I loved that rock line and could relate well to it. It was like when I was much younger and went out trick or treating with my friends. They'd get the good candy that I liked and all I'd get is the candy I didn't like.

Always be sincere, even if you don't really mean it.

As for my earlier quote, it's been a few years since I've seen It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, but my favorite part, if I'm remembering it correctly, is when he finally gets a cookie, goes to the next house, and comes away saying, "I got a rock, and it crushed my cookie." I can relate to that the most. Finally get a small something to feel good about, then something crushes it.

"The Great Pumpkin" (1966) is burned into my mind like PRAM . The gang (sans Linus in the pumpkin patch with Sally) inspects their brown paper bags of loot.

Pig-pen(?): enthusiastic "I got a cookie"
Lucy: enthusiastic "I got a stick of gum"
Charlie Brown: dead-pan "I got a rock"

It then cuts to the halloween party, where Freida and Lucy ask Charlie Brown to "model"... but that's the TV special. The Great Pumpkin is introduced to the strip in 1959, and the WWI Flying Ace scenes in the TV special are printed in the early 1960s. Unfortunately the two volumes of the "Complete Peanuts" only go as far as 1954 (and I'm not opening the plastic wrapping on them until I find a good dust-free place for the entire compendium). And since Linus is born in 1954, I really have no way of pegging down the exact quote. :-(

I'm checking against "Peanuts: A Golden Celebration" (ISBN 0-06-076660-3), and I think that the strip in question might have been printed between 1954-X-25 and 1954-XI-01.

Since it's still so slow, more karaoke...

Gonna tell you a story you won't believe,
But I fell in love last friday eve,
With a girl I saw on a bar room TV screen.
Well I had just got up to get my hat,
When she caught my eye, and I put it back,
And I ordered myself a couple of more shots and beers.

The night that I fell in love with a roller derby queen
Round and round, oh round and round.
Meanest hunk o' woman that anybody ever seen
Down at the arena.

Well she was five-foot six, two-fifteen,
Bleach blonde bomber with a streak of mean.
She knew how to hustle and she knew how to knuckle and fight.
And the roller derby TV said,
She was built like a 'fridgerator with a head.
All her fans call her "Tuffy", but all her buddies call her "Spike."

You know that I fell in love with a roller derby queen
Round and round, oh round and round.
Meanest hunk o' woman that anybody ever seen
Down at the arena.

Well I could not help but fall in love,
With this heavy-duty woman I've been speaking of.
Things were kinda bad 'til the day she skated into my life.
Well she might be nasty, she might be fat,
But I never met a person who would tell her that.
She's my big blonde bomber, my heavy-handed Hackensack mama.

You know that I fell in love with a roller derby queen
Round and round, oh round and round.
Meanest hunk o' woman that anybody ever seen
Down at the arena.

Round and round, oh round and round...

Not surprising. I'd never heard it until I bought it on CD. I hate giving away a mystery (because I'm evil) so I'll just say the singer, who often sang to an accoustic guitar, had a great affinity for singing about the lovelorn and low-born, and died way too early.

The one and only.

Well, I could have posted one of the songs you might have heard before, like Time in a Bottle, Bad Bad Leroy Brown, or Operator (particularly gut-wrenching because a friend of mine went through the situation the song describes with his ex-wife and a mutual close friend of ours). But what would be the fun of that?

One more, for evil's sake.

Many may have heard The Scotsman, sung by many Celtic groups. Many may have heard Ghost Riders in the Sky as well, a very popular western song. However you may not have noticed that the songs' (meter, pace, whatever the music term is) are a near match. So I put them together, usually choosing the version of Ghost Riders in the Sky done by The Outlaws:

Well a Scotsman clad in kilt left a bar one evening fair,
And one could tell by how he walked that he'd drunk more than his share.
He fumbled 'round until he could no longer keep his feet,
Then he stumbled off into the grass...
To sleep beside the street.

Yippee yai yaaaay, Yippee yai yoooh
To sleep be-siiide the street.

Around that time two young and lovely girls just happened by,
And one says to the other with a twinkle in her eye,
"See yon sleeping Scotsman so strong and handsome-built,
I wonder if it's true what they...
Don't wear beneath the kilt."

Yippee yai yaaaay, Yippee yai yoooh
Wear be-neath the kllt.

They crept upon that sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be,
Lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see,
And there behold for them to view beneath his Scottish skirt,
Was nothing more than God had graced...
Him with upon his birth.

Yippee yai yaaaay, Yippee yai yoooh
Graced upon his birth.

They marveled for a moment then one said "We must be gone,
Let's leave a present for our friend before we move along."
As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon tied into a bow,
Around the bonnie star...
The Scot's kilt did lift and show.

Yippee yai yaaaay, Yippee yai yoooh
Kilt did liiift and show.

Well the Scotsman woke to nature's call and stumbled towards the trees.
Behind a bush he lifts his kilt and gawks at what he sees,
And in a startled voice he says to what's before his eyes,
"Oh lad I don't know where ya been...
But I see ya won first prize."

Yippee yai yaaaay, Yippee yai yoooh
Lad ya won first priiiize.

[EDIT] For those of you who don't know the songs, count yourself lucky. [/EDIT]

(Did you know that if you try real hard you can also use the music from Stairway to Heaven with the lyrics for Gilligan's Island?)

I am thinking I'd do some classic country if that is sung again..

I'd rather speak my mind because it hurts too much to bite my tongue.

I assume you're talking about Voltaire, not Voltaire.

Damn straight!
