The Isolated Blurt Thread XXII: Let The Butthurt Commence.

Nothing in my yard to attract the deer this year. They are snacking across the road. Drought killed some things. We are missing 8 inches!


I have never tasted caribou. At least, I can look the Santa reindeer in the eye, when I visit them at the zoo.

Musically, that song is absolutely beautiful. Lyrically, that song is absolutely horrifying.

"Patriotic" songs tend to be that way. The only exception that springs to mind is Jerusalem, and that took William Blake.

Well, it doesn't fit the tune consistently. And some of the sentiments are not wholly incompatible with fascism. And there is a chocolate box sentimentality to the vision of heaven.

But, you know, sometimes one is in chapel, and the nave is a hymn of stone, and several hundred English voices are raised together, and it seems just right.

Or Abide with Me at Wembley. There's nothing quite like eighty thousand hairy blokes belting that one out.

[spacekowboy]

Just trying to expand your options!

Now where to find said legs, that's another dilemma altogether.

5 pounds of meat in the dehydrator. Going away for the weekend so when I get home Monday I will be in jerky heaven

Or, in contact with the insurance company.

Oh shit! He thought it's about Him, again?
But that's you for you.

 

[juttjaw]

Or, in contact with the insurance company.

ha! I was thinking the exact same thing.

 

[BabblingBrooke]

Oh, hello there...

 

[JohnnySavage]

Or, in contact with the insurance company.

Then I wouldn't have to worry about cleaning the place up to sell

But you'll have to go to the gas station for jerky.

How true. I have always liked "Jerusalem". Musically, I just slightly prefer "I Vow to Thee My Country", but it's especially horrifying, even for a patriotic song.

Although I find it easier to like patriotic songs from other countries.

Well, it doesn't fit the tune consistently. And some of the sentiments are not wholly incompatible with fascism. And there is a chocolate box sentimentality to the vision of heaven.

But, you know, sometimes one is in chapel, and the nave is a hymn of stone, and several hundred English voices are raised together, and it seems just right.

Oh, certainly. If you don't pay close attention to the lyrics, it's an incredibly moving song—and sung properly, the power of the music itself can be so overwhelming that it doesn't even matter.

[deehere]

Hmm....

I'll be visiting you guys this weekend then.





Your word is good enough for me.

Like that darn song which I will not post here, but I will now force myself to listen to so I can rid my brain of it.

.......if you like Pina Coladas and getting caught in the rain.....

 

[1HF]

Mmmm jerky. I will await mine in the mail.

I'm ready for today to be over so I can curl up in bed with a book and get a good nights sleep.

 

[neci]

des is a hairy bastard!

 

[Saint Peter]

He would make a kickass pirate.

 

[neci]

he'd be eaten alive by sirens.
