name change
as many of you may have noticed i have decided to change the title of this blog site to Kaptin Marie, however i have left the web site address the same. if from now on you would like to refer to me as Kaptin Marie, i will not be opposed. again, if you are confused as to the reason for the name change, just say it aloud several times... Kaptin Marie, Kaptin Marie, Kaptin Marie and i'm sure you will realize how much it sounds like Katherine Marie but with just a little extra umph.

a joke for the masses:
a grasshopper walks into a bar, sits down and the bartender says "Hey man! glad you're here! Do you know how popular you are?"
Grasshopper: "Really? I had no idea!"
Bartender: "Yea! You're so popular, they named a drink after you!"
Grasshopper: "Really? There's a drink called 'Steve'?"
Wah wah wahhhhhh
Oh Kaptin, my Kaptin...
good story e.l.
however,
my friend steve did not think it was very funny
somehow he got the impression that you were calling him a grasshopper...'a little bug' i think is how he interpreted it.
i wouldn't worry about it too much, but steve does have quite the temper...so you might want to lay-low for a while.
better safe than sorry, i always say.
Kaptin Marie totally needs a theme song. and I'm sure Jay needs something to do at work so how perfect is this?!?!?
O Kaptin! my Kaptin! our fearful trip is done;
The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won;
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring:
But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Kaptin lies,
Fallen cold and dead.
O Kaptin! my Kaptin! rise up and hear the bells;
Rise up—for you the flag is flung—for you the bugle trills;
For you bouquets and ribbon’d wreaths—for you the shores a-crowding;
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;
Here Kaptin! dear father!
This arm beneath your head;
It is some dream that on the deck,
You’ve fallen cold and dead.
My Kaptin does not answer, his lips are pale and still;
My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will;
The ship is anchor’d safe and sound, its voyage closed and done;
From fearful trip, the victor ship, comes in with object won; Exult, O shores, and ring, O bells!
But I, with mournful tread,
Walk the deck my Kaptin lies,
Fallen cold and dead.
THAT'S FLIPPIN' DEPRESSING, WALT.

Title:
Space Captain
Space captain
Once i was traveling across the sky
This lovely planet caught my eye
And being curious i flew close by
And non i'm caught here
Until i die
Until we die
Learning to live together
Learning to live together
Learning to live together
Till we die
I lost my memory of where i've been
We all forgot that se could fly
Someday we'll all change into peaceful man
And we'll return into the sky
Until we die
Until we die
Learning to live together
Learning to live together
Learning to live together
Till we die
Live together, yeah,
Learning to live together
Till we die
Learning to live together
Learning to live together
Learning to live together
Learning to live together
Till we die
Hum...oh...
Ah... hum...
Until we die
Until we die
Learning to live together
Learning to live together
Learning to live together
Learning to live together
Learning to live together
To live together...
To live together...
To live together...
it goes on and on like that for hours...
we don't have to sing it for hours, but
it would be nice to have the option.
thanks for the warning soy el.
In an attempt to insult your friend steve for not liking my joke in a grasshopper-themed manner, I did a little research on the "little bugs". However, it was so interesting that I decided to declare Peace with steve and instead share my new found wealth of grasshopper information. I think that once steve reads these amazing characteristics, he'll realize that he is most definitely not a grasshopper...ps: a grasshopper drinks contains: green creme de menthe, White Creme de Cacao, and cream...just in case any one was thirsty :)
1. Grasshoppers have five eyes!
2. Grasshoppers hear with a hearing organ called the tympana that is located on its abdomen, where the hind legs attach.
3. Grasshoppers’ jumping abilities make them some of nature’s best athletes. If you could scale up the jump of a 5-centimeter-long grasshopper to a human, the human would be able to make a standing long jump of about 40 meters.
*Gross WArning! something gross ahead! don't read if you have a weak stomach!!!
4. The special jumping legs of grasshoppers have another purpose – they sometimes drop-kick their frass (insect dung). Sometimes the frass remains stuck to the grasshopper after defecation, so it flicks its hindleg to get rid of it.
Joe Cocker sings a version of Space Captain too and it's cool, it could be like a spin-off of Wonder years! Also, did everyone else already know that Joe Cocker is caucasian?

Joe Cocker - one of the truly great rock voices of all time - was born in Sheffield, England on May 20, 1944, the youngest son of a civil servant. In 1961 Joe by day, worked as an apprentice gas fitter and by night, in dark suit and bow tie, became Vance Arnold singing with The Avengers in rough Sheffield pubs. The set included songs by mentor Ray Charles "What'd I Say" and "Georgia On My Mind." Vance Arnold and the Avengers biggest moment came in 1963 when they supported The Rolling Stones at Sheffield City Hall, and brought the house down.
The following year Joe left the Gas Board and released his first single, a cover of The Beatles "I'll Cry Instead." His band, Joe Cocker Big Blues, built up a large following in the north of England and ventured to France for a two month stint, playing on American airbases.
The servicemen, many from America's deep south, loved Joe. The French called him "Le Petit Ray Charles". Unfortunately when he returned home to England the bottom had fallen out of the local scene. Joe Cocker Big Blues folded.
For an entire year Joe never did a gig. Then along came the man Joe has called the greatest musician in the world, Chris Stainton. With Chris The Grease Band was formed.
