Subject: RE: BS: The Pointless Thread.... From: khandu Date: 15 Mar 06 - 11:06 PM Yes, I recall that very same thing, but I was too given to masturbation that year to notice for certain. Now, the question which upon all our lips is this; How many of you were heavily influenced by the music of Tommy Roe? Kk |
Subject: RE: BS: The Pointless Thread.... From: autolycus Date: 16 Mar 06 - 07:14 AM MMario - since this is a pointless thread, there's no point to change. Once you change the point, as has already happenened, then this ceases to be a pointless thread, and thus the point of this thread is lost, namely not to have a point. OR I'll just sit here for a while. Sans point. OR aLL THREADS THAT DRIFT (whoops - didn't mean to shout) don't have a point - they have many. Please don't discuss, or I'll have to show it to the therapist I don't have. Ivor |
Subject: RE: BS: The Pointless Thread.... From: Peace Date: 16 Mar 06 - 12:00 PM "How many of you were heavily influenced by the music of Tommy Roe?" I used to do "Sheila". (THE SONG. Get yer filthy minds OUT of the GUTTER.) Audiences liked it. Even folk audiences. |
Subject: RE: BS: The Pointless Thread.... From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 16 Mar 06 - 02:20 PM I was tremendously influenced by the music of Tommy Roe. I hated it. My sisters loved it. That musical divide led me to the conclusion that, though my sisters and I share a lot of genetic material, we really have nothing in common. That initial hypothesis has been fully supported by amost forty years of subsequent family history. |
Subject: RE: BS: The Pointless Thread.... From: Peace Date: 16 Mar 06 - 02:26 PM The music of Tommy roe: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I liked but that one song. |
Subject: RE: BS: The Pointless Thread.... From: GUEST,khandu Date: 16 Mar 06 - 06:10 PM For those of you who love Tommy Roe, here is one of your favorite songs!!! (Click lyrics for your viewing pleasure!) Sweet Pea (Tommy Roe) Oh, Sweet Pea Come on and dance with me Come on, come on, come on and dance with me Oh, Sweet Pea Won't you be my girl Won't you, won't you, won't you be my girl I went to a dance just the other night I saw a girl there she was out of sight I asked a friend of mine who she could be He said that her friends just call her Sweet Pea Oh, Sweet Pea Come on and dance with me Come on, come on, come on and dance with me Oh, Sweet Pea Won't you be my girl Won't you, won't you, won't you be my girl I walked on over and I asked her to dance Thinkin' maybe later on We'd be makin' romance But every guy there was thinkin'like me I had to stand in line To get a dance with Sweet Pea Oh, Sweet Pea Come on and dance with me Come on, come on, come on and dance with me Oh, Sweet Pea Won't you be my girl Won't you, won't you, won't you be my girl I finally got to whisper sweet words in her ear Convinced her that we oughta get away from there We took a little walk I held her close to me And underneath the stars I said to Sweet Pea Oh, Sweet Pea I love you can't you see Love you, love you, love you can't you see Oh, Sweet Pea Won't you be my girl Won't you, won't you, won't you be my girl Kk |
Subject: RE: BS: The Pointless Thread.... From: GUEST,khandu Date: 16 Mar 06 - 09:10 PM For those of you who do not know...there was, is, and shall never be any point to Tommy Roe or his music. Therefore, I did not turn this pointless thread into a pointed thread by posting the lyrics to his wonderfully inane song, as there is absolutely no point to the song! So...on with the pointless thread. But wait.......... Wasn't there a bunch of pointless thread surface within a month period a few years back? Threads like "The D Chord" and such? Opps...no point in bringing that up! Kk |
Subject: RE: BS: The Pointless Thread.... From: Bobert Date: 16 Mar 06 - 10:00 PM Well having made at least one point I know I am wading into the abyss here but, ahhhhhh, did Tommy Roe really wear a clothes pin on his nose when he sang??? Sorry about the un-thread-drift... BTW, with summer coming on be sure to take the winter air out of your tires and replace it with hot, humid and oppressive and 30% chance of showers air... B~ |
Subject: RE: BS: The Pointless Thread.... From: GUEST,khandu Date: 16 Mar 06 - 10:27 PM Doing a Forum Search here, I was astounded to find (not including this thread) 28 separate posts that mention ♫ Tommy Roe ♫!!! Quite a popular fellow among the Mudcatcrew! Yet, in all this, there is NO mention of the clothespin on the nose routine! Sorry, Bobert, I'm not much help. Tweed could probably answer if you can find him! Kk |
Subject: RE: BS: The Pointless Thread.... From: Peace Date: 16 Mar 06 - 10:45 PM You guys are just joshin' when you say that Tommy Roe's "Sheila" ain't a classic, right? |
Subject: RE: BS: The Pointless Thread.... From: Peace Date: 16 Mar 06 - 10:47 PM Right???? |
Subject: RE: BS: The Pointless Thread.... From: frogprince Date: 16 Mar 06 - 10:54 PM Hee, Hee...I wondered where my reference to "Confederates in the Attic" went the first time I tried to post it in the "Reenactors" thread. |
Subject: RE: BS: The Pointless Thread.... From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 16 Mar 06 - 11:09 PM I have a confession to make. I did not know until it was mentioned in this thread that "Sheila" was a Tommy Roe song. I do not remember the song at all from "back then". I've since heard it numerous times on oldies radio stations, but they never tell you who performs anything. Peace is right. It's a decent song. That it would have been performed by the same guy who did "Sweet Pea" and "Dizzy" is odd. It's not worthy of inclusion in "Ripley's Believe it or Not!" or anything, but it is odd. I have another confession to make. I always got Tommy Roe and Tommy James (of The Shondells) mixed up. They both sucked. |
Subject: RE: BS: The Pointless Thread.... From: Bobert Date: 16 Mar 06 - 11:32 PM And a teddy-bear to the Beezer... Yes, both Tommy James andf Tommy Roe did suck... Maybe it's the "Tommy" factor??? But I'm still wondering if either, or both, of ther Tommys were related to Bobby Goldsoro, the suckiest of all time??? Ahhhhh, not to ataully carry on a thought in what was supposed to be a thoughtless and meaningless thread intended for ther depths of Mudcrap uninfamuonity.... B... |
Subject: RE: BS: The Pointless Thread.... From: Peace Date: 17 Mar 06 - 05:13 PM You are a gentleman and a scholar, BWL. BTW, ya gotta admit that "Crimson and Clover" had a kinda neat thang about it, huh? I agree however, that the rest of their stuff I ever heard sucked rocks big time. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Pointless Thread.... From: Peace Date: 18 Mar 06 - 05:37 PM However, the Crimson and Clover song was lotsa tremolo with a bit of reverb. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Pointless Thread.... From: GUEST,khandu Date: 20 Mar 06 - 05:47 PM Ah, but back up a few more years and we find another sucky Tommy...Tommy Sands, the Elvis/Pat Boone wanna-be. Who would ever wanna-be Pat Boone??? That's worse than wanting to be Pat (Spawzer) Patterson! Now, you gotta admit Tommy James released one of the most brilliant songs of all time! The lyrics are marvelous! Inspiring! Each line pulls the listener to the next in great anticipation! My Baby does the hanky-panky, My Baby does the hanky-panky, My Baby does the hanky-panky, My Baby does the hanky-panky, My Baby does the hanky-panky God, I wish I had written that! Kk |

Subject: RE: BS: The Pointless Thread.... From: Peace Date: 21 Mar 06 - 01:29 AM "Who would ever wanna-be Pat Boone???" That remark was prompted by shoe jealousy, IMO. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Pointless Thread.... From: Bobert Date: 22 Mar 06 - 09:08 PM Very good, khan.... You almost made a point and that, ahhhhhh, would have made you ineligible for the Pointless Sweepstakes.... Nice recovery, tho, and you are very much in the running so you just keep sittin' by the phone... Ahhhhhh, what's with pi anyway? How come it don't repeat itself no matter how long they run it out on a pudder machine??? And I heard that the Devil his-miserable-self owns the patent on pi... But then I also heard that the Devil has purchased all royalties to the song "She wore a pokka dotted itsy-bitsy bakina"... And while we are skipping merrily thru the pointlass forest, what is it about women??? |

Subject: RE: BS: The Pointless Thread.... From: Rapparee Date: 22 Mar 06 - 09:40 PM Pi's repeats numbers all the time. Like, pi to eight decimal places is 3.14159265: that's two 1s and two 5s, or four out of nine (prit near half!)numbers are repeated. Now, to twenty decimal places it's 3.14159265358979323846, with works out to two 1s, two 2s, four 3's, two 4's, three 5's, two 6's, one 7, two 8's, and three 9's. So you can see that the more decimal places you have the more often the numbers repeat. I mean, geez, we've only got ten digits from 0 to 9.... |
Subject: RE: BS: The Pointless Thread.... From: khandu Date: 22 Mar 06 - 09:41 PM bobad is excommunixicated for trying to force a point upon the rest of us. I think he should be severiously shunned and made to watch the complete "My Mother, The Car" box set in one sitting! Then he will realize that there is a point in having no point! "what is it about women???" Bobertz asked. I will answer with this cryptic conundrumattical egnima... The answer to the question is "They are just like this thread!" Kk |
Subject: RE: BS: The Pointless Thread.... From: Bobert Date: 22 Mar 06 - 09:58 PM Last warnin', kanster... Might of fact you and bobad is treadin' on some bo-bad ice... Ahhhhh, I'm thinkin' that the 3 point line needs to be moved??? But like not in a semicircle but in a meanderin' line that moves every game kinda like movin' the cup on the puttin' green.... |
Subject: RE: BS: The Pointless Thread.... From: bobad Date: 22 Mar 06 - 10:21 PM In my defence I'd like to make a poi.. er, let me rephrase that, what I mean to say is that the whole poi.. er, the plot of the story, if you remember, is that Oblio was born pointless in the land of Point and because of that he ( and his dog Arrow ) were banished to the pointless forest ( where all things are pointless and nothing is pointed ) where they met all kinds of neat creatures including the pointed man who quickly pointed out that "a point in every direction is the same as no point at all." Upon his return the townspeople greeted Oblio and Arrow and gave them a hero's welcome. You see, no one ever had been to the Pointless forest, so naturally they wanted to know what was there. Oblio told his story and when he was finished, he stood up and proclaimed, "Since every thing I've seen has a point then I must have one too". Some one in the crowd yelled "He's got a point there." The Count removed Oblio's hat, hoping to quiet the crowd, but revealed (to his astonishmnt) a point on Oblio's head. At that moment, all the points on the tops of the buildings and people began to melt. So in the end it was all pointless and everyone lived happily ever after. |
