Amos is not only to be commiserated with
but commended for his heroic efforts
to comply with the new rule,

regardless of being treated for the big C.
(Treated is such a little word for what was done to him -- OUCH.)

This does it for me - one of the first songs I heard from Dominic Behan
Jim Carroll

THE SODDING
(Fintan Connolly)

Were yeh ever above on the glasnevin bend
When the wind cut your face and the rain wouldn't end
And the corpses stood up and they gave three hurrahs
For they thought yeh were comin' to join them at last?
I'll tell yeh no lie, tho that cemet'ry sleeps
It always bejazes fills me with the creeps
Especially when up to a sodding I roam
And a voice somewhere whispers "Yer not goin' home.

Then some clergyman kicks up a bloody loud din
When he gets them singin' some mournful ould hymn,
And the silence is shook when he throws a few clods
Of turf on the top of the boxed-in poor sod.
Then out with the hankies and dryin' of eyes,
"I loved him!" "Adored him!" All bloody lies:
They think they'll not quick enough be from the joint
To get to the 'Brian Boru' bar for a pint!

With their small ones and large ones, the greedy oul things,
Some hypocrite says "Now he'd like to sing;
"A man of the world he'd never see wrong
If we cheered ourselves up with a bar of a song."
Then the widow she manfully tales off her cant,
"I'm sure that it's what Johnny would want,
And though she controls every muscle, the bitch,
Her feet below table are starting to twitch.

Well, talk about mourners beginning to sing,
Before long they're prancing and dancing the Fling;
There's a rush to the counter with fivers and pounds,
And Johnny, as usual's, out of the round.
Then some drunk 'round the widow places an arm
Tryin' to console her, and meanin' no harm,
When some narky relation, made brave on the stout,
Into the street he invites the man out!

The widow, she screams — to get into the act-
"For God's sake; For Johnny's sake hold them two back!
"If Johnny could see the disgrace to his name
"The poor man, bejazes, would die of the shame!
If you're thinkin' of dying now take my advice;
If yer thinkin' of dying in Dublin think twice.
Hang on till this crowd gets their call to appear,
Unless yeh want them to make the joke of the year.

I agree Nigel, the rest of Spamalot isn't up to much. But the Not Yet Dead song (performed by David Hyde as Not-Dead-Fred in 2005) is brilliant. He's an American but his English accent is perfect. Miles better than that of Dick Van Dyke!

If violators could face capital punishment,
I can not be on board with the morality of the new rule,
but I am spiritually in favor of it. :^/

If the only thing left certain is taxes then we face taxation forever/
Taxum Eternum.

This new rule is not thought through.
In the world this rule could be sought
as a cure for all disease.
Please, is this divinity?
Like Trump for infinity?

I heard a song from Spamalot on "Elaine Paige on Sunday" today.
"Find your Grail" sounded an awful lot like "Take me home country roads" both in the melody and the accompaniment.

Hahahaha! Anyone familiar with the opening act of Spamalot? '"Bring out out your dead!" I just adore the song:-

"I am NOT dead yet, I can dance and I can sing!
I am NOT dead yet, I can do the Highland Fling!
I am NOT yet dead, no need to go to bed,
No need to call the doctor cos
I'M NOT YET DEAD!"

Well, it's fine with me if dying is prohibited, but His Imperiousness must be certain His enforcers fully understand the difference between dying and dyeing. We would hate to see some old folkie tossed into the Imperial Oubliette for attempting to dye his gray beard Cerulean Blue.

We do not care to watch you remove your teeth and brush them, but We do believe that you should do it more often than once per year.

That's a relief...

I was very alarmed the new rule might be

"No posting to any mudcat threads if only wearing underpants, or no clothing all...!!!"...!!!!!!!


Btw.. remember to duct tape over laptop webcams...

You never know who's hacked in and watching.....?????
