it is Sister! Right on, Right on!! *clenched fist in the air*

Thanks for the Drink D. I'm switchin to E_Bs mt Dew. C2H5Oh is a depressant and I'm about to OD on that depressed deal.

Just so you don't feel to alone; the Mkt. kicked my ass good and proper too. Thank the Good Lord for Tamalewood!!

Do they have a dance floor over at DAT? For some ungodly reason I feel like kickin up my heels.

God I wanna be a cowboy!!

The chit chat takes place in DATS pub thread.. please see the link with my signature..

Hey, orange-light! I think you have made orange my favorite color! As far as singing at LN, it's got great acoustics for playing and recording. Plus, this is a classy joint.

Zaimless! Good to see you! Order what you want here. MrP picks up our tabs. Of course, he immediately puts them back down on the counter and demands payment, but so far no one has paid. That MrP, he's a right jolly guy. I think he should play Santa at our party this year.
Anyway, Zaimless, it is good to see DATS at BTS. I am a capitalist at heart, and I believe in healthy competition. Of course, having more places at which to drink may not be healthy for our livers, but we must practice healthy imbibing. Hey, Canada, huh. I have had many a good drink in your country. I love to drink with Canadians. Hey, where's the next wedding or anniversary party going to be? I remember one summer attending a friend's parents' anniversary party. I became thirsty after dancing, and my partner said he would get me some water. I started to gulp down the ice-cubed cooled liquid, when I realized it was pure vodka!

Whaaa, would you do me the favor and honor of playing along with me to sing my favorite Christmas carols? Dammit, I've bought everyone else's Xmas album, so I thought that this year I would record my own. Jeeves is the engineer.

... ahem...sung to Jingle Bells...

About 25 years ago
the scene was being set.
Put the country on more oil,
the economy have more debt.
Have wars to show you're tough.
Have wars to gain control.
Have wars to put us in a place
Where we can drill for oil.

OH, pay day loans, credit cards,
Interest only mortgages.
Oh, what fun it is to spend
Money that's not there!
OH, pay day loans, credit cards,
Interest only mortgages.
Oh, what fun it is to spend
Money that's not there!

...yeah!...

Now a little more solemn...sung to Silent Night...

Wal Mart is good, Wal Mart is right.
A symbol of spending the less money you have.
Stretch that dollar till you can see through the weave.
Take your chances on China's quality.
Sleep in ignorant bliss.
Sleep while the thieves rob you blind.

...I'm teary eyed...no, wait....bleary eyed.

One more, please, Whaaa, to the tune of Away In A Manger.

ahem...

Away in a country
Where citizens are scared.
Their leaders don't help them.
Make them follow instead.

Make them frightened and fearful,
Do whatever they're told.
Divide blue (left), red (right).
Tell them lies worse than white.

...ahhh...that was really nice...I love this time of year...

hey lonely poet
now i got catchy tunes in my ear!

orange is more than a beautiful color, it is life, it is light, it is everything

hey zaimless, i am off to DATS to get an orange drink

Whaaa, I am dedicating this next carol to you. And to all those who remember Dire Straits as being a band. ...sung to Little Drummer Boy...

Invest they told me.
401K
A great retirement you'll reap.
401K
No finer thing to do.
401K
A gift from your government to you.
401K...
401K

Now, we feel your pain.
401K
Money down the drain.

ye gods, I'm choking up...Jeeves, quick, a cocktail.
You know, Whaaa...sip sip sip...prohibition was repealed just in time for people to drink themselves to forgetfulness of troubled times they were going through. Think of what states could repeal nowadays to help the populace. Truly, Marx was right about a population needing opiates to put up with the crap they're subjected to. He kindly said that religion was their opiate of choice. Hmmmm, what could be said of us...entertainment is the opiate of the masses?

Speaking of entertainment, Whaaa. You and the QOP could become the next Nelson Eddy/Jeannette McDonald, the Ginger Rogers/Fred Astaire, the Rhett Butler/Scarlett O'Hara. Dance away, my friend, as those Hollywood musicals of the 1930's helped citizens to deal with their financial pain.

Well, how 'bought an upbeat carol now?

a one, a two...

Oh, this one is sung to Grandma Got Runover By a Reindeer...

The economy's gotten run over by the markets.
Money disappearing faster than Copperfield.
You may say you believe in your free markets.
I say without regulation you deceive.

Now the rich are losing money.
But the poor are poorer still.
And the middle class is fuming
As they're stuck with one gigantic, ******* bill.

There were those of us who were sayin'
When's the party goin' to end?
You told us to stop whining,
Spend your money and be careful not to sin.

The economy's gotten run over by the markets.
Money disappearing faster than Copperfield.
You may say you believe in your free markets.
I say without regulation you deceive.

Let's dance

Hey, Orange! You little devil! How about a hug? Watch the horns. Glad you like the tunes. I'm thinking of having the LN regulars go caroling this season. Please join us. Maybe we can have DATS and LN carol together. Hot peanuts and chocolate afterwards. Jeeves, a Screwdriver, please, in honor of orange-light.

[edit on 12-10-2008 by desert]
