8008. Macnas - 12/14/2005 8:56:01 PM "With all the will in the world,
Diving for dear life,
When we should be diving for pearls.."
Some of my favourite lyrics. 8009. judithathome - 12/16/2005 4:48:22 AM Arky, do you know what the lyrics are to a song Eminem does which contain "ooops, there goes gravity"? 8010. arkymalarky - 12/16/2005 6:57:04 AM I don't know them all, but here they are. It's the main song from the movie 8 Mile:
Eminem
Lose Yourself
Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted-One moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?
Yo, His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's chokin, how everybody's chokin now
The clock's run out, time's up over, bloah!
Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity
Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked
He's so mad, but he won't give up that easy
No, he won't have it , he knows his whole back city's ropes
It don't matter, he's dope
He knows that, but he's broke
He's so stacked that he knows
When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's
Back to the lab again yo
This whole rap city
He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him
[Chorus:]
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo,
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime you better,
His soul's escaping, through this hole that it's gaping
This world is mine for the taking
Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order
A normal life is borin, but superstardom's close to post mortom
It only grows harder, only grows hotter
He blows us all over these hoes is all on him
Coast to coast shows, he's know as the globetrotter
Lonely roads, God only knows
He's grown farther from home, he's no father
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
But hold your nose cause here goes the cold water
These ho's don't want him no mo, he's cold product
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
He nose dove and sold nada
So the soap opera is told and unfolds
I suppose it’s old partner, but the beat goes on
Da da dum da dum da da
[Chorus:]
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo, you better
No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this mothafuckin roof off like 2 dogs caged
I was playin in the beginnin, the mood all changed
I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhymin and stepwritin the next cypher
Best believe somebody's payin the pied piper
All the pain inside amplified by the fact
That I can't get by with my 9 to 5
And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
Cause man, these goddam food stamps don't buy diapers
And it's no movie, there's no Makai Pfeiffer, this is my life
And these times are so hard and it's getting even harder
Tryin to feed and water my seed, plus
Teeter-totter caught up between trying to be a father and a prima donna
Baby mama drama's screamin on and
Too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another day of monotony
Has gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate a plot or I end up in jail or shot
Success is my only mothafuckin option, failure's not
Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go
I cannot grow old in Salem's lot
So here I go is my shot.
Feet fail me not or not this may be the only opportunity that I got
[Chorus:]
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime you better,
You can do anything you set your mind to, man
8011. arkymalarky - 12/16/2005 6:57:40 AM Phew! I'm glad that worked out. I meant to preview and I hit post instead. 8012. wonkers2 - 12/16/2005 2:29:08 PM The man has talent, but I don't think he's another Bob Dylan or Hank Williams. 8013. judithathome - 12/16/2005 5:16:19 PM Thanks, Arky...Keoni likes that ad for Curtin Call the hits album, and he asked me "What is he saying, anyhow?" and I had to admit I wasn't sure...ha! 8014. arkymalarky - 12/16/2005 11:36:59 PM Actually, it's harder to hear than a lot of his stuff, imo, but nothing compares to the Marshal Mathers LP. 8015. wonkers2 - 12/17/2005 10:57:07 PM Anybody read Maureen Dowd's new book, "Are Men Necessary?" I bought one for my daughter for Christmas and have read about a third of it. Entertaining. 8016. PelleNilsson - 12/19/2005 8:20:04 PM Here is Queen Silvia surrounded by an improbably ill-dressed bunch of nerds, who have just reveived their prizes in a nation-wide competition.
Your task is to figure out the nature of this competition. It has nothing to do with computers or the IT-sector. In fact, it has little to do with any specific subject at all. But it requires no little knowledge of the world. 8017. judithathome - 12/19/2005 9:51:04 PM I have no idea but the little girl, third from the left, wearing a black bolero jacket and a white skirt knows how to stand to make her legs seem more slender...a model's trick that is taught in finishing school. Of course, she is skinny enough that she doesn't really need the illusion. 8018. anomie - 12/20/2005 12:44:15 AM And the girl on the far left in red is standing in such a way to emphasise her bust and butt. All very attractive people.
Pelle: History essays? 8019. Ulgine Barrows - 12/20/2005 8:40:55 AM 8016. PelleNilsson
Well.
From the ratio of female to male, given they look too young for Nobel prizes, I'd say some sort of math or science competition.
8020. Ulgine Barrows - 12/20/2005 8:43:08 AM Involving water. 8021. wonkers2 - 12/20/2005 4:59:37 PM Swedish abstinence awards? 8022. PelleNilsson - 12/20/2005 8:24:17 PM Interesting suggestions. But the competition is about international and domestic current events, both political and cultural. There is one winner from each of Sweden's 21 regions. 8023. Ms. No - 12/20/2005 8:56:59 PM And these are the folks that made the best dioramas showing how the world would benefit from Swedish domination.
All parts and pieces obtained from IKEA. 8024. wonkers2 - 12/20/2005 10:45:42 PM Great idea. Better than a spelling bee. 8025. Frankster - 12/23/2005 7:32:07 AM I don't know if it's my favorite, but a memorable one which I can't find to save my life is Fay McKay's version of (I believe it's titled) "The 12 Drinks of Christmas", or the "The 12 Daze of Christmas" on the net or some music website. I heard it years ago and it is hilarious. Each verse contains a stronger drink, with Fay becoming more and more drunk as the song progresses. I think it was performed in front of a Las Vegas audience given where she is from and all the live laughter. 8026. Ulgine Barrows - 12/24/2005 12:03:48 PM And now we have learned about Pelle.
He can wait no longer than one day for survey results, before spilling the beans.
And they say Americans are impatient! 8027. Ulgine Barrows - 12/24/2005 12:22:22 PM Goyim Friends
All my goyim friends are making up their lists
And all my goyim friends get some pretty sweet gifts
Like snowboards, cell phones, paintball guns and iPods
Memberships to the last restricted golf clubs
But we, we will march on
Six-pack of socks from each of our Moms
It's oh so wrong
But we will march on
And all my goyim friends are eating up their ham
Honey-glazed, baked to perfection
With dinner rolls, gravy boats and turkey
Crème brulée, cherry pie, and fruitcake (yuck)
But we, we will march on
With General Tsao and egg foo yong
Takeout's not wrong
And we will march on
We have heard all of our goyim friends say
How lucky we are to get off each holiday
Like Tu BiSh'vat, Purim and Rosh Hashanah
Passover, Sukkot and Simchat Torah
And we, we have more stuff
From holiday fun
All the day long
While they have none
And we have marched on
We've got the day off
And another day off
See ya Monday!
