Saint Genevieve

Happy birthday!

I'm currently watching the first season of HBO's "Rome," which is great. And not just because James Purefoy gets full frontally naked in one episode. (God, I love cable.)

Not the Superbowl flushing phenomenon thread I was expecting.

Hey, they've got an article about XTC: http://beingtheremag.com/column.php?issue=23&id=334

How about a project using this yarn?

We should start our own Ravelry group.

If anyone wants to friend me, my user name is daylightsparks.

Happy Holidays, one and all.

Vibes, comfort and good wishes for you and your family.

All my lies are always wishes

I know I would die if I could come back new

Tall buildings shake

Voices escape singing sad sad songs

Tuned to chords strung down your cheeks

Bitter melodies turning your orbit around

Every little thing that you do

Seems so much better than I could do

I'm counting on

A heart I know by heart

To walk me through this war

Where memories distort

i have a buddy who sends at least one of these to me a week.

I should've known you'd know about this already.

This is brilliant: http://www.jamphat.com/rap/ I don't get all the references, but I'm sure El Famoose and some other folks would.

Clicking on the pictures will take you to a YouTube video of the song in question. Oh, and some of the images are NWS due to language - just to warn you.

In high school I got a big red mallet and a very old capgun. The gun has long since been lost, but I still have the mallet, and treasure it deeply.

I would totally go to see Candygram for Mongo.

I'm hoping someone gets "PWNED."

I has a ticket!

That's some kinda weird spelling of "Waterloo Sunset" by the Kinks.

I agree. I also didn't realize Ray Davies was so fluent in Amharic.

It is a pretty awesome song, anyway.

How about "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," with the elf that wants to be a dentist?

Also - a dentist-themed party? Kids these days...

Rocket Morton on the thumpity thumpity bass, Good Times

YES! Good for you!

He runs on beans... he runs on laser beans!

(20 points to whoever gets that reference. )

The "distorted sound" all the way through may take some getting used to.

That doesn't sound super-promising.

I didn't like I very much. I'm wondering if he shot his wad with 69 Love Songs (so to speak).

Lol, women are dumb.

Nope - I did indeed drop a pug puppy on its head, but it was an accident and the puppy was fine. (I was kind of upset about it, though.)

The pug's name was Percy Walker Jones.

2. I have two cherry angiomas.

3. My great-grandfather was a Gentile.
