Message: [QUOTE="CaptainJ, post: 3310345, member: 1553"] (EDIT: going to take the time to shorten the longer quotes, as I expect this will be kinda long as it is...[B]anyone who I replied to can simply scroll to their their quoted post and skip the rest if they wish to, if they don't prefer to skip even that. For now, this ended up being my contribution. Like Jim Morrison sang, when the music's over, turn out the lights...a theme some on here have also directed at our fearless leader for awhile now)[/B] EPIC!! When I first saw this title, I thought it was another thread about it being quiet there, and maybe you had arrived early. And even more epic is the fact you got many others to add to it! Good work, Triple B. While I've lamented the loss of magic, you still seem to have ample stores of it when the proper inspiration is present. Some may noticed I have endeavored to use the multi quote, which if I had been familiar with the time I caught up on many pages of the legendary Taurean Thompson thread overnight whilst nobody else was posting in between them, would have saved me from a lot of abuse for the next however many days. But it did get me possibly the top compliment I've ever received on any incarnation of the board, being called "a very poor man's Hunter S Thompson" ;) I suspect some will dislike me employing the alternative method as well, as it may require a similar amount of scrolling despite being far less posts, if one wishes to cruise past it. Anyhow, that was great. I only remember one parody I ever officially released the lyrics to on here(Blundered Presser, RIP Freddy and David)...but this reminded me of one I don't think I ever finished, "Buy Buy, By Keita!"(I seem to recall some of it addressing the various expenses of the cash cows), based on a Misfits/Metallica song, "Die Die Die, My Darling". You said some undeserved self-deprecating stuff about your Haiku or whatever(maybe in an attempt to deflect some of the deserved praise?)...but when you're doing you're own poetry, there are extra degrees of creativity involved that doing parodies of existing hit songs don't require. That's not to knock anything in here, because some of the stuff were from originals that already got me pumped up over the years, and as humble as you are, additionally to the epic OP, you laid the foundation/tilled the soil/girded the loins(? I know you like that one lol) of whatever came/comes after this!! Heck, that's the first of 3 mentions of nether regions in this post, just a kind heads up to anyone who may be partaking of any food while perusing this. This took awhile, so an additional heads up that I'm not going to proofread any more of it. I'm not sure, being I haven't written a Haiku or any fixed meter stuff in a very long time... like I mentioned to Triple B, I always found parodies a path of lesser resitance. Either way, I wanted to tip my cap not only for trying to follow something so epic, but also for being the first dissenter on here! (I'm being sincere with all I plan to say in here, and felt the need to put that disclaimer...being I don't know how some take my posts when I am wound up). He's no Funk Soul Brother either :) (from the 1998 Fatboy Slim hit) lol nice! You guys got me to Tee nearly the whole thread. I was trying to think of songs to parody and that made me think of ones from Viet Nam movies where folks were getting their hair buzzed off. I also thought of George Thoroughgood's "Get A Haircut And Get a Real Job" ;) Either way, a great metaphor which is the same process as writing these other works. I'm going to lovingly tell you that you're feelings are not necessarily irrational, at least if you measure them relative to the ongoing hatred toward the Boneyard(UConn board, for anyone unfamiliar). JT, the man who represented an arch-rival, insulted our whole program and fanbase at a pretty emotional time. For better or worse, it was rather legendary. That was trolling before Al Gore even invented the internet. Indeed you are correct about how good it was. Not to nitpick, but rather sincerely say that nothing thereafter is necessarily trying to top it, even though I am guessing you may not have meant it literally. This thread can be seen like a garden, where each of us is sowing the seeds of love(for the Dome, and entertainment, and whatever else). I was never a pay side member back when it was more than a joke...not one of the in crowd, lol... So I'm asking sincerely: Do the vast majority really enjoy these things? Nobody's body takes issue with so many wangs in close proximity and creates performance anxiety or whatever it's called? I'm asking sincerely, because it isn't always easy to tell online. We've got people with pee troughs as their avatar, and UpperDecks as their title. It seems this place was more loose back in the day. :) (I wasn't even familiar with UpperDecks other than baseball and had to look it up, similar to Chicago Sun Roofs sometime afterward. Ive seen a lot written/heard a lot spoken about CNY over the years, but it's residents are truly a hardy/hearty lot, especially when it comes to this team. Like I mentioned to TrueBlue25 earlier, to pull nearly 30k with the records of both teams today is testiment to that. Some top political candidates of either establishment party have had to cancel large events because they couldn't get people to come for free...in good weather. Many of us learned the love and were hooked at a yound age even if our hard working families were only casual fans. Well, I already guessed what one of the words was. ;) I'm not sure if we'd be able to get the rest in a hangman style guessing, so if you're serious, I won't mind publically asking. I hope I don't regret it, lol. Man, I can't believe this didn't have a TON of likes. I guess maybe not many here are familiar with the song(the original, well the version I was familiar with anyhow) was already an EPIC hit on it's own, heavily laden with humor...and this added more on top of it. I know music is subjective like other art, but I am expressing [I]great [/I]love for this parody. I didn't think of songs with "roof" in the title when trying to think of a song to parody...and Mike Waters was an EPIC icing on the cake!!!(to paraphrase a line I of Peter North's I was once subjected to hearing repeated). Orange79! When I first read this while clicking the quotes, you cheered me up. You may have noticed I made a bit of an error in how I saw a post a little before I came into this thread, and now I feel a bit less self-conscious to see someone other than the mere mortals do it as well. I believe the poster had quoted Pfister1 and his follow up version. :) Wait, was that the member who said they saw Brady sitting down to pee? ;) At times I may use the word EPIC a little too loosely, but I don't think it would be here. A triumphant and happy, whilst defiant, anthem!! I actually had thought of one with with word "home" in the title, Motley Crue's "Home Sweet Home", but I prefer yours for multiple reasons(including Crue's being a more mellow piano piece). You even found a way to weave a legendary board member into the experience, which I don't think I would have been confident enough to do. As someone who enjoys writing these, I'm tipping my cap in all sincerety. And at least on this one I know I am not overvaluing my reaction, being the OP already gave it kudos. With 3 great parodies in addition to a number of original poems, I actually am a bit intimidated to try one...and Ive spent so much time writing this post that I've not had much time to think about one yet. Looking on the bright side of a downside of the hind quarters(and not the last one in this thread), folks get some free body art with one of the team's 2 colors. If they could get someone to do some body painting with orange on the other cheek, they would be set. Indeed. Kind of the opposite of when I generally think of "deep" on here. The would be summed up by the line from some 80s movie I remember a friend going on about. Somehing like "Get out the hip boots, 'cuz the is getting deep". I think it was in a Richard Pryor movie, but it's been so long the source and the exact line haven't come to me yet. I'd be grateful if anyone could remember it for me. As promised in the prior(no pun intended, would have been cooler vocally lol) reply: Something else besides Tully's could be tender if this is going to require multiple visits like one could infer from your post. Hopefully youve got something soft like Charmin or maybe some wipees on hand. ;) And to once again come to the aid of someone I historically have not liked(I truly do at times enjoy being a voice for those without one), [B]Tom Brady[/B], the above is an illustratration that [I]all[/I] men pee sitting down at times, though drinking copious amounts in a single night during college taught me the [I]direction [/I]can vary at times.
