Don't shake hands with Sheryl Crow.

I have spent the better part of this tour trying to come up with easy ways for us all to become a part of the solution to global warming. Although my ideas are in the earliest stages of development, they are, in my mind, worth investigating. One of my favorites is in the area of forest conservation which we heavily rely on for oxygen. I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting. Now, I don't want to rob any law-abiding American of his or her God-given rights, but I think we are an industrious enough people that we can make it work with only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where 2 to 3 could be required.

I also like the idea of not using paper napkins, which happen to be made from virgin wood and represent the height of wastefulness. I have designed a clothing line that has what's called a "dining sleeve." The sleeve is detachable and can be replaced with another "dining sleeve," after usage. The design will offer the "diner" the convenience of wiping his mouth on his sleeve rather than throwing out yet another barely used paper product. I think this idea could also translate quite well to those suffering with an annoying head cold.

Shoot, my son's way ahead of her - been doing this for years

And from one of the comments:

I love the intellectual firepower behind the global warming movement.

I don't think he'd appreciate you sharing that , but good for him!

How classy. Great idea Sheryl...

Has she lost her mind? I've been using cloth napkins for as long as I can remember.

 

[AK-74me]

Her underwears must look like Budd's Creek.

 

[Larry Gude]

Wouldn't toilet paper...

...be cheaper? Damn, I'd hate to do your laundry.

 

[mAlice]

For a dining sleeve?

I use cloth napkins for meals going in, not meals coming out.

 

[Lenny]

...be cheaper? Damn, I'd hate to do your laundry.

Ahhh. She's probably like Jerry Lewis was. He never wore his underclothes more than once. Said he was allergic to the cleaner used to dry-clean his underwear.

On a related issue: Do you suppose Sheryl's fringe views on this subject have anything to do with the fact Lance Armstrong is no longer engaged to marry her?

 

[Larry Gude]

Did anyone get this?

...be cheaper? Damn, I'd hate to do your laundry.

From the first post;

From elaines;

And my joke:

...be cheaper? Damn, I'd hate to do your laundry.

Jeezus H. I gotta get my agent to quit booking me on the short bus...

This really pizzes me off. Every stinking actor or singer I like turns out to be a total whack job. Why can't they STFU and let me keep my fantasies? Oh no, lets talk about only using 1 square

...just read a few lyrics of hers over the years. She hasn't changed and she's simply now saying what she's been singing from the get go.

It's not like she wrote "I wanna blot out the sun" and suddenly went tie dye on us.


Same with the Dix Chicks; Earl had to die for being this horrible wretch. Not exactly 'Stand by your man".

I know I was living a life of denial.

 

[Tonio]

Remember "The Stall" from the Seinfeld show? I can imagine Sheryl Crow in the part of Jerry's girlfriend, telling Elaine she doesn't have a square to spare.

Politics aside, I think her old lyrics had more angst and drama. "Soak Up the Sun" sounds like she had been turned into the Stepford Sheryl.

 

[Larry Gude]

I swear...

I know I was living a life of denial.

...if it has a catchy beat and a pleasing voice the lyrics could be:

"I wanna eat babies and enslave all of you...la, la, al, babe,"

...and people would buy it and have not a clue.

On the other hand, Slayer could sing Crow songs and people would be like "That's too angry. Ugly stuff." And Crow could do "Angel of Death" and people would be singing and humming "Infamous butcher, Angel of Death..." in the elevator. "What a pretty day..."

It's incredible and one of the wonders of music that the beat and the melody mean pretty much everything and the lyrics simply fit the song and really don't affect people nearly as much.

You have me pegged. Typically I don't know the lyrics past the chorus on any song with the eception of Jimmy Buffet. Sheryl Crow could sing the phone book and I would get a boner..........well until I found out she only uses 1 square

I think extreme talent also carries mental illness and dysfunction along with it. Just the way their brain works.

I have a whole dissertation on this subject

This is exactly what I was envisioning as I heard the story.
