I've decided to turn over a new leaf in my life.

From now on, no more forgive-and-forget.

Anyone -- and I mean anyone -- that wrongs me will be summarily pwned.

 You're turning over a new leaf? You sure it's not an old leaf, and you're only just now turning it? That would make it seem like a new leaf. But it would still actually be an old one.

crazy.

Certainly, they spent over three million dollars and got a tenner back, I earn better rewards than that on my Tesco Clubcard.

On the real though i'd love to own that collection, it says individually its worth over fifty million, it makes my record collection look like a box of junk.

e-bay was a terrible place to auction such an item. Sotheby's or Christie's would've been far more appropriate to reach the target demographic.

In song lyrics, I like to replace the word "hand" with "ham" wherever it occurs.  It makes for particularly funny songs that way.  For example, Jerry Cantrell's song "Jesus Hands".


If you ever torch your bridges
If you're ever past the starlight
If you're ever unassured
Forever you will burn
As you sleep unearthly grace
Lay Jesus hams upon your face
To this sea you've been shot down
Now find the shore, it can be found
Can be found
Can be found
If you ever crack your small mind
If you're ever much disturbed
If you ever reach the shore
Forever be your turn
As you sleep unearthly grace
Lay Jesus hams upon your face
To this sea you've been shot down
Now find the shore, it can be found
Can be found
Can be found

Put your ham in the ham of the man who stilled the water.
Put your ham in the ham of the man who calmed the sea.
Take a look at yourself, and you can look at others differently.
Put your ham in the ham of the man from Galilee.

Oh yeah, I'll tell you something
I think you'll understand
When I'll say that something
I wanna hold your ham
I wanna hold your ham
I wanna hold your ham

Oh please, say to me
You'll let me be your man
And please, say to me
You'll let me hold your ham
I'll let me hold your ham
I wanna hold your ham

And when I touch you I feel happy
Inside
It's such a feeling that my love
I can't hide
I can't hide
I can't hide

Yeah, you've got that something
I think you'll understand
When I'll say that something
I wanna hold your ham
I wanna hold your ham
I wanna hold your ham

And when I touch you I feel happy
Inside
It's such a feeling that my love
I can't hide
I can't hide
I can't hide

Yeah, you've got that something
I think you'll understand
When I'll feel that something
I wanna hold your ham
I wanna hold your ham
I wanna hold your ham

BUGGER! I WAS ABOUT TO POST THAT ONE!

Anyway...

All men have secrets and here is mine
So let it be known
For we have been through hell and high tide
I think I can rely on you ...
And yet you start to recoil
Heavy words are so lightly thrown
But still I'd leap in front of a flying bullet for you

So, what difference does it make?
So, what difference does it make?
It makes none
But now you have gone
And you must be looking very old tonight


The devil will find work for idle hams to do
I stole and I lied, and why?
Because you asked me to!
But now you make me feel so ashamed
Because I've only got two hams
Well, I'm still fond of you...

Oh-ho-oh!

(dang, I'll have to dig out that Smiths LP when I get home -- love this track SO MUCH)

I'm a fan of "pants" in the place of the subject of movie titles/popular movie lines.  I haven't tried out pants in songs.  I guess that's sort of old ham hand by now.

I like to occasionally rewrite songs.  I probably shouldn't post this here to avoid copyright issues, but what the hell.


Come on home a drinkin'
rewritten by: dcrog
Original Lyrics: Don't Come home a drinking. (Loretta Lynn - Peggy Sue Wells)



Well I sat up a waitin' on you
 Till’ you came home last night
You'd been out with all the girls
 and you ended up half tight

Liquor and love that’s just the mix
 That does it every time
So come on home a drinkin'
 with lovin' on your mind

Yeah come on home a drinkin'
 with lovin' on your mind
We’ll play right here on the couch
 After closing time.
Cause if you want that kind of love
 To me you know that’s fine
So come on home a drinkin'
 with lovin' on your mind

[ steel - guitar ]

I never take you anywhere
 because you're always gone
Many a night I wait right here
 Sometimes until the dawn
Then you come in a kissin' on me
 I love it every time

So come on home a drinkin'
 with lovin' on your mind

Yeah if you come home a drinkin'...
Please have lovin' on your mind
Pretty Please.


I really like to follow someone doing the original version on Karaoke night.
