mjmooney Posted January 31, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted January 31, 2013 Finnegan's Wake in Chinese??? Might make more sense, I suppose. riverrun, past Eve and Adam’s, from swerve of shore to bend of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs. Sir Tristram, violer d’amores, fr’over the short sea, had passen-core rearrived from North Armorica on this side the scraggy isthmus of Europe Minor to wielderfight his penisolate war: nor had topsawyer’s rocks by the stream Oconee exaggerated themselse to Laurens County’s gorgios while they went doublin their mumper all the time: nor avoice from afire bellowsed mishe mishe to tauftauf thuartpeatrick not yet, though venissoon after, had a kidscad buttended a bland old isaac: not yet, though all’s fair in vanessy, were sosie sesthers wroth with twone nathandjoe. Rot a peck of pa’s malt had Jhem or Shen brewed by arclight and rory end to the regginbrow was to be seen ringsome on the aquaface. The fall (bababadalgharaghtakamminarronnkonnbronntonner-ronntuonnthunntrovarrhounawnskawntoohoohoordenenthur — nuk!) of a once wallstrait oldparr is retaled early in bed and later on life down through all christian minstrelsy. The great fall of the offwall entailed at such short notice the pftjschute of Finnegan, erse solid man, that the humptyhillhead of humself prumptly sends an unquiring one well to the west in quest of his tumptytumtoes: and their upturnpikepointandplace is at the knock out in the park where oranges have been laid to rust upon the green since dev-linsfirst loved livvy. What clashes here of wills gen wonts, oystrygods gaggin fishy-gods! Brékkek Kékkek Kékkek Kékkek! Kóax Kóax Kóax! Ualu Ualu Ualu! Quaouauh! Where the Baddelaries partisans are still out to mathmaster Malachus Micgranes and the Verdons cata-pelting the camibalistics out of the Whoyteboyce of Hoodie Head. Assiegates and boomeringstroms. Sod’s brood, be me fear! Sanglorians, save! Arms apeal with larms, appalling. Killykill-killy: a toll, a toll. What chance cuddleys, what cashels aired and ventilated! What bidimetoloves sinduced by what tegotetab-solvers! What true feeling for their’s hayair with what strawng voice of false jiccup! O here here how hoth sprowled met the duskt the father of fornicationists but, (O my shining stars and body!) how hath fanespanned most high heaven the skysign of soft advertisement! But was iz? Iseut? Ere were sewers? The oaks of ald now they lie in peat yet elms leap where askes lay. Phall if you but will, rise you must: and none so soon either shall the pharce for the nunce come to a setdown secular phoenish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flamingsombrero Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 If every person that has used the City Hospital visitor car park in the last two hours had their drivers licence revoked I'm convinced road accidents would fall by half.

Xela Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 If every person that has used the City Hospital visitor car park in the last two hours had their drivers licence revoked I'm convinced road accidents would fall by half.

villaajax Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I'm just watching Looney Tunes on Channel 5 and Bugs Bunny smoked a cigarette! Won't somebody please think of the children?!

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) Oh dear baby McGrath. Sat down to watch Alien but browsed the internet a bit and discovered that My Bloody Valentine made a bold announcement that their new album will be released tonight. The cheeky gits. Plans derailed. Time to play the waiting game. Update: Website went up and crashed after two minutes. Brilliant. Update: I want to have sex with the new album.

The_Rev Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 http://youtu.be/mlTsRQyFk4c Forget the fact it was recorded on a phone by somebody in the crowd, the fact that you are probably listening to this on a laptop or the indecipherable lyrics because it's all about the SONIC BOOM! which happens a minute and a half in. The camera explodes after six minutes. For the full effect you will need about 20,000 watts of amplification or you could just pretend you are the guy in this gif. This gig is from 2008, I'd imagine those who made it out alive still have a ringing in their ears to this day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YLN Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Just ate a kiwi, skin and all. It was good. A vegan friend of mine recommended not peeling fruit and vegetables. I'm quite lazy, so naturally I have embraced the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I don't think there is a worse name in the planet than 'Keith'. Generally speaking, K is a pretty shit letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
