“We all know obla dee, obla da but do you know where you are? LOL! The Beatles are the requisit traveling music for me and my buddy Larry.

I discovered a great cover of "She Says" done by Government Mule the other day. the song started and I thought, "I know this song. What is it? Oh wow!".”

“"The String Quartet Tribute to Evanescence.


I #&%!$ you not.”

“ok, I have a question about classical music.
My son is turning into a big fan of this kind of music. he listens to it when he goes to bed on the tv every night
so can you tell me what to look for as far as classical music, that a 12 year old might enjoy. i think he likes the loud kind, not the real mellow kind (make sence?)
im looking forward to taking him to free concerts here in Central Park.”

“Beetovian's (sorry I butchered that) 9th

You can also find at the local music store, CD's that are a collection of the best from different composers. Usually pretty cheap too!”

“...listens to the TeeVee, huh?

I was workin' on "I'm So Lonesome"
last night....great song.
Hank Williams, of course.”

“cable tv has loads of music channels.”

“Hey Maple, get your son a CD by a group called Apocaliptica. They are a chello quartet that does covers of stuff like Faith no More and Metalica. It is awesome. Heavy metal chellos!”

“Grieg, Hall of the Mountain King.”

“Heavy Metal Sucks!!!”

“The Tony Randall theme song!”

“Wagnerian overtures. :D”

“In keeping with the current morbid theme, LOL.....



You've got an invalid haircut
It hurts when you smile
You'd better get out of town
Before your nickname expires
It's the kingdom of the spiders
It's the empire of the ants
You need a permit to walk around downtown
You need a license to dance

Life'll kill ya
That's what I said
Life'll kill ya
Then you'll be dead
Life'll find ya
Wherever you go
Requiescat in pace
That's all she wrote

From the President of the United States
To the lowliest rock and roll star
The doctor is in and he'll see you now
He don't care who you are
Some get the awful, awful diseases
Some get the knife, some get the gun
Some get to die in their sleep
At the age of a hundred and one

Life'll kill ya
That's what I said
Life'll kill ya
Then you'll be dead
Life'll find ya
Wherever you go
Requiescat in pace
That's all she wrote

Maybe you'll go to heaven
See Uncle Al and Uncle Lou
Maybe you'll be reincarnated
Maybe that stuff's true
If you were good
Maybe you'll come back as someone nice
And if you were bad
Maybe you'll have to pay the price

Life'll kill ya
That's what I said
Life'll kill ya
Then you'll be dead
Life'll find ya
Wherever you go
Requiescat in pace
That's all she wrote

Why don't you tell me 'bout the mystery dance
I wanna know about the mystery dance
Why don't you show me
'cause I've tried and I've tried
and I'm still mystified

I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied
I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied
”

“Woke up this morning
Put on my slippers
Walked in the kitchen and died
And oh what a feeling!
When my soul
Went thru the ceiling
And on up into heaven I did ride

When I got there they did say
John, it happened this way
You slipped upon the floor
And hit your head
And all the angels say
Just before you passed away
These were the very last words
That you said:

Please don't bury me
Down in that cold cold ground
No, I'd druther have 'em cut me up
And pass me all around
Throw my brain in a hurricane
And the blind can have my eyes
And the deaf can take both of my ears
(If they don't mind the size)

Give my stomach to Milwaukee
If they run out of beer
Put my socks in a cedar box
Just get "em" out of here
Venus de Milo can have my arms
Look out! I've got your nose
Sell my heart to the junkman
And give my love to Rose

<Chorus>

Give my feet to the footloose
Careless, fancy free
Give my knees to the needy
Don't pull that stuff on me
Hand me down my walking cane
It's a sin to tell a lie
Send my mouth way down south
And kiss my ass goodbye

<Chorus>

“nothing at the moment but give me time”

“It started out innocently enough: I began to think at parties now and then to loosen up.
Inevitably, though, one thought led to another, and soon I was more than just a social thinker. I began to think alone - "to relax," I told myself -but I knew it wasn't true.
Thinking became more and more important to me, and finally I was thinking all the time.
I began to think on the job. I knew that thinking and employment don't mix, but I couldn't stop myself. I began to avoid friends at lunchtime so I could read Thoreau and Kafka. I would return to the office dizzied and confused, asking, "What is it exactly we are doing here?"
Things weren't going so great at home either. One evening I had turned off the TV and asked my wife about the meaning of life. She spent that night at her mother's.
I soon had a reputation as a heavy thinker. One day the boss called me in.
He said, "Mark, I like you, and it hurts me to say this, but your thinking has become a real problem. If you don't stop thinking on the job, you'll have to find another job." This gave me a lot to think about. I came home early after my conversation with the boss. "Honey," I confessed, "I've been thinking..."
"I know you've been thinking," she said, "and I want a divorce!"
"But Honey, surely it's not that serious."
"It is serious," she said, lower lip aquiver. "You think as much as a college professor, and college professors don't make any money, so if you keep on thinking, we won't have any money!"
"That's a faulty syllogism," I said impatiently, and she began to cry.
I'd had enough.
"I'm going to the library," I snarled as I stomped out the door I headed for the library, in the mood for some Nietzsche. With NPR on the radio, I roared into the parking lot and ran up to the big glass doors... they didn't open. The library was closed.
To this day, I believe that a Higher Power was looking out for me that night. As I sank to the ground, clawing at the unfeeling glass, whimpering for Zarathustra, a poster caught my eye:
"Friend, is heavy thinking ruining your life?" it asked.
You probably recognize that line. It comes from the standard Thinker's Anonymous poster - which is why I am what I am today: a recovering thinker. I never miss a TA meeting. At each meeting, we watch a non-educational video; last week it was "Porky's." Then we share experiences about how we've avoided thinking since the last meeting.
I still have my job, and things are a lot better at home. Life just seemed... easier, somehow, as soon as I stopped thinking.
Soon, I will be able to vote Republican...”

“LOL....

Stay Tuned -- I have some Proof Techniques for the Joke Thread.”

“Proof techniques? what are them tings?”

“Oh, here ya go. I should warn you, though... Math humor is notoriously unfunny, <G>”

“Yeah, I guess I found those. I thought they were humorous.”

“You'll like these, then... <G>”

“good, Tilt, good!

my head hurts already! and I've only read part of the old statistician/ old mathematician jokes.”

“I'm confused... what the hell thread am I posting to?? LOL

Songs or jokes??”

“
It took a day to build the city
We walked through its streets in the afternoon
As I returned across the fields I'd known
I recognized the walls that I once laid
I had to stop in my tracks for fear
Of walking on the mines I'd laid
”

“Well, excuuuuusse me!”

“East Mountain South You dance”

“Sorry -- I went back to posting songs on the music thread, LOL”

“Tilt, you just want everyone to sing along with ya”
