RIP - Victory tradition


Escher

 

Posted

For as long as I can remember, and specifically during the golden age of Isolators, there has been a long standing tradition that doesn't appear to repeat itself this year, and possibly never again.......

Every year, for at least a week, the redneck and the cow would somehow bring up and discuss "Shark Week". Now this bored me greatly, but it felt natural. And it was like clockwork. I assume it happened about the same time every year, but whatever amount of time passed between events, when it was brought up again, it was like no time had passed at all. What made this phenomenon really interesting was not that both the redneck and the cow were actually playing.....but they were both actually on the same team.

I guess it was a simpler time, where tradition mattered. Not like these days and these newfangled changes to the world we play in. I kind of miss the old days.

Well done.

Well I bumped inside the magic man
And he laid some tricks on me
He said, "You do need help my friend"
I whispered, "Obviously"
He laid a spread of Jacks and Queens
And he bade me take my pick
But every face it had your face
I cried out, "I am sick"

Sick of hauling your love around
Want to run my train alone
But the engine tracks straight through your heart
And weighs me like a stone

Oh, it's a hard load to love you
It takes up all my time, having you
So familiar
Like last life's
Nursery rhyme

So I gave away the pictures
And your golden ring
And the phone calls you sent me
And the silver birds that sing
Then the man he told me something
That really brought me down
Your things were thrown away, it's true
But you were still in town

Sick of hauling your love around
Wanna run my train alone
But the engine tracks straight through your heart
And weighs me like a stone

Oh, it's a hard load to love you
It takes up all my time, having you
So familiar
Like last life's
Nursery rhyme

The magician let a message
It flashes when I hide
Accept the chains of loving
Accept or else remove yourself from her side
And do without her love
And I lay back with a steel chain
I keep it by my side
I could mail a letter to you but I still
Have my pride

Sick of hauling your love around
Wanna run my train alone
But the engine tracks straight through your heart
And weighs me like a stone

Three times I've sent you back from me
Three times my bones gone dry
And three times I've seen the shooting shark
Lighting up the sky

Oh, it's a hard load to love you, babe
It takes my breath away
The fourth time round
Is the last time round
There's nothing else to say

I think they got stuck on watching 1,000 ways to Die and forgot about the fishies.

The resemblance is uncanny.


Now! This is it! Now is the time to choose! Die and be free of pain or live and fight your sorrow! Now is the time to shape your stories! Your fate is in your hands!

Actually, the resemblance is very scary.

And the mental connections one can make:
- Gary Busey in Under Seige? Macaque in a dress.

Yep: VERY scary.

Did someone mention Busey?

I cancelled my wow account and have been checking out the beta in between art projects. I'll probably roll a new alt when GR comes out. I've kinda forgotten how to play this game though. O.o

I use this excuse all the time ... only I haven't taken a break from playing.

Just make sure you don't backslide when Cataclysm hits.

Ah.... I love Shark Week.

Hey there, hippy.

This summer has been a complete wash, all work and no fun, no vacation, no road trip, no City of Heroes, no Shark Week, capped off with an abscess and root canal

I plan to never let this happen again, ever!


Don't mess with Texas!
