Ooh, that was a two-fer!

But alas, not my alter-ego. I prefer to keep the politics out of TK and just talk about myself instead in great detail: me me me me me.

I'd throw in some detailed "extras" but that is all for now.

I read it, P values and all. It was not that long.

[QUOTE]I've never heard the Kookaburra song.  I still sometimes get confused when people call me kiki on here, and I think people are talking to me sometimes when I see my real name.  SN's are complicated.

Now that was wonderful.

I love that song.

I also love FFF starting in the morning. I think that should be a new thing.

I hope it gets stuck in your head every time kiki posts!

I feel stupid for knowing a different kookaburra song...

kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
merry merry king of the bush is he
laugh, kookaburra, laugh, kookaburra
how gay your life must be

I think thats the only way its gotten this long. It usually peters out around 4 most times so if it starts at 2 its not as fun.

Isn't that the second (or third) verse?  I just remember hearing it being played on Barney a lot.

crfische

Yes! That's just a different verse!

Huhhuh...you said gay.

kikibaby

Is it weird that I have never heard that?  I was even a camp counselor for 3 years.

yes!

if you listen to the 4th graders, there are clearly 3 versus. the 3rd one is about counting monkeys. haha.

JK10910

No, lilgina, that's just a different verse!  I think that's the first verse. 

I used to get them mixed up and sing:
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Eating all the gum drops he can see
laugh, kookaburra, laugh kookaburra
gay your life must be.

and I DON'T like FFF starting so early becaues by the time I get my lazy butt out of bed, I have to read 10 pages before I can contribute.  And then I don't get to discuss the things I want to discuss because they're already done.

Agreed.  I got up at 10 and this was already like... woah long.

smokeybailey

Those of us on the east coast do not like the FFF starting at 6:30 am.  It is 9 pages deep and I cannot even think of reading all of it. 
I do have a flame though.  I feel bad flaming her because she's new...

Fishieballerina tried to school me on pagan vs. christian traditions, in particular on Christmas trees.  Girrrrrl, please.  I hate when Christians get all preachy and start pulling that BS about, "Jesus is the reason for the season."  No, you just picked someone else's season and glommed on. 

flame over.

smokeybailey

Wait...it's 15 pages???!!!!

crfische

I don't like that she has FISHIE in her name. MAKE HER TAKE IT OUT.

lilgina64

oh good. I don't rememeber there being 3 verses. I totally got jipped in elementary school. lame.

gypped. ah. memories.

crfische

POTROAST.

TurtlesAllTheWayDown

This was 4 or 5 pages when I checked it at 7:30am, my time.

I also think one reason its long is because there wasn't one last week. I like the every other week rotation. More room for pent up anger!

Where's the PC police? Anyone have that thread? The good old days.

BecW2be

Well, FFF is only 7.5 old TK pages, but still, this has been fun today. I rarely flame, and it felt good!

lilgina64

I  just confirmed with my coworker who grew up two towns over from me that she learned all 3 verses. SO NOT FAIR.

and now it's stuck it in my head. damn it.

arbolita

Eh, 15 pages on this format is about 7 1/2 on the old one. And the last two pages have been about the kookabura song.

Nebb

Ahhh the days when saying gypped or retarded was considered a huge mega freaking deal. Memories!

My boyfriend is of Romanian descent so I use gyp all the time around him.  I tell him that if his people hadn't cheated so many people we wouldn't use the term. 

I am waiting for, "Oh, snap, I was white trashed!" to enter the national lexicon.

ac_in_dc

I didn't realize how hot smokey's BF was until I checked him out to see what a real-life Romanian looks like

Jewish.
