Unless you have done something to worsen their respective conditions, which is probably unlikely I think. You might show a smidgen of concern for them, however. In the morning when you sober up. If you ever do. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Emrys Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 Originally posted by Seanachai: Actually, I was listening to Hounds of Love.Coincidence, eh? Neat. Can you dig where on "The Big Sky" she gets totally ecstatic? Lot of good songs on that album. Although my first love will always remain The Dreaming... Years ago, I bought a double album of her greatest hits, and I believe there was a song or two from that album. I think there was at least one song from every album she had done up until then, and a picture of her from each one. Looking at those pictures, the thing that struck me was how different she looked in each one. I got to calling her "The woman of a thousand faces". The Sensual World a good song or two on it as well ("Never be Mine" might be one of them), but I think she had pretty well shot her bolt by then.

Boo Radley Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 Ah, good. Emerys is up from his 8th nap of the day. We can all sit back and watch him post several dozen times, replying to every other post in the Pool like the petulant agony aunt he's become. And there must be some kind of grand alignment of the planets occuring, because I was just up in my workroom listening to "Hounds of Love". Could this be yet another sign of the Apocalypso? Gawd, how many signs can there be? Is this the Apocalypso or some kind of suburban yard sale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our man Emrys is after being all Eternal. He gets a certain 'lilt' to his posts when he does, and it pleases me. Originally posted by Boo Radley: And there must be some kind of grand alignment of the planets occuring, because I was just up in my workroom listening to "Hounds of Love". Could this be yet another sign of the Apocalypso?Of course it is. Soon all those who have a role to play in the Apocalypso will be locked into the same soundtrack. The Grand Alignment has begun. Originally posted by Boo Radley: Gawd, how many signs can there be? You do realize that, in the later stages, all of us will not only be posting to the same soundtrack, but living it? And even...gods help us...dancing to it? In the End Days, all the members of the Peng Challenge Thread, as significant primaries in the Apocalypso, will be in the streets, caught up in a hideous cross between a Busby Berkeley musical and The Rocky Horror Picture Show...

Michael If you think that's bad, try watching Narnia with him some time. We shouldn't castigate him too much, though. It's just his nature. He probably is the Witch King, though. Still, he'll be right there with us in the End Days, doing an aria about the 'Joys of Hell', like a good Neo-Con. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm... do I want to nail Susan Sarandon or Ruby Keeler*...? (*As they were back then. Not as they are now, thank you.) And speaking of Kate Bush... the first time I ever saw her was on an episode of Saturday Night Live, hosted by Michael Palin, I believe. She sang two songs from "The Kick Inside" and I thought she was the bee's knees. I played that album so much you could hear both sides at the same time. A bit disconcerting, now that I think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seanachai Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 Here's to that bastard Berli! A good host, a good sort, a hell of a guy, and a guy from Hell. Would The Almighty stand you to a drink and put on a good song? Not him! In Heaven, the off-sales all close at 8 PM, the harps jangle with feverish praise, and any attempt at jollity is drowned under the onslaught of adoring sycophancy.
