[camle]

hello? my paste buffer went bye-bye on me (sigh!)

[camle]

Long as I remember
The brain been in the jar
Clouds of myst'ry pourin'
Confusion in the bar

mad men through the ages
Tryin to find some fame
But I wonder, still I wonder
Who dropped the brain

I went down the basement
Seekin' shelter from the storm
corpses on the table
I watched the candle glow
sparks and noise and screams
shattering of glass

Still I wonder, yes I wonder
Who dropped the brain

Heard the doctors cryin'
How they begged for more
Igor rushed together
Tryin' to keep calm
Still the brain is oozing
Oozing on the floor

And I wonder, still I wonder
Who dropped the brain
I wanna know, baby I wanna know


(better now? yes, but I COULD use one of M&M's martininininis. OK, maybe two or four...)

[camle]

[TheGrimReaper]

OMG!! I.... I.... I think I've been
Pinged!!

[camle]

[xsmommy]

Some coruscant legal minds got a spanking down in Tejas. Wonder if they are still offering courses on forum-shopping in law school.

[TheGrimReaper]

As the Radio City Music Hall dancers raced out the stage door, someone cried, "Who left the coruscate open???"

[xsmommy]

yeah grimmy! i think you are officially a class member now!

[TheGrimReaper]

Yes, I'm still tingling (pingling?) all over.
