This is the joke I think of when I hear "parrot joke". Clean, but funny.

Cheers.

that's a rather cleaned-up version.

in the version i always heard, there's an "f" in how ugly she is. *grin*
 
I was hoping

Still right, after all these years, man.

Get Up, Stand Up, stand up for your right
Get Up, Stand Up, don't give up the fight

Preacher man don't tell me heaven is under the earth
I know you don't know what life is really worth
Is not all that glitters in gold
and Half the story has never been told
So now you see the light, aay
Stand up for your right.

Come on Get Up, Stand Up, stand up for your right
Get Up, Stand Up, don't give up the fight

Most people think great God will come from the sky
Take away ev'rything, and make ev'rybody feel high
But if you know what life is worth
You would look for yours on earth
And now you see the light
You stand up for your right, yeah!

Get Up, Stand Up, stand up for your right
Get Up, Stand Up, don't give up the fight
Get Up, Stand Up. Life is your right
So we can't give up the fight
Stand up for your right, Lord,

Lord Get Up, Stand Up
Keep on struggling on
Don't give up the fight

We're sick and tired of your ism and skism game
Die and go to heaven in Jesus' name,
Lord We know when we understand
Almighty God is a living man
You can fool some people sometimes
But you can't fool all the people all the time
So now we see the light
We gonna stand up for our right

So you'd better get up, stand up, stand up for your right
Get Up, Stand Up, don't give up the fight
Get Up, Stand Up, stand up for your right
Get Up, Stand Up, don't give up the fight


 
Gettin' kinda political with this, but...

This is an old Lyndon Johnson campaign song. Well, Lyndon comes from Texas, you know, and this song is an old Texas song that Lyndon learned when he wanted to become president. And he didn't rewrite it, it's just the same way it always was.

Yes, I know I've been untrue
And I have hurt you through and through
But please have mercy on this heart of mine
Won't you take me back and try me one more time

In my dreams I see your face
It seems like there's someone in my place
But does he know that you were once mine
Won't you take me back and try me one more time

If you come back to me now
I'll make it up to you somehow
I promise to never be unkind
If you'll take me back and try me one more time
Won't you take me back and try me one more time

...the weather here yesterday and today. I can't give exact numbers, but we had in the vicinity of six inches of very wet snow, followed by rain, freezing rain, and/or sleet. It's a couple of degrees above freezing, and this morning there were deep puddles under several inches of crusty snow. A lot of trees have been self-pruning due to the weight of the snow.

My walk to work today was not entirely pleasant.

Move. Or, you know, relish that whole "four seasons" concept. Which I just really don't get.

Posted by daen on Wed, 05/12/2004 - 9:05am.
I do indeed relish the four seasons.
I merely object to going from late spring to full winter in under 24 hours.
 
4 Seasons??
Posted by ParU on Wed, 05/12/2004 - 3:01pm.
I always thought that the 4 Seasons was a very upscale hotel, so upscale that I've never managed to stay there, even on an expense account.
What else could you be talking about?
And what's 'snow'? Isn't that what ski areas make to snowboard on? Whyever would one make it where you lived?
I'm so confused!

Posted by Jon on Thu, 05/13/2004 - 6:22am.
I always enjoyed the "Winter" movement of the Four Seasons best (very energetic and emotional), but I suppose Californians would prefer Summer or Spring. ;p
 
Yeah!
Posted by marinerd on Thu, 05/13/2004 - 8:44am.
Vivaldi rocks! But right now I'm listening to Me First and the Gimme Gimmes.
 
Heh. Woo yay for Me First and the Gimme Gimmes...

Vocabulary
Posted by marinerd on Mon, 05/10/2004 - 2:16pm.
I'm always interested in new words, and I've never heard fugly before. Is it a contraction of "f***ing ugly"?

I'm currently re-reading a book called "Our Marvelous Native Tongue" about the history of English, with many amusing tidbits about particular words as well, and it's just delightful. By Robert Claiborne if anyone's interested.
 
I do believe it is so...

Hardly anyone sucks as bad as my beloved Ms these days. Are they just old? Or is it just one of those mysteries which will eventually be solved? No one knows. *sigh*

It's the uncertainty that gets you.
Punctuationwise...
Posted by slugbuggy on Mon, 05/10/2004 - 10:51am.
shouldn't that be "f'ugly" instead of "fugly"? I'm just f'asking.
OH.

And here I thought they could have been talking about grades. . . but then again, no age was given. . .
Posted by Matt on Sun, 05/09/2004 - 8:59pm.
Fugly! I haven't heard that in years. Not since I left SoCal, actually.

And not to rehash an earlier rant, but I'm profoundly not surprised that a comment about something really ugly was overheard at IKEA.
 
You just haven't been hanging around the right people, Matt.
Posted by paul on Sun, 05/09/2004 - 10:34pm.
"Fugly" is right up there with "coyote ugly" in descriptions on this coast.

And since it's been mentioned by name...

(No, it's not the porn site. It may or may not be work safe, depending on if you work for a clenchbutt, but it's not obscene.)

paul is not our savior.
paul is known as 'silk' to all who know and love him.
paul is a past master at floating progressive.
paul is that man.
 
Posted by Matt on Mon, 05/10/2004 - 8:51am.
FWIW, the only time I've ever heard the phrase "coyote ugly" is as a film title.
 
It's the punch line to an old joke.
Posted by paul on Mon, 05/10/2004 - 6:09pm.
Back in the bad old days of the West, pretty women were very scarce. Most of the women that were "available" out there were less than pleasant to behold, so the cowboys came up with a system for rating how ugly they were.

One bag ugly- where you ask her to put a bag over her head before sex.

Two bag ugly- where you were one as well, in case hers breaks.

Coyote ugly- where she's soooooo ugly that in the morning, rather than risk waking her, you chew your arm off to escape.
