Banned words

[Manna]

let's ban the moon too.

[lizzytysh]

If the moon goes, it seems to me the sun, stars, universe, and eternity [as a space and time construct] must follow. It's celestially only fair. Might as well throw them in the black hole, along with the black hole itself. Let them all implode together.

[Alan Alda]

let's ban the moon too.

I completely understand. But maybe there is a legitimate literary need for such a thing--such as:

My ass was white as a full moon.

There is no denying the emotional (sniff) impact of that metaphorical statement...at least upon the chair it sits...anyways, maybe just forbidding the rhyming of the word 'moon' would be more reasonable?

moon with spoon
or moonlit lagoon
just meet me soon.....................

[lazariuk]

let's ban the moon too.

Ok but how about just from 0143 GMT on Thursday until 0509 GMT

Then we can do it again in 2010

[Manna]

is that an eclipse you're planning on?

[lazariuk]

is that an eclipse you're planning on?

I go with the flow - yes

let's ban the moon too.

Oh nooo! Ye canna dae tha'! Ye canna ban the moon!

The moon's a harsh mistress and Leonard loves her.
The moon is his muesli.

They'll never, ever reach the muesli
at least not the one that we're after..

Remember? The two dwarfs in the supermarket?
When he says that, it's like Mick Jagger saying

He can't be a man 'cos he doesn't smoke
the same cigarettes as me

It's the same song! Only more healthy.

You might as well say we should ban cigarettes!

Wouldn't put me out though, I gave up just in time.

Stand up! Stand up! for Jesus.. or, as we used to say

Sit down! Sit down! for Jesus
the people at the back can't see..


"I see the moon, the moon sees me
Down through the leaves of the old oak tree
Please let the light that shines on me
Shine on the one I love

Over the mountains, over the sea,
Back where my heart is longing to be
Please let the light that shines on me
Shine on the one I love"

Do you know this song? It appeared in a BBC TV play many years
ago now (must be 8 or 9 years) and I can't remember what
the play was about but a woman sat at the piano and sang
it quite beautifully.


The victory slide
-------------------

Thunderclap on a clear day
your skin ice-shot and ripped,
down you're tipped,
into the slippery well.
How long can you stay under?

Suppose you surface in three
or five years, what will you find?
You've slid from one
generation to the next,
but the loss itself
has somehow slipped your mind?

The young admire the old - it's what they do.
My grandma, though, became a fan of George Best
and I can see had every reason to.
I love the way they do the victory slide
and Steven Gerrard in a sleeveless 'T'.
Loss is not qualified

Hey I come back from Argentina and find my friend Michael is still making the life funny here for us all. Argentina is beautiful. Spain is most beautiful of all with large full moon tonight (oh mostly sorry that I use banned word)
And Leonard may come to my country.
What would he like me to do for him?

[Sue]

What would he like me to do for him?

You must take from his most wonderful song of "Teachers", your name, that is che,
and when you leave him only tears. But is a very sad thought.
