“Get your rocks off”

“
You know, there's two ol' maids layin' in the bed,
One picked herself up an' the other one, she said:
"Get your rocks off!
Get your rocks off! (Get 'em off!)
Get your rocks off! (Get 'em off!)
Get your rocks off-a me! (Get 'em off!)"

Well, you know, there late one night up on Blueberry Hill,
One man turned to the other man and said, with a blood-curdlin' chill, he said:
"Get your rocks off! (Get 'em off!)
Get your rocks off! (Get 'em off!)
Get your rocks off! (Get 'em off!)
Get your rocks off-a me! (Get 'em off!)"

Well, you know, we was layin' down around Mink Muscle Creek,
One man said to the other man, he began to speak, he said:
"Get your rocks off! (Get 'em off!)
Get your rocks off! (Get 'em off!)
Get your rocks off! (Get 'em off!)
Get your rocks off-a me! (Get 'em off!)"

Well, you know, we was cruisin' down the highway in a Greyhound bus.
All kinds-a children in the side road, they was hollerin' at us, sayin':
"Get your rocks off! (Get 'em off!)
Get your rocks off! (Get 'em off!)
Get your rocks off! (Get 'em off!)
Get your rocks off-a me!"

“GEEK ALERT: The Witch Head Nebula (of Andromeda fame) is not fictional:
http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap061211.html

It lies just south of Rigel in the constellation Orion (his right kneecap, from our POV), approximately
1,000 light-years (6 quadrillion statute miles) from Earth.

“I think I dodged a bullet just now.


No weird ears --- but I did have to take that logic course Benedict used to teach at AC.

Assuming that P implies Q, then not Q implies not P, mother#&%!$er!  LOL”

“gives a whole new meaning to "falling rock"”

“Ever take Ralph in the Poly Sci Dept?”

“ALLRIGHT! New bouldering problems!”

“Nope, never had Ralph --- I took the standard POL101 from a long forgotten short-timer back about '77.”

“Unique to say the least. Pretty much knew everything about the City.

The best part was discussing the Articles of Consolidation...which the city still operates under.”

Messing around with the new scanner... I'm still looking for a larger scale copy of this image.  This is from a postcard I rec'd announcing a gift subscription to Sky & Telescope back in 1991.

The photo is by Allan E. Morton (Orion rising over the Tetons).


That's weird..... I've never seen an image look crappier when displayed smaller before... (???)”

“Were the moires that bad before?”

“I remember seeing a Rising NIGAL moon in the woods of SC years ago...NOT a pretty sight first thing in the morning.”

“gawd.


Had to look that one up, Treebait!  Yes... that's why I tried to display it smaller, but when I tried it at 300 it looked like a B/W checked tablecloth!  Weird.



I'll mess around with the scanner settings and see if I can really screw it up, LOL”
