Sure, I could have stayed in the past. I could have even been king. But in my own way, I am king.

Someone found out that a 100-year-old HP Lovecraft poem has the same meter as Billy Joel's piano man:


[youtube]CKKTqB_Lzv0[/youtube]

Thro’ the ghoul-guarded gateways of slumber,
Past the wan-moon’d abysses of night,
I have liv’d o’er my lives without number,
I have sounded all things with my sight;
And I struggle and shriek ere the daybreak, being driven to madness with fright.

I have whirl’d with the earth at the dawning,
When the sky was a vaporous flame;
I have seen the dark universe yawning,
Where the black planets roll without aim;
Where they roll in their horror unheeded, without knowledge or lustre or name.

I had drifted o’er seas without ending,
Under sinister grey-clouded skies
That the many-fork’d lightning is rending,
That resound with hysterical cries;
With the moans of invisible daemons that out of the green waters rise.

I have plung’d like a deer thro’ the arches
Of the hoary primordial grove,
Where the oaks feel the presence that marches
And stalks on where no spirit dares rove;
And I flee from a thing that surrounds me, and leers thro’ dead branches above.

I have stumbled by cave-ridden mountains
That rise barren and bleak from the plain,
I have drunk of the fog-foetid fountains
That ooze down to the marsh and the main;
And in hot cursed tarns I have seen things I care not to gaze on again.

I have scann’d the vast ivy-clad palace,
I have trod its untenanted hall,
Where the moon writhing up from the valleys
Shews the tapestried things on the wall;
Strange figures discordantly woven, which I cannot endure to recall.

I have peer’d from the casement in wonder
At the mouldering meadows around,
At the many-roof’d village laid under
The curse of a grave-girdled ground;
And from rows of white urn-carven marble I listen intently for sound.

I have haunted the tombs of the ages,
I have flown on the pinions of fear
Where the smoke-belching Erebus rages,
Where the jokulls loom snow-clad and drear:
And in realms where the sun of the desert consumes what it never can cheer.

I was old when the Pharaohs first mounted
The jewel-deck’d throne by the Nile;
I was old in those epochs uncounted
When I, and I only, was vile;
And Man, yet untainted and happy, dwelt in bliss on the far Arctic isle.

Oh, great was the sin of my spirit,
And great is the reach of its doom;
Not the pity of Heaven can cheer it,
Nor can respite be found in the tomb:
Down the infinite aeons come beating the wings of unmerciful gloom.

Thro’ the ghoul-guarded gateways of slumber,
Past the wan-moon’d abysses of night,
I have liv’d o’er my lives without number,
I have sounded all things with my sight;
And I struggle and shriek ere the daybreak, being driven to madness with fright.

I enjoyed that
I like the stinky pinky but only up to the first knuckle, I do not want a GD thumb up there--I've told her multiple times and I always catch her when she tries to pull a fast one---it's my butthole for Chrissakes I'm gonna know--so cut out the BS.

This Rolling Stone article on Jack White kept my interest.

I assume all musicians are complicated. He's old school complicated. Like the most interesting man in the world you'd want to punch in the face after hanging out with him for a few hours.

Heard this at the aquarium last weekend while my wife was busy defying a direct order and leading our kids directly into the gift shop. Later while she was screaming about our youngest possibly crawling into a shark tank, I was briefly oblivious to the world for a few seconds and figured out there are some great covers on this album as well.

2 person groups are the wave of the future. Daft Punk, White Stripes, Black Keys. I'm not a math person but you're cutting your chances for drama in half at least.

"2 person groups are the wave of the future. Daft Punk, White Stripes, Black Keys."

From wikipedia:

"The Black Keys are an American rock band formed in Akron, Ohio, in 2001."

"The White Stripes were an American rock duo formed in 1997 in Detroit, Michigan."

"Daft Punk are a French electronic music duo formed in Paris in 1993"

Maybe you should at least throw out some names of bands who formed in this century before you start talking about "wave of the future" (can't wait for you to point out that 2001 was in this century)...

I saw someone asking people if they wanted to go Christmas Caroling on the app Next Door (a community app).

And I thought at first, hey, that sounds found, then I thought about it a bit more and decided that was a horrible idea.

The reason I thought it sounded fun was a knee jerk reaction going back to my youth because we went Christmas Caroling around the neighborhood when we were kids and somehow I connected it to being fun, like some Hallmark Christmas moment.

But it wasn't fun, we just has such a dearth of fun things to do back then - living in backwater USA - that doing anything was better than watching Hee Haw on TV on a grey muddy winter evening

I have a tendency to look back on things with rose colored glasses, this is a situation where I took the time to accurately remember it

I'm going to send an email to that woman on Next Door and tell her to go straight to hell.
