Ten Thunders

[Dillinger]

And a thousand minus one nights. Can you pick the correct answer? Do you even understand the question? Go for it, you got nothing to lose except yourself. Dribdrab the flimflam!

Yowza.

 

[Dillinger]

Hey... fuck you too! *smile Or three... or...

Really - there is an answer.

Dillinger,

Stop with the damn polls! It ruins the interesting things you have to say.

I thought this was quite interesting?

You know the problem with polls though. Voting doesn't bring it back to the top of the BB - so if people only vote, and don't post, then it disappears.

Another interesting thing about polls - you CAN say interesting things - whether you vote or not. Its strange but it seems to me that most people here treat polls as ONLY polls and don't bother having discussions - in which case I would then agree with you about it not cultivating interesting interactions.

I kind of view the polls as an add-on to conversation as opposed to an alternative - but perhaps I'm in the minority.

I put where's the beef .... because I am hungry right now.

I hear a particular thunder every time I turn on the puter or microwave or DVD. Doesn't everyone? Or do they just take it for granted?

I think this thunder is apropos for the Lit BB:

I picked His name was Johnny....

 

[lilfrk]

Your polls make me feel clueless. I just look at them and think man they didn't teach me shit in school.

 

[Dillinger]

Some of you are right - some of you are close... I'll post the right answer soon.

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

But.....

My thunder.....

Goes to eleven.

One louder than yours.

His name was Johnny...I'm sure of that part. As far as the band goes...I heard they never really got it off the ground.

"riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs." -- James Joyce

The correct answer is bababadalgharaghtakamminarronnkonnbronntonnerronntuonnthunntrovarrhounawnskawntoohoohoordenenthurnuk

Which is the first of the 10 hundred-letter "thunder words" that appear in Joyce's masterpiece "Finnegan's Wake"

It looks like 4 of you got the "right" answer - though I'm not sure if it was for the "right" reason... *lol*

Those of you who answered "His name was Johnny, he played in a band." - good guess... there was logic behind it in that Johnny Thunders was the lead guitarist and vocalist for The New York Dolls.

beckbabe - The New York Dolls (David Johanson {who later became Buster Poindexter} - Sylvain Sylvain, Arthur Kane, Johnny Thunders, Billy Murcia) were actually quite popular, at least from a cult viewpoint and were very influential in the development of both the Punk and Glam movements in rock. After the Dolls he formed Johnny Thunders and the Heartbreakers (which also included Punk icon Richard Hell before he broke out on his own with "Love Comes in Spurts" and "Blank Generation") He also has solo albums and also played with Gang War, Junkies and others.

Thefall (bababadalgharaghtakamminarronnkonnbronntonnerronntuonnthunntrovarrhounawnskawntoohoohoordenenthurnuk!) of a once wallstrait oldparr is retaled early in bed and later on life down through all christian minstrelsy. The great fall of the offwall entailed at such short notice the pftjschute of Finnegan, erse solid man, that the humptyhillhead of humself prumptly sends an unquiring one well to the west in quest of his tumptytumtoes: and their upturnpikepointandplace is at the knock out in the park where oranges have been laid to rust upon the green since devlinsfirst loved livvy.

I was right! And I knew it was a stream of conciousness thing! (James Joyce was who I was thinking too!) Do I get a cookie?

 

[beckbabe]

Dillinger, now I have to go read a classic, in the summer. First I had to look up vicus, but it's not in my dictionary? I seem to have vicuna, followed by vide. I may hide from the next poll.

Babe - you get whatever you want... if Siren was still giving out Lit points anyone who got this thing right would deserve a bushel of them.

Kudos for biting the bullet and playing the game. Don't you dare not participate in the next poll. And... if you actually make it ALL the way through Finnegan's Wake by the end of the summer (and YES, there will be a test) you get to pick your prize.
