Good News!
I got my BOOTS on today!

Now if it would only stop with the Monsoons, I might go for a little ride.

It’s been over three weeks since I sprained my ankle.

This week my Jukebox theme was inspired by our own Canteen FReeper spel_grammer_an_punct_polise. Being a Grammar-tard myself, it's not my intention to throw stones, but after years of Jukebox themes, I'm always on the lookout for inspiration. Grammatically Incorrect lyrics is actually a pretty good one. Besides a plethora of fine music we get to review those middle school grammar rules from Strunk and White's Elements of Style. Because there are so many rules of grammar I've limited my examples to 20 infractions:

1. Double Negatives: (We don't need no Grammar Nazis).

2. Split Infinitives: (Writers should learn to not split infinitives).

3. Dangling Participles: (After toiling in the music archive for weeks, I've brought up some incorrect grammar).

4. Sentence Fragments: (This one for example).

5. Redundant Reduntacies: (You've got to give me a break, the reason is because I'm a grammer-tard).

6. Run-on Sentences: (The song "Money For Nothing" is full of run-on sentences, Sentence Fragments are rampant).

7. Subject-Verb Agreement: (The songs in that category is questionable).

8. Incorrect Parallel Structure: (Some songs contain bad grammar, a misunderstanding of Parallel Structure, and don't work).

9. Subject/Predicate disagreement: (Clearly, this person didn’t know what they were doing).

10. Place-referent connectors need an antecedent of place in the independent clause (I'm a FReeper where I can post what I want).

11. Possessive Pronouns: ("Its" is often confused with the contraction "it's").

12. Past Participle form of the Verb: (This happens less times than not).

13. "Was" vs. "Were" Disparity (subjunctive mood): If I was smarter, I’d have lots more examples of bad grammar).

14. The "try and"/"try to" Disparity: (Try and stop me).

15. Made up words (Neil Diamond brung this to my attention).

16. The "You and me" vs. "You and I" Disparity (The simple rule here is to take out the “you and” and see if the sentence makes sense. So while Bryan Adams sings, "if she ever found out about you and I", it sounds okay, but it's not).

17. The "Her" vs. "She" Disparity (This rule is a bit more complicated, but suffice to say that when the Beatles sing, "I must be sure ... that you love me more than her," it should be, "That you love me more than she").

18. The "Lay" vs. "Lie" Disparity (This is a favorite peeve and catches two great songwriters, both Eric Clapton and 60's poet laurite Bob Dylan. Both Sally and Lady should "Lie".

19. The "Have/Have to" vs. "Got/Got To" Disparity (So common that there's got to be dozens of examples).

And finally in my Top 20, and by far the most common in popular music, the misuse of the contraction "Ain't". Merriam-Webster defines "Ain't" as a contraction of "am not". In common usage it has come to include "do not" (don't), "does not" (doesn't) and "did not" (didn't) even though each of these have their own commonly used contractions. Nonstandard definitions include: "is not" (isn't replacing the archaic i'n't), "have not" (haven't), "has not" (hasn't replacing "ha'n't") and "are not" (aren't). "Ain't" is considered a vulgarism of ignorant, informal speech and has received a barrage of criticism since the 19th century for having no set sequence of words from which it can be contracted. Used as a substitute for the formal "am I not?" or for "aren't I?" (considered by some to be ungrammatical in itself) or for the awkward "amn't I?", which is technically correct but completely unacceptable. But, despite all the attempts to ban it, "ain't" continues to enjoy extensive use in speech as well as popular music. "Ain't", even when used correctly, is a common precipitator of double negatives (Ain't no way I can ignore that).

So, sit back, crank it up and enjoy a completely Grammatically Incorrect Jukebox.



I open with a real favorite of mine which reached the number three position in the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in 1965.

However, when Frankie Valli sings the opening line, "There ain't no good in our goodbye-ing." he commits grammar suicide. First of all, "ain't" is nonstandard and "ain't no" is a double negative. It should be "There IS no good." Second of all, "goodbye" is an interjection and can also be a noun, usually in the plural, but it is not a verb. It should be "There is no good in our saying goodbye," goodbye-ing is not a word.

A PRAYER OF PROTECTION

The light of God surround you
The love of God enfold you
The power of God protect you
The presence of God watch over you
Wherever you are, God is,
And all is well.
Amen.

BLESS THIS HOUSE

 Bless this house O Lord we pray; Make it safe by night and day; 
Bless these walls so firm and stout, Keeping want and trouble out:
Bless the roof and chimneys tall, Let thy peace lie over all;
Bless this door, that it may prove ever open to joy and love.
Bless these windows shining bright, Letting in God's heav'nly light;
Bless the hearth a'blazing there, with smoke ascending like a prayer;
Bless the folk who dwell within, keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless us all that we may be Fit O Lord to dwell with thee;
Bless us all that one day we May dwell O Lord with thee.

You, Murph & the family doing well?

It’s getting pretty toasty here but today the humidity kicked in a bit which is NOT appreciated! ;-}

[Publius]

So all those years I was trying to get laid, I should have been trying to get lied?

Rock-Solid
June 14, 2014

Read: Psalm 34:15-22

The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry. —Psalm 34:15

Bible in a Year:
Ezra 9-10; Acts 1

It was a sad day in May 2003 when “The Old Man of the Mountain” broke apart and slid down the mountainside. This 40-foot profile of an old man’s face, carved by nature in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, had long been an attraction to tourists, a solid presence for residents, and the official state emblem. It was written about by Nathaniel Hawthorne in his short story The Great Stone Face.

Some nearby residents were devastated when The Old Man fell. One woman said, “I grew up thinking that someone was watching over me. I feel a little less watched-over now.”

There are times when a dependable presence disappears. Something or someone we’ve relied on is gone, and our life is shaken. Maybe it’s the loss of a loved one, or a job, or good health. The loss makes us feel off-balance, unstable. We might even think that God is no longer watching over us.

But “the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry” (Ps. 34:15). He “is near to those who have a broken heart” (v.18). He is the Rock whose presence we can always depend on (Deut. 32:4).

God’s presence is real. He continually watches over us. He is rock-solid.

The Rock of Ages stands secure,
He always will be there;
He watches over all His own
To calm their anxious care. —Keith

The question is not where is God, but where isn’t He?

Insight

Psalm 34 was written during a difficult time for David, as the superscription indicates: “A Psalm of David when he pretended madness before Abimelech [Achish], who drove him away, and he departed.” Recorded in 1 Samuel 21:1-15, those dark days were not David’s best as a person of faith. First, he had joined Israel’s enemies, the Philistines, as he fled from Saul. Then, when things in Gath (Philistine country) became threatening, David pretended madness to escape. Fear and deceit may not be characteristics of great faith, but they are normal human responses to danger—reminding us of our great need for God.

Oh Noes! Pub is a temp floor dweller!
Seriously....can you sleep ok?

Camping is no longer fun at this point right? :)

[Publius]

Sleeping on the floor is actually pretty good for my back. It’s the FReeping on the floor that’s uncomfortable. But you’re right that it’s getting old.

[AZamericonnie]

Hiya Workerbee! *Hugs*

“In the living years....”

Great tune to post & thank you for it!

Hope you have a loverly weekend!

[AZamericonnie]

Don't overdo it Sweetie.....extending an injury is not a good idea! #stopbeingtomotherly

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Connie, for the tributes for our troops.

They really need our prayers as they seem to have been abandoned by their country, their cic. God watch over them!!

Did you have a good commute? No critters?

We have about 2 dozen new ducklings coming and going for snacks.

My life IS a HISTORY of “Overdoing”. LOL.

[Drumbo]

This lyric should win a bad grammar award. Besides the redundant "The Heat was Hot" in the first verse, it's chorus contains one of the most ungrammatical lines in popular music: " 'cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain." There's enough of a quadruple negative there to make your English professor's head explode.

[Drumbo]

No, you were trying to get “layed” (which isn’t a word, but the alternative is what a hen does to an egg).

[Publius]

Maybe I should have tried to "get lain"?

(No wonder I had such bad luck.)
