In the United Kingdom and Commonwealth, elevenses are a meal that is similar to afternoon tea, but eaten in the morning. It is generally less savoury than brunch, and could consist of some cake or bread and a cup of tea. In Australia, it is called morning tea (often little lunch or play lunch in primary school). The name refers to the time of day that it is taken: around 11 am.
In fiction, Winnie the Pooh preferred honey on bread with condensed milk, while in Middle-earth it is a meal eaten by Hobbits, who treat it as a full meal and not a snack.
12535. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 12/7/2004 12:51:45 AM I thought it had something to with a game of jax . . . nineses, tenses, elevenses . . . I win! 12536. Ms. No - 12/7/2004 12:58:00 AM AC,
I believe Freebird was an original tune by Skynard. Whipping Post is likely an older blues tune that the Allman Bros. popularized --- as they did with Stormy Monday Blues. 12537. Ms. No - 12/7/2004 1:07:58 AM iiibbb,
yeah, Freebird and even Sweet Home Alabama are way too far down the list --- especially if they're going to include every major hit that Elivs had and then songs that nobody ever heard of. And what's with Waterloo Sunset being in the top 100? I love that song but as far as it's significance it's still farther down the line than Freebird.
Honestly, I think it's a bit of prejudice against Southern Rock. My father recently recommended a book to me written by a long-time Rolling Stone author called Dixie Lullaby and it looks specifically at Southern Rock and what it meant and what the contributions were and how so many in the industry --- notably the author --- kind of shunned it because it was for rednecks and hillbillies rather than California hippies.
I may not be able to wait for him to send it to me. I just might have to pick up a copy for myself. 12538. arkymalarky - 12/7/2004 1:15:54 AM 3i3b,
Haha! I read Wonk's post and didn't put the two together, but when Bro and I had a band in college we played that and your post reminded me of those days, because no matter what great song (not necessarily great rendition, mind you) we played, people always hollered "FREEBIRD!" which, if I say so myself, Bro was wicked on with the guitar.
Thankfully we didn't last long enough for me to grow to despise it. 12539. arkymalarky - 12/7/2004 1:17:03 AM Mags,
Thanks. I really appreciate that. I'm pretty stressed until I get done with that paper and finals next week, but after it's done I hope to chill somewhat before the legislative session starts up in mid-January. 12540. Ms. No - 12/7/2004 1:17:34 AM And what is with this shit that Carole King has got one tune on the whole list or that R. Kelly is on there but nothing by Styx?
Bad, bad list. Wonder how it was compiled. 12541. arkymalarky - 12/7/2004 1:24:06 AM By people who aren't old enough to remember them, no doubt. 12542. Ms. No - 12/7/2004 1:35:58 AM I was just reading and they had a big panel of artists and industry people who all got to nominate their top 50 favorite tunes and then the list was decided from that. 12543. iiibbb - 12/7/2004 2:00:07 AM Also notably absent from the top 100 is the Bohemian Rapsody... 12544. iiibbb - 12/7/2004 2:03:38 AM Rhapsody.... since we're spelling obsessed at the moment. 12545. Ms. No - 12/7/2004 2:09:52 AM hahaha, yeah, I noticed that too and yet "Mystery Train" is going to make the cut.
bizarre. 12546. Macnas - 12/7/2004 1:36:10 PM Well, lets look at what's on our personal playlists eh?
Just a random 10 from my winamp list...
Coldplay, "Yellow"
Beck, "Loser"
Stiff Little Fingers, "Gotta Getta way"
Bob Marley and the Wailers, "Jamming"
David Bowie, "Pretty Things"
Frank Zappa, "City of Tiny Lights (live)"
Talking Heads, "Psycho Killer (live)"
The Ramones, "Blitzkrieg Bop"
The Clash, "Guns of Brixton"
Lynyrd Skynyrd "FREE BIRD!!" 12547. Magoseph - 12/7/2004 3:26:40 PM ...what are you replacing it with?
I don't know yet, Ali, maybe ceramic tiles. The old ones are not replaceable. Actually, it is not worthwhile to put ceramic tiles in here since this house, (if sold) will most likely be razed. The house has no particular style, a very inconvenient set-up, is not worth renovating.
Hello, Mac, tell me, do you have a Christmas party at work? 12548. Magoseph - 12/7/2004 3:43:08 PM Hey, Judsie, that's too bad about your car--Is the panel difficult to replace? Were you in the car? Driving? 12549. Macnas - 12/7/2004 3:48:15 PM Hello Mago,
We have several, there is a main event, a big old affair that I always avoid, then there are departmental celebrations, which I also avoid, and many minor sub-group type hooleys, and yes, I never go to those either.
I see enough of these people all day without having to break bread with them as well. 12550. iiibbb - 12/7/2004 3:50:40 PM Yes... one of Beck's should be in the top 10... that guy is a genius. 12551. iiibbb - 12/7/2004 3:51:12 PM My top 10 probably contains more than 10 :) 12552. Ms. No - 12/7/2004 5:58:35 PM Mac,
As usual I just want to copy your entire music collection.
Lemme see what I've got in the rotation lately:
The Clash - Train in Vain
Earth Wind & Fire - Got to Get You Into My Life
Bowie - Golden Years
The Smiths - How Soon is Now
The Police - Bring on the Night
Zappa - Dirty Love
Crowded House - Don't Dream it's Over
Emmylou Harris - Red Dirt Girls
Joan Osbourne - Poison Apples
Bauhaus - The Passion of Lovers is for Death (techno remix)
The Damned - Alone Again Or
Lowell George - Easy Money
Franz Ferdinand - 40
Fiona Apple - You're All I Need
U2 - New Year's Day
Man, that's kind of a strange list. Generally I do things like put a bunch of 70's horn bands together or make an all 80's goth or new wave list or all chick-singers or all Zappa or folk. This is just bizarre looking.
