Gail, Gail, Gail. Those weren't your little 'phants. Those are crawfish I got from a creek back home.

The little pink buggers are locked up in Rola's bedroom.

Ruby, don't get that jug too close to the barbie or Rola won't have a house to come back to.

Ouch, now who hit me with that dart?

Is that what was flying around the room when I just passed out! Thank heavens, I thought I was imagining things. PHEW

Jeb! Jeb! Got your moose. He was trying to get to the moonshine.

Ouch. Beginning to feel like a pincushion.

I'd not worry about the moose getting to the corn squeezin's except that he'd drink more than his share. I never did like him after a few drinks anyway, he has a tendency to become morose and maudlin, two characteristics I could never stand in a moose.

Moose Juice anyone?

Moose Juice
¾ cup orange juice
½ cup orange sherbet
½ banana sliced
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon whipped cream

Directions for Moose Juice
combine the orange juice, sherbet, banana, vanilla extract in a blender. Puree until smooth.
Pour into a glass and top with whipped cream.
makes one serving.

A moose is asleep
He is dreaming of moose drinks
A goose is asleep
He is dreaming of goose drinks
That’s well and good, when a moose dreams of moose juice
And nothing goes wrong when a goose dreams of goose juice
But it isn’t too good when a moose and a goose
Start dreaming they’re drinking the other one’s juice

That Moose must be thirsty drying out on the hot plate, give him sum moose juice please.
I'll have some with a touch of vodka!

That's some good moose juice vdV. Wonder what it would be like if we put some of Lynda's Drambuie in it. That should put some kapow into it!

Wonder what it would be like to put the moose in the blen................nah! This is a no cruelty to mooses party (or is that one moose [sing], two moosi [pl]?).

Whoa!!! What a way to wake up, with moose juice spilled all over me!! Look at this place!! It is trashed!!

Bruce is back on tour with the E Street Band, so how about, "Born to Run."

Now, let's try some of that moose juice rather than wearing it.

What the heck difference does it make if you slice the bananas? You're gonna put 'em in the blender anyway.

All right, I'm here for dessert. Is there any chocolate moose left? And what about games? Why don't we get a round of "Goose the Moose" started? Dr. Seuss, you go first.

Jane wants to goose the moose? How tacky. Get that jug of moonshine away from her, she's had enough!

"The Mason Williams Reading Matter"
Mason Williams
Doubleday & Company, Inc. 1969
"Them Moose Goosers"

How about Them Moose Goosers,
Ain't they recluse?
Up in them boondocks
Goosin' them moose.

Goosin' them huge moose,
Goosin' them tiny,
Goosin' them meadow-moose
In they hiney.

Look at Them Moose Goosers,
Ain't they dumb?
Some use an umbrella,
Some use a thumb.

Them obtuse Moose Goosers,
Sneakin' through the woods,
Pokin' them snoozy moose
In they goods.

How to be a Moose Gooser?
It'll turn ye puce.
Gitchy gooser loose and
Rouse a drowsy moose!

Spend one day away and everyone gets out of control. I've plucked the lawn darts out of Becky's...never mind. Who's up for a game? Pass me some of that moonshine first. It improves my aim.

RENA, you best apply some of that moonshine to Becky's never mind! Lawn darts can carry some nasty bacteria! Moonshine is a good antiseptic you know.

We will come help ya hold her down for the application, as it is apt to smart a bit.

Now that Jane has directions on the proper way to goose a moose, there will be no holding her back!
Just exactly what word or phrase did you put in the Google "search", Jeb? Or perhaps Mr. Mason is a favorite author whose prose has an honored place on your library shelf?

Why should we take a break from the party to medicate Becky? Just throw her in the shower with Greg and his soggy beavertail!

A very singular place of honor on the library shelf. The Moose Gooser 'pome' is but one stanza of several making up what years ago was loosely referred to as the 'Doodle-Dasher Song'.
Some of the others are: "Them Dog Kickers", Them Toad Suckers", "Them Tummy Gummers" to name a few.
"Classical Gas" is by Mason Williams, by the way.

No-o-o-o, anything but that. Don't like soggy beavertails.

Either way, you'll have to catch me first.

Oh, yes here it is: Mason Williams - "The Prince and his Panties" Jeb do you know the last line?

I still have 19 quarters - time to plug another one into the OLD Jukebox.

Frankie Laine - Cry Of The Wild Goose

Bill Doggett - Honky Tonk Part 1 & II

Jimmy Lowe - Green Door

Eddie Heywood & Hugo Winterhalter - Canadian Sunset (for Greg & his Beaver Tail)

And the prince was eaten by his panties?
But without any color...

That a way Jeb!

2 questions only one to which I know the answer.

Was that song based on a Dr. Seuss story?

What is the name of the album that the song is on?

On Top Of Old Smoky - Weavers

Hernando's Hideaway - Archie Bleyer

Papa Loves Mambo - Perry Como

Got 2 more songs to pick on this quarter - lets see now how about:

Cross Over The Bridge - Patti Page

The Ballad Of Davy Crockett - Fess Parker

Becky, get back here for moonshine disinfecting. I'm not chasing you all over Australia.

Lunch time. Are there any sheep-kabobs left? Didn't someone mention sausages? Let's see if there is any potato salad.

That little ditty was on "The Mason Williams Phonograph Record" I also had two other albums.
"The Mason Williams Ear Show" and "Music for the Epicurean Harkener" but alas, all of our phonograph albums got misdirected during a move and were sold several years ago.

I have some Harry & David's Moose Munch here!

I still have "Mason Williams Phonograph Record". I think I may have Classical Gas on a 45. I haven't unpacked by records since I moved last year. Beter do it soon and play the phonograph or I will have the problem of a problem with the belt again.

Oh, this Moose Munch is soooo gooood! Cookie & Creame variety!!!

I remember a couple of years back, one of the artists at Britt had "Moose Munch in the Green Room" written into his contract, after having it at a previous performance. It must have made an impression on him. As I said oh so good!

Back to the OLD Juke Box - how about some songs from '55:


#55/04 Autumn Leaves - Roger Williams

# Sixteen Tons, Tennessee Ernie Ford

#55/11 Crazy Otto Medley I & 11 - Crazy Otto

#55/27 The Naughty Lady Of Shady Lane - Ames Brothers


16 quarter left.

EVE, let me try some of that Moose Munch, with a name like that, it has to be good! Sort of like Smuckers, you know.

Eve, honey, could we PLEASE have some music that's just a tad more up-to-date? Say something from the 60s?

Gail - I thought everybody knew that the plural of moose is meese! But we don't have to worry about that because Jeb only brought one moose to the party - didn't you Jeb?????? I would hate to think there's more than one. Have you ever heard a lovesick moose? The bellowing is almost as bad as Becky's caterwauling in the shower with Greg and his soggy beavertail. Tsk.
