Warren I feel the same way often. Especially when certain people keep ragging me about my verbal diarrhea :yup:

My solution is just to find something else of interest and keep posting until I feel loved again. Don't worry about it, no-ones suddenly gone off you. You've probably just had the misfortune lately of posting on topics where the general interest was dying already.

I certainly find your posts interesting and articulate.

Farren, you don't have verbal diarrhea, you have polyloquacity ... hypertaxia ... or something cool like that. :D

Warren, know the feeling - I've also had posts overlooked - and I've overlooked some myself (I only know because I discover them days later). Unaccountable, unless we can blame it on the much-maligned treatment of unread flags in vB software.

Anyway, I'll be the one to kill this thread.

Personally, I've gotten used to it. If you make it to the Gathering warrenly, look for the nearly invisible guys sitting by themselves in the corner. That'll be me and JoeP and wade-w. I'll have a box of Imodium for Farren...just in case... :D

You have responded in a sensitive and thoughtful way to things I have written. What more could I ask for?That never occurred to me at all. I think I'm such a hack and a ham sometimes.

Congratulations, Roxy! Warren, you crazy.SHS band came in 9th out of 10 finalists. Damn. They put on a good show. This is their first year using much in the way of props. The Band Boosters Club built a house and fence rails to simulate the "Home on the Range", which was the theme. They played music from the Disney cartoon feature of the same name, finishing off with a piece that contained the theme from the Magnificent Seven, with a bit of Aaron Copeland thrown in for good measure. They did well.

The big winner for the night was Broken Arrow... as usual. Broken Arrow High School has over 5000 students. Compare that to Sapulpa's <1200. The BAHS competition band is an elite squad composed of the best of the best. I wouldn't be surprised if they don't recruit from outside their district, I know they do for football. In one case, alumni bought a house and paid the moving expenses for a football star's single mom to get them to move into the district. Scandalous! But, it's reality in Oklahoma.

That sounds great to me. I can't believe how complex these kinds of productions have to be in order to make the grade. If fence rails and houses get you 9th place, what in the hell did the Broken Arrow bastards (we hates them, yessss) do?

Hey, incidentally, does anybody ever actually do the stuff from the musical Oklahoma in Oklahoma, or is that just too banal even for y'all?

If fence rails and houses get you 9th place, what in the hell did the Broken Arrow bastards (we hates them, yessss) do?I don't even remember. I do remember thinking at the time of their performance, they were way better than any other band there. The point totals showed it too. The difference between 10th place and 4th place was only 8 or 9 points. Third place Mustang High School (near OKC) scored something like 6 points above 4th. Second place Union High School (another school like Broken Arrow and right next door to them, 3000 strong and recruits from out of district), with their flag corps/color guard dressed up like Vegas showgirls, scored about 8 points above Mustang. Broken Arrow scored 9 points higher than Union. They were that good. Yes, we hatesssss them, we do.

Mustang's program was cool too. They had their flag corps wearing all black with a black watchcap, like burglars. The theme was "Catch Me if You Can". The last song they played was the intro music for the movie of the same name. It was cool.

One band that didn't even make the cut to the finals, Coweta (another character in Star Wars Phantom Menace, I think) had a really good small band program that featured four Beethoven numbers. Beethoven in marching band? It worked. Beethoven's 5th wove it all together, with Fur Elise, Moonlight Sonata and Pathetique thrown in. Poor Coweta, they had fewer members in their band than Broken Arrow has flaggettes (flag corps) and no props. However their sound was great and they did win their division, 3A schools, they just didn't make the finals.

Hey, incidentally, does anybody ever actually do the stuff from the musical Oklahoma in Oklahoma, or is that just too banal even for y'all?Yea, last year one band did. They all play the song Oklahoma before football games right after The Star Spangled Banner. It is the state song after all. Less than five miles from my house is an outdoor theater, Discoveryland, that puts on the musical Oklahoma every other day all summer long, alternating with Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.

This might be a combination of taking this thread too seriously and stating the obvious (if not other things as well) so I'll hedge my bets by being mostly facetious:

There's no such thing as thread killing!

Threads rarely run in a purely linear fashion, with each new poster responding to the last. Usually new respondents answer any random point that jumps out at them. So when people stop posting in a thread it's typically an indication of lost interest in the thread as a whole, not just in the last post. And if you disagree, take it up with the first couple people who made a similar point that I'm just totally ripping off here.

Besides liv's right. She's the thread-killer extraordinaire. :P

stephen King wrote Rage, The Long Walk, The Runningman, Thinner and Roadwork all under Richard Bachman and he was going to release Misery under the same name.

The Long Walk is a delightful tale about 100 16-21 year old males who walk at I think 4 miles an hour and if you dont keep pace you get shot, last man walking wins.

A zombie thread would be one that is dead but appears to be alive. Rather like this one. If it comes back to life it isn't a zombie. So, when is a thread dead? If it hasn't had any posts for a week? A day? A minute? I nominate liv as the thread-killer on the basis that she's made 1,636 posts and thereby killed threads for at least a few seconds that many times.

What about euthanasia? Does this thread have a right to die in peace and dignity? We're keeping it alive against its wishes. At least what its wishes could be if it could have wishes. And express them. I know this.

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Dylan Thomas

Favourite. Poem. Ever. I love that poem.
Your confidence is surprising in light of your inability to kill this thread, Okie.
It ranks up there for me as well. I believe that I own the entire collection of Dylan Thomas works.

My favorite line ever is from Dylan Thomas' Fern Hill:
Time held me green and dying
Though I sang in my chains like the sea.

Much like this thread, it talks about the inevitability of death, despite how hard one may fight it.

BTW, since this thread has morphed ino a MIGHTY MORPHING POWER RANGER... wait, no it hasn't. Its morphed into a poetry appreciation thread - I have to add that

A ) I'm drunk, and

B ) I have a hard time deciding whether Dylan Thomas is the best every, or the wry political satire of Dryden is betterer:

In pious times, ere priestcraft did begin,
Before polygamy was made a sin;
When man on many multiplied his kind,
Ere one to one was cursedly confined;
When nature prompted and no law denied
Promiscuous use of concubine and bride;
Then Israel's monarch after Heaven's own heart,
His vigorous warmth did variously impart
To wives and slave; and, wide as his command,
Scattered his Maker's image through the land.

I agree. Sorry about your books. :(

Here's one that always sticks around for good reason as well--

Ozymandias
By Percy Bysshe Shelley

I met a traveller from an antique land,

Who said--"Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desart....Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings,
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away."

Just like the remains of this thread will one day be lost among the vast wasteland of the internet...

B ) I have a hard time deciding whether Dylan Thomas is the best every, or the wry political satire of Dryden is betterer:
But you must agree that Monty Python beats all with his many poems and lyrics like:

"Every Sperm Is Sacred"
There are Jews in the world, there are Buddists,
There are Hindus and Mormons and then
There are those that follow Mohammad, but
I've never been one of them.

I'm a Roman Catholic,
And have been since before I was born,
And the one thing they say about Catholics is
They'll take you as soon as you're warm.

You don't have to be a six footer,
You don't have to have a great brain,
You don't have to have any clothes on,
You're a Catholic the moment Dad came, because

Every sperm is sacred,
Every sperm is great,
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

Every sperm is sacred,
Every sperm is great,
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

Let the heathen spill theirs,
On the dusty ground,
God shall make them pay for
Each sperm that can't be found.

Every sperm is wanted,
Every sperm is good,
Every sperm is needed,
In your neighborhood.

Hindu, Taoist, Morman,
Spill theirs just anywhere,
But God loves those who treat their
Semen with more care.

Every sperm is sacred,
Every sperm is great,
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

Every sperm is sacred,
Every sperm is good,
Every sperm is needed,
In your neighborhood.

Every sperm is useful,
Every sperm is fine,
God needs everybody's,
Mine, and mine, and mine.

Let the pagans spill theirs,
O'er mountain, hill and plain.
God shall strike them down for
Each sperm that's spilt in vain.

Every sperm is sacred,
Every sperm is good,
Every sperm is needed,
In your neighborhood.

Every sperm is sacred,
Every sperm is great,
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

AND

"Sit on my Face" from "Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl"

Sit on my face, and tell me that you love me.
I'll sit on your face and tell you I love you, too.
I love to hear you moralize,
When I'm between your thighs;
You blow me away!

Sit on my face and let my lips embrace you.
I'll sit on your face and let my love be truly.
Life can be fine if we both sixty-nine,
And we'll sit on our faces in all sorts of places and play,
'Till we're blown away!

Monty Python does, indeed, beat all; Although I have to add that, since there us no individual that is called "Mothy Python", the pronoun "he" is inappropriate. Monty Python is a team of people rather than a single "he".

I will say that John Cleese and Eric Idle are brilliant.Have you heard the FCC Song (http://www.pythonline.com/plugs/idle/index.shtml) , Eric Idle's (a naturalised US citizen) response to the ruling against Howard Stern?

All of this chicken imagery reminds me of playing Doom waaaay back in my undergraduate days. I was sharing a dorm room with my friend Sherman (yes, the same Sherman that I'm having the "Chicken Butt" wars with), and we connected our computers together with a null-modem cable so that we could play deathmatch on Doom.

Well, there was a mod for Doom that replaced the rocket launcher with the shoulder-mounted chicken launcher (the same weapon damage-wise, but the crosshair is in the center, the weapon is mounted off to the right, and chickens fire out instead of rockets).

So, my favorite strategy was to lay real still and quiet....find a place to sit. When Sherman (or whomever I was battling) came within sight, I'd sneak up behind them. Now, all this time, there's very little actual noise being made...the occasional tapping of keys and some breathing.

But when I was behind my target and had a good shot, I'd scream out a shrill BUCK-OCK!!!!!!!! as I fired a chicken. They'd be so startled by the noise, that they wouldn't have time to turn around or do much of anything before being hit and splattered. :D

In Heretic you there was some kind of magical missile weapon that turned the other player into a chicken, who you could then blow up with a conventional weapon, producing a satisfying explosion of feathers. Of course in chicken form you could still scurry around and peck people (to death if you did it enough). This resulted in some hilarious gameplay because accomplished players could were quite adept at running around your legs in this disadvantaged state avoiding your subsequent shots and pecking you slowly to death.

I was going to create a new thread for this but since we're doing feathers, and things long dead, here is strangely appropriate:

Tyrannosaurus rex had feathers.

I repeat, T. rex, the monster king of the tyrant lizards, conceivably had feathers, at least in the juvenile form. Definitely one of his ancestors had feathers. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3726370.stm) Seems like the evolution of feathers was a way for small warm-blooded dinosaurs to conserve body heat - and not necessarily anything to do with flying.

Theres this little psychological trick someone once demonstrated to me where you get told a long line of bullshit then asked to close your eyes and quickly think of a colour. 90% of people pick "Orange" (I did). Something to do with how the visual cortex works, I think.

Anyway, I'm wondering if there isn't possibly a similar neurological reason why these kinds of threads always return to the subject of chickens at some point.

Thread-killing is not a black and white thing. I note that farren killed this thread for almost 9 days by using the words 'cortex' and 'neurological'. I declare him ahead on points.

I expect there's some socio-psychological reason why people want to have negative fame, like graffiti and (to a lesser extent if it's not personally identifiable) vandalism. A kind of glorying in self-defeat, aggressively adopting failure to avoid having it judged thus by someone else.
