In fact, as I&#8217;m reading this I&#8217;m playing tracks 10-16 of <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">Abbey Road<\/span>, a medley of song snippets which includes the 1 minute, 12 second &#8220;Polythene Pam&#8221; among others.  Maybe it&#8217;s because I have a Chilean friend named Pam that this song came to mind.  Here&#8217;s the first verse:<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align:center;\">You should see Polythene Pam<br \/>She&#8217;s so good looking but she looks like a man<br \/>You should see her in drag<br \/>Dressed in her polythene bag<br \/>You should see Polythene Pam<\/div>\n<p>Just kidding, Pam.  You don&#8217;t really look like a man.  <span style=\"font-size:78%;\">and you&#8217;re a great kisser<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I had a great time at Cooper-Young Fest today.  I&#8217;ll post a full report in the morning from the Union Avenue branch office.  Speaking of which, JOSH wants me to let everyone know that he will be bartending and working a double, so he&#8217;ll be there all day for Sunday brunch.  And I likely will too.
