2. the following:
Big Rock Candy Mountain



One evening as the sun went down and the jungle fire was burning
Down the track came a hobo hiking and he said boys I'm not turning
I'm headin for a land that's far away beside the crystal fountains
So come with me we'll go and see the Big Rock Candy Mountains

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains there's a land that's fair and bright
Where the handouts grow on bushes and you sleep out every night
Where the boxcars are all empty and the sun shines every day
On the birds and the bees and the cigarette trees
Where the lemonade springs where the bluebird sings
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains all the cops have wooden legs
And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth and the hens lay soft boiled eggs
The farmer's trees are full of fruit and the barns are full of hay
Oh, I'm bound to go where there ain't no snow
Where the rain don't fall and the wind don't blow
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains you never change your socks
And the little streams of alcohol come a-trickling down the rocks
The brakemen have to tip their hats and the railroad bulls are blind
There's a lake of stew and of whiskey too
You can paddle all around 'em in a big canoe
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains the jails are made of tin
And you can walk right out again as soon as you are in
There ain't no short handled shovels, no axes saws or picks
I'm a goin to stay where you sleep all day
Where they hung the jerk that invented work
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

I'll see you all this coming fall in the Big Rock Candy Mountains

17. the Big Rock Candy White House
In the Big Rock Candy White House, there's a land that's fair and bright,
all the handouts go to Bushies, and the public never gripes
Halliburton keeps polluting, and gets richer every day
while the birds and the bees disappear from the trees,
And the EPA lies, when they fall from the skies
In the Big Rock Candy White House

19. Oh!
First I saw the angry Smilie. When I saw such a very happy Smilie, I didn't recognize that it was you!

5. Chimps really aren't anywhere near as smart as humans
And they have no intelligable language. :hi:

6. I added something. Is it close enough or do you want your exact wording?

11. Sorry, I guess I prefer appreciation to be demonstrated by
ultra-fast use of an option when it appears.

13. Ah, you thought I was fickle
Or, dare I say, a flip-flopper. :rofl:

No, I went with my contribution. Unless I've had too much to drink already and clicked the wrong option.




What thread is this again? :silly:

8. I went with hanging chads.
But seriously, I hope eight years of the * regime has cured Americans, especially Democrats, of apathy about voting. Over the past 7 1/2 years, I have met more than one who didn't go to the polls in 2000 and bitterly regrets it. It helped * to steal the election.

20. Other.
Being "a guy you'd like to have a beer with" is probably not a good reason to elect a guy president.

21. Despite what Jane Goodall says...
...some chimps ARE capable of deliberate cruelty. :(
