Re: A Thread for Random Musings

 

Hope no one takes offense at this, but some recent incidences of autocensoring have made me curious....

 

As we have clearly seen, you can't have a Doo *** band, but you can have a doowop one.

 

And you can have a cocked revolver, but you can't **** one...

 

I assume you can slip someone a mickey, but can I call myself a mick?

 

EDIT: OK, its confirmed....

The autocensors will allow Irish racial slurs but not Italian ones

I'm training a newguy .. his wife works in a different part of the building. Yesterday we all ended up in the main hallway at once...

He say "This is my trainer."

I say "Hi." And proceed to turn back to the vending machine where I quietly lament the lack of regular m&m's and choose another item.

 

Today he comes in and says his wife called me "Perfectly strange."

 

...15 seconds in a hallway. I guess I am strange.

I have no idea where this came from, but I just wrote this tonight. It'll have to be sung by a woman to get it right, if there's anything to it. If I knew music I'd give you tabulature, but I barely know what I played, much less what the actual notes are. Anyway, it might suck, but right now I'm kinda keyin' in on it, if you know what I mean.

I miss the way were when we were young together

You and I were so naïve, such a simpler time

You had one thing on your mind

And it’s me

And it’s me

 

[chorus]

I’m alone no more

I feel you standing here

I’m alone no more

I can’t believe you’re gone

And I’m alone no more

 

I hate the way I am now that I am older

It makes me feel the things I don’t know what to do with

Mama always said I’d be lonely

And I don’t want to be alone no more

 

[chorus]

 

[instrumental]

 

Waiting for the train, an empty guitar case beside me

Because I pawned it for the fare

If you think you’re lonely you should see my guitar case

Because I left it there

 

[chorus]

[scat outro?]

The girlfriend is lookin' for a new house to rent. I'm gettin' tired of having to answer the question "any plans for you two to move in together?", or some variation thereof. Yes, we've been together 4 years. No, we're not planning to live together any time soon. No, we're not planning on getting married any time soon. Yes, we've talked about it, but only in the "we're not ruling it out but we'll bring it up again next year" kinda way.

 

Why is it so hard for two people to have a good relationship and not follow the prepackaged societal plan for cohabitation and marriage? Jeez...

So, I bought an external harddrive yesterday. I was importing a new CD of music and I got the 'Disk Full' Message. I thought. I got a lot of music and a lot of pictures.

Now I'll have them on their own hard drive and maybe my computer will behave a little better.

Managed to see the film SWAT over the weekend. Standard Hollywood fare but with a lot of love for the source material.

And interesting to see Colin Farrell feel bad in the end fight that he kills the bad guy who is an old friend. Not many cops get killed in the film. More die in Rush Hour.

So I say, not a bad movie. Now onto Collateral.

:nonp: I know all these songs and it sounds interesting but still...pretty weird...and I'm sure Bill O'Reilly sees it as part of the War on Easter...

 

The BBC, meanwhile, has announced plans to celebrate Easter with a televised

procession through the streets of Manchester, England, using "popular

music from the cream of Manchester bands" in "a contemporary retelling

of the last few hours of Jesus' life." Highlights, according

to the

Guardian, will include Jesus singing "the legendary Joy Division

anthem 'Love Will Tear Us Apart'" before "dueting" with "his

arch-betrayer Judas on the New Order hit 'Blue Monday.'" Mary

Magdalene will then "sing the Buzzcocks hit 'Ever Fallen in Love (With

Someone You Shouldn't Have)' accompanied by a string band" while "the

climax of the event sees Jesus sing the Smiths' classic song 'Heaven

Knows I'm Miserable Now' as he is being flayed by Roman soldiers. He

will then come face to face with his Roman prosecutor Pontius Pilate

with the two of them singing a duet of the Oasis hit 'Wonderwall.'"

"I had this idea for a new game show. It's called The Old Game. This is where you put three old guys up on stage with loaded revolvers. And they sit down and they start talking about the dreams they had, and what they wanted to achieve in life, and whether or not they ended up accomplishing anything.

"The winner is the one who doesn't blow his brains out.

"He gets a refrigerator."

Re: A Thread for Random Musings

 

So my assistant manager who used to do what I do, we went to a combined branch and I was raised to "operations supervisor" she used to do most of the operations stuff. So it's been over a year now and apparently she's come to the conclusion that I am not needed, the branches split appart in June and a new manager was brought in. Lately, the manager has been asking the assistant what it is she does all day, not having the operations stuff to do, since I do it now, she hasn't got much to say. And so the manager has pretty much told her that as it stands she has little to no responsiblities and yet she doesn't get the few that she has done, nor does she bring in new business. It could get ugly around here real soon.

I want to have editorial control over a comic book with teen heroes in it. I want a cover picture of some teenager with her hair partially wrapped while she sits in a chair with hands reaching out towards her. Some carrying strange tubles or liquids.

 

Speech Balloon from her? "I don't know about this..."

Caption above? "In this issue, a hero dyes!"

 

:)
