Arg! I have the song MacArthur Park stuck in my head.

[RevolutionaryActs]

Make it stop! :crazy:

MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down...
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again.


AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! x(

And I didn't sleep last night, I was all excited about Boston, and I have to fly all night tonight, and I'm kind of nervous about that.
The last time I was on a plane I was about 7 or 8 and I don't really remember it. Bleh.

[GalleryGod]

1. FWIW: It's a pretty nice park

In Los Angelos!:applause: They've recently restored it.

As for the song...reminds me always of Freshman Year in College:beer:

[RevolutionaryActs]

2. That's cool! :D

It's nice they restored it, parks are good things. :)

[GalleryGod]

6. Nice Pic of you in the Boston Pic thread, BTW

Sorry I can't make it,:dilemma:
I'm toying with NYC for the NFL Draft,though:popcorn:

[RevolutionaryActs]

10. Thank you.

:blush:


That would be an interesting trip! :)

[demnan]

3. Thanks, Fucker!

Now I'll have that shit stuck in my head the rest of the day. :crazy:

[RevolutionaryActs]

4. MWHAHAHA!!!

:rofl:

[stellanoir]

5. "and (you'll)never have that recipe againnnnn. . .

OH NOOOOOOOOOO !!!"

definitely a leading contestant for dumbest song of all time.

So sorry.

Red eye flights can be most interesting. Have never taken one without enjoying at least one delightfully ridiculous conversation.

The only antidote I know of for overcoming fear of flying is to close your eyes and visualize yourself landing safely and having a really fantastic time. It's a matter of surrender in a way. And the bird's eye perspective one can often gain in flight is an added benefit.

Wishing you a safe and exhilarating journey and adventure.

And I won't remind you again what not to call me. :hi:

[RevolutionaryActs]

8. I think it takes the "cake" for dumbest song.

;)


I'm not too worried about flying, just a little nervous. :)

Thank you for the well wishes. :D


:hi:

[stellanoir]

12. woh

do you always make puns like that?

No seriously. . .consider putting on some better music. . .PRONTO.

Only cure I know of.

And you're welcome.

[ScreamingMeemie]

7. Very nice of you to share it with us.

x(

[RevolutionaryActs]

9. My parents taught me to always share.

:evilgrin:

[ScreamingMeemie]

15. Well.....okay then...I'll share too....

Ahem....


See the tree how big it's grown
But friend it hasn't been so long
It wasn't big...

I laughed at her and she got mad
The first day that she planted it was just a twig.

And Honey, I miss you
And I'm being good
And I'd love to be with you
If only I could...


Or perhaps a little...

Here am I floating in my tin can
Far above the world
Planet earth is blue and there's nothing I can do...


Or this even...

You are so beautiful, to me
Can't you see....woa a woa...
You're everything I've hoped for
You're everything I need...
You are so beautiful...to me.

Have a nice afternoon...hi:

[Huckebein the Raven]

11. *lalalalala.....I am not listening to you.... lalalalalalalalala*

*puts fingers in ears*

:P

[RevolutionaryActs]

13. LOL!

I recall the yellow cotton dress
foaming like a wave
on the ground beneath your knees
birds like tender babies in your hands
and the old men playing
Chinese checkers
by the trees...... don, don, don.......


Mac Arthur Park's is melting in the dark
all the sweet green icing flowing down
someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'cause it took so long to bake it
and I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, nooo!

[Huckebein the Raven]

14. The wheels on the bus go round and round........

must...resist....earworm...

[RevolutionaryActs]

20. DL..... psssstttttttt

Someone left the cake out in the rain.


I just dot not think that I can take.



It took far too long to bake it.



Sadly, I'll never have that recipe again.

[Huckebein the Raven]

33. Not going to crack me

Nuh huh. Nope. Not gonna do it.

[giant_robot]

34. ..

[Huckebein the Raven]

35. Where did you find that smiley ?

[giant_robot]

36. I forget.

I just copied it and uploaded it to my photobucket account.

[redqueen]

16. Did you see American Idol Tue. night?

Heh... you just reminded me of that horrible dress. :)

[RevolutionaryActs]

18. Yes, I did!

I don't like Carrie, and now she gave me this AWFUL earworm, I really don't like her. I think what Simon said was the truth, Barbie meets the Stepford wives.


Con was hot though.... oh the eyeliner.... :hyperventilates:

[redqueen]

26. I noticed the eyeliner as well.

I was impressed by Bo's return.

Shocked that the teacher was voted off. I was guessing it would be Scott.

[RevolutionaryActs]

27. I know, I thought Scott too.

Bo was very good. But was it really 70s dance music? It seemed like 70s rock to me, but either way it ruled. :D

[demnan]

17. Ok, I'm usually pretty mellow, but I've had it!

PAUL: Havin' my baby

[RevolutionaryActs]

19. You evil beotch!

:o

[demnan]

21. HAHAHAHAHAHA - that I am!

:rofl:

[MissMillie]

22. I can cure that

but some think that the cure is worse than the disease.

[RevolutionaryActs]

23. Yeah? Try it.

:D

[MissMillie]

24. Here it goes....

Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl
With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there
She would merengue and do the cha-cha
And while she tried to be a star, Tony always tended bar
Across a crowded floor, they worked from 8 till 4
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?

At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa....they fell in love

(Copa Copacabana)

His name was Rico, he wore a diamond
He was escorted to his chair, he saw Lola dancin' there
And when she finished, he called her over
But Rico went a bit too far, Tony sailed across the bar
And then the punches flew and chairs were smashed in two
There was blood and a single gun shot
But just who shot who?




At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa....she lost her love

(Copa. . Copacabana)
(Copa Copacabana) (Copacabana, ahh ahh ahh ahh)
(Ahh ahh ahh ahh Copa Copacabana)
(Talking Havana have a banana)
(Music and passion...always the fash--shun)
*ahem*


Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl
But that was 30 years ago, when they used to have a show
Now it's a disco, but not for Lola
Still in the dress she used to wear, faded feathers in her hair
She sits there so refined, and drinks herself half-blind
She lost her youth and she lost her Tony
Now she's lost her mind!

At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa....don't fall in love

(Copa) don't fall in love
Copacabana
Copacabana

[RevolutionaryActs]

25. LMFAO! Good show!

:thumbsup:

[marions ghost]

28. LOL LOL --OK,

FIRST, McPark was a contender in the Lounge Worst Song nominations, and THEN Carrie had to do it on American Idol that same night, and then YOU have to go and MENTION it again....!? Imagine Kermit singing this song and on the crescendo he has convulsions...and falls headfirst into the cake. Green on green finale.
(They asked Carrie what this song means and she said she had no idea, but isn't it a great song).

Here's a funny airplane story (true). I was on the inside of a 3-seat row. A woman who was drinking wine nonstop was in the window seat. My SO was in the middle seat, trying to sleep. There was abit of turbulence and altitude change suddenly, and the woman screams out loud, "We're Going Down!!!!" She grabs my SO in a vice-like grip with both arms. I instinctively grab my SO in a similar grip. My SO is a very patient unflappable soul. He opens one eye and says in bored tones, "yes, I KNOW we're going down, because Frisco is down there, and we are...LANDING." Then shuts his eyes.

[RevolutionaryActs]

29. HAHAHA!!! I didn't know it was nominated in that thread!

:rofl:

I now hate Carrie, simply because she gave me the earworm. x(




That is a great story! :D

[kwassa]

30. MacArthur Park was a pretty scary place when I worked near it ...

I wouldn't leave anything there ...

Though the heavy drug scene might account for the lyrics!

It is actually a pretty place, but there was heavy gang activity all through the area, particularly Salvadoran gangs from the large immigrant community that settled in the area.



http://governmentvideo.com/articles/publish/article_424.shtml

In Los Angeles, a neighborhood known as the Rampart district is undergoing a dramatic revitalization centered around the improvement of the area’s MacArthur Park. Long recognized solely as a hotspot for drug use and gang activity, the 40-acre park near downtown L.A. is reaping the benefits of the Alvarado Corridor project, a combined effort of the community’s members, local businesses, government, and the Los Angeles Police Department.

According to Sergeant Ed Gomez of the LAPD’s Rampart division, the project was borne out of a community at its breaking point. “The park was a place known for drugs and crime in general, and people were avoiding the park at all costs,” he said. “We decided it was time to take back the park, and take back the community.”
In fact, the project was something of a grass roots operation, with the community members taking charge from the beginning. “The community is where the idea originated in the first place,” Gomez added. “They came to us and said they wanted a change. They were tired of being afraid in their own neighborhood, afraid to go to their own park. It’s like the ‘broken window’ theory — clean up the park, and the rest of the neighborhood will follow.”

31. Every day, I get Disney songs in my head...

"Hakuna Matata" from Lion King

and that "You'll bring honor to us all" song from Mulan

and the list goes on...

The joys of fatherhood...

32. Muskrat Love

Muskrat, muskrat candlelight
Doin' the town and doin' it right
In the evenin'
It's pretty pleasin'

Muskrat Susie, Muskrat Sam
Do the jitterbug out in muskrat land
And they shimmy
And Sammy's so skinny

And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin' and jingin' the jango
Floatin' like the heavens above
It looks like muskrat love

Nibbling on bacon, chewin' on cheese
Sammy says to Susie "Honey, would you please be my missus?"
And she say yes
With her kisses

And now he's ticklin' her fancy
Rubbin' her toes
Muzzle to muzzle, now anything goes
As they wriggle, and Sue starts to giggle

And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin' and jingin' the jango
Floatin' like the heavens above
It looks like muskrat love

La da da da da ...
