Where's AJ #21

Off Topic
  • Well, it's not where I am right now, but where I'll be tomorrow…if my human can get enough sleep through my loud, off-key singing, that is...

    The song I am singing made #1 on the Roll and Bark Top 40 charts in 1959 and was sung by Willbite Harrier. It was later covered by Wags Podengo and a whole bunch of other great dogs that I just can't think of right now

    La-dah Dee-dah, Dah-dah Dee-dum, Here I come!
    They got some crazy little bitches there
    And I'm gonna get me one…

    Maybe I better pipe down for a while. My human is pulling the pillow over her head.

    Cheers!

    (extra credit for exchanging the Canine names with the humans who recorded a similar song.)

  • YAY! You are back! So glad to know you are both with us.

    Is it "Kansas City"? by Wilbert Harrison?

    I love "Where's AJ"! :)

  • Yes, Kansas City. We'll be at the Edwardsville, KS Swift yard at around 6:30 pm today. (03 Nov)

    So, any idea who correlates to Wags Podengo? Venture a guess?

    :D

  • AJ certainly rides in style !

  • Thank you. It looks pretty good for a piece of farm equipment. It's an International, formerly known as International Harvester.

    Plans have changed… I'll be a few miles north of the yard.

  • Porter Waggener (sp ?)maybe? singing Kansas City !

  • Wags Podengo=Fats Domino. :)

    Thank you for playing….. :D

    So, I guess I couldn't have seen you in my recent trip throught the city of flying pigs (for those unaware, there is one). Two hours of stop and go southbound, trying to get to the airport. I was in the backseat and looked at every truck on the off chance there might be an AJ sighting. Obviously, no luck, as you were a few time zones away :) Had I seen AJ, I might have jumped out of the car I was in and jumped into your truck for a couple of miles…just to say 'Hi'...that's how slow going it was. My advise, for north or southbound, take the by-pass...but what do I know? There were plenty of trucks willing to wade through the traffic.

    While I-70 and I-75 seem to be the major cross-roads in my neck of the woods, I rarely get up that way. However, if you ever find yourself on I-675, I could wave to you from the bridge near my house:) "Shiny Hiney" …LOL..I'll remember that.:)

    @Basenjimamma: …Oh, I want one of those generators too..they are just so darn expensive..We need them down here too, if we have a storm, our neighborhood of 25 or so homes are one of the last on the list to get our power back..it sucks.. We do have a generator that is large enough to either run the fridge and a few lamps, OR our waterpump..so you have to pick your battles when the electricity goes.. Yeah, see my problem is I want the whole house automatically on when the power goes out - gone are the days when I find it an adventure! As it is, I've compromised and were only doing the first floor (including all kitchen, laundry, office, bedrooms, bath, basement - furnace, well/water) and the only thing on the 2nd floor will be the bathroom. During the ice storm last winter we lost power for 4 days. During the ice storm of 98 (?) we lost power for 17days - CNN was filming right in front of our house. :eek:

    I've been trying to do that…it's not as easy to reach the distinctive landmarks with a semi as with other vehicles, including RV's. All the really cool places have signs up that say "No Trucks" and it really bums me out. I understand, though, because there are so many truck drivers who just throw their trash where ever they want instead of find a garbage can. And they pee on the ground rather than expend the extra energy to walk 75 feet into the bathroom. Trucker areas reek to an eye-watering level in hot areas because of this. But I do try to find distinctive landmarks when I can...the little lake in Minnesota, the rock formation in Colorado, coastal trees in North Carolina.... I will try to find more landmarks I can access.

    @AJs: It's been a very long time since I read The Wizard of Oz. Is Wichita where the story starts? I googled "Dorothy's House Wichita" and nothing came up except ways to get to Liberal. That's where the house is that is advertised all over Kansas as THE Dorothy's House. From what I understand (and I have been wrong before…it could happen again) the house in Liberal is where they did some of the filming. But I love the Witch-ita reference...:D I think Dorthy's house was just considered to be a farm house "out in the middle of nowhere".
