messy? We went home early as I had to get up at 5.00am the next morning.

we went home early to cause it was just jack singin and i wasnt stayin for parties cause i also had to get up early

Dutch, I would hope that my contribution to that thread would have given some indication of my sense of humour! I thought your description of me was delightful! I was a bit sorry more of the regulars did not join in, but who knows, they may 'discover' it soon. I hope so! It could be so much fun.

Pleased to hear you liked my contribution. I wonder how we can promote that thread to others who frequent this site? Like you to know that our mutual friend has been in touch with me no less than three times this week, has won another major Lovatts prize!

this threads dieing lets give it a kik start
who here is effected by bush fires at the moment

Seeing as how I had some time to kill I decided to resurrect this thread. It would seem somewhat sad for it to come to an end after all the time and effort which has been invested into it. Come on people, let's get this thread moving again.

Sturgis like you, I hate to see a thread come to an untimely end, surely there must be others who can make a contribution and resurrect an oldtimer. Soul_collector mentions bush fires in his post of 22 December, well these bush-fires are still blazing and causing havoc everywhere. Our problem is arsonists, they've lit no fewer than 20 fires over the past 24 hours in our beautiful hills, now black thanks to them, causing many thousands of acres to burn with resultant losses, fortunately no lives as yet.

I love you people. Let's go for 500 pages!!!!

Okay, who has a good story about their annoying-ass in-laws?

Scrabble

babble

My in-laws are gone, their ashes scattered around the ocean.

Actually the correct title was Tower of Babel...a not so stunning piece of musical glop by Elton John and Bernie Taupin back in the 1970s.

Snow, cement and ivory young towers
Someone called us Babylon
Those hungry hunters
Tracking down the hours
But where were all your shoulders when we cried
Were the darlings on the sideline
Dreaming up such cherished lies
To whisper in your ear before you die

It's party time for the guys in the tower of Babel
Sodom meet Gomorrah, Cain meet Abel
Have a ball y'all
See the letches crawl
With the call girls under the table
Watch them dig their graves
`Cause Jesus don't save the guys
In the tower of Babel

Watch them dig their graves
`Cause Jesus don't save the guys
In the tower of Babel, no no no

Junk, angel, this closet's always stacked
The dealers in the basement
Filling your prescription
For a brand new heart attack

But where were all your shoulders when we cried
Were the doctors in attendance
Saying how they felt so sick inside
Or was it just the scalpel blade that lied

It was on the Captain Fantastic album...which for some unknown reason I still have.


Speaking of babble...

I've tried to listen, but I think my fish speak a foreign language.

i love the captain fantastic album

Really? I suppose I liked it at some point in time...I just can't recall when. It was a pale and boring album after Caribou which had such classics as Grimsby and Solar Prestige A Gammon (whatever that was supposed to mean with lines such as hair ring molassis abounding) and my personal favorite The Bitch Is Back.


The Bitch Is Back


Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Available on the album Caribou



I was justified when I was five
Raising cane, I spit in your eye
Times are changing, now the poor get fat
But the fever's gonna catch you when the bitch gets back

Eat meat on Friday that's alright
Even like steak on a Saturday night
I can bitch the best at your social do's
I get high in the evening sniffing pots of glue

I'm a bitch, I'm a bitch
Oh the bitch is back
Stone cold sober as a matter of fact
I can bitch, I can bitch
`Cause I'm better than you
It's the way that I move
The things that I do

I entertain by picking brains
Sell my soul by dropping names
I don't like those, my God, what's that
Oh it's full of nasty habits when the bitch gets back

i'd say my three fave's would have to be honky chateau, yellow brick road and captain fantastic

Sturgis, no matter how bad you may think Captain Fantastic is, you have to admit it is waaaaaaaay better than that shmaltzy ridiculous disney diva crap he's been putting out for the past ten to twenty years.
