Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

It is right before "see if I care?" I think I am probably mishearing lyrics!!

ETA:

Well, go on down to Jackson; go ahead and wreck your health.
Go play your hand you big-talkin' man, make a big fool of yourself,
You're goin' to Jackson; go comb your hair!
Honey, I'm gonna snowball Jackson.
See if I care.

All the lyrics sites have some variation of "Yeah, go to Jackson; go comb your hair! Honey, I'm gonna snowball Jackson. See if I care." I have no idea what it means. The only verb definitions I can find in a regular dictionary are to throw a snowball at someone, which makes no sense there, or to make something bigger, which doesn't make too much sense, either.

OH, I was looking at a WHOLE OTHER "Johnny and June" song! Hah. (ETA: I thought you were saying the SONG was "Johnny and June", not the song was BY Johnny and June)

Yahoo answers seems to have a decent answer to this one: [link] They say it means he's going to roll through Jackson like a snowball gathering speed rolling down a hill. Also found one site that says it's not a drug reference, but doesn't clarify what it is.

That makes sense. I am pretty sure he did not mean [link]

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

AFAIK, to snowball someone is to bamboozle them, fool them into doing something for you. Though now that I think about it, I can't recall where I heard it used that way.

Because books.

I think that's just plain snowing, Zen. The only place I can remember "snowballing" used was in that Julia Roberts movie Stepmom, but they never explained what it meant.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My knowledge of snowballing is Sophia's.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I did more packing of boxes to mail, met someone from the hood who bought two board games from me, and started transferring things in the fridge out of real dishes. I can't believe I did not think to do that before. In the fridge were/are: 2 medium pyrex casserole dishes, 2 small pyrex refrigerator dishes, a glass pitcher, a plastic pitcher, MY COFFEE POT!, a butter dish, and a tupperware lettuce keeper.

Now I am going to take a warm bath and go to bed. I have a lot to do tomorrow.

The very best tool I've found for cleaning out details is a nutpick, sarameg. I've bought more than one set of cheap nutpicks and a nutcracker. The bonus is that type of nutcracker is excellent for opening stubborn metal cans of varnish thinner and the like.
