[FRIAM] the bad pun thread

[∄ uǝʃƃ]

Yeah, singing *along* to prerecorded music works to some extent.  But I can still fall quiet, even if the music is nice and loud, maybe like Dead Horse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3EtqJ0OUDc  There's something about the engagement required for it to keep me awake.  I've had good luck with no radio, but trying to remember lyrics and sing them.  But if someone else is "driving" and I'm just "riding along", it doesn't have the same effect.

It was a three hour drive from Wathena, Kansas to Manhattan (Kansas, that is, The Little Apple, home of Kansas State University). I often waited until Monday morning to return to Manhattan, even when I had a 7:30 am statistics class. So, I usually had to drive several hours in the dark before getting there. It took a lot of hot coffee and 8-track tapes to keep me awake. I especially liked listening to John Denver and singing along (badly, I'm sure, but with no traffic and only cows in the pasture along the highway to awaken, I blasted it out at the top of my lungs). One of my favorites was "Two Shots" from the Windsong album. One line in particular sticks in my mind: "I took two shots, got no ducks, and cold, cold hands."
