Mo verses please, as in the tradition of spirituals. Who dat man his face all red? Must be de one de bullshit said. Why he look so mad today? Mus be de bullshit some Catter have say. Who dat girl her spelling bad, Must be too much of de bullshit had. Type so fast she spill her min' Down in de bullshit lookin' to fin'. Who dat Guest I see again? Nonnamus flamer, or nonnamus frien'. Dat his post I see las' night? Down in de bullshit, no one right. Have some time, I like to kill, Down to de bullshit, go I will. Time she pass, I don' know, Time get lost when you stuck below. Got some opinions, 'times I rants, Down in de bullshit you get yo chance. Say it easy, say it mean, Down in de bullshit no hands be clean. Now dey say dey's folkies, and po-liti-cal, Gots to argue, shoot de bull. Us likes blues, we got de clue-- Down in de bullshit only music true. ~Susan |

06 May 03 - 02:46 PM (#947118) Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Down in de Bottom Where de BS Dwells From: gnomad Can't do words quickly myself, but on reading the thread title I was sure it would be constructed on Ragtime Cowboy Joe. A generational thing I guess. Anyone fancy a go then we can have endless discussions in 50 years about which is the authentic song (and whether it is folk, of course)? |

Now, I knew that jOhn's knighthood and MBE were probably phony, but it hadn't occurred to me that "he" might actually be fooling us in regard to something as basic as gender! |

I'd be careful about casting nasturtiums about PhD's and such, though, because we BS-ers are all highly edjuckated, that's why we're so good at BS-ing. We done lerned how to do it. Helen |
