OldGreyEagle 5 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 So, on the Asking about God in the Advancement thread, I sorta screwed up, well no I actually screwed up when I asked the question. I should have just copied the original post on take 2 and let it go. So if I mis-stated the original post, I am sorry as I recall I was under fire, yeah thats the ticket, I was under artillery, no, wait, mortar, no wait, sniper, yeah yeah thats the ticket I was under sniper fire and wasnt being cogent, yeah thats the ticket, I was under sniper fire so I am in no way responsible for my actions. Now I must get back to my wife, Morgan Fairchild Link to post Share on other sites

packsaddle 753 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 OGE, save your excuses for the IRS or maybe the overdue desk at the library. You don't need to explain anything, I (perhaps we) understand, and as far as I'm concerned it isn't even worth one 'Hail Mary'. But the original thread was kind interesting. It was almost exactly like a bunch of boys sitting around the campfire, talking. One asks a thoughtful question...there's a bunch of opinions thrown around...some discussion...and then their ADHD minds spin off into unpredictable directions and first thing you know they're having a wacky song contest. What could be more endearing than that? Link to post Share on other sites
CalicoPenn 729 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Only one thing could be more endearing - hijacking a mea culpa thread to try to get the process to repeat itself as a way of saying "We understand, and Don't Sweat It". Sooooo with that in mind...

OldGreyEagle 5 Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 Well thanks guys, I guess I am a little down and singing does perk the spirit and so, I guess the next selection is obvious Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens Brown paper packages tied up with strings These are a few of my favorite things Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings These are a few of my favorite things Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes Silver white winters that melt into springs These are a few of my favorite things When the dog bites When the bee stings When I'm feeling sad I simply remember my favorite things And then I don't feel so bad Link to post Share on other sites
packsaddle 753 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Heh, heh, I have a slightly different version, it ends: When the dog bites When the bee stings When I'm feeling sad I simply remember my mother-in-law And then I don't feel so bad Link to post Share on other sites
OldGreyEagle 5 Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 ::Spoken with inflection from the famous Jim Mora "Playoffs tirade" Mother-in-law? Mother-in-law, dont talk to me about mother-in-laws, this calls for major perk Haul out the holly; Put up the tree before my spirit falls again. Fill up the stocking, I may be rushing things, but deck the halls again now. For we need a little Christmas Right this very minute, Candles in the window, Carols at the spinet. Yes, we need a little Christmas Right this very minute. It hasn't snowed a single flurry, But Santa, dear, we're in a hurry; So climb down the chimney; Put up the brightest string of lights I've ever seen. Slice up the fruitcake; It's time we hung some tinsel on that evergreen bough. For I've grown a little leaner, Grown a little colder, Grown a little sadder, Grown a little older, And we need a little Christmas now Link to post Share on other sites
GernBlansten 10 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving And revolving at 900 miles an hour, That's orbiting at 19 miles a second, so it's reckoned, A sun that is the source of all our power. The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see, Are moving at a million miles a day In an outer spiral arm, at 40,000 miles an hour, Of the galaxy we call the Milky Way. Our galaxy itself contains 100 billion stars It's 100,000 light years side to side. It bulges in the middle, 16,000 light years thick But out by us its just 3,000 light years wide We're 30,000 light years from galactic central point, We go round every 200 million years And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions In this amazing and expanding Universe. The Universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding In all of the directions it can whizz As fast as it can go, at the speed of light you know, 12 million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is. So remember when you're feeling very small and insecure How amazingly unlikely is your birth And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space Because there' bugger all down here on earth.

WAKWIB 107 Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 OK. Well, since this is a thread, spun from a thread, that was spun from a thread, that(I think) was spun from a thread that had something to do with God.....here is my lyrical contribution. Praise God from whom all blessings flow! Praise Him all creatures here below! Praise Him above ye Heavenly hosts! Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost! Amen! That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Peace. Link to post Share on other sites
