Why does my Neighbor have an orange sign with 8.15.10

It’s where they bring churches back from the dead.

And if it’s really good, they have rattlesnakes.

You’re right. The song was “Brother Love’s Traveling Salvation Show;” the album it was on was called “Hot August Night” and I believe that was what his concert tour to promote the album was called as well. (One of the three times I saw him in concert.) I used to have the album, too.

If it’s in a spoiler box, why do you need to wait to post it? People can choose to read it or not read it.

Hello, people. This many posts and nobody got it? Fluiddruid’s Birthday Eve, ya’ll! I’m the moderator so nice, you celebrate my fucking. birthday. twice. or else

You can send my gifts to the Chicago Reader. No flowers or musical tributes this year, please - keep it to cash, credit cards, stock, and precious metals.

Because some of us Dopers have poor impulse control?

I don’t know what it is, but I’ve never seen a spoiler tag and successfully avoided it, even when I wanted to be surprised. I’m not that way with everything else, but something about spoilers–whether you have to click them or highlight them–is too hard to resist.

God help me, I still do. My parents played it over and over and over again when I was growing up, and those songs got so lodged in my cerebral cortex that I just had to get a copy of the album for myself when I struck out on my own. Which explains a lot about me, I guess…

I have control over BigT! Muahahahaha!

Here’s another one! You can’t resist! I can make you do this all day! I am drunk - drunk with POWER, I tell you!

What, we get birthday presents from the members? Nobody’s told me about this yet, but it sounds quite delightful. :smiley:

Definitely the wedding day. Also that’s the only poll option that wasn’t mentioned in the other thread. I hope bright orange and blue aren’t her wedding colours.

India’s independence day. The orange colour practically gives the answer away.

Um…well, let’s say that some of our members are very creative. You read Mangetout’s post on how he couldn’t finish that durian cake? He’s saving the rest of it for the next mod birthday. Those white elephant/shot glass swaps…well, many times the recipients are Not Pleased with what they got. So they pass them on to US. Where did you think we got that goat? (And it was already trained to do THAT when we first got it.)

“Delightful” is not the word that I’d use.

i wanna know. i guessed yard sale. . . . err garage sale.

PM me please!

Is the answer actually among those in the poll? I don’t think I’m falling for any of them.

PM me please!

Why, congratulations! That means your birthday is a national holiday in Spain this year :smiley:

I wanna know as well!

Ok.

For those who can’t wait for the spoiler on the weekend, I’LL tell you all what that great big orange sign is letting everybody know.

It’s Procrustus’ wedding AND my birthday.

(Nobody cares about ‘birthday eves’ fluiddruid…so stop trying to muscle in on my action.)

I was a huge Neil Diamond fan. He really did some good stuff (the later stuff was kind of cheesy) - “Sweet Caroline,” “Solitary Man,” “Brooklyn Roads”…and “Brother Love’s Traveling Salvation Show.”

I even named my second son - Neil (no, his middle name is not Diamond). :slight_smile:
