The Isolated Blurt Thread

I'll have to wait until it stops pulsing. Maybe if I tug on it a little, starting here at the base, squeezing my fist as I pump upward...?

 

[Byron In Exile]

are you channeling LN?

Monty Python, dear.

Your country's only contribution to the world during the 20th century.

Well. The Beatles.

But that's it.

discovering DNA, van morrison, the green wing, punk rock...

 

[where]

Well. The Beatles.

But that's it.

[Byron In Exile]

Well. The Beatles.

But that's it.

Okay.

The Beatles, The Who, and Monty Python.

And ELP.

But that's all.

 

[Sean]

The aqueducts.

 

[Byron In Exile]

The aqueducts.

Well, obviously the aqueducts. And the roads.

They sort of go without sayin', don't they?

 

[Sean]

Well, obviously the aqueducts. And the roads.

And sanitation, Reg. Remember what the city used to be like?

 

[Byron In Exile]

And sanitation, Reg. Remember what the city used to be like?

Alright, alright... but apart from sanitation, medicine, education, irrigation, public health, roads, a freshwater system, baths, and public order... what have the Romans ever done for us??

 

[firespin]

Well. The Beatles.

But that's it.

They said obvious things in trite ways set to a good beat with nice voices over some good to mediocre songs with about as much depth as a People magazine.

 

[Sean]

Alright, alright... but apart from sanitation, medicine, education, irrigation, public health, roads, a freshwater system, baths, and public order... what have the Romans ever done for us??

Peace?

 

[firespin]

How did you account for Toga parties?

 

[Byron In Exile]

Peace?

Oh, pfffft. "Peace..."

Oh yeah, I'll tell you something
I think you'll understand
When I say that something
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand

Oh, please, say to me
You'll let me be your man
and please, say to me

You'll let me hold your hand
Now let me hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand

Wowzy wow wow. Such depth. Such meaning. I feel my social culture changing by this mirror being held up to my human condition.

 

[Batch]

Well, obviously the aqueducts. And the roads.

They sort of go without sayin', don't they?

And tea.

 

[Holy Devil]

And tea.

Batchuhus? Sure you're on the right thread? The trolls just copied Laurels thread to create their own watering hole. *chuckle*

 

[Byron In Exile]

And tea.

Not Roman, so much, but hey: it's been 2000 years.

If they don't lighten up now, when will they?

 

[firespin]

Oh yeah, I'll tell you something
I think you'll understand
When I say that something
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand

Oh, please, say to me
You'll let me be your man
and please, say to me

You'll let me hold your hand
Now let me hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand

Wowzy wow wow. Such depth. Such meaning. I feel my social culture changing by this mirror being held up to my human condition.

In all fairness, Abbey Road was the masterpiece. Who can forget this immortal poetry, which truly spoke for a generation:

"Here come old flattop he come grooving up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeball he one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker he just do what he please "

"I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden in the shade
He'd let us in, knows where we've been
In his octopus' garden in the shade "

"Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right "

"She came in through the bathroom window
Protected by a silver spoon
But now she sucks her thumb and wanders
By the banks of her own lagoon"

"Boy, you gotta carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you gotta carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time"

But, in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.

 

[PenforPrez]

Well. The Beatles.

But that's it.

Or Winston Churchill. Margaret Thatcher. The Mini. A lot of influential things have come out of Britain in the last century.

 

[PenforPrez]

Alright, alright... but apart from sanitation, medicine, education, irrigation, public health, roads, a freshwater system, baths, and public order... what have the Romans ever done for us??

The Romans developed concrete as well. Which was lost for almost 1500 years after Rome's collapse.

 

[Isid]

Why a duck?

what kind of duck?

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

what kind of duck?

People who don't get Marx Brothers references should go to their room and think about what they did.

I guffawed.
