they wouldn't live that long if they didn't

Popsongs do live long, why's that?

well, it would seem so, but they don't, actually

i read an article about a number of popular composers in earlier centuries that are now completely forgotten

and i remember the question: who will go down in history from our age? the beatles? bob dylan? abba? the bee gees?

only time will tell - an we'll not be around to hear it

maybe that is even a blessing?

Oh sure, just think how could we explain the next generations stuff like madonna or m.jackson.

ah, don't worry. we have darwinists to explain that

Ah that's what we have them for!

I had a dilema; my shop delivered too many pints The delivery man said they could take some back.

my dilemma is the difficulty in wrapping my poor brain around a concept like "too many pints"

is there even such a thing

I can ease your trouble - no, there isn't such thing.

"too many pints" ... I'm gone for a day or so and immediately you people are fleeing into stuff like lsd? you'll convince me that Alice was around here ..

i only saw a white
























and a few pink elephants

.. right ... well that's clear enough

Ah good, so everything is still normal.

"yes indeed, everything is back to normal" said the hairy hippo

.. who on earth could dream up a bearded slobbering hippopotamus sitting at a bar?

Does he need to be dreamt up?

Suppose will come in useful. I could have a bath in it. They delivered 66 pints.

bathe in ?? sacrilege!

You can drink it afterwards.
