"Here Was A Man"
(To be spoken--Johnny Cash-like--over a lonely keyboard version of "Joy to the World")
"Here was a man...a man who was born in a small village, the son of a peasant woman. He grew up in another small village. Until He reached the age of thirty, He worked as a carpenter; then, for three years, He was a travelling minister. But He never travelled more than two hundred miles from where He was born, and where He did go, He usually walked. He never held political office, He never wrote a book, He never bought a home, He never had a family, He never went to college, and He never set foot inside a big city, yet...here was a man.
Here was a man...though He never did one of those things that you usually associate with greatness, He had no credentials but Himself. He had nothing to do with this World, except through the Divine Purpose that brought Him to this World.
While He was still a young man, the Tide of Popular Opinion turned against Him. Most of His FRiends ran away...one of them denied Him, one of them betrayed Him and turned Him over to his Enemies. Then, He went through the mockery of a Trial and was nailed to a Roman Cross between two thieves. And even while He was dying, His executioners gambled for the only piece of property He had in this World, and that was His robe, His Purple Robe. When He was dead, He was taken down from the cross and laid in a borrowed grave, provided by a compassionate FRiend.
More than Nineteen Centuries have come and gone, and today He's the Centerpiece of the Human Race, Our Leader, and the Column to Human Destiny. And I think I'm well within the mark when I say that All of the Armies that Ever Marched, All of the Navies that Ever Sailed, All of the Legislative Bodies that Ever Sat, and All of the Kings that Ever Reigned...All of Them Put Together have not affected the Life of Man on this Earth so Powerfully as that One Solitary Life...
Here was a man."

For a poet
I'm slow at it.

Or maybe I do understand and call Slick "Billie" nonetheless...in any event, I know "CellMate Dwight" don't know--nor care--'bout the difference!!
FReegards...MUD
FReegards...MUD
Clinton’s Cell (To the Tune of Silver Bells) Crazy Lib’rals, silly DemRATS Wearing woebegone frowns, In the air there’s a feeling of Justice Freepers laughing, Right wing glowing, Meeting smile after smile. And on every newsstand you read: Clinton’s cell, Clinton’s cell Soon Slick will be incarcerated Ring-a-ling, slam the klink Finally o’ Slick has been convicted.
FReegards...MUD
Just to be clear, those are Cash's original lyrics...all I did was transcribe them...MUD
BTW...Johnny C. does do justice to the lyrics.
...& in spite of my employing Daisycutter-*like* charm; after-the-fact. :o)
I loathe you. Slick Willie, I loathe ya. Ay!
[Guitar Solo]
Oh, oh, oh oh oh oh, make Slick a Prison 'Ho!!
Gotta love lyrics like that. One must know the original intonations to really appreciate 'em.
Socialists in Congress? Click on the zeppelin, Grasshopper.
Figgered...ThePrescientOne
In the original, the Scarecrow proves throughout the movie that he has a brain...he's IdeaCentral!! IMHO, Dubyuh had a pretty good idea he'd be Prez when he won his first Texas Gubernatorial Race, but didn't go out of his way to dispel the rumors that he was a bumblin' idiot at first, in part, because it helped prove what LIARS the Leftist Medyuh really is!! The Scarecrow demonstrates that everybody's got an innate capacity fer Wisdom...and I believe Bush, Jr. may just have that Innate Western-StyleWisdom as well. Dutch sho' 'nuff had it!!

Yep...my rhythm guitarist/sound engineer, "Fingers" Vesuvius, hooked me up with that site and a few others which have made parody/FReepin' much more efficient. I used to have to transcribe everything out and we'd have to spend a while gettin' the notes just right on various songs...now I can go directly into the rewrite, thereby increasing productivity.
"Gotta love lyrics like that."
Thanks...LedZep was always my favorite band in my teenage years, so I'm almost too intimidated to FReep their songs; however, I've recently determined that almost every song on "Houses of the Holy" would make a great parody, so look fer more Zeppelin in the not-too-distant future. "No Quarter" works equally well with the OmarTheWhacko and Osama bil Clinton!!!
FReegards...MUD
Yep...re-confirmed prediction...
"Because they succeeded in recruiting some sow who likes to eat?"
No, because we have recruited a Bevy Of BrawnyBrutes/Student-Athletes this year with more on the way...as seen HERE!!
Kwakou "Dwight" Robinson, 6'4", 315-pound DT from New York...he and D'Brick were ranked #1 and #2 in New York overall!! The Yanks mightta stolen Giambi from the A's, but UVA's snaggin' some plum recruits from the Empire State!!
FReegards...MudboyHoo?! BTW..."Are you in for a rude awakening."
Not if I can help it!! And...
!!:o)!!.....Nice comb-over...LOL!!!!
George Welsh was the best football coach in UVA history, but Al Groh and his Coaching Tribe shall take the Hoos to another level altogether, IMHO!!
National Champions or BUST!!!
WahooWah...MUD
FReegards...MUD
'Course, football at Kentucky is a joke. We keep thinking we'll have a team....well maybe someday......
Ok buddy; that plate in my head?
It acts as an internal antenna.
I get all my info via uWave fresh and *hot*. (-FYI-)
While that exoskeletal *thing* jutting outa your head serving a similar purpose; I presume??
Looks like a freepin' set of Reindeer Antlers.
Judging by what's synthesized that comes outa your mouth it sounds like you're being jammed with broadcasts from the USA Network.
(Bet you're quite popular with the kids 'round this time of year when ya hang some garland off yer head, huh?)
"No, because we have recruited a Bevy Of [Brainless] BrawnyBrutes/Student-Athletes this year with more on the way..."
There. Fixed.
Credit the, "Truth in Advertising" laws for my intervention. ;^)
"!!:o)!!.....Nice comb-over...LOL!!!"
OUCH!!!
Lookit kid; you gotta learn to say, "Thank You" when Landru serves ya up a slow curve like that one delivering copiuos amounts of mirth. {wheeew :o)}
...geshhh; kids.
Also for Ole Miss, where lotsa my money has gone the past few years.
But I admit ACC Basketball is worth watching; but as for football, only wish the local TV outlets would stop pre-empting blockbuster Big 10 or SEC games with meaningless ACC contests. Sometimes I hafta scream when the "big" Wake Forest/NC State game is on and I am missing Michigan/Ohio State.
