.....AND THE BAND PLAYED WATZING MATILDA

Posted almost 4 years ago
Sometimes, but not too often, I dislike being left alone with my thoughts. They can be an evil bunch, ganging up on me, overwhelming me, leaving me see to seek the sanctuary of music.>>>The music must be complementary to the mood one seeks.>>>There are folks who will drink themselves blind in the coming twenty-four hours. They are myriad, from every walk of life and every social strata.>>>On May 19th 2008, A report of a study cosigned by 37,000 plus scientists, including 9,000 PHD's was turned into the EPA. There findings conclude, conclusively that there is no evidence that anything we do as a species can reverse global warming because we are in no way involved. Didn't hear about that on the networks, huh?>>>Every year for the past fifty years polar bear populations have grown. The completely apolitical court decided that they are a threatened species. Cool.>> **The Pogues** have imbued this track with a heartbreaking ethos, sad, resigned yet defiant, embracing fate in a bear-hug-death-grip, determined to go down fighting knowing you can't win.If anyone is still reading at this point, a question.??Does your chewing gum lose it's flavor on the bedpost overnight???

    inrumford says Not at all, and the bedpost isn't to bad either (constructed entirely of recycled materials, of course) No matter the time of day, I think Shane has a heads up on me in terms of getting blind drunk, but a good tune to start off Saturday

    Bartleby says Like you, I always stick my bedpost on a chewing gum before going to bed. It helps hold the bedframe together. As irumford said, Shane can teach us all one thing or two about ethylic beverages and orthodontia.

    Madeline Burke says I had this gum made in China and it ate the finish off the bedpost over night.

    ivylander says A great song. It brings a lump to my throat every bloody time I hear it..... DM, not to poop in the punch bowl here, but that global warming citation turns out to be a bit factually suspect. I went to the EPA Web site to get more information, only to discover that if this report was in fact there, it was so well hidden as to be unfindable by the average net surfer. This is not an instance of the MSM trying to suppress information it doesn't like. Then I found the probable source for your information, the Wired blog, in which Dr. Bruce West, with the Army Research Office (which has, so far as I can ascertain, nothing to do with the EPA), "argued that 'changes in the earth’s average surface temperature are directly linked to ... the short-term statistical fluctuations in the Sun’s irradiance and the longer-term solar cycles.' "In an advisory to bloggers entitled 'Global Warming: Fact of Fiction [sic],' an Army public affairs official promoted a conference call with West about 'the causes of global warming, and how it may not be caused by the common indicates [sic] some scientists and the media are indicating.' "In the March, 2008 issue of Physics Today, West, the chief scientist of the Army Research Office's mathematical and information science directorate, wrote that 'the Sun’s turbulent dynamics' are linked with the Earth's complex ecosystem. These connections are what is heating up the planet. 'The Sun could account for as much as 69 percent of the increase in Earth’s average temperature,' West noted. "It's a position that puts West at odds with nearly every major scientific organization on the planet. 'The American Meteorological Society, the American Geophysical Union, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science all have issued statements in recent years concluding that the evidence for human modification of climate is compelling,' Science magazine observes. So has the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize with Al Gore, for their work on global warming." OK, so that seems to link up with the information you got. But at the end of this explanation, the following has been inserted: [UPDATE: West himself said during a Thursday conference call that global warming is at least partially man-made -- and maybe as much as "70 percent" due to human intervention.] So it would appear we're not off the hook after all....

    mitchy says My chewing gum goes hard on the bedpost and takes a bit of chewing the next day. I have trawled the addled? depths of my mind and i also remember as a child being told to put my chewing gum behind my ear for safe keeping-thank the fashions of the time for crewcuts
