FNM is on the Eve of Destruction!

Locked

Tomorrow, May 21, 2011 will bring the beginning of the end of the world! Or so some say. For some, it will begin in mere minutes!

Friday Night Music subject and topic: The Eve of Destruction. The End of the World. Death. Destruction. Damnation. Anything Related.

Comment however you’d like.

I start with the title song:

Listing a [b]Good Gospel Song[/b] according to the Youngsters. 😉

I never really understood them using it as a Gospel Song or the fact that they obviously never read/comprehended the lyrics.

But I suppose there is no accounting for Brainwashed Youngsters who know no better. :^0

Throughout all of time many have said the world will end

In reply to FNM is on the Eve of Destruction!

and so far no end has come up, I heard that tomorrow at 5 pm the rapture will be upon us, personally I think not, the world will end at some point but not today or tomorrow, perhaps the day after tomorrow.

According to wikipedia:

In reply to Throughout all of time many have said the world will end

“In Christian boviscatology, the Rapture is a reference to the being caught up referred to in the Biblical passage 1 Thess 4:17, when in the End Times the Christians of the world will be gathered together in the air to meet Jesus Christ.”

What is it they say about great minds?

In reply to This is for all of us that will be left behind

But I beat you to [i]The End[/i] by 8 minutes.

In reply to What is it they say about great minds?

Well, I don’t care if you beat me. Like this song.

Farewell Aunty Jack

In reply to FNM is on the Eve of Destruction!

To beat the Rapture out of you. :0

Thats some funny stuff

In reply to Farewell Aunty Jack

Sorta reminds me of Monty Python.

Yep Aunty Jack

In reply to Thats some funny stuff

Was the Golden Gloves Boxing Champion of Woolongong hence the One Golden [i]Magic[/i] Glove.

Was on about the same time as Monty Python but as far as I knew was only shown in AU and the Rights are owned by Aunty Jack well at least Graham Bond the Actor who played Aunty Jack and wrote it.

He revived Aunty Jack for a couple of years in the UK several years latter after the AU Series finished and so far has only released the first 2 seasons on DVD. There is one episode where Aunty Jack fights to preserve the [i]Good[/i] Black & White from the invading Color Monster which obviously the people didn’t want. After all who would want to watch TV in color? 😀

That was actually the first bit of color TV shown in AU as well. 😉

I think I need a drink

In reply to FNM is on the Eve of Destruction!

If this is my last night, its time to have a good glass of wine

A true story

In reply to I think I need a drink

(Paraphrased)

Billy Joel was at an Italian restaurant and asked the waiter what kind of wine he should order. The waiter replied, “A bottle of red, a bottle of white ……….”

The song was written that night.

Oh, I didn’t know that

In reply to A true story

I guess you never know where inspiration will come from.

And for those feeling the Rapture now

Since you’re still with us, Colin . . . . . .

In reply to And for those feeling the Rapture now

….. can we assume you missed the Rapture?

How’s the destruction going on your side of the world?

Yep the batteries in

In reply to Since you’re still with us, Colin . . . . . .

The Vibrating thing went flat so I defiantly missed the Rapture. :^0

Col

You need to get the emergency vibrating thing that works without batteries

In reply to Yep the batteries in

You know – the one with the hand crank. :^0

AV

I love the footage

In reply to And for those feeling the Rapture now

Jimmy Paige on the guitar is just great stuff and I’m glad I got to see it one last time.

I can not tell a Lie

In reply to FNM is on the Eve of Destruction!

At Midday I walked out of my Computer Lab feeling full of Love for everything [i]The Rapture[/i] and saw [b]SWMBO[/b] sitting there miserably and I then apologized to her for the fact that I was going to heaven and leaving her alone in Hell as the [b]Bed Wrecker[/b] that she is, so she beat the Snot out of me and all I feel now are the 4 B’s [b]Black Bruises & Broken Bones.[/b] 🙁

Apparently now she feels really good and full of love so now she must be going to heaven and leaving me here in Hell. Glad that I’m with the fun crowd now where there is fun to be had.

Her Parting words to me can best be summed up in this

Apparently now I’m going to live so long that those people mentioned in the Old Testament will be considered as Youngsters. :^0

Col ]:)

Geez, thats tough

In reply to I can not tell a Lie

We got good tunes here in Hell. Its not all bad.

AV

Great I just love Heavy Butterfly’s

In reply to Geez, thats tough

But when I crawled out of the lab on my belly I found that [b]SWMBO[/b] had disappeared. Not sure if she has experienced the Rapture or just gone shoe shopping again.

But then again is there a difference? 😉

Now I gotta go with Nena instead. This is the English version; Ansu can dig up the original German on his own.

I remember ALL of those songs. Master Jack – it was on my list of favorites when I was ~16 years old. Wow! What a treat! I haven’t heard that in 40 years! GREAT links. How on earth did they surface in your mind?

THE TENNESSEE BIRD WALK

How did you remember these songs? I was actually a teenager who would watch Rowen and Martin’s Laugh-In one night, Dean Martin the next, and Hee Haw the next.

Wow!

Eggplant That Ate Chicago

In reply to Reponse To Answer

You may or may not believe this, but I’m both a record collector and an eBay seller. I recently listed a 45 RPM record: Eggplant That Ate Chicago by Dr. West……

It got no bids.

If you want it, Chas, I’ll give it to you.

Max

Hi Max

In reply to Eggplant That Ate Chicago

I cannot answer how my mind finds its way to old songs and links them to events and thoughts. The first time I actually used that skill was on an 8th grade English assignment on emotions. I matched up news pictures, emotions and lines from songs.

I think from following the other links I just went for the complete absurdity of the entire news event for the Rapture.

As to the Eggplant 45, if you want to part with it, I’ll accept. I do still have equipment to play them on. One of these days I plan to digitize the parts of my album and 45 collection that I could not find on CD. I even still have most of the albums that we bought CD copies of.

I also ended up with my grandparents Victrola. It needs some restoration work though.

Chas

I can only answer your last choice

Apparently the Rapture is real

In reply to FNM is on the Eve of Destruction!

I have not seen [b]SWMBO[/b] since Saturday, She’s disappeared. [b]YEA YEA YEA[/b] <:o) Now what should I tell the Police? She's gone to Heaven after experiencing the Rapture? NA I don't think that would be very cleaver. 😀 How about she's been Kidnapped by person/s unknown? OH WTH I'll just procrastinate around and forget. 😉 Now all I can say is Happy Days are here again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8twnKdXnuVY

Of course if I was to leave the Lab things may not look so rosy. :0

You know what

In reply to Apparently the Rapture is real

I saw Barbara in concert, and that guy is right on the money. Love the video. Thanks for posting that.

Poor SWMBO. You are very bad Hal. Someone has to make you miserable for the rest of your life. This is why I will never get married again. You marry a guy and you could disappear off the face of the Earth and they don’t care, they’re happy. You’re the big, bad wife (very bad). If it was your girlfriend, you’d be looking in every nook and cranny of the English Muffin, wouldn’t you.

Bad News

In reply to You know what

[b]SWMBO[/b] has just opened the Lab door and poked her head in. :_|

Apparently after returning from buying as many shoes as she could carry she has been having a party outside and didn’t want to disturb me with her merriment so she locked the LAB Door and has left me stuck inside. :-&

I was wondering why I was hearing this so often now I know and worst still I’m stuck with [b]SWMBO.[/b]

And just for that Martial Artist who remembers, Ecky Thump is still the most dangerous Martial Art ever invented even if it is practiced by the Welsh.

It’s fairly obvious that the Vogan’s didn’t turn up

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxPeIiU2kx4

But as they are noted for requiring all forms for work to be filled out in Quadruplicate at least 4,000 times and proof read to be perfect it’s fairly obvious that they are on their way when eventually the correct Paper Work is completed.

So as the objection period for the new Hyperspace Bypass has expired every extra day is a bonus that should not be expected. Make the most of them before the world disappears. :0
