Tuesday Night Open Thread

Posted by on

One of the first songs I could “play” on the piano was part of “Heart and Soul.” Now, to be clear, I can’t play the piano. And what I’m calling “playing” is actually one finger hitting of notes in the approximate correct time. I’m no musician.

But, just because I can’t play music doesn’t mean I don’t like music. And because I can sort of play parts of “Heart and Soul” I do kinda like the song. And maybe you do, too.

Have you ever heard the original recording of it?

Now, what about you? What would you like to talk about? It’s Tuesday Night Open Thread and you have the floor.

What’s on your mind?

Nancy P. (Song Parody)

[High Praise! to Oppo]

Nancy P. (to the tune of “Dancing Queen“)

You’re a dunce, you can jive, having Time repeat your lies,
See that, girl? Magazines, diggin’ the Nancy P.?

Fright Night and the bar is low
Looking out for a placebo
Where they play left music, giving everything
You come in to look for a king

Anybody could be that guy
Voters young, Democrats are high
With your bitter-wreck musings, everything is fine
We’re in the mood for a dunce
And if you seize their guns…

You are the Nancy P.:
“Jung-Un’s sweet,”
I.Q. of seventeen
Nancy P.,
Feel defeat
From the Trump routine
You’re a dunce, you can jive, you’ll never do time all your life
See that grrrl, watch the screen, diggin’ the Nancy P.

You want Dreamers, you turn ’em on
Leave cities burning and then you’re gone
Looking out for another, any one will do
We’re in the mood for a dunce
And if you get their guns…

You are the Nancy P.:
“Jung-Un’s sweet,”
I.Q. seventeen
Nancy P.,
Feel defeat
From the Trump routine
You’re a dunce, but you can thrive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch ’em scream, diggin’ the Nancy P.

Icebreaker: What’s Your Earliest Memory?

Posted by on

I found a list called “The 25 most popular icebreaker questions based on four years of data“. So I’m gonna post a few, and see what happens.

Your mission: answer the question in the comments with a good story.

If you don’t have a good story, you are encouraged to make one up.

What’s your earliest memory?

Saying “hold my beer and watch this”.

Technically, it’s the last memory from a previous life, but it’s chronologically the earliest.
