Today a new song invaded. It's from way before my time. I have no idea where I first heard it. But the song stuck.
There's a fruit store on our street
It's run by a Greek.
And he keeps good things to eat
But you should hear him speak!
''When you ask him anything, he never answers "no".
He just "yes"es you to death, and as he takes your dough
He tells you
"Yes, we have no bananas
We have-a no bananas today.
We've string beans, and onions
Cabbageses, and scallions,
And all sorts of fruit and say
We have an old fashioned to-mah-to
A Long Island po-tah-to
But yes, we have no bananas.
We have no bananas today."
Business got so good for him that he wrote home today,
"Send me Pete and Nick and Jim; I need help right away."
When he got them in the store, there was fun, you bet.
Someone asked for "sparrow grass" and then the whole quartet
All answered
"Yes, we have no bananas
We have-a no bananas today.
Just try those coconuts
Those walnuts and doughnuts
There ain't many nuts like they.
We'll sell you two kinds of red herring,
Dark brown, and ball-bearing.
But yes, we have no bananas
We have no bananas today."

First was the world as one great cymbal made
Where jarring winds to infant nature played
All music was a solitary sound
To hollow rocks and murmuring fountains bound
Jubal first made the wilder notes agree
And Jubal tuned music's jubilee
He called the echoes from their sullen cell
And built the organs city where they dwell
Each sought a consort in that lovely place
And virgin trebles wed the manly bass
From whence the progeny of numbers new
Into harmonious colonies withdrew
Some to the lute, some to the viol went
And others chose the cornet eloquent
These practicing the wind, and those the wire
To sing man's triumphs, or in Heaven's choir.
-Armifer
"...everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms-- to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way."

Off-topic, but I just lost The Game.
I thought you all should know.

For those who aren't hip to the giggling tweenie gossip-slang, The Game is where you are supposed to never talk about, never read about, or otherwise bring to bear The Game. Upon doing so, you lose and you have to let everyone know.

Interesting way to put it... I actually heard someone announce it on the Kree earlier. It was so out of place in the middle of a pirate swarm that I had to laugh. I hadn't thought about it in at least a good couple years.

I think it depends on the area - I don't remember ever hearing of The Game until I moved to Virginia, but where I live everyone seems to know about it. There was even a 50-something-year-old teacher in my high school who used to announce it over the PA system every so often, much to the dismay of the rest of the school.
I wasn't sure what to do with it in-game, because there's nothing overtly OOC about the concept, so I just ended up ignoring it. Given his personality, I figure my character would think it was stupid, even if he knew what it was.
"Gene police! You, out of the pool!"
"Man invented language to satisfy his deep need to complain."
"The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory."

Not right, but I played this song when I knew this girl was leaving my friend. She endend up with another guy we knew about week later.

re: Africa
I thought this version was particularly hilarious.

IT'S THE STORY OF MY LIFE!!! (Also, the pitch-correction on the vocals is completely out of control)
>>I've got this stuck now, but it's pretty good anyway
Dammit. Got me.
I can't find an actual video for the song I have stuck in my head, but it sounds a lot like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wI3GNufaQQU

>>This is the dumbest folder ever.
As someone who is likely an actual contender for highest circle (when you include circle plus skillz/stats), I'm not sure you're even allowed to post here. Your very presence makes the folder nearly on topic, which is an anathema.
I don't even know how to cope.

Yeah, this is kind of my point. Let's make a music folder and be done with it. Watch this gets pulled for being off-topic. It wouldn't be the first time I got a post pulled in this folder.
My favorite post was when some mod said this was the longest thread ever. Guess what, it's the only thread that doesn't get shut down for being off-topic.

While I can understand how annoying this thread is, this specific folder has always been a discussion of oog oddball topics, everything else except highest circle and game bragging.
Now, as this isn't the conflicts nor complaints folder let's just not continue.
