I was listening to the TV the other day, and I got all excited. "Next on the Goth Channel!" OMG, I thought, how cool! a Goth Channel!

. . .

come to find out it's the Golf Channel.

What a letdown!

Next comes the Paint Drying Channel!

Are you British?

Cloud · 02-20-2007, 10:57 PM

nuh uh. Not hot and dry, there, tis it?

02-20-2007, 11:04 PM

Hot an' humid as Cleopatra's panties.

whilst trying to decipher Mr. Angry R's epistles, I cycle through:

1) Well, Cleopatra lived in Egypt which was hot, but not humid.

?

2) Okay, but Cleopatra's DEAD which would make for dry and dusty/

?

3) Did Cleopatra even wear panties?

?

4) And, hey! Speaking of Egypt, I downloaded the Nile theme on my desktop and now it burbles middle-easterny musically whenever I get an email.

>>>>

None of which takes me any closer to faint understanding.

I live in Texas, bub. Why?

British kids pronounce goth, "goff".

Cloud · 02-20-2007, 11:39 PM

Goth Golf? I assume that instead of using the holes on the course, they just pierce the holes themselves.

Quel fromage!

Hmm... Egypt, hot and humid...

The sexual life of the Camel
Is stranger than anyone thinks
In transports of amorous passion
He's been known to make love to the Sphinx
But the Sphinx's posterior channel
Is silted in with the sands of the Nile
Which accounts for the hump on the Camel
And the Sphinx's inscrutable smile.

[one bar of tinkly piano]

"And they were singing
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good ol' boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing 'this will be the day that I die.'"

Ahh yeah, like the world needs a channel devoted to people who are already sad. I was "Goth" before it was "trendy", remember Morrisey? The Cure (in the late 80's early 90's). What could possibly be next? The EMO channel?
