h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

OH!!! SO you are telling me that I CAN'T come to the great celebration!??

I can have you de-mused, you know!!! You'll be in the cold, a beggar, a lesser being!!! JUST as you were when you found the warm halls of the Musehome!!!



Of course, I could never do that... I'll go repent now... But do I repent here, or at the Church of Erato!?? And what is my sin!??

I have never said anything against Mozart - I was just admitting and stating how terrible the song "Good Ship Lollipop" was.

<BB<

:: puts on little girly voice ::

On the good ship Lollipop - It's a nice trip to the candy shop
Where Bon-bons play, on the sunny beach of Peppermint Bay

It has to be acknowledged that there is a thematic thread forward from the Good Ship Lollipop to the Beatles Yellow Submarine. It can be traced back to HMS Pinafore. All the way back to Winken Blinken and Nod sailing off in a wooden shoe. They have in common a landlubbers' kid-sized, sugar-sweet notion of life aboard.
But 'rub-a-dub-dub three men in a tub' was never quite the fun time mothers would have the kiddies believe. No, those who go down to the sea in ships should not include Shirley Temple or Sargeant Pepper.
Look what happened to Gilligan and the Skipper!

*OH God, I didn´t get half of what the posting said... I do still lack a lot of british/american background... What luck I have lived in Germany so long. I´ve always got an excuse... Better put on some intrest in what he wrote... otherwise they might think I´m not worthy... and this isn´t evan Waynes World, and it wasn´t Alice Cooper righting, was it... Oh, well*

Hey, very interesting, jwf...

Heading back to the topic of Paul's engagement, am I the only Beatles fan dedicated enough to own the Paul McCartney and Heather Mills single "Voice"?

<BB<

Woah. I think so.

Another big year for the BEATLES....

Heather Mills is the one-winged lady he's gonna marry right?
They did a tune together?
Do you think they'll start a new band?
He's done wings, maybe breasts or drumsticks.

*Should apologise to Englander for being so esoteric - or at least so Anglo/American pop-centric - but most of the people I meet at h2g2 are Brits or American and would have known HMS Pinafore is a Gilbert and Sullivan musical using the Royal Navy as a comic vehicle, just as Shirley Temple was an American sweetheart who sang about the Good Ship Lollipop wearing layers of crinolins under her Pinafor while skipping merrily and licking a lolly, and well, the Yellow Sub is the Yellow Sub (aka U-42) - no I'm not Alice Cooper - Alice is a punk kid from my persepctive - a johnny-come-lately pop-icon freak-merchant - but if Englander's an Alice fan he might put a hex on me - and I'm way to old to be fending off hexes.*

*I will now only have to go and look up, what a pinafor is...*

Hey, jwf, I like reading minds.

Paul's new band should be called Thighs... hahahaha...

Why don´t I know anything about this biology of the beatles???

(Is it true? Beatles grow Wings, and in the longrun :Thighs or any other limb???)

Does that mean that John Lennon had reconstructive surgery? Hence the "Plastic" Ono Band? Surely he wasn't the Michael Jackson of his day!

<BB<

That would meen, Ringo is on his way to the sky, as he´s got to do with the All Starrs...

Any suggestions for George?

I suggest George come to CO and give me a hug!!!

RINGO STARR WAS ON GOOD MORNING AMERICA THIS MORNING!!!

MY MOTHER TAPED IT FOR ME!!! YAY!!!

Just shows how neccessary a musegrandmom is

Everytime someone mentions John Lennon's darkside days in New York I always remember a story I read in either the Village Voice or Rolling Stone. Which obviously then may or may not be true. Anyway, Lennon had banged his head (maybe) and had put a feminine napkin on his forehead as a band-aid before staggering off to a restaurant where he was ignored by the waitresses as a longhaired-bearded-wierdo-drunk.
"Hey do you know who I am?" he reportedly bellowed.
"Yeah," answered the sweet young thing, "you're some a88hole with a Kotex pad on his head."

peace brethren
