Babylonsister Appreciation Thread

[Mike 03]

Babylonsister is yet another example of a D.U. member here who deserves some appreciation and gratitude for her loyalty, dedication, and the (almost infinite) many relevant and important posts and articles, and I've taken her for granted over the past few years.

I'm so happy she is here.

[Jane Austin]

1. Hear! Hear!

I always read her comments and posts.

[The Magistrate]

2. Glad To have Found This early, Sir!

She is a splendid ornament to our forum here!

[Jim Lane]

11. I take your meaning, but....

I must quibble with your word choice. To me, an "ornament" is decorative but useless. The posts from babylonsister are substantive and valuable.

In the sense of a bright spot that attracts attention, however, then I of course agree with you that she is an ornament!

[Mike 03]

13. Sir, I'm so pleased to see you here.

Your contribution is much appreciated, to say the least.

[opihimoimoi]

3. Here to Mud in her eye...:o)

19. Absolutely! Unquestionably! Indubitably!

I'm running outta enthusiastic affirmations here, but y'all get the idea.

Three loud cheers for BabySis!

Always with the interesting links and quotes, always with the thoughtful comments... and pretty good with grammar, spelling, and sentence structure, too!

Babylonsister ROCKS!!

enthusiastically,
Bright

[H2O Man]

20. Absolutely!

Babylonsister is fantastic! I have an extremely high opinion of her contributions here, and of her as a person.

Nominated.

[Canuckistanian]

21. I swear, I don't know how she does it

If there's a relevant news story out there, she's on it and she's on it FIRST.

As the OP said, we're glad she's here. She's one of a handful of indispensable DUers.

AND, as a lifelong rabid Steely Dan fan, I've go to say she's got the coolest username!

Cheers, Babylonsister!

But thank you very kindly.

[azul]

76. Respectfully in awe.

Babylon's friendly intelligence here ecourages clowns like me to try to express themselves. And sometimes that is maybe a good thing. Sometimes maybe not. But at least feel so not alone.

Steely Dan - Babylon Sister (Live in NY)

Drive west on Sunset
To the sea
Turn that jungle music down
Just until we're out of town
This is no one night stand
It's a real occasion
Close your eyes and you'll be there
It's everything they say
The end of a perfect day
Distant lights from across the bay
Babylon sisters shake it
Babylon sisters shake it
So fine so young
Tell me I'm the only one

Here come those Santa Ana winds again

We'll jog with show folk on the sand
Drink kirschwasser from a shell
San Francisco show and tell
Well I should know by now
That it's just a spasm
Like a Sunday in T.J.
That it's cheap but it's not free
That I'm not what I used to be
And that love's not a game for three

Babylon sisters shake it
Babylon sisters shake it
So fine so young
Tell me I'm the only one

My friends say no don't go
For that cotton candy
Son you're playing with fire
The kid will live and learn
As he watches his bridges burn
From the point of no return

Babylon sisters shake it
Babylon sisters shake it
So fine so young
Tell me I'm the only one
:hug: :loveya:
