The Long Dark Sunshine of the Soul

The season ended, badly.
A new season starts in August, apprehensively.
What do we do now?
Watch cricket?

HAVE YOU EVER WATCHED CRICKET?
This is not a valid suggestion.

Watch baseball?

HAVE YOU EVER WATCHED BASEBALL??
(Anyway my local team seems to be called 'lastnighttheOrioles lost')
This is not a valid suggestion

Play music.
Last week I performed in a Scottish Folk band.
Playing great Scottish songs like "Molly Malone" and "All around my Hat"
In an East End accent
NOBODY NOTICED!!!

This is insane!

I will write a thesis on the intellectual development of John Lilburne. Its important; its fascinating.
NO ONE WITHIN 500 MILES HAS A CLUE WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!

Sam...Well Sam's Sam, ands I reckon he's a good thing.


HOW DO WE STAY SANE BETWEEN NOW AND THE START OF THE NEXT SEASON?

PS: It may be too late for me

Your own Heart of Darkness...

have you asked yourself WWFJD? Perhaps your answer lies in there (or perhaps not)

Goes out and slashes wrists.

The last few seasons have reminded me of what it must have been like stuck inside during one of those never ending medievel seiges. If you go out through the gates you will die and if you stay inside you'll probably die. At this point were starting to eat the bark off the trees. All eyes are on the horizon waiting for the effing cavalry to arrive. Lets just hope Sam can ride a horse.

Sorry.
I ate the horse last week.
Lets just hope Sam can ride a .... (dammit are we out of rat already?)
Lets just hope Sam can ride a....

slug?

A swallow! (Naturally that would be an African Swallow rather that the migratory european bird)
Oh and Woodcroft WTF is WWFJD? the world wildlife fund for Jewish dancing? Je ne comprende pas!

What Would Freeborn John Do?

Thats a damn good question!
It would involve women (coz women loved him, tho I doubt he was ever unfaithful to his remarkable wife)
It would be in your face.
Public, principled, proper.

Am I going to have to dance naked down the street of small town America. Surely I have the right?

Or maybe I should just sing really rude traditional songs?

Advice please

Hang gliding - get the spiders from your soul & have a little truth decay.

Spiders,ah that's it,we need a bier light to guide us.

You could take up the card game of bridge.

Or do what I did, adopt two children.

As the father of two already. I ask you do I sound crazy?

Last day of school for the kids here in MD

We have been out for 4 weeks.

Its a hard life

You are just testing us, aren't you? Molly Malone, All around my hate...Scottish folk songs?

Never watched baseball. Just rounders with gloves on.
Watch cricket. Not often, but I watch it.

You wouldn't get bored if you had a proper job, with normal holidays. Too much time on your hands mate.

My point exactly! The yanks cant tell the difference. The band is based around a large family by the name of Stuart. The mother comes from Glasgow. They wear Tartan. Their publicity describes their music a s Scots based, but no matter what they do or say they are always described in the press and by promoters as an 'Irish' band. I was asked to sit in at the last minute so ues we did Molly Malone, all around my hat, the leaving of Liverpool and a couple of Sea Shanties. Nobody noticed!

I dont even know what's going on here ^

I don't care whats going on here,I was told there would be free beer.

Reckon this All around my hate is doom metal?

Mike Bhatty Boy

Ahh recall singing this happy Burzum song on my way to the church, one of my absolute earworms

Moby. "Reckon this All around my hate is doom metal?"

Careful my friend, you are treading on my turf.

A big hit for a couple of friends of mine. I nam amazed that 'tappy toes' remembers it. I thought he was much too young, though it probably comes under 'history' over there.

Heh, I was counting on You Ed to take this

I remember it well. (tho I was very young) I play a different version with more emphasis on crime and punishment

oh and there's no e in Hat
