gnu,

Words have various meanings. Take off one layer and you find another.

And life is more than a bowl of cheeries as I know since I'm living in pitts burgh.

And for whatever reason this song has come to me demanding to be heard:
"I'm gonna lay down my sword and shield
   down down
Down by the riverside.
   way down
Down by the riverside.
I'm gonna lay down my sword and shield
Down by the riverside.
I'm gonna stu-u-dy war no more.
I ain't gonna study war no more.
I ain't gonna study war no more.
I ain't gonna stu-u-dy war no more.

Now I don't have a clue what this has to do with Yorick being out of his skull or with the genuis Prince who I'm down with in one manner of speaking and definitely not in another..

As I said before, to each his own..and let the good times roll right along with the river.
