What hoot! thanks for sharing that. "...Jamie,<br /><br />What hoot! thanks for sharing that. "Paradise ..." is a classic! Your comment made me think of Meatloaf's role in the "Rocky Horror Show" movie - also a classic and just right for Halloween.ADELE KENNYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09556261298519747516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272430209314356497.post-19390944367444916542011-10-28T12:47:03.020-04:002011-10-28T12:47:03.020-04:00Adele, you're going to laugh at this:
I look...Adele, you're going to laugh at this: <br /><br />I looked at this blog post again this morning, and when I read "phrase plays," I thought of the old Meatloaf song "Paradise by the Dashboard LIghts." There's a line in that about "squeeze play." Funny the connections we make ... and ... that song has been repeating in my mind since (made me think of your prompt #72).<br /><br />JamieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272430209314356497.post-80732570986271015352011-10-23T19:01:48.427-04:002011-10-23T19:01:48.427-04:00Thanks, Jamie!

(Craic is a Gaelic word, pronounced "crack," with no exact English translation, the closest being “fun.” There’s also the expression “ceoil agus craic,” meaning “music and fun.”)<br /><br />And fun is what this prompt is!
