  1. Sung to the tune of: "If You're Happy And You Know It Clap Your Hands" If we cannot find Osama, bomb Iraq. If the markets hurt your Mama, bomb Iraq. If the terrorists are Saudi And the bank takes back your Audi And the TV shows are bawdy, Bomb Iraq. If the corporate scandals growin', bomb Iraq. And your ties to them are showin', bomb Iraq. If the smoking gun ain't smokin' We don't care, and we're not jokin'. That Saddam will soon be croakin', Bomb Iraq. Even if we have no allies, bomb Iraq. From the sand dunes to the valleys, bomb Iraq. So to hell with the inspections; Let's look tough for the elections, Close your mind and take directions, Bomb Iraq. While the globe is slowly warming, bomb Iraq. Yay! the clouds of war are storming, bomb Iraq. If the ozone hole is growing, Some things we prefer not knowing. (Though our ignorance is showing), Bomb Iraq. So here's one for dear old daddy, bomb Iraq, From his favorite little laddy, bomb Iraq. Saying no would look like treason. It's the Hussein hunting season. Even if we have no reason, Bomb Iraq. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  2. Also, did anyone see that Cats and Dogs movie a few years ago? The dog was supposed to be a boy beagle, but when "he" rolled on his back to let his owner scratch his belly, he was noticably lacking in genitalia. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  3. I suppose that will make me PGSSWWFAPGTS#1 (Poor Graduate Student Skydiver Whose Whole Financial Aid Package Goes Toward Skydiving) A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  4. Well, did he come? One thing I never understood about the story. If nobody mentioned the phenomenon to anyone, how did Brodie hear of it? A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  5. Hmmm.... So three different people asked me to post my essay here so they could read it before making a decision as to whether the comment was inappropriate and after having scanned and posted my essay, none of them (or anyone else) had anything to say...

  6. Yes, the subtitle for Mostly Harmless was "Book Five in the Increasingly Misnamed Hitchhiker Trilogy." A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  7. Bummer...the Atmospheres program was preempted because of some severe storm in the northeast or something. Pretty thoughtless of them to have a storm when there's a TV show I want to watch, if you ask me. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  8. Rose, Yup, Michigan is really starting to suck, isn't it? I'm about to lapse in 4 days, and I'm not sure if there's anything I can do about that... A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  9. This is what gets me. Now, I have not read the Tanya Grotter books, but unless the story lines are exact parallels to the Harry Potter ones (with nothing but the trimmings changed - a wizard's gem instead of a sorcerer's stone, for example), a charge of plagiarism is utterly ridiculous. What that charge suggests is that J.K. Rowling was the first person ever to write a story about witches and wizards and boarding schools and therefore has exclusive rights to any such story line. That's nonsense. There is not a single work of art that has ever been produced that was not influenced in some way by the artwork that came before it. What would happen if some rock and roll band threatened to sue another group because the second group also uses electric guitars and writes songs with boy-meets-girl storylines? A Letterman Top-Ten list, that's what. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  10. How do you get two violists to play in tune? Shoot one of them. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  11. What's the difference between a viola player and a seamstress? The seamstress tucks up the frills What's the difference between a french horn player and a seamstress? The seamstress says "Tuck the frills." What's the difference between a soprano and a seamstress? The seamstress tucks and frills. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  12. Well, depending on the scale of the blueprint, you may be able to sleep with anyone anywhere other than in her bed! A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All

  14. I think that what constitutes cheating is a very relationship-specific thing. Every couple sets their own parameters for acceptable and unacceptable behavior (either explicitly or implicitly). Therefore, if a couple (and such couples do exist) has no problem with one partner kissing other people, then that would not constitute cheating. If a couple decides that even a neckrub is considered cheating, then it is. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  15. Actually, given the difference between how they all function, instruments with keyboards tend to be referred to in music scholarship as (get ready for this...) "keyboard instruments." This is because classifying them by their method of sound production (for example, that pianos are percussion instruments, clavichords and harpsichords are string instruments, organs are wind instruments, etc.) negates their most obvious similarity: that they are played by fingers (or, I suppose, feet too) on a keyboard. Thus, a pianist could play on an organ or a harpsichord, whereas one would not immediately expect a wind player to be able to play a string instrument. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  16. I think he meant "if you can't lube the one u want." So I would recommend going to the drugstore and picking up some KY Jelly. Whatever you do, though, stay away from Crisco! A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  17. That reminds me. Why did they start making Sam Adams Light? I was so disappointed when I saw that. I used to like Sam Adams, too... A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  18. heh heh...how about this one? How do you get a trombone to sound like a french horn? Stick your hand in the bell and miss every other note. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  19. I play the piano and the pipe organ. Now THAT's fun! Hmm... that reminds me of a joke: What's better than a rose on your piano? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Tulips on your organ! A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  20. As promised, here is the essay. The question was: Aside from the comments within the draft, the only thing he said was: A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All Page2.pdf Page1.pdf Page3.pdf
  21. I wrote a paper on the influence of Igor Stravinsky on the music of Frank Zappa for an undergraduate musicology class. Now that was a fun paper to give. I especially liked being able to use the phrase "titties and beer" in a scholarly setting! A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  22. Dude, don't shit yourself. Look through the above responses and you'll see this: I'll try to get to the scanner later and post the essay. I haven't scanned it yet, and am not likely to do so today, as I have chosen a career that does not allow me the luxury of doing nothing but surfing dz.com all day.
