YOU'RE STILL GONNA DIE

So you're takin' better care of your body
Becoming more aware of your body.
Responding to your body's needs.
Everything you hear and read about diets,
Nutrition and sleeping position and detoxifying your system,
And buying machines that they advertise to help you exercise.
Herbs to revitalize you if you're traumatized.
Soaps that will sanitize.
Sprays to deordorize.
Liquid to neutralize acids and pesticides.
Free weights to maximize your strength and muscle size.
Shots that will immunize.
Pills to re-energize you.

But remember that for all your pain and gain
Eventually the story ends the same...
You can quite smokin', but you're still gonna die.
Cut out cokin', but you're still gonna die.
Eliminate everything fatty or fried,
And you get real healthy, but you're still gonna die.
Stop drinkin' booze, you're still gonna die.
Stay away from cooze, you're still gonna die.
You can cut out coffee and never get high,
But you're still gonna, still gonna, still gonna die.

You're still gonna, still gonna, still gonna die.
Still gonna, still gonna, still gonna die.

You can even give aerobics one more try,
But when the music stops playin', you're still gonna die.
Put seat belts in your car, you're still gonna die.
Cut nicotine tar, you're still gonna die.
You can exercise that cellulite off your thigh.
Get slimmer and trimmer, but you're still gonna die.
Stop gettin' a tan, you're still gonna die.
You can search for UFO's up in the sky
They might fly you to Mars where you're still gonna die.
You're still gonna, still gonna, still gonna die.
Still gonna, still gonna, still gonna die.
And all the Reeboks and Nikes and Adidas you buy
You can jog up to heaven and you're still gonna die.

Drink ginseng tonics, you're still gonna die.
Try high colonics, you're still gonna die.
You can have yourself frozen and suspended in time,
But when they do thaw you out, you're still gonna die.
You can have safe sex, you're still gonna die.
You can switch to Crest, you're still gonna die.
You can get rid of stress, get a lot of rest,
Get an AIDS test, enroll in EST,
Move out west where it's sunny and dry
And you'll live to be a hundred
But you're still gonna die.

You're still gonna, still gonna, still gonna die.
Still gonna, still gonna, still gonna die.
So you'd better have some fun
'Fore you say bye-bye,
'Cause you're still gonna, still gonna, still gonna die.

Please disregard if dark humor isn't your thing. Heard this song performed last weekend. Hope this helps.

I'm just surprised that Shel Silverstein is still alive. I figured he died from some venereal disease long ago.

[Publius]

Shel died in 1999.

[The_Media_never_lie]

Yes, according to WIKI. Sorry if the post was misleading....

[PGalt]

Good post (never seen it before). Thanks. Enjoy life : )

[Vendome]

Really?

See my tagline...

[The_Media_never_lie]

Yes, have fun and live long!

[Idaho_Cowboy]

LOL! I saw the news this afternoon and thought: It's only a matter of time now. Then I thought about it and shrugged: it was only a matter of time anyways. I just hope to go out with my boots on.

Like my grandma used to say: It ain't the dying, it's the gettin’ there.

[The_Media_never_lie]

Yes, and if we listen to the media, they will have us so worried about the inconsequential stuff. Hope hype isn’t fatal.

Why does the CDC own a patent on Ebola ‘invention?’

Ping…

A link to this thread has been posted on the Ebola Surveillance Thread

Gallows humour.

Ashes, ashes, and we all fall down...

[OrangeHoof]

Reminds of this bouncy tune from 1980s gay crooner Joe Jackson:

Chorus:
Everything. Everything gives you cancer.
Everything. Everything gives you cancer.
There's no cure. There's no answer.
Everything gives you cancer.

Don't touch that dial. Don't try to smile.
Just take this pill. It's in your file.
Don't work hard. Don't play hard.
Just plan for the graveyard. Remember.

Everything. Everything gives you cancer...

Don't work by night. Don't sleep by day.
You'll feel alright. But you will pay.
No caffeine. No protein.
No booze or nicotine. Remember.

Everything. Everything gives you cancer...

[The_Media_never_lie]

Wow, those are so funny lyrics! Guess I need to cut down, lol.

[T-Bone Texan]

Wait: Joe Jackson was a homo?

All my heroes are dead to me!

The game of Ebola Roulette continues...

*click* spin *click* spin *click* spin…BANG!

Eeeee-bolllll-aaaaaa ping!

Bring Out Your Dead

We’re gonna need

a bigger cart!

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

I will kill you all
Not a thing you can do about it
I will kill you all
Not a thing you can do about it
Squirrelly wrath
Squirrelly wrath
Squirrelly wrath
You’re all gonna die
You’re all gonna die
