I guess “damnable harpy” doesn’t work as a term of endearment. The couch sure is comfy, though.
“You can see his stripes but you know he’s clean.” Dio, I checked the internets, and no one knows what you mean.
I think my new hobby is going to be beating up celebrities. I’ll start with D-List and work my way up to A-List. Should be good exercise.
I think a good A-List to beat up would be Brad Pitt, but I’m afraid that afterward I’d realize I was actually him the whole time.
In terms of the Dio lyric, the best I have ever come up with in my years of adoration of the man’s voice and music is that it’s a horrifically mixed metaphor – he’s talking about a tiger. Tigers have stripes, and it’s normal. However, if your bath tub has stripes, it’s dirty. I’m sure I’m totally wrong, but my suspicion is it’s a combination of too many fantasy novels and dirty motel rooms.
Seeing stripes can refer to someone being spotted in a Celtic Football Club jersey.
To hell with the Rangers!
Random thought: Should we all move to Honduras?
Hey, buddy, watch it. The Texas Rangers baseball team sucks, but it takes a lot of guts to be an Army Ranger. Climbing up steep cliffs under enemy fire and all that jazz.
(I have no idea what a “Celtic football” is.)
“damnabl
ey harppy”FIFY. The bed is more comfy than the couch.
It has to do with drugs. Take some LSD, listen to the song and get back to us.
Dio’s funny, his is the only heavy metal name without “effin” in it.
I mean, where do you put it? You would need two and it just sounds weird.
Ronnie Effin James Effin Dio just doesn’t have the pith.
Guys, ALWAYS buy a comfy couch. One with an attached refridgerator is best. And recliner option. You *will* need the comfy couch at some point in your life. You will say something, some time, somewhere, that will be an innocent comment (like damnable harpy, for instance) and it will be construed as insensitive or mean-spirited (whatever that is).
But take solace in the arms of your comfy couch with built-in fridge (cup holders and food tray optional). She’ll welcome and love you no matter what.
Thor, I prefer the Napper Crapper.
I think my new hobby is going to be beating up celebrities.
Sounds like fun, start with Perez Hilton and David Letterman.
#8 Frank said “celebrities” like , like, like, martha stuart. not whiny has been homosexuals.
IH8Socialist,
Technically, is Perez Hilton even an actual celebrity? I’m just sayin…
There are no “A” list celebrities in my world!
Perez and Letterman may not be real celebrities, it would just be fun to watch Frank beat the snot out of them.
I read “D-list” and “A-list” as “D-cup” and “A-cup”.
Been working on the road too long; miss the DW.
“You can see his stripes but you know he’s clean” Means that he is in prison but he is innocent
