Subject: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 35 From: Áine Date: 23 Jul 00 - 11:39 AM This Challenge! was suggested by sophocleese (thanks!). If you're getting those summertime doldrums (or wintertime doldrums, if you're one of our NZ/OZ friends), here's a frisky little Challenge! that ought to blow those doldrums right away (hehehehehe): So A Man Walks Into A Bar With A Fox Under His Arm And... -- "This whole story has been blown out of all proportion," said a spokeswoman for the Over and Sons garage in Aspatria. "It's true that last week a man walked onto our forecourt in the Market Place with a fox under his arm, pushed the nozzle of the compressed air line into the animal's rectum, put 20p in the slot, and pumped it until it exploded. But what the newspaper reports didn't mention was that the animal was already dead." The spokeswoman explained that the garage had been under siege for several days following reports about the incident. A report appeared in the local paper, talking about 'this sickening and horrible act,' and next day the nasty phone calls started. Animal rights activists even threatened to make reprisal attacks on the garage, and more staff were called in. But what had really happened was that an amateur taxidermist had brought the dead fox in, and asked if he could pump some air between the fur and the skin, to loosen the pelt. After apparently 'overdoing' it a bit, he then ran away in embarrassment. The garage's spokeswoman continued, "It ought to be obvious to anyone that the animal couldn't have been alive. I mean, it's hard enough to even hold a live fox, let alone insert an air-line up its rectum. I should imagine." Police later confirmed that they had spoken to a man about the incident. "We are convinced that no criminal act has taken place, but we did warn him about the inadvisability of inflating animals in a public place." Go for it, Challenge!rs!!! -- Áine |

Well, I went to the bar ordered ale in a glass |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 35 From: Mbo Date: 23 Jul 00 - 12:35 PM Reminds me of the guy in Cervantes' Don Quixote who used to grab dogs off the street, insert a long piece of cane into their rectum, and inflate them like a balloon. Then he'd give the dog a thump on the gut and say to the horrified passers-by "You think your life is hard? Well TRY THIS!" He was from Seville... --Mbo |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 35 From: wysiwyg Date: 23 Jul 00 - 06:04 PM Parody on a DT Song, FOX HOLLOW SONG by Richard Wilkie This makes little sense unless you first read the original (which I have stolen nearly line for line because I am tired and lazy and it is the quickest way to get a song posted!!!!)....
The dunderheads were sitting on the barstools down below |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 35 From: Áine Date: 24 Jul 00 - 12:17 AM That's a purty darn good one, Praise! And don't think that you have to rush -- we'll still be here tomorrow (fingers crossed, gang??). And here's a Silver B.L.O.B. to you for: And we hope to have the fox put back together in the summer time next year Well done! --- Áine |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 35 From: MMario Date: 24 Jul 00 - 09:47 AM still brain burnt from the weekend (time travel does that to you) but hope to merge this challege with a little weasel explosion we had this weekend and come up with something.....(my brain aches....yes, I work with people who have exploding weasels. don't ask) |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 35 From: GUEST,Amos Date: 24 Jul 00 - 10:14 AM ....yes, I work with people who have exploding weasels. don't ask MM, I'm sorry to disregard a perfectly plain warning, but...I'm asking! A. |

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 35 From: Mbo Date: 24 Jul 00 - 10:53 AM Do you not know the origin of the song "Pop Goes The Weasle"? You need to come visit the Tryon Palace, my friend! --Matt |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 35 From: GUEST,Roger the skiffler Date: 24 Jul 00 - 11:42 AM Soph beat me to that last suggested challenge. How about completing this blues (suggested as a beginning by someone who was being sniffy about the 20's blues in an article recently, presumably a cross between Empty Bed Blues and Mean Ol' Bed Bug Blues): Woke up this mornin' Bedbug had eaten my man RtS (change gender to suit) |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 35 From: wysiwyg Date: 24 Jul 00 - 12:16 PM I don't know why we are all bothering when Spaw can and should trump us all. Speaking of weasels, tho, I once heard someone say they didn't have an inner child, but rather an inner weasel. Then there is good old Billy Barlow. Surely someone can add a few verses to that one in honor of the unfortunate experience sustained by the late fox. RtS, all I can think of in response is, "You coulda blowed my mind baby, but it wasn't enough...." How do you defrag an entire mind??? ~S~ |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 35 From: Áine Date: 24 Jul 00 - 12:27 PM Praise said "How do you defrag an entire mind???" -- I don't know 'bout that . . . after all, they wrote Humpty Dumpty off as a loss, didn't they? (hahahaha) Alright, that's enough! Go and write your songs!! -- Áine |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 35 From: wysiwyg Date: 24 Jul 00 - 12:48 PM "Over and Sons Garage in Aspatria" Nobody has spotted Ass-patria????? Isn't that a special technique for returning foxes back where they came from? Seems to call for a syncopated shuffly little thing, "Aspatriate the Fox" Or of course a foxtrot. Over and Out at Over and Sons. Not nearly enough dancing around this damn place. Think of the improved community relations if we would just dance each other around once in awhile. ~S~ |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 35 From: Amergin Date: 24 Jul 00 - 01:10 PM Praise, the reason why no one else spotted Ass-patria was because no one else has such a dirty mind.....;-) |

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 35 From: wysiwyg Date: 24 Jul 00 - 03:37 PM Guest, I am sure that Aine meant that she was starting off the rush to come up to the quality level you set. The cavalcade of choruses. The madcap Mudcat musical mayhem in response. The starting off of the fresh start on getting started. Right A? ~S~ |

Now, may I offer a suggestion (to further your Mudcat honor and fame)?? You've only got five references to past Challenge!s to go, and you'll be the second Challenge!r in Song Challenge! history to qualify for the Golden Cow Chip with The Imperial Order of the All-In-One Genius with Platinum Tufts Award . . . would it be worth a wee bit of revision to become famous??? We can't have Bradypus being the only genius on board now, can we? Go for it, Dharmabum!! -- Áine |

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 35 From: Mbo Date: 25 Jul 00 - 01:34 PM Aha, fellow Sawzall enthusiasts! I'm pretty much the sole operator of the one my Dad has. When something needs to be Sawzall-ed my Dad says "Go get Matt, it's Sawzall time". And my eyes light up like a little kid on Christmas morning....Aine when are we gonna have a Song Challenge! about Sawzalls? --Matt |

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 35 From: wysiwyg Date: 25 Jul 00 - 03:26 PM That was the only thing I could find that looked like there might be a story hiding in it. Unless you want the Sawzall Snowboard Team. They're out there too. There was also one product review that said a sawzall in use always indicates someone's mistake being corrected, but there were no details. I suppose you could make that the challenge, what was the mistake and how did the sawzall undo it. (Say, does Aine really check out the stories we give her for challenges? Or can we make up and file our own stories and she will run with them? I mean, Aspatria???? Now Purgatory Correctional in Hurricane was real, I checked that one, but...) I need to know! ~S~

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 35 From: Áine Date: 25 Jul 00 - 03:56 PM and a melodious voice spoke from on high . . . Of course the Keeper of the Book checks out the Challenge! ideas sent to her -- do you think she fell off the Bacchus wagon yesterday?? As regarding the sawzall -- Unfortunately, the Keeper does not see the humor and/or drama needed for a good Challenge! is this particular renovation narration. However, She would be interested if an appropriate article mentioning the aforementioned power tool could be found. So there's a challenge for all you sawzall fans -- go find a great story! and the melodious voice spoke under Her breath, "Anything to avoid the Challenge! they're supposed to be working on! Geez!" |

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 35 From: wysiwyg Date: 26 Jul 00 - 04:47 PM Aine, FWIW-- I think this should be re-issued as a new special Challenge! to newer members. My theory is that the rest of us are just desensitized to the whole ass-blowing thing from our exposure to the world of Cleigh O-Possum. This calls for Newbie energy. Maybe they are especially shy about doing these Song Challenge!s and need a prod as ONLY YOU can give. Like retitling the thread to grab their attention.... SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY FOR NEW MEMBERS... maybe explain what is a song challenge... I know, we should all know this by now but.... ~S~ |

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 35 From: sophocleese Date: 26 Jul 00 - 04:59 PM As one who posted the idea for the thread I should just make a brief comment. I was fortunate in not having any beverages near the keyboard when I read your song Dharmabum. Thank you. |

I filled the fox at 20 psi
Fox bits went aflying

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 35 From: Mbo Date: 27 Jul 00 - 09:31 AM Yes, Mudcat Heaven! Guess I just needed the right inpsiration ;-) The Taxidermy Fox Boom Polka Oh how I want to be a Taxidermist 'Cause stuffing dead mammals is my bag I like to work with the scalpel and the fluff Even though formaldehyde will make me gag Oh one day I found some tasty roadkill A fox that was perfect for to stuff But I had to get the pelt off the rotting carcass Without ripping it, I tried not to be rough But the stupid pelt would not come off Though I tried with all my might and main I was about to give up on the smelly little bugger When a light blub flashed on in my brain So I loaded the fox in my car And to the Garage down the lane I flew And there, it was! The big compressed air tank Which would see my endeavour through! So I fed the air line up the bunghole of the fox And 20p in the slot I did drop But the carcass oh so smelling, just kept on a-swelling And I couldn't get the thing to stop! And then And then And gentlemen, and then... Like a hot-air balloon on a cactus farm Like your fist on the clock when it rings it's alarm Like a pressure-cooker that too long has sat BOOM it was over just like that! Like a pretty girl with a wink of her eye Like fireworks shooting up in the sky Like a woopie-cushion on which someone has sat BOOM it was over just like that! Like a bratty kid who won't behave Like a hotdog in a microwave Like a cheese-laden trap and a big grey rat BOOM it was over just like that!

Like a pretty girl with a wink of her eye And I just love the title too. Great job and well worth waiting for. ;-) -- Áine |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 35 From: MMario Date: 27 Jul 00 - 09:37 AM Áine - so far nothing but brain farts...the pudding won't set, the fruit of my words is all settling right to the bottom of the jello of my mind. Little dribs and drabs of stuff that are driving me nuttier but nothing solid. |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 35 From: Áine Date: 27 Jul 00 - 10:26 AM Dear MMario, Well, if you get enough of those dribs and drabs together, you can cover a cake with icing, you know. ;-) Put 'em in a bowl and let 'em sit in the 'frig for a while until they congeal -- oh, and don't forget to throw in a few nuts and candy sprinkles while you're at it (hehehehehe). -- Áine |

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 35 From: MMario Date: 27 Jul 00 - 05:20 PM I posted a "quick" little Harry Fox gets blowed up ditty type thingie and it gets losted! Now I has to remembers it...to the tune of "Jesus Christ is Risen Today" |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 35 From: Amergin Date: 27 Jul 00 - 05:20 PM That you're song? The whole thing deserves a big silver BLOB as far as I'm concerned...;) |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 35 From: Amergin Date: 27 Jul 00 - 05:22 PM Was talking about "OH KRAP!" kinda brings to mind Tom Paxton's Lament For A Lost Election. |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 35 From: MMario Date: 27 Jul 00 - 05:25 PM no - just my bungling fingers.... though considering the subject, it probably would be appropriate lyrics.... I really wish I knew who had my brain cell.... |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 35 From: Áine Date: 27 Jul 00 - 06:06 PM Dearest MMario, Since this kind of thing keeps happening to you (apparently as the result of chronic CRS), may I make a suggestion? Why don't you type your songs into a word processing program first and THEN copy and paste them into the thread? I hate to think of you beating your poor head against your monitor (which has become sticky from the constant spit takes after reading Bradypus' and Dharmabum's songs...). Love ya, Áine |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 35 From: wysiwyg Date: 27 Jul 00 - 07:21 PM Yes, permitting the S&R function for line breaks. Mmario. I believe I have diagnosed the problem. Clearly an unmet need to plumb the depths of the jello pit. Just listen to yourself. Jello. Need Jello. ~S~ |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 35 From: Naemanson Date: 27 Jul 00 - 08:21 PM Ok! I'll give this a try. I should be doing other things but...
Honey, I blew up the fox!
|
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 35 From: MMario Date: 27 Jul 00 - 08:57 PM *applause* I hate to admit this, but I crashed my 'puter and LOST the word processing document, not having saved it. I'll probably be drummed out of the computer support group |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 35 From: Mbo Date: 27 Jul 00 - 08:59 PM Oooh gory one, Brett! Love it! |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 35 From: GUEST,Potter Date: 27 Jul 00 - 09:36 PM Well...the last thing I remember saying to him was; "Honey you know I love you but, PLEASE, not while the DOG IS WATCHING!" Has anyone seen my husband?...or my Shiba Inu? |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 35 From: Áine Date: 27 Jul 00 - 09:56 PM And to think that I was tempted to nip this Challenge! in the bud early (so to speak) -- Naemanson, ROTFLMAO!! The tears are virtually spurting outta my eyes -- this time it was myself that nearly did the infamous MMario Spit Take! I can't decide on a single verse for the Silver B.L.O.B., so I award your entire song this (dubious, yet wondrous) award. Congratulations and well done indeed! -- Áine |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 35 From: Naemanson Date: 28 Jul 00 - 08:39 AM Thank You! (Blushing, he bows to the applause) Thank You! By the way, what does ROTFLMAO mean? (I assume it's good) There are a few other things I've seen here such as "slainte" that I don't understand. Maybe this should be a thread. |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 35 From: Áine Date: 28 Jul 00 - 08:59 AM Dear Naemanson, ROTFLMAO - Rolling on the floor, laughing my a** off Sláinte - Literally, the Irish word for 'health', most often used as a toast, approximating the English toast of 'cheers'. -- Áine |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 35 From: MMario Date: 28 Jul 00 - 09:13 AM Rolling On The Floor Laughing My Arse Off and "health!" (I think....) |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 35 From: Áine Date: 28 Jul 00 - 10:37 AM Cudos, congrats and thanks to all you lovely Challenge!rs once again, and here are the winners for this explosive topic (hehehehe). You all continue to amaze and delight the Keeper of the Book!! I think I'll be waiting a few days to announce a new Challenge!, since you all seem to be exhausted from your excellent efforts during the last couple of weeks. So, give your brain fluids a rest, but, everyone keep your eyes peeled for Challenge! ideas and send them to me by PM or by email (doireanne@yahoo.com). -- Áine

Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 35 From: Aidan Crossey Date: 04 Sep 01 - 08:38 AM This is a wee bit of a diversion ... the song is to the air of "Reynard" from Sweeney's Men's first album. It's set in the area surrounding Derrymacash in the hinterland of Lurgan, County Armagh.
THE MONTIAGHS FOX HUNT |
Subject: RE: SONG CHALLENGE! Part 35 From: MMario Date: 04 Sep 01 - 08:58 AM Derrymacash - BRAVO! I especially like the fact that without the last verse it is a song I could use at ren-faire... |
