Yeah I caught that one too Second note: I get that because I have been in this business and well established in my area for a very long time. "pre- piracy $300 - $400 a night was fairly common here. But that all changed in the past 10 to 15 years. I think his response to my Moose lodge question pretty much answers the last part!

Fungus does not have enough nutritional value to bother with not to mention the chance of poisoning. You would learn to ignore them entirely.

I too was taught to identify wild mushrooms (fungi) and know the difference between edible and poisonous varieties. The good: This food is low in Saturated Fat and Sodium, and very low in Cholesterol. It is also a good source of Dietary Fiber, Protein, Vitamin C, Folate, Iron, Zinc and Manganese, and a very good source of Vitamin D, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Vitamin B6, Pantothenic Acid, Phosphorus, Potassium, Copper and Selenium.

Yes but those had a little hallucinogenic property to them... ie: psilocybin mushrooms~ Although not all mushrooms that grow on the cowpile are psilocybin mushrooms some are edible and some are not. All of the mushrooms you buy in the store are grown in cow manure!

It did teach me one important thing to know and respect your enemy, and don't get over confident. Oh and about the bribe thing, the one reason customers come to my show is that they know I run a strict rotation, not inserting my friends or relatives randomly in. They like the fact that I treat everyone with respect, and do my best to make their karaoke experience enjoyable. So if they want to throw something in the hat I have no problem with that, if they don't they will still get the same level of professional treatment. I know one thing also if we were both set out in a wilderness area with only a knife, I have no doubt I would make it back, I don't know about you.

Never had that happen in 20 years. Although one member here (that doesn't post very much anymore - Babs) had it happen to her stage once. That would delay the show for sure. Would that make everyone sound like they are singing "Bubbly"? ...And if they sang it in french, would that be " Buble' ""?

Like eating a sack of vegetable snot.....

Murray C wrote: Ummmmmmm ????? Looks like I have another candidate for the ignore list! Murray, it looks like a mis-quote the first one, belongs to me and has been my stance since I first started in this business. Quote: 1. I have never had to nor will I ever put out a tip jar to beg for my pay. I run a business I charge as a business and I am paid as a business. I turn down "tips" (bribes) every night! The second one you quoted belongs to Brian. The Lone Ranger wrote: You can believe what you want to... ...I will tell you this. I have a green Irish hat that I set out, quite often I have 20.00 tips in it, quite often I make a $100.00 a night in tips. I don't know how he does it but somehow he gets a lot of quotes mixed up when he repost them.

Thunder:
It is apparent to me that Lone Ranger does not preview his posts before submitting. I've noticed that there are frequent errors in the cut & paste of quotes.
It is a simple step, that is often overlooked.
However, when you are quoting someone, it is essential that you do it correctly.
At a minimum it is courteous and considerate of the other participants.
