Pull my finger with one hand, the wishbone with the other...

1. Brian, Brian, Brian. Nice post. You really put me in my place. And now I 
feel bad about every mean thing I've ever written, every butt reference, 
every turd/brain analogy, every public flame. From now on, I'm gonna turn 
over a new leaf. It's a kinder/gentler Bill McCue from here on out. I'm 
actually a little choked up right now and very upset about this whole thing 
and in the spirt of Thanksgiving...

Yeah, right....Look turd-boy, next time you decide to post, reach down 
between your legs and loosen your butt plug a notch or two. It was 
obviously twisted in a tad too tight last time. Nobody cares about what you 
think of me and my sophomoric wit. You could have sent that drivel to me 
privately. But since you went public and choose to concentrate on the 
portions of my posts that deal with turds, butts and other lame B&B ripoffs,
 I can only surmise that in point of fact it gives you a secret thrill to 
read the word "turd" on a mailing list. So maybe we're not that much 
different after all, pal o' mine.

And as I was saying the other day, the only true indicator of an ego out of 
control is when a person quotes something they once said. In that spirit, 
let me refer back to a pearl of wisdom I passed on several moons ago. I'll 
know that morons like you, Brian, my darling, continue to run amok on "For 
Buttpluggers Only" when any direct reference to the music of Led Zeppelin 
made in one of my posts makes barely a ripple, while the bathroom humor 
stuff sets off a mindless clamor. In short, up yours. And Happy 
Thanksgiving.

2. Nice job by Paul on the shows to be thankful for. The 2-12-75 show is a 
great example of why it's so cool to have a recording of an entire concert. 
Percy's between song commentary enhances the overall "vibe" of the 
recording. It also doesn't hurt that this is one of the best audience tapes 
I've ever heard. Personally I think the band is in OK form, but for the 
time, it's a solid performance. Plant's voice is a bit strained here and 
there, but the band is "spot on" (hello Brits!) for the majority of the 
show. I also agree with Paul that if you're looking for one show from each 
tour to start your collection, this is a great one to pick up for filling 
the 1975 slot. It's just as good a performance as the infamous "Seattle 
Supersonic" show and a better recording. And, of course, it's from New 
York...

3. Thank God Jean is feeding her local community. Can a sainthood be far 
off? With Mother Theresa gone, I'd say she's a shoe-in for Woman of the 
Year. And we're all waiting with baited breath for advance copies of that 
story!

4. This morning I woke up at 5am to prepare breakfast for the less 
fortunate in my local community. In the process I scrambled 900 eggs, 
toasted 2,000 pieces of bread, browned 600 sausages and fried 750 slices of 
bacon. When each individual meal was prepared, I wrapped them up tightly in 
an environmentally correct container and then ran through the rain to 
deliver it to the person's home. While I was there, I took 15 minutes to 
teach all the children in the house how to read and write. On my way home 
from each trip, I stopped off at my local soup kitchen to ladle out oatmeal 
to homeless handicapped homosexual veterans. Then it was back home to 
prepare another breakfast. Whew! I'm beat, but it was all worth it and I 
just had to tell everyone on the list about how decent, warm and caring I 
am. Aw shucks, it was nothing.

5. I'm just really thankful for this list and all the great people on it. 
FBO is a wonderful place and you're all too much. You've put with a lot 
of...well, attached is my own acapella version of "Friends" to show you all 
how much you mean to me...sniffle, sniffle, boo hoo hoo hoo hoo!!!!

Love,
Billy
