Ärende: RE: room temperature
============================
Hey Y'all Lee!
-> 
-> HN>-> >HN>Might be the difference between, "room" temperature
-> HN>-> >HN>in Louisiana in May, and room temp in Yellowknife in May!
-> HN>->
-> HN>-> >LL>Hmmm.  This could be the basis for an interesting experiment.
-> HN>-> >LL>Step inside a high school gym, with no air conditioning, in May,
-> HN>-> >LL>in Louisiana.  Then step inside a high school gym, with no air
-> HN>-> >LL>conditioning, in May, in Yellowknife.  Be prepared to spend at
-> HN>-> >LL>least four hours inside each place.  Notice how much punch 
you
-> HN>-> >LL>drink in Louisiana compared with how much punch you drink in
-> HN>-> >LL>Yellowknife.  Is there a difference?  You tell me.  :)
-> HN>->
-> HN>-> HN>IT don't mean a thing if it ain't got that Zing!!
-> HN>->
-> HN>-> "It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that Zing!"
-> HN>->
-> HN>-> Was that a pun on a song by the name of "It Don't Mean A Thing"?
-> HN>-> Here's the first line of the song -
-> HN>->
-> HN>-> "It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that Swing!"
-> 
-> HN>I confess!
-> 
-> You are forgiven.  :)
-> 
Whew!!

-> HN>-> I am sure Michael Loo is very familiar with that song.  As am I,
-> HN>-> being a pianist.  Which gives me an idea.  If Michael is willing,
-> HN>-> we'll put on a concert at a picnic and play the song.  Of course,
-> HN>-> you will be the main attraction, being the singer.  I'm thinking
-> HN>-> about some parody lyrics, with punch served for all...
-> 
-> HN>Now the parody lyrics I could do, the singing would be
-> HN>more punishment to the audience than would be considered
-> HN>humane under the current Geneva conventions.
-> 
-> That reminds me of a line Barack Obama gave in a presidential
-> debate concerning the national anthem.  Rather than give a canned
-> response about the Star Spangled Banner, he spouted some nonsense
-> about having a new national anthem, one that starts with -
-> 
-> "I'd like to teach the world to sing..."
-> 
-> If Obama's singing is anything like his bowling game, well, I'd
-> rather hear you sing at a picnic.  :)
-> 
You say that now....not having heard me
sing....I can make $1000/night at the 
karaoke bars...they'll pay me that much
to shut up or leave!! (grin)

-> HN>-> Back to the main topic of punch.
-> HN>->
-> HN>-> The word "punch" is from the Hindustani panch (five), in reference
-> HN>-> to the five ingredients used in the drink - tea, arrack, sugar, 
lemons,
-> HN>-> water.  However, the British tended to add a few ingredients to the
-> HN>-> mix, and panch soon became panch with a punch.  And then, the 
English
-> HN>-> came to America, introducing their new drink to the colonists.  Here
-> HN>-> is what one enterprising Enlishman wrote to a woman he had sent a
-> HN>-> box of lemons to -
-> 
-> HN>And if done right it's sure to pack a "punch"!
-> 
-> Puritans made sure to include ALL the right ingredients.  :)
-> 
-> --Lee
