Song of the Indeterminate Time Period, 16 February 2K6

I'm thinking of thinking of calling her right
After my afternoon nap
I'm thinking of thinking of sending her flowers
Right after Bonnie gets back
So many fishies... left in the sea
So many fishies... but no one for me
I'm thinking of thinking of hooking a love
Soon after supper is done

-- performed by Ambassador G'Kar (Andreas Katsulas) in the Babylon 5 episode "The Parliament of Dreams"

First Rich Biggs And Now This...

Anyone who knows me for any real length of time knows I'm a dyed-in-the-wool sci-fi geek. ("Nate, give Jay back his AIM name!") And one of my all time favorite shows is still Babylon 5, based in no small part on the continuing byplay between ambassadors Londo Mollari and G'Kar.

So imagine my surprise whilst forum browsing that I get this news.

JMS says it so much better than I can at the moment.

Song of the Indeterminate Time Period, 9 February 2K6

Please allow me to adjust my pants
So that I may dance the good time dance
And put the onlookers and innocent bystanders into a trance

Give disease so the swine will marry and propagate lies
Tough luck for elected officials
The beast you see got fifty eyes
Bring it on home, spread the wealth
Play it cool, the hand's been dealt
Now all the odds are in our favor
Save the victory speeches for later

Streets on fire, the mob goes wild wild wild
Streets on fire, the mob goes wild

Twenty-one guns, box made of pine
Letter from the government sealed and signed
Delivered Federal Express on your mother's doorstep

Twenty-one guns, box made of pine
Letter from the government sealed and signed
Delivered Federal Express on your mother's doorstep

Condoleeza Rice is nice, but I prefer A-Roni
And that man on the T.V. who speaks to the dead
You know that man's a phony
Everybody move to Canada and smoke lots of pot
Everybody move to Canada right now
Here's how we do it:
Bum rush the border guard before he and his dog ever knew it

Streets on fire, the mob goes wild wild wild
Streets on fire, the mob goes wild

Twenty-one guns, box made of pine
Letter from the government sealed and signed
Delivered Federal Express on your mother's doorstep

Twenty-one guns, box made of pine
Letter from the government sealed and signed
Delivered Federal Express on your mother's doorstep
