.....and thus, another Anthony lyric inexplicably gets a second life. [Linked Image]

Boy, just when I had written this lyric off as an interesting failure (which it may still be anyway), this thread bobs back up to the surface. Back to the replies I go! [Linked Image]

Bob-- I wouldn't say that Graham "got me good." The embarrassing truth be told, I thought this was a pretty neat lyric when I posted it. Little did I know that it was a dialobical device meant to mangle the mouths of seasoned singers. [Linked Image] I'll take everything you say in good fun as long as you're admitting you've been unduly swept away by someone's praise yourself.... which I do believe you said you were, so everything's cool. [Linked Image] Thanks for stopping in again.

SexyRexy-- You make an interesting point! LOL. I'd never thought of that before. The truth is, though, there's a big double standard when it comes to penile amputation in lyric versus lopping off of female parts. John Wayne Bobbitt is kinda laughed at in American sub-society, whereas a woman in a similar situation would be looked at completely seriously. So yeah, I think there's a little room for threats of penile amputation in songs, but not much. Thanks for stopping by.

Tari-- Thanks for stopping in again. Little did you know, but you were arguing with someone who's been performing since the Beatles first met Ed Sullivan. Why, the guy is ancient-- we're talking *56* years old!!! (I'm sorry, Bob. [Linked Image] ) It's the truth, though, and because of that, I do take his critiques very seriously. That's not to say that yours aren't well-appreciated too, though. Why, witness the return gush a few posts above. [Linked Image] Thanks again for dropping in.

And Graham-- If the board history has anything to do with my and my girlfriend being on "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" last year, then, well, now Tari knows. [Linked Image] If there's any other board history afoot, I'm not immediately aware of it, though I'm sure it's something or another. Thanks for the return visit(s).
