That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for June 05, 2019

“Who needs silly boys?”

After this event, street parties were banned.

All the men are at the front:

“They’re either too young or too old

They’re either too fast or too fast asleep

So, darling, believe me, I’m yours to keep

They’re isn’t any gravy, the gravy’s in the Navy”

I dunno, that organ grinder looks a little cranky…

In for a penny, in for a pound,Dance, dance all way round.

Try-outs for Riverdance, the early years…

Gigi and Yvette we’re creating the Can Can while their mothers practiced for Dancing With the Tsars.

Competitive flatulence .

Origin of the, “joined at the hip”, saying.

They say Jonathan got the ladies very excited when he would “grind his organ”.

Jump rope when you don’t have a rope.

The first Pride parade started out small, but Jorge was there anyway, selling pretzels.

“Who’s that comin’ down the street ? Good ol’ organ grinder Pete ! With his monkey – or his son – I can never tell which one…”

Summers in the city will be so much more fun when this little ice age is over and someone invents the fire hydrant.

The girls wuz inspired to dance/ when’ the organ man give ‘em the chance/ but that sneaky proprietor/ wuz lookin’ on, quieter/ an’ ‘opin’ to catch a glance. (Of wot ? H’underpants !)

You got any chalk to make a hopscotch board ?

Come on girls, the jig is up.

No, you’re Johnny Lawrence, and I’m Daniel.

No, I’m Daniel.

No you’re not! I’m Daniel.

I’ll stand here in Crane till hell freezes over! I’m Daniel.

“Mine went ‘toot!’” “Yes, but mine went ‘freeep!’ Mine was better.”

Damn this pavements hot!

Try outs for organ grinder monkey.

Unable to shimmy like her sister Kate, or waltz with Matilde, little Alice decides to dance for her father with an Irish jig.

Haight-Ashbury circa 1883- LADY 1: Damn hippies! LADY 2: Oh I don’t know Eunice. I kind of like Uncle John’s Band. Well, come on now. We better be truckin’…

Good comments all, today!

Harold and Jake couldn’t help but notice that the women didn’t need them anymore than a fish needs a bicycle.

Hurdy gurdy at its best…

The girls danced with glee as all the mean boys were ground up in the mysterious traveler’s giant meat grinder.

“Girls, I told you not to River-dance when there is NO RIVER!!”

ALL of you are? What part of Lesbia are ya’ll from then?? :>)
