Open Thread Monday

[filkertom]

Greets, all! And a Happy Monday to you. Well, Ad Astra was a heck of a lot of fun, and I'd like to thank Alex Von Thorn, Gord Rose, and the rest of the team for making it a very pleasant time. And, to any of the filk newbies who got corrupted during my concerts: Welcome! Y'ain't seen nothin' yet.

I have to work on a few different things today -- finishing up the first version of a commissioned song, and gearing up for this weekend, which will feature A Very Special Early Version of 24-Hour Comics Day. Hint: Break out your old FFs and Thors.

Meantime, feel free to use this as an Open Thread. Have fun, play nice.

As a corrupted filk newbie, thanks for coming down. I had a good time.

Bwa-ha-ha! And thanks for showing up and taking part -- hope to see you again! (Gotta get all those Ren & Stimpy and Animaniacs lyrics into my songbook -- when I finally clean up/overhaul my songbook....)

Argh! Hellraiser earworm!!

Nightbreed, me boyo. You're Barkering up the wrong tree. :)

I plead unfamiliarity: It's not my (film) genre.

'Sokay. Besides, "Hellraiser earworm" has a better lilt to it than "Nightbreed earworm". (Now there's something you don't hear every day.)

How about Chthulu earworm? Dan was whistling Lite FM this morning.

There's no shoggoth like Yog Shoggoth like no shoggoth I know?

Psst. Go take a look at my post from late Saturday night/early Sunday morning.

I did indeed.

Fritz...?

His reply was the one right above yours. It *could* be his SCA name...

I was listening to The Pirates of Penzance the other day, and was wondering whether, if she were alive today, the nurse might not celebrate Talk Like A Pilot Day.

To me, way, hey, up, up, and away,
It's Talk Like A Pilot Day,
When "wings" aren't served as a spicy hors' dourves,
And "props" ain't what Ryan and Drew play,
When "struts" are for holdin' the wings from unfoldin',
And "chocks" ain't a vitamin pill,
We'll jump in the cockpit, take hold of the joystick,
And give everybody a thrill, yo ho.

"Why d'they call it a 'joystick', anyway?"
"Because 'big wanker' was already taken."
"Hey, I didn't vote for the guy."
