5 Years

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

On this great occasion I refer you to the lyrics of my good friend, Dame Bowie.

Pushing thru the market square, so many mothers sighing
News had just come over, we had five years left to cry in
News guy wept and told us, earth was really dying
Cried so much his face was wet, then I knew he was not lying
I heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies
I saw boys, toys electric irons and t.v.s
My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things to store everything in there
And all the fat-skinny people, and all the tall-short people
And all the nobody people, and all the somebody people
I never thought I'd need so many people

A girl my age went off her head, hit some tiny children
If the black hadnt a-pulled her off, I think she would have killed them
A soldier with a broken arm, fixed his stare to the wheels of a cadillac
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest, and a queer threw up at the sight of that

I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour, drinking milk shakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine, dont think
You knew you were in this song
And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor
And I thought of ma and I wanted to get back there
Your face, your race, the way that you talk
I kiss you, youre beautiful, I want you to walk

Weve got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
Weve got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, thats all weve got
Weve got five years, what a surprise
Five years, stuck on my eyes
Weve got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, thats all weve got
Weve got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
Weve got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, thats all weve got
Weve got five years, what a surprise
Weve got five years, stuck on my eyes
Weve got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, thats all weve got
Five years
Five years

I salute you Rebis. To a man of your intelligence, hanging around here must be quite tricky at times, but you tolerate us all and soldier on.

Cudos to that. :)

I tolerate (barely) Predabot.

I don't tolerate the rest of you.

One of these statements is true. Unfortunately.

Maybe given the right dimension of laws of nature, BOTH statements can be true?? :D :eh?:

Ah, but insolent dog!s are a law unto myself.

Did I ever mention that a decade ago I was given the nickname of The Rabid Mutt.

How times haven't changed.

After the second or third time on there, I just bookmarked the forums front page and bypassed it for the rest of time. :oops:

I quite liked being summoned here for a purpose.

I now lack direction.

The messgae I got when I first logged on here was "Oh [composite word including 'f*ck'] off you ****".

Which coming from Orsden Welles was quiet scary.
