Oh Crap! Ha-Ha! We're All Gonna Die! Ha- Ha-Ha!

“YUP! It's Official! I just got the Alert from the Weather Channel: less than a quarter-inch of ice (Maybe), and it's going to melt very quickly. But the last bit is the kicker....

ANY TRAVEL IS STRONGLY DISCOURAGED. IF YOU LEAVE THE SAFETY OF BEING INDOORS..YOU ARE PUTTING YOUR LIFE AT RISK.


How about if I wear a helmet?”

“The Sky is Falling!!!!”

“We're due for 4-7 inches of snow in the next 36 hours, starting around midnight-2 a.m.

The sky really is falling!”

“
If you go down in the woods today,
You'd better not go alone.
It's lovely down in the woods today,
But safer to stay at home....

“For every bear that ever was there
Has gathered there for certain because
Today's the day that the teddy bears have their picnic”

“Save Yourselves!!!”

“Geo, where the flip did you get that one?”

“I think that is a kids song named "The Teddy Bear Picnic".”

“That warning is for all little chickens.”

“The day after I got my driver's license we had a very heavy snowstorm with a thin underlayer of ice. They didn't cancel school (Michigan) and my parents made me drive. Much to my suprise, it was fun. Crunchy snow!”

“Yes, it is the Teddy Bears Picnic. Tilt started it and I sort of continued it. When I was a wee little tyke we had a recording of it we would play on our little record player.”

“school here was off 2 hours early and will start 2 hours late tomorrow. people are freaking out!!! IT rained here so everything is icy (I did not see any ice yet, but on the cars) I love snow! I want snow.”

“I love snow too! Problem is I live in Florida. Gotta fix that some time soon.”

“LOL, you people are so silly. Tilt, there won't be anyone in the grocery stores for days now because they all bought a ton of groceries before the storm.”

“yeah, so christmas and grocery shopping should ge pretty easy now.

(our ice storm not spose to last for more then 1 day...:(”

“1. Don't panic

2. Can I be in your will?”

“LOL@Biz!

No!”

“There was no one in the grocery store here in NJ today. Nor the Home Depot, the bank or the WalMart. Just an ordinary day with some snow forecasted.


I'm really hoping that the storm tracks further north and we get a foot of snow. The kids really want to spend some time sledding. I just wish I had snowshoes. This might just be the winter for them.”

“SNOW! YES! YES! SNOW! KICK A$$! SWEET! YES! SNOW! SNOW!”

“If I have to drive through a foot of snow to get home tomorrow night LyndyS, your name is going to be M-U-D!”

“And you won't be in my will either, Nor you Santartex!”

“must be a plot by the eevil snow corperations, cause we got some in arkieland today too. . . .much to my boys' chagrin, i doupt they close school tomorrow...”

“Well, it's after midnight and there isn't enough ice here to make an icecube, <GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR>.”

“as i recall when i lived in the snowy climes....it mostly happened like santa claus ...while you were asleep .
you thought it had missed you, but when you woke up in the morning....a
world of white and crystals....and scraping the windshield....”

“i thought this thread was about that country joe and the fish song from woodstock....except you didnt say Whoopee..”

“Well here I am,

M-U-D

checking in. Sorry Geobeet, but

I LOVE SNOW!!!

”

“Nuttin' but COLD WATER here.”

“you know its bad outside when the weatherman says sumbetch, dem roads are bad out'dar!”

“I think the revised our Winter Weather Advisory to a Cold Pruneyfinger Alert.

You folks further north try not to slide around too much...”

“Gosh, it finally warmed up in Michigan. We climbed out of the single digits, and it was actually in the 20's when I came to work today! Don't think its going to go above freezing, again, though. The snow we got on Monday still looks pretty, at least!”

“Yes, I love the stuff too and it gets me in all kinds of trouble!


For Sure OM... you almost slipped that one by me.

And it's 1-2-3...
What're we fightin' for!?



That 'warning' still cracks me up... "If you go outside, your life is in danger!" <SHEESH>”

“Uh, hey there, OM. You're kinda showing yer age there. Probably on'y Geo, DOM, Geez, & me know who CJ&F are. And most certainly never sang along with their 8-track...At the top of their lungs, I might add. Esp. "GIMME AN F. GIMMIE AN I"”

“8 track? How 'bout vinyl?????”

“Oh, yeah, still got a few of them too. Anyone care to guess what runs up & down on the cover of the Stones' Sticky Fingers albumn?”

“yeah, yeah... what about Rudy Vallee on 78 rpm? I saw a reproduction of a Victrola not long ago and they wanted 2 Grand for it.

But my all-time favorite has to be Edison's cover of "Mary Had A Little Lamb" <GRIN>...”

“And it's one two three
What're we fighting for
Don't ask me I don't give a damn
Just send me to Vietnam
And it's five six seven
Open up the pearly gates
Ain't no use in wonderin why
Whoopee we're all gonna die”

“Geo, hadda go check first, try this:

Yeah, come on all of you, big strong men,
Uncle Sam needs your help again.
He's got himself in a terrible jam
Way down yonder in Vietnam
So put down your books and pick up a gun,
We're gonna have a whole lotta fun.

chorus:
And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam;
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Well, come on generals, let's move fast;
Your big chance has come at last.
Gotta go out and get those reds —
The only good commie is the one who's dead
And you know that peace can only be won
When we've blown 'em all to kingdom come.

(chorus)

Well, come on Wall Street, don't move slow,
Why man, this is war au-go-go.
There's plenty good money to be made
By supplying the Army with the tools of the trade,
Just hope and pray that if they drop the bomb,
They drop it on the Viet Cong.

(chorus)

Well, come on mothers throughout the land,
Pack your boys off to Vietnam.
Come on fathers, don't hesitate,
Send 'em off before it's too late.
Be the first one on your block
To have your boy come home in a box.

(chorus)

That was one of the songs Adrian Cronhaeur(sp) was censored for.”

“School is being let out early but we are on the end of the bus heirarchy. I'll probably end up going to school and picking the kids up, because by the time 1:15 comes when they will board a bus, we'll have several inches of snow on the ground.”

“Lyndy gets to drive in the snow. Be safe!”

“Hey it is fun to drive in the snow. Geobeet, don't you remember doing 360's in the parking lots when you were a brand new driver?”

“Anyone care to guess what runs up & down on the cover of the Stones' Sticky Fingers albumn?"

A zipper, as in a fly on blue jeans.”

“What's up with this board? All the threads seem to alternate between snowfall and 60s flashbacks (interspersed with the occasional knockdown-drag-out).

okay G-beet. We teased 'em enough with the teddy bear references. Here's the 'compleat' lyric:


If you go down in the woods today,
You're sure of a big surprise.
If you go down in the woods today,
You'd better go in disguise.

For every bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain because
Today's the day the Teddy Bears have their picnic.

Every Teddy Bear who's been good
Is sure of a treat today.
There's lots of marvelous things to eat
And wonderful games to play.

Beneath the trees where nobody sees
They'll hide and seek as long as they please
'Cause that's the way the Teddy Bears have their picnic.

If you go down in the woods today,
You'd better not go alone.
It's lovely down in the woods today,
But safer to stay at home.

For every bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain because
Today's the day the Teddy Bears have their picnic.

Picnic time for Teddy Bears...
The little Teddy Bears are having a lovely time today.
Watch them, catch them unawares,
And see them picnic on their holiday.

See them gaily gad about.
They love to play and shout.
They never have any care.

At six o'clock their Mummies and Daddies
Will take them home to bed,
Because they're tired little Teddy Bears.


The Teddy Bears' Picnic
Jimmy Kennedy



I did see a guy try to pull that '360s in the icy parking lot' routine once in a VW Beetle. He did about 3, hit a spot of clear asphalt and went shooting off in a random direction into 2 parked cars: a Benz and a Jag. I think he might STILL be paying for that, LOL”

“Hah, hah, you are supposed to do it in an EMPTY parking lot!”

“What can I say?

I was just glad it wasn't me... For A Change!”

“360??? I almost did a couple of those coming to work this morning!”

“On which axis?

Yaw, Roll or Pitch?”

“Roll and Yaw are fairly common, but Pitch? I'd love to see that one...”

“Geo,
Trout Fishing is coming to the Keswick. They did a great show there a coupla years ago which is when I first heard Teddy Bears Picnic. If you know any youngins, maybe they can drag you along.”

“I don't know, the trees were spinning by so fast I couldn't figure it out. I just kept turning into the skid, backing off the gas, then trying to get the car going forward again. It's fun driving up a hill sideways and seeing the horror-stricken look on the faces of drivers headed the other way.”
