Thankies for the Paul Collins, C2W?. Partied hard with those guys several times back in the day. Good times, great band, fond memories!

"O Oysters," said the Carpenter,
"You've had a pleasant run!
Shall we be trotting home again?'
But answer came there none--
And this was scarcely odd, because
They'd eaten every one.

OMG. How could I have missed this for my repertoire?
I think my grandma might have played it in my presence
when I was little, and I hope I walked outta the room.

Thanks, barracuda, for a good chortle and :lol: !

hey C2W why didn't you just ask for the name of "that song that sounded like a poor man's Elvis Costello?" ...would've known it immediately.


Well, now that you put it that way....Hmm. Oh, wait! I know.

I'd have hated to be an imposition on you. See, in this wacky village where I grew up, they had this saying: "Questions are a burden to others. Answers, --" Oh, fuck. Gotta run.

Sometimes. Now that you put it that way. Again. If you hadn't given examples, I probably would have said: Sort of like "Why is Russia like that, anyway?" Which I now realize is not so much a more representative example as it is a more memorable one.

But it's just not natural to accept that one is as forgettable as one is, I suspect. I'll have to ask myself some searching questions about that one.
