What prompted you to quote that lyric?

Just wondering.....

Cheers,

Post by: Razorbill on January 06, 2007, 11:04:28 am: Nothing personal Iggy but The Sound of Music makes my flesh crawl. Sorry, I'm a bad fag whose fag card may need revoking - but that musical is of a saccharine awfulness that is hard to quantify.

Post by: Andy Velez on January 06, 2007, 11:08:32 am: Razor, there is no denying that anyone with diabetes might have to approach THE SOUND OF MUSIC with caution. The Mary Martin cast recording is particularly insipid.

Having said that, Iggy's quoting of the lyrics made me want to put on a recording of the show.

Now I'm off to the shower humming ".....how do you solve a problem a problem like Maria," and yes, I know you're getting the creepy crawlies, Razor.

Iggy, I need some support here. ..."da de dum....waves upon the sand....."

Post by: Boo Radley on January 06, 2007, 01:04:32 pm: After all these years I amazed myself by remembering this was a Sound of Muzak ditty. Now I'll be singing "doe, a dear, a female dear..." all frigging night. Thanks a lot, Iggy.

Boo,
who also trusts the song isn't an indicator of your AIDSmeds status!

Post by: thunter34 on January 06, 2007, 01:09:49 pm: So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye!

Sorry...just singing the cute little song.

If there's a deeper meaning here, I must just be missing it!

"I am sixteen, going on seventeen....."

Andy, the one I can't get out of my head is the one they sing at the puppet show, "Two little sheeps and a lonely goat herd, lady-odlady-odlady-hoo....."

Is that what this is supposed to be like?

Cause, you know... I'd hate to miss out.

Post by: lydgate on January 06, 2007, 09:15:04 pm: Love the movie. Saw it on TV for the zillionth time as well. (The other movie playing was It's A Wonderful Life -- now that movie makes me want to hurl.) Sorry Ernie.

The most saccharine moment/song: "Cause somewhere in my youth or childhood, I must have done something good. Nothing comes from nothing... etc"
Title: Re: There's a sad sort of clanging from the clock in the hall
Post by: StrongGuy on January 06, 2007, 09:35:28 pm: There's some car commercial that has been running incessantly (in the city at least, not sure nationally) for the past few weeks using that song that has been driving me batshit crazy. Probably why Iggy has it on the mind.

Mt friend just bought the Sound of Music Gold Collection (God help us that something that sinister even exists) and I promised to watch the whole friggin' thing next week. Maybe I'll try to sneak my Ipod on to blur out the DO RE MI crap.

Andy,

An assurance and an apology:

The assurance being that this was not a good -bye post but simply a syrupy-fructose explosive goodnight given to many who indeed proved themselves to be the proverbial flies.

Call me crazy, but this sounds like a passive-aggressive insult.

Ya know...odd you should say that. I almost got the feeling I might be getting insulted when he said how easy it was to picture me amid the filth of a video booth floor.

Then I thought better of it. Surely our sweet little Iggy rawks entirely too much for such desperate jabs.

OMG. Like totally.

And, you know... and I could just be talkin' out my butt here... but I saw that, too! If I didn't know any better, I'd think that the previous posts in here (and others... let me pull one out of the ether here.

I'm starting to think we're both being made fun of. To what nefarious end, I can't be completely sure... but I'm starting to feel like I'm in a sorority house scandal. And I don't even know what we did!

Exactly. Best to leave it alone, I suppose. Would hate for the flies to get together and breed, and then there's maggots everywhere.

And that's no fun.

I'd ask for some warning in advance next time but I guess that would defeat the purpose of the little prank.

"Doe, a female deer...." Oh jeeezus, they're back again.

Make that two doubles, bartender. No, whoever's with me can get their own.

You're welcome Andy...and I would post some more, but it seems a few people here have no sense of humor...mayhaps they need to find a life outside of this site once in a while then they wouldn't need to make so many posts wondering if everything is always about them ;D

Ya mean kinda like this? (From your post in the 'Miserable People' thread):

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

GSO

I find the word miserable an interesting choice to use, one which you have done several times in your original post so I assume you very much meant that.

I'm curious, and I do ask this question bluntly, am I one that you consider to be miserable? If so, I would like an example of a post I made that gave you such insight into my state of being.

If you do not have me in mind, I still request an example of what you mean by a post illustrating that a person is miserable.

I'll save my reply until you are kind enough to respond

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

;D ;D ;D ;D

Post by: allopathicholistic on January 08, 2007, 03:18:18 pm: Iggy, what about owning up to the genesis of this mess which was your omg, rawks, etc over & over... I dind't even know about the baby pictures thread. I smiled thinking you were getting friendlier and finding your funny bone. I assumed you were drinking 'n' posting because you were posting & posting & posting

It takes 10 seconds and a little humility to say "Oh sorry, my bad" then the other parties can accept the apology or not. Instead you type tons of extra xy&z snide stuff and it just confounds things even further. Try to remember when you were new to this site and unsure of who to trust, etc and how you found sssooo many things irksome about this site. Your closing 'thank you' to "Mystery Person X" is not very different from the immature stuff that irked you back when you were new so come on
