If I had a million dollars...

[ny biker]

I would replace all the wooden bridges on the WOD trail.

Starting with the one over Broad St. in Falls Church.

If I had a million dollars and wanted to fix something on the W&OD, I'd replace all the trees that were cleared out between Herndon and Leesburg, and I'd buy out the power company to prevent them from removing any of the trees between Leesburg and Purcellville. And if there was any money left over, then I'd take care of those bridges for you.

I'd buy you a green dress, but not a real green dress. That's cruel.

I would buy you a K car, a nice reliant automobile.

Then I'd build bridges instead of street crossings on that WOD, widen the whole thing and prohibit nitwits with aeorobars from using it for "training"

I like wooden bridges, though.

I missed something, and I want to know what.

[Possegal]

I'd buy you furniture for your house
(Maybe a nice chesterfield or an ottoman)

I like that line, because my canadian mother always called the couch the chesterfield.


Pssst, DB - they are lyrics to the barenaked ladies song "If I had a million dollars".

I always wondered what a Chesterfield was. Thanks!

ches·ter·field (chěs'tər-fēld') n.

1. A single- or double-breasted overcoat, usually with concealed buttons and a velvet collar.
2. Chiefly Northern California & Canada A sofa.


[After a 19th-century earl of Chesterfield.]
Chesterfield, a term for a sofa, especially a large one with upholstered arms, was probably brought down from Canada, where it is common. In the United States, it was largely limited to the trade region of San Francisco in northern California. According to Craig M. Carver in American Regional Dialects, the word probably comes from the name of a 19th-century earl of Chesterfield and originally referred "specifically to a couch with upright armrests at either end." It appears to have come into use in Canada around 1903 and in northern California at about the same time.

Dijon ketchups.

(I have almost every version of that song that has ever been recorded, including Steve and Ed singing it on a table in the dining room of a cruise ship) so that might not be in your version.)

LOL, I agree. You definitely need a carbon fork for that one. All of those wooden bridges freeze up pretty quickly, too.

Oh, no wonder I didn't get it. Never heard a barenaked ladies song...if it wasn't popular in the 70s, then forget it.

[Tuckervill]

I'll bet you HAVE heard a BNL song, and just didn't know it. Think Toyota commercial.

They do the theme song for a newish sitcom called Big Bang Theory, too.
