Thanks, Bet. :)

*rummuges through his files for something else amusing to help cheer Marian*

Hmmm ... well ... I posted this yesterday so some of you've probably already seen it, but what the hey.  It's not like I don't repeat myself in real life.

Ahem.

Inspired by one of your fellow Smarchers .sigs, I took a rusty, blunt hatchet to the BareNakedLadies song Alcohol and rendered it into the following song:

Shadowmarch

Shadowmarch - my permanent accessory.
Shadowmarch - a party time necessity.
Shadowmarch - alternative to feeling like yourself.
Oh Shadowmarch, I still drink to your health.

I love you more
Than I did the week before
I discovered Shadowmarch.

Forget the “penny-dreadfuls”, screw the snide literati
First “Memory” to “Thorn” for you, then “Otherland” for me.
Shadowmarch, your tales resolve like my own never will
When Shaso still has wyverns left to kill.

I love you more
Than I did the week before
I discovered Shadowmarch.

Oh Shadowmarch
Would you please forgive me?
For why I cannot write myself
I’ll read something else!

I thought that Shadowmarch was just for those with nothing else to do.
I thought that posting just for numbers was no way to pay my dues.
But now I know that there's a time and there's a place where I can choose.
To walk the fine line between self-control and self-abuse.

(Go, Go, Go, Go, Go, Go, Go!)

I love you more
Than I did the week before
I discovered Shadowmarch.

Would you please ignore
That I snuck in the back-door
Scribbling the G.E. for all?

Oh Shadowmarch
Would you please forgive me?
For why I cannot write myself
I’ll read something else!

Would you please forgive me?
Would you please forgive me?

Cordially,

*hugs ET, red, and Bet for being such fabulous people to cry to*

And laugh with.

Ah Marian - I'm always glad to help!  Life should consist of more smiles than tears (and tears should be the result of an overabundance of joy!)  Alas that sometimes it is not so.  Thus, my enjoyment of the small pleasure of brightening another's day.

Cordially,

ElderTurtle (P.o.W.)

*looks back through the Fountain happenings and laughs*

Man, we were pretty awful last night, weren't we?

Marian!

EH!  AH!  OI!  AIRHOSE!

*points with a shaking finger back at the "Quillers Mint: The Fountain" topic.*

 

[b]I read an article about a book that discusses bestiality and how it's making a comeback.
*really must watch the topics she introduces to late-night talks if she wants to maintain her oh-so-innocent image*

Sheesh!  You're getting to be as bad as Nolan!

(or me.)

Y'all really were being naughty last night.

Cordially,

What's even more amazing is that I chose a page at random out of the middle of the Fountain topic!  If that's an example of the normal line of thought running through last night's discourse, well then ... the topic may have been The Fountain, but the minds were still in the previous topic: The Gutter!

And I missed it!

*sob*

Cordially,

ElderTurtle (P.o.W.)

I highly recommend pages 13-14.

*peers after the retreating ET*

We probably should have stopped him for his own good.

I think that kehv's hydra heads are growing back at an exponential rate.  He's checked in twice, then gone both times.

*sends happy vibes kehv's way*

I should toddle off to bed, seeing as it is 4:30 in the morning here.

Night smarchers, have a good weekend.
:)

Hmmm.  English is a very strange language.  Just consider:

If a "vegetarian" is someone who eats only vegetables, what, then is a "humanitarian?"

Makes me glad I'm a native speaker.

Cordially,

ElderTurtle (P.o.W.)

haha
*hangs head and sneaks off to bed*

*laughs at fountain victims*

I tried to warn you!

footle, why sleep when you can smarch?  Seriously, I am getting tired, but am okay.  It's the weekend, so I can do crazy stuff like this!
