Hey Iggy,

What prompted you to quote that lyric?

Just wondering.....

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.

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....."

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.

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"

Her finely-touched spirit had still its fine issues, though they were not widely visible. Her full nature, like that river of which Cyrus broke the strength, spent itself in channels which had no great name on the earth. But the effect of her being on those around her was incalculably diffusive: for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.

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.

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.

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

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

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

Gee. Just when I thought things were chillin' for a while.

And on top of everything else now my weather station is running a car commercial where a bunch of civilians are going nuts with "so long, farewell." Close the doors! They're coming in the windows!
