Ah, my friends! So light of foot So swift! You've come this far And now, here beneath the ancient, Omniscient boughs of the Decision Tree One of you must depart this world of flesh Only seven may continue Only you can decide! Let it be known I won't be the one to die here Honour and glory are heaped upon my name Let it be clear I'm not the one who cries here What about the tall one? The one who's lost to shame I've followed princes, I've raised their bloody banners I've killed and wounded on the side of right I've reaped the harvest and scattered fields with ashes I've buried children, sowed the seeds of hate I've followed princess (We'll survive) I've followed kings! (We will strike for our freedom) I will take their lead no more (We're alive) I will not lie (We'll survive) In shallow graves (We'll arrive in our Eden) Let it be known, by Thor, the god of lightning I have been chosen to do battle at his side Let it be clear! I was born to go down fighting What about the craven? The one who's lost his pride Don't speak to me of honour, pride and glory I've tasted blood, seen your type before You talk of battle but all you tell are stories You'd see me buried in a shallow grave I've followed princess (We'll survive) I've followed kings! (We will strike for our freedom) I will take their lead no more (We're alive) I will not lie (We'll survive) In shallow graves (We'll arrive in our Eden) I'm nobody's slave We're alive, we'll survive We will strike for our freedom We're alive, we'll survive We'll arrive in our Eden

I know that this shouldn't be A traumatic event, but it is And I feel so bad My little boy looks so happy He throws me his "go mummy" kiss And he loves his dad And I loved him too Maybe I still do But it's over Keep an eye on Dan Promise me you can He gets out of hand if you let him So keep an eye on Dan And don't forget I'll be back on Sunday to get him So keep an eye on Dan Certain that I'm out of sight I pull over and turn off the car And I bang the wheel I can't believe that I've actually Held it together this far Seeing how I feel But I said goodbye And I did not cry Though my heart ached Keep an eye on Dan Promise me you can He gets out of hand if you let him So keep an eye on Dan And don't forget I'll be back at seven on Sunday to get him I, I think he must have lost some weight Funny how it takes me back to our first date So keep an eye on Dan Keep an eye on Dan You're a loving man Make an effort not to upset him Just keep an eye on Dan And don't forget I'll be back on Sunday to get him So keep an eye on Dan

It doesn't matter what I say So long as I sing with inflection That makes you feel I'll convey Some inner truth or vast reflection But I've said nothing so far And I can keep it up for as long as it takes And it don't matter who you are If I'm doing my job, it's your resolve that breaks Because the hook brings you back I ain't tellin' you no lie The hook brings you back On that you can rely There is something amiss I am being insincere In fact I don't mean any of this Still my confession draws you near To confuse the issue I refer To familiar heroes from long ago No matter how much Peter loved her What made the Pan refuse to grow Was that hook brings you back I ain't tellin' you no lie The hook brings you back On that you can rely Suck it in, suck it in, suck it in, if you're Rin Tin Tin or Anne Boleyn Make a desperate move or else you'll win and then begin to see What you're doing to me, this MTV is not for free It's so PC it's killing me, so desperately I sing to thee of love Sure, but also of rage and hate and pain and fear of self And I can't keep these feelings on the shelf I've tried, well, no, in fact I lied Could be financial suicide, but I've got too much pride inside To hide or slide, I'll do as I'll decide and let it ride until I've died And only then shall I abide this tide Of catchy little tunes of hip three minute ditties I wanna bust all your balloons I wanna burn all your cities to the ground I've found I will not mess around unless I play then hey I will go on all day, hear what I say I have a prayer to pray that's really all this was And when I'm feeling stuck and need a buck I don't rely on luck because The hook brings you back I ain't tellin' you no lie The hook On that you can rely

It took six years, but I'm glad to see Todd Helton get in. He was a great player for a long time. The funny thing is that now this picture of quarterbacks at Tennessee now includes two Hall of Famers: (Helton, you may recall, helped recruit Manning to join the Broncos all those years ago.)

Inmates running the asylum. That used to be unusual. This is amazing. Sure, the game is different now, but it's almost impossible to imagine any modern athlete in any sport with that kind of durability.

It's only a couple of weeks until pitchers and catchers report, so I'm starting a new baseball thread for 2024. In our first story of the new year: 2024 Baseball Hall of Fame voting results: Adrián Beltré leads class alongside Joe Mauer and Todd Helton Helton becomes only the second Hall of Fame with the Rockies cap, following Larry Walker. It took him six years to reach the 75% threshold.

Deer had it coming. Deer knows what it did.

His team was 30-13, tied for the second best record in the league. Now he's gone. What am I missing here? Bucks fire coach Adrian Griffin after 43 games, reportedly eyeing Doc Rivers as potential replacement

My 14 year old daughter, when given a choice between watching Frozen or football on TV tonight, chose football. For clarification: gridiron, not association.

I appreciate the offer. The content isn't the problem so much as all the administrative details.

If you hear something that sounds like splashing, or someone drowning in deep water, coming from my classroom, it's just me trying to work out my Concurrent Enrollment Astronomy curriculum.

"Let me ask you something. If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? If he prayed for courage, does God give him courage, or does he give him opportunities to be courageous? If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings, or does he give them opportunities to love each other?"
