Friday Song

Posted by Joe Napalm on Fri, 01/23/2004 - 11:31pm.

Really Don't Know - Van Morrison

Really don't know, really don't know
Just what's wrong
Feel like I don't belong
And I just can't get together
Today, anyway

Keep on rainin', more and more
Everyday
Yeah, in a wider sense
Yeah, in a wider sense
Keep on rainin'
Keep on rainin'
Everyday

Look to the sky, but the sky may fall
See thru' my eye, but my eye don't see at all

Keep on rainin'

Look to the sky, but the sky may fall
See thru' my eye, but my eye don't see at all

Keep on rainin', more and more
Everyday
Yeah, in a wider sense
Yeah, in a wider sense
In the system
Every, every, every, every day

Friday song

Posted by marinerd on Fri, 01/23/2004 - 3:54pm.

Well, I don't care if it rains or freezes,
Long as I have my plastic Jesus
Riding on the dashboard of my car
Through all trials and tribulations,
We will travel every nation,
With my plastic Jesus I'll go far.

{Refrain}
Plastic Jesus, plastic Jesus
Riding on the dashboard of my car
Through all trials and tribulations,
We will travel every nation,
With my plastic Jesus I'll go far.

I don't care if it rains or freezes
As long as I've got my Plastic Jesus
Glued to the dashboard of my car,
You can buy Him phosphorescent
Glows in the dark, He's Pink and Pleasant,
Take Him with you when you're travelling far

there was lots and lots more, but I thought this was enough!

Excellent Friday song!

I like the Flaming Lips cover best (Transmissions From The Satellite Heart, track 9).

No no...you see, "Do you want eggs?" was not the question - it was the answer.

So, for instance, if the guy just spontaneously proposed to the waitress and she replied "Do you want eggs?", you could safely assume it's pretty much a no.

Yeah, that'd definitely be a no.

Actually, I think the questio

Posted by Trent on Sat, 01/24/2004 - 10:09am.

Actually, I think the question is "Do you want eggs?" Because anything that could not be considered a positive response to that question would be considered a negative response. Like,

She: "Do you want eggs?"
He: "Um, well, I just had peanut butter..."
-time passes-
He "Hey, why didn't you give me any eggs?"
She: "Anything that was not a positive response to my question could safely be considered a negative response. Therefore I put all the eggs into the bathtub."

Ah...see, I hadn't really factored the bathtub into the equation.

Either that, or I forgot the carry the one.

Hrmmm...

Not enough information.

Posted by Mike on Fri, 01/23/2004 - 9:07am.

"What kind of eggs? Chicken? Snake? I've never had snake eggs before but I'm not in the mood to experiment this morning. Dinosaur? Dodo? Those would be cool if they're still viable-- I've always dreamed of being a dodo farmer. Human? No thanks, then, I don't really have anywhere to put them. Lice? Eww! Back off, filthy!"

OK, so I don't have a chart, but here goes: *shrug shoulders*

I'm having a synchronicity moment: I'm eating an egg right now! (Makes it hard to type.)

How about "I'm positive I don't want eggs"?

FP!

"I'm sure I don't want eggs."

"I definitely need to remain eggless."

"Yes! I want them to stay in the kitchen and off my plate."

Double negative!

Posted by Mike on Fri, 01/23/2004 - 7:41am.

"I don't not want eggs." Or hey, say "I ain't never wanted no eggs" just to watch his brains fry!

Eh, it's a false premise anyway.
